Kremlin-Connected ‘Troll Farm’ Organized Facebook Event To Protest Donald Trump
The Federalist ^ | 10/31/2017 | Bre Payton

Posted on 10/31/2017 2:36:34 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

Days after Donald Trump won the presidential election in November 2016, thousands flocked to the streets of New York City to demonstrate against the president elect in a protest organized by a Kremlin-connected Facebook page called BlackMattersUS, The Hill reports. Between 5,000 and 10,000 people attended the protest organized by the Facebook page, which, according to an archived screen grab, had more than 99,000 likes.

“Join us in the streets! Stop Trump and his bigoted agenda!” the Facebook event page reads for the protest, which was called “Trump is NOT my President. March against Trump.” “Divided is the reason we just fell,” it reads. “We must unite despite our differences to stop HATE from ruling the land.”

BlackMattersUS hosted another event page to protest the Electoral College, called “One Person One Vote One March” to question the legitimacy of America’s democratic system.
 
As it turns out, BlackMattersUS is linked to Internet Research Agency (IRA), a so-called “troll farm” with connections to the Russian Kremlin that’s purchased 3,000 political ads and has been identified as operating 470 now-deleted Facebook accounts to push agitprop and sow discord among Americans, The Hill reported. IRA also used an Instagram account to push anti-Dakota-pipeline propaganda under the username @Native_Americans_United, The Daily Caller reported.

Why is it that the democrats play the useful idiot so easily?

<<>>

One reason is that they have no loyalty to America. To them, America is to be comfortably taken advantage of and used for their benefit.

America is comfortable for most people even those who have it rough- case in point I was talking with the lovely couple who have immigrated here from Sri Lanka and I was asking them questions about it. The topic of there civil war came up and they explained how brutal it was. Then we were talking about lifes difficulties and getting through them and it came out that as a child the wife had to walk over around dead bodies on the way to school. Come again I said. Well we had a couple of snow days i replied. Both of them love it here and are prospering - I suspect they voted for Trump as well.

Of course. She was compromised and Putin knew it. Russia had bought her and Bill. Plus they had ALL her email to use as extortion. HRC was the kremlin candidate.

“These Americans Were Tricked Into Working For Russia. They Say They Had No Idea.” But I think they did it on purpose.

Very interesting, and it proves the Russians aren’t really pro-Trump.

Natalia Veselnitskaya. Remember here? The woman from the Don Jr. meeting. Correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t there images on her Facebook page of anti-Trump marches?

During the election on Facebook there was far more anti-Trump absolute fake “news” and ads than anything that was for him in any way. It has always been a huge joke to me that people voted for him because of anything that was on Facebook. People that believed the stuff that flooded FB during the election would have voted against him, not for him.

Russians backed Hillary - she was known to them AND she gave them control over 20% of our Uranium... the fuel used to make Nuclear Bombs. Trump was an ‘unknown’ and they had almost nothing on him. Proof: see below.

from link:

A Russian internet farm used a now-suspended Instagram account to push anti-Dakota pipeline propaganda during the 2016 election, according to Russian outlet RBC.

The account with the handle @Native_Americans_United shared political pictures relating to various Native American topics of debate, including the oil pipeline through North Dakota that was under construction in 2016

“Join us in the streets! Stop Trump and his bigoted agenda!” the Facebook event page reads for the protest, which was called “Trump is NOT my President.

Is Donald Trump your president?
