Blog Police Creeps Are George Soros Plants
For at least a month now a crew of three or four screen names here on Free Republic have been used to spam post after post all across the board. They have decided that they are Free Republic's police, they think they speak for the whole board, and have been attempting to drive people off this site. But are they real FReepers? Or are they something else?
It is pretty clear that they are being paid to do this by a George Soros-styled, left wing organization to spam FR, attack posters, and attempt to destroy this board.
If you haven't noticed these attacks (and they're hard to miss) these three or four posters swarm any post they don't like attempting to drive the original thread posters off FR. Additionally, when any other FReeper stands up for the original post these three or four screen names are used to attack those FReepers that dare oppose them. They call their attacks a "blogpimp" attack. Anyone that posts from a blog is targeted for destruction by these "people."
Do these just three or four screen names belong to real FReepers that think they know better than everyone else and imagine that they speak for everyone? Or are they something more nefarious? Are they really, in fact, a left-wing, astroturf effort meant to disrupt Free Republic?
Let's take a look at the methods of these screen names to see that their efforts are a perfect example of leftists methods…
Long-Term Plans
One of the many methods of these infiltrating leftists is to set up a screen name, use it for a while in a way that makes it seem as if the screen name is a normal poster. And then, ultimately, use the screen name for their actual purpose -- disrupting the board. This has happened on many other sites. It is a long-term project that these leftists engage.
Attack Times
The same three or four names pop up at all hours of the day or night. It's as if there is really a whole crew of people constantly monitoring FR for a post they can attack. It is a bit hard to believe that a real FReeper could be online ready to attack at 7AM, Noon, 9AM, 9PM, AND 1AM. But these screen names are used to attack at all hours of the day. It is easy to suspect that these three or four screen names are being used by multiple people in an organized campaign and we know the left has paid for crews that do this all across the Internet. The left posts fake messages on thousands of different websites a day and we here know for a fact that some of these leftists try their hardest to disrupt FR.
A Series of Lies
Like true leftists they employ always changing accusations of why the posts they are attacking is what they claim is a bad post. One minute they are claiming that an original post is "making money" off FReepers. Then when that is proven wrong they claim that the original post is "stealing" content from others and not original material. Then when that is proven wrong they suddenly find that their complaint is that the original post is asking FReepers to click offsite to see more information. Next they begin claiming that FR rules have been violated when they clearly haven't been. It is clear that there is no satisfying them because their complaints change nearly every day. Of course, the reason their complaints are ever changing is because they don't care about the complaints, they care about disrupting FR.
Name Calling, Attacking Others
Another example of the leftist methods of these screen names is abusive attacks, name calling, and belligerent behavior. These attackers have called FReepers vile names (especially "homosexuals") when they are opposed. They swarm any supporter of the original thread they are attacking and also follow them to other entries on FR to attack them there, too. This is typical leftist, thug behavior.
The Goal
One of the things these left-wing infiltrators claim is that they only want bloggers to post an entire post in FR and to stop FR members from clicking to blogs. But the real goal is to drive bloggers off FR in order to stop bloggers from talking to each other and to isolate conservatives apart from each other, stopping coordination and "fellowship," if you will. They want bloggers cut out of the major influence they've gained in this New Media era.
Yes, there is a whole lot going on here that should outrage an honest FReeper.
-They claim that FR rules are being broken. This is obviously a lie because the moderators have made no attempt to stop the sort of posts that these fake screen names are being used to attack. If the mods have made no attempt to stop these original posts, it is obvious no rules are being broken.
-These fake screen names have been used off FR, too. For instance one of the fake screen names was used to attack me and name call in the comments of my own YouTube channel. I had to delete the vile comments attributed to this screen name. So it is clear that these names are being used to attack other sites, too.
-These names have been used to attack posts put in the FR blog section. Yes, paradoxically this organized attack against posts from blogs is going on IN THE FR BLOG SECTION! Clearly they don't care about truth or honesty. Attacking postings from blogs in the very section in which they are supposed to be posted is illogical, but it is a good way to disrupt the board.
-Even when they are directly told by multiple FReepers that their actions are not wanted they then step up the attacks by creating oversized images and posing dozens of times in a thread.
-Also as they've been told by dozens of FReepers that their actions are not wanted and even as their complaints have been ignored by the mods they continue day in and day out to initiate these attacks. Clearly this is a whole program as any normal poster would have tired of this campaign after a month of their complaints being ignored by the mods. Who would put so much efort and time into such an organized attack without being paid?
In the end it is obviously all a left-wing , paid for campaign because of the persistence. After all, a normal, real poster if he didn't like a particular sort of thread would simply not click on them and read them. A normal person would avoid such a thread. But these fake screen names swarm every post they claim not to like, they do so dozens of times a day, they do so all together, and they do so multiple times on every post. THAT is an organized campaign, not just an honest poster miffed at another FReeper for posting something e doesn't like.
One guy obsessing about an issue is one thing. We all see one guy here and there that does this. But a whole crew of such obsessors? Hardly seems real, does it? No, it all smacks of an organized, left-wing, paid-for campaign.
The solution? Well, obviously ignoring them has been successful. After all, this paid-for campaign has resulted in no actions by the mods in favor of the campaigner's goal (that would be the elimination of many FReepers from the site). But the annoyance they represent is still disrupting every thread upon which they appear. The only other soution is to complain to the mods and report these guys, I suppose.
In any case, what ever becomes of this obviously Soros paid-for campaign, I thought it was something we should all be aware of.
Lastly, I'll use my own posts that these leftists have been attacking as an example. I have been a FReeper for five years and posting my original content every single day for almost that whole time. I have been posting the same stuff for five years and never once gotten a complaint until this last month or so. Only over the last month I've been attacked by these fake FReepers all of a sudden and all at once? As I said, this is an organized effort. NOT honest FReepers.
(I will not name the fake screen names in this post. They will reveal themselves in a few minutes after this is posted, so I won't have to name names here. They'll do it themselves, I'm sure.)
Our “host” seems to have left the thread.
thank you. i will try to think about that.
Exactly.
Not that? I was really unprepared for that.
Good detective work. Maybe Mr. “Thompson” has gotten a hold of one of those time travelers featured on C2C. The man has got billions. Maybe he has used FR to manipulate time and see how we react to it. Oh my! Time to pack.
Manchurian candidate, for sure! If not then he's just a cranky old asshat............
Don’t forget the garlic necklace...
...and the cowbell.
I assume you have researched the significance of the number 42.
I will be flogged out of existence.
It is the number after 41 and before 43. Also in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Aliens. They are here.
I’m going to go with cranky old asshat.
Then you DO know.
Good.
It was a classic.
Blast from the past!
Maybe he’s hiding in a hole after making such an idiot of himself.... :)
I would like to express my sincere thanks for this post. Bringing this thread to our attention, particularly considering its insidious nature, is a service of the first order. Thank you, sir. Now we can take action.
Of course, the threat is you. Have you ever posted an article written by anyone other than yourself? I note that you have replied to threads other than your own articles, but they are decidedly few and far between. I also note that most of your mindless little posts have fewer than 10 responses, half no doubt from the blog pimp posse, hard at work. Your purpose on Free Republic is clearly no more than to serve as a cheap reflector to your sorry attempt to earn a living. I think you have a perfect right to do this, but when you are selling no more than toxic pig entrails, don’t expect me to fall for your claim that is U.S. Prime Filet Mignon.
Your very useful vanity will no doubt result in future responses to your posts being cut at least in half. Well done!
What a sinister mastermind!
Boy, you really showed us!
LOL!
Now everybody knows that you rode such a short bus to school that you had to sit next to the driver!
;-D
