If you read this carefully, it seems to confirm that the Russians did have an impact on vote totals because why else would we be blocking them? To stop Facebook posts?
NBC News has confirmed @nakashimae's great scoop that U.S. Cyber Command blocked internet access at the IRA troll farm during the 2018 midterms, an operation that under normal circumstances would have to be approved by the president.
YES. More of this, please. It is well within the power of the US & our allies to restrict Russia’s internet bandwidth as part of increased sanctions. It would literally only take unplugging a handful of cables. https://t.co/83mye308Cz
THREAD: Some incredible detail in this @nakashimae piece:
"The blockage was so frustrating to the trolls that they complained to their system administrators about the disruption, the officials said" https://t.co/66kFcWlFQN
Give the NSA and our intelligence community half a chance and they will block everything except their own propaganda.
“Through clever and constant propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell and vice versa, to consider the most wretched sort of life as heaven itself.” A. Hitler, 1933.
A good example of how effective propaganda can be is found in today’s opinion section of the obscure Daily Commercial in Leesburg, Florida, under the headline “Hemp’s time has arrived.”
Trump won by only 77,746 votes in three specific states and all of those votes have been accounted for and certified as being real.
Were those voters impacted by Russian propaganda? What do you think?
This is all about propaganda.
