The Trump Petition is a Fake
IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

Posted on 02/07/2017 1:54:53 PM PST by davikkm

At the time of writing, a UK petition to refuse President Donald Trump an official state visit with the Queen has hit nearly 2 million signatures. Under British legislation, any petition with this amount of signatures MUST be debated in Parliament. On the surface this seems like a fairly reasonable exercise in the democratic process. But it is not. It’s a fake. And the people behind it are the same people protesting the Trump presidency in the UK and the US.

Every major newspaper (both print and online), has ran articles on this petition. It is being used a propaganda tool to promote the idea that a majority of Brits object to President Trump and his policies. Using information to inform is one thing; using information (especially when that information is concocted) is propaganda. And our governments are complicit.

The analysis that the poll is “fake” is not fantastically better, scientifically, than any total random poll, which is all the “petition” is, as are all “on line” petitions.

These signatures are coming from automated BOTS, not from real people. Soros’ Open Borders Society is paying IT programmers to do this.

Program the command into a computer, hit send, go. It’s like speed dial, auto-signing really fast, but appears to be coming from thousands of real people because it’s bouncing around, snatching names and mixing up combinations of names, and pinging different IP addresses.

“Create public opinion, seize power,” is the slogan behind it.
A careful examination of the “signatures” would reveal names and IP addresses that don’t match and thus are bogus.
