EXCLUSIVE: Pro-Trump Propaganda Posing as 'News' Sites Originate from Macedonia
The Washington Examiner ^ | 07 April 2016 | -staff-

Posted on 04/07/2016 9:24:24 AM PDT by Reaganite Republican

Pro-Trump 'news' websites have flooded the internet with demonstrably false propaganda in the last few months. These phony reports are presumably designed to sway undecided voters toward presidential candidate Donald Trump, while relentlessly slandering his opponent Senator Ted Cruz.

In the wake of the Wisconsin primary, for example, supporters of Donald Trump took to social media posting what appeared to be valid news reports making fraudulent claims that electronic voting machines in Wisconsin were switching from Donald Trump to Ted Cruz...

LOL. Isn’t this the 3rd of 4th FReeper that has questioned you pinging your list and in the same context of calling in your thugs/queens/etc. to back up your insults. I wonder if they FReepmail each other their cheesy come-backs.

As the song went in 'Casablanca',

"A ping is just a ping,
Unless you hear Ka-CHING!
As trolls scatter with a shriek and sigh,
A ping list brings out the very best,
As trolls all lie ..."

Good points, mk. They will definitely smear him over his facial and vocal similarity to Senator McCarthy (a true American hero) and they can depend on their own ignorance as well as the ignorance of the American people to believe every lie ever told about McCarthy.

Chris Matthews has already started down that road. For now, most are holding their fire.

That lost 4 cases that he argued before the SCOTUS.

(they always leave that part out)

>> Hope you guys got a plan B other than rioting <<

Of course. Riots are only Plan C.

Plan B starts by giving Trump Troopers the names and Cleveland hotel room numbers of all non-Trump delegates. The rest of the plan has not been publicly revealed by plan master Roger Stone, but I think you can figure that part out on your own.

Well, I’m still preferring Cruz or Kasich to Trump, fwiw. Trump is a strange and immature man, irregardless of his gifts and positions. Reminds me of the drawbacks of Ross Perot and Schwarzenegger, plus some other drawbacks that are uniquely his own.

We had a lot of sane people as possibilities, and now we are left with these guys. I’m so disappointed. But they are all still better than Hillary or Sanders.

Interesting read all right.

The article at National Examiner is unsourced. No reporter or writer.

The study was done by someone at a website called “Tavernkeepers” named John Daniels. I don’t find any info about him, but his website is clearly anti-Trump

There is no information provided on the website regarding who founded or who is funding the Tavern website.

Then I went to the link provided in the Tavernkeepers article....The one that John Daniels supposedly used. Though the article implies that the alleged Pro-Trump sites are located in Eastern Europe. Actually, ONLY TWO OF THE SIX WERE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE US. The Tavern article drew some nasty conclusion about pro-soviet linkages with Michael Savage and Infowars...you Cruzers can elaborate on that because I don’t get any of that

BTW, I checked these so-called “Pro-Trump propaganda sites” as the title would have you believe. In fact, 2 of the websites noted are refuting the article posted at National Examiner. Just sayin...

Just sad to me how an unsourced article with links to questionable very anti-Trump website is the basis for the story about Trump propaganda websites...Sheesh

“conservatives have chosen Trump. The FR caucus proves it.”

The same 175 or so people voting for trump over and over and over again proves nothing.

Thank you for that. Yes he did. here are the details. The last information is a blight, but I personally know a case where a paralegal lost a VA case because of her stupidity. Vet died because no one did CPR. Anyway...

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/27b3b2c7f0f04c7b84d66d75dbdb8e5d/cruz-makes-his-vast-supreme-court-knowledge-campaign-issue

“Ted Cruz was tireless in searching for every possible opportunity, not just to talk about, but to implement and execute, a conservative constitutional vision for the country,” said James Ho, Cruz’s successor as Texas solicitor general.

In his first Supreme Court case in 2003, Cruz argued Texas shouldn’t have to honor an agreement to improve health coverage for poor children. He lost 9-0.

The following year, Cruz implored the Supreme Court to uphold a 16-year prison sentence for a man convicted of stealing a calculator from Wal-Mart. The justices remanded the case to a lower court, which sentenced the man to time served.

The case Cruz most trumpets brought him to the Supreme Court twice and involved a Mexican national named Jose Ernesto Medellin.

Medellin was convicted of the rape and murder of two teenage girls in Houston in 1993, but wasn’t notified of his right to contact Mexican diplomats upon arrest, as dictated by the 1963 Vienna Convention. The International Court of Justice ruled in 2004 that U.S. courts should review the convictions and sentences for Medellin and 50 other Mexican-born prisoners because of the treaty violation.

President George W. Bush directed state courts to review such cases, and Texas sued.

“It was an unusual circumstance,” Cruz, who once worked for Bush’s presidential campaign and administration, told The Associated Press in 2014. “Especially when the president was a Texan, was a Republican and was a friend.”

[soooo now we know why GW hates Cruz!]

The Supreme Court first sent the case back to state courts. Upon hearing it a second time, the justices sided with Texas 6-3 and Medellin was executed.

In 2006, Cruz defended congressional redistricting maps drawn by Texas’ GOP-controlled Legislature. The Supreme Court didn’t declare them unconstitutional, despite claims they deliberately dispersed the voting power of the state’s growing Hispanic population. But it did rule that a sprawling South Texas congressional district had to be redrawn.

Two more Cruz Supreme Court arguments came in 2007 and involved the death penalty.

Cruz argued a man convicted of killing a former Taco Bell co-worker should be executed despite the jury not being instructed to consider several factors, including his having been abused as a child. Cruz also defended the death sentence of a killer whose schizophrenia meant he might not be able to understand why he was being executed. He lost both 5-4.

Cruz also lost 5-4 his final case as solicitor general, an unsuccessful defense of states’ imposing the death penalty in cases of child rape. It originated in Louisiana, but Cruz served as lead attorney for 10 states.

In his filings, Cruz overlooked that in 2006, Congress had modified the military’s justice code to add child rape as a crime punishable by death. He was so worried that The New York Times would write that his office “screwed up by not finding” that statue that he wrote to another attorney via email: “Would love to have some sort of response, so we don’t look silly.”

Your observation regarding Schwarzenegger is interesting. Polling out of California shows that those that voted for Arnold are breaking 3-1 Trump over Cruz. Cult of personality at work here.

Pure pro-Cruz propaganda.

The voting machines were observed to adjust to 49 percent right before the end of voting.

I didn’t realize the Examiner was a piece of carp.

We looked at the code... a few of the sites are owned by a Brit named Michael Clarke, who is on the run with his disabled mother. google michael clarke Blackpool, England. He’s under court order to return, seems to be running a scam looting his mothers payout from NHS. Lives with his male companion...

He may well be doing this for the ad click money... anything on Trump gets clicks.
