Growing Evidence That Russia Using ‘The Resistance’ To Stoke Division
The Daily Caller ^ | 11/02/2017 | Pater Hasson

Posted on 11/02/2017 11:11:04 AM PDT by ForYourChildren

As more information comes out on Russian influence operations in the United States, evidence is building that the dominant anti-Trump movement, the self-described “resistance,” has been used by Russia to stoke division and undermine the White House.

After Trump’s electoral victory, Russian cyber operations began focusing on “fomenting discord about the validity of [Trump’s] election,” Facebook general counsel Colin Stretch told a Senate Judiciary panel on Tuesday. Sean Edgett, general counsel for Twitter, offered a similar assessment.

“During the election, they were trying to create discord between Americans, most of it directed against Clinton. After the election you saw Russian-tied groups and organizations trying to undermine President Trump’s legitimacy. Is that what you saw on Facebook?” South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham asked Edgett and Stretch, Politico reported. Both Edgett and Stretch characterized Graham’s remark as “accurate.”

The weekend after Trump’s election, thousands of people attended a left-wing anti-Trump protest in New York City that was secretly organized by Russian operatives, ads released by the House Intelligence Committee revealed.

More than 16,000 people RSVP’d on Facebook for the protest, which was titled: “Trump is NOT my President. March against Trump.”

Well, that is just shocking, shocking I tell you. That is, that Russia would have psy-ops on its biggest rival, the US, is beyond shocking. /S

If it weren’t for the Russians, then, it’s clear that the themes of harmony of race, gender, ethnicity, and religion espoused by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton would have united us, as was their clear intention. /SS

(SS = Double Sarcasm)

“Trump is NOT my President. March against Trump.”

I'm imagining that the people who share that same feeling, will not be taking any of the Trump tax cuts, and will continue sending "their fair share" to Washington.

The projection is strong with these Dems. They accuse Trump of colluding with the Russians, yet it is the Dems colluding with the Russians. So the CPUSA still gets its orders from Moscow (see my tagline).

Total BS after they were caught in the lie the Russia helped Trump win. But then the Uranium 1 evidence showed them working with Clinton. So a lie had to be concocted to make it look like Russia is hitting both sides.

Look up the CIA umbrage program out of the vault 7 Wikileaks. They collected hacking tools from around the world. They published detailed instructions on how to make a cyber attack or a hack look like it came from any specific country they wished.
Adding in some Chinese or Cyrillic into the code. Doing the attack during normal business hours of the country in question...etc.

So after knowing that, it’s obvious that the sedition effort against Trump is based on a pure lies and misinformation.

What is more likely? That this is all a lie designed to allow them to gain tight control over internet content? Or that the Democrats are suddenly the patriotic guardians of America and are closely watching Russia?

Its laughably obvious.

Dupes; duped by the old Soviet masters who have been duping the American left for more than 70 years.

The soon-to-be Guber of Ill-Annoy promises to turn the state into the epicenter of the Anti-Trump Resistance Movement. Maybe the Hildog will return to her Ill-Annoy roots.

I think the truth is closer to this.
1) Russia is getting closer to its Christian roots rather than further away.

2) Russia has proudly rejected homosexuality that Obama and Hillary tried to force on them.

3) In 2011 Hillary tried and failed to launch a color revolution in Russia. This resulted in the expulsion of US NGOs.

4) Russia has decided the sovereign nation state and its culture must be primary over a global banking order.

5) Hillary is the epitome of globalism, homosexuality, and rabid anti-Christianity.

6) Hillary spoke of war with Russia. Trump spoke of ratcheting down the tensions and of mutual respect.

7) Hillary has always had the goal of government control over internet content. This book is a fantastic telling of her efforts as first lady to literally have internet content regulated. https://www.amazon.com/Hillarys-Secret-War-Conspiracy-Journalists/dp/1595552251

With these facts, its obvious this Russia crap is all BS and is a fight for the very soul of our nation. And Hillary’s liquor soggy brain remembers the cold war and thinks the way to get us on her side is with the “Russian squirrel”.

Those "thousands" of people, many of whom believe themselves to "educated," were acting on emotion and ginned up antipathy toward Trump, believing him not to be "worthy" because of their self-righteous judgments of him.

The Progressive cultish, tyrannical mentality, combined with the money of Soros and other wealthy sources, both domestic and foreign, poured into that "ginning" up of already-hysterical Hillary supporters and allowed many otherwise sensible, reasonable women to combine with Hollywood and other Constitutionally-illiterate individuals to "resist" and "march."

Many never cared about the Sarsour role, with its implications.
