and θΏ› The establishment war against so-called fake news launched after the Democrats lost the election has moved to the next level. Activists on social media tweeting about the situation in Syria are being denounced as either Russian trolls or bots. The letter in Sino-Asian claims these critics of government policy in regard to Syria and Russia are not even human, their algorithms sent out by agents of Vladimir2/28
Putin. The latest victim of this campaign to shut down any opposition to the illegal war in Syria, a Finnish activist going by the handle of Citizen Halo, was slammed by the times as a Russian troll. Mark Bridgian Debra Haines lead off an April 17 article by saying Russian trolls are responsible for the Skripal poisoning conspiracy theories, and were mobilized to flood social media with propaganda on3/28
Trump's latest air strike on Syria. Ben Nimmo, no relation to yours truly, from the Atlantic Council said the Russian disinformation machine has gone into overdrive since the debunked chemical attack in Syria. The Atlantic Council takes money from Soros' open society foundations and is involved in the effort to discredit alternative media. The Council is also linked up with the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, NATO, the State Department, and4/28
Lockheed Martin. Bridgian Haines cited a report put out by the Pentagon that says there has been a 2000 percent increase in Russian troll activity since Trump's illegal shellboat air strike. Dana White, the chief Pentagon spokesperson, made the claim during a press conference. She didn't bother to provide evidence of this, but then these sort of baseless claims made by government bureaucrats are now routine. And on that5/28
point, as Secretary Matt has said last night, the Russian disinformation campaign has already begun. There has been a 2000 percent increase in Russian trolls in the last 24 hours. Therefore, we will keep you all abreast of the facts moving forward. An analyst from the cyber security firm Cyber Reason said there is little doubt Russia is engaged in increased disinformation campaigns and low-level activity by apparently independent6/28
groups. A reference to individuals criticizing US and UK war policy and not connected to Russia or its alleged disinformation campaign. At the same time, the Pentagon warned Russia is involved in malicious cyber activity, using supposedly compromised computer network routers to attack US and UK government agencies and companies. The warning was issued jointly by the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and Britain's National Cybersecurity Center. In7/28
order to heighten the level of alarm and fear and get the attention of a public increasingly weary of such warnings and hyperbole, in response to the attack by the Times, Citizen Halo posted a tweet saying she's not a bot but a grandmother from Finland who has been an anti-war activist since the Vietnam War. On April 21st, the anti-war activist Miram Sallusi, also known as Mimi El-Lam8/28
and Partisan Girl, sent out a tweet drawing attention to the UK government and its propaganda media, including hit pieces on a number of anti-war activists, including Lebanese geopolitical commentators Sarah, Abdullah, Tim Hayward, Pears Robinson, and others. Now online activity by Russian bots, trolls and automated accounts has increased by 4,000 percent following the Salisbury poisoning and alleged chemical attack in Syria. This is from government analysis that's9/28
identified what they call Kremlin-inspired accounts that repeatedly post messages to spread disinformation and distort the truth. But then figures are quite extraordinary. They've looked at 45,000 or they've identified 45,000 accounts. I think we've got one of them that they have isolated for us. Now this is they called Partisan Girl, which actually, she is a prolific tweet, a 48.9,000 tweets in her tweeting history. Very large follower10/28
base, tweeting a lot about Syria and about Russia and about the US and the UK and how they all overlap. Now the argument by the government is that having looked very deeply into her Twitter history, they believe that some of her tweets are nefarious. So they are not necessarily, she is not necessarily representing an individual with individual views, but her tweets are pushing out a message11/28
that it is allied to the Kremlin in a certain way. Hi everyone, this is Syrian Girl. I don't know if you've seen the news, but apparently, according to Sky News and the Guardian, I am a robot. Cue the music. Now that's over, let's get to the serious part. I'm not a robot. I'm a human being. I bleed red. I assure you that I'm not an android12/28
and I was not sent over here from an alien civilization to inform you that your news is fake. In the past, the US and UK governments more or less ignored criticism of their illegal wars. During the Bush administration, George Bush dismissed the anti-war movement, the largest since the Vietnam War, of being little more than a focus group. Even though Bush minimized the influence of anti-war groups13/28
at the time, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security shared an interest and monitored and infiltrated their operations. However, beginning with the easily debunked chemical attacks in Guta, Syria, and continuing with the more recent false flag in Doma and the Scrip bell case, the government has taken to attacking individual anti-war activists, portraying them as being bots or useful idiots for Russia. In other words, enemies14/28
of the state. The anti-Russian campaign took off after Hillary Clinton lost the election to Donald Trump, and the DNC accused the Russians of a concerted campaign to fix the election through propaganda. The official line, or rather, line, is that WikiLeaks passed the hacked Clinton and Podesta emails on to Russia. The missing link in this philatesch's story is murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich, who almost assuredly passed15/28
data on to WikiLeaks. Russia, like the rest of the world, read the emails on the WikiLeaks website, and like millions of other people, concluded there was a whole lot of extremely devious shenanigans going on at the DNC, most notably the derailment of the Bernie Sanders campaign. Prior to the DNC's ludicrous lawsuit, alleging collusion by Russia, the Trump campaign, and WikiLeaks to fix the election, the US16/28
leaned on Ecuador to turn WikiLeaks founder Julian Sange into a prisoner locked in solitary confinement, denying him access to the internet and all human contact with the exception of his legal team. This is about a war on freedom of speech. This man has been denied the most basic right freedom of speech. It's part of a wider war. The wider war is against known enemies, and Russia17/28
is one of them China is another, but at the moment it's at a propaganda stage, and preventing Julian Sange, whose organization WikiLeaks has done so much to expose the true nature of this war, the rapacious side of this war, and the dangers that it presents, silencing him, taking away this basic freedom of speech is part of that. It's part of the propaganda war that the attack18/28
in Salisbury represents. Here we have a Russian diplomat speaking, he spelled out all over the world on the basis of no evidence, of no evidence, and when Julian Sange tweeted recently, he wasn't saying that the Russians might not necessarily be innocent of this. He was just suggesting that there was no evidence, but that's what this propaganda war is about. It is a war on speaking out.19/28
It is a war on dissent. It is a war on the very things that I'm saying at the moment. It's a war on journalism and requires collaborators. Collaborators like in the Guardian, this despicable journalist James Hall who wrote today, and other collaborators, these are not journalists, because this is about the public's right to know, and it's the public's right to know what their governments are doing.20/28
In the most part, the government has ignored activism, but during periods like the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, and prior to this, after the First World War and the rise of the labor movement and anarchism and communism, it has moved aggressively to not only discredit activists and their movements, but attack them directly in various ways, including through violence and assassination. More recently, the state has21/28
worked behind the scenes to silence a number of individuals, including the journalist Gary Webb and Michael Hastings. Intelligence agencies are adept at covering their tracks and attributing the assassination of activists. Primarily those tauting leftist causes, for instance John Lennon, Abby Hoffman, and Jerry Rubin, as the work of insane lone gunman. Its significant government and its deep-state manipulators have taken to directly attacking anti-war activists, researchers, and22/28
journalists. This is reminiscent of Gandhi, who said at first they ignore you, then they attack you. Gandhi's fate, assassinated in public during broad daylight, is likely not the sort of fate that awaits today's activists. Untimely deaths and suicides, however, are not out of the question. The vicious media campaign in the UK, also prevalent in the United States, dispensed by a script reading media that pretends to23/28
be independent while serving as the official propaganda arm of the state, will ultimately fail to dampen the work of activists. How about the most dense realize, when they look at the evidence, or rather lack thereof, that the government is lying about the Syrian chemical attacks and the deep-bunked official explanation and timeline of the script blazing. The state, arrogant and locked in its self-serving hubris, no longer24/28
bothers to manufacture believable propaganda. In addition to this inability or laziness, is the presence of an alternative media breaking down the lies shortly after they are disseminated by the propaganda media. As we know, there is a parallel campaign operating to shut down alternative media, most notably on social media, a medium that reaches billions of people every day. The state and its institutions and corporate partners are25/28
busy at work devising an apparatus to exclude quote-unquote alternative facts as conspiracy theories and Russian disinformation. The conspiracy theory myth is built on a propaganda narrative, coupled together following the events of 9-11, and is an integral component of the War on Terror business model. The latest spate of attacks on individual activists may result in activists being locked out of social media. This has already happened with26/28
a number of political figures, mostly on the so-called alt-right. It sounds hyperbolic, but Lord, this is true. This is the emerging, the greatest censorship of free speech worldwide in the history of man. Let me explain this. The left is on a jihad against conservative thought. It's happening in academia, in entertainment, in business, religion, everywhere. Everywhere where they're attacking, they're suppressing conservative thought. Now they're going to27/28
the social media giants. These social media giants have audiences in the billions, and what we've shown in this massive report is whether it's Facebook or Twitter or Google or YouTube, they're all employing different tactics to go against conservative. Let's go. More than ever, alternative social media platforms need to be built and patronized. We can no longer depend on Google, Facebook, and increasingly Twitter, which serve the
