>A group linked to the Russian troll farm behind thousands of fake Facebook ads paid personal trainers in New York, Florida, and other parts of the United States to run self-defense classes for African Americans in an apparent attempt to stoke fear and gather contact details of Americans potentially susceptible to their propaganda.
"Be ready to protect your rights... Let them know that black power matters," the group, known as Black Fist, wrote on its website promoting the events.
>The group appears to have been set up in January 2017, and it ran events before stopping at some point this year, evidence that Russia's attempts to use social media to meddle in American affairs have extended far beyond the 2016 presidential election.
>The events, which appear to have been designed to suggest a connection to the Black Lives Matter movement, were -- unbeknownst to the trainers who led them -- likely conceived by the Russian government-linked Internet Research Agency.
Huh.

>MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin was reticent on Tuesday about whether it would accept an invitation from U.S. President Donald Trump to hold a summit with Vladimir Putin in Washington later this year, saying only that the two men had other chances to meet as well.
>Ushakov did not explain why Moscow had not yet accepted Trump’s invitation. But when he was asked for details about how Trump had behaved at the Helsinki summit, he declined, citing a desire not to inflame what he described as an already overheated U.S. political situation.
>“After the (Helsinki) summit you know what kind of atmosphere there is around its outcome,” Ushakov told reporters. “I think it would be wise to let the dust settle and then we can discuss all these questions in a business-like way. But not now.”
Banter.

American media has lost the fucking plot

I don't know, at least from my perspective their mainstream media is following the same zany plot lines it always has.

Stop getting your news from Jow Forums, user.

Do you realise that Jow Forumstards stick out like a sore thumb on this site?

That's the whole point though. They're sowing divisions on both sides. And you've fallen for it.

How well does this paranoia compare to the red scare?
Ayden Sullivan
No they don't. The other user's post is hardly Jow Forums because it has a seed of truth and isn't delusional, retarded assertions. Short off-hand comment that doesn't lend to the flavour you decry. And Jow Forums itself is not the monolithic bogeyman you envision every time you try to poke and oust someone as your idealised poltard. Perhaps you mistake disagreeing with your social sensibilities for being Jow Forums? Maybe that's why you think it's so blatant. These days I see more people talking about Jow Forums and claiming others to be poltards than I see examples that can honestly be said to be Jow Forumstardery (that is, Jow Forumstards posting their baitey vitriol on boards they don't visit or understand).

at least when they use ((coincidence parentheses)) I can automatically stop reading their posts, since nothing intelligent is bound to follow
Eli Roberts
Yes, I haven't been so satisfied with trolling. The only downside is their lack of English.

Propaganda was the only thing Russia was good at it, so it makes sense this is how they fight in the new century.
I blame US internet companies for not blocking VPN's and Russian IP's. I'd also blame Facebook,twitter for not doing more to stop Russian propaganda and destabilization tactics.
Ryan Young
They research the internet, what do you not understand?

It is in my news feed right now

There are thousands of theses types of bloggers in the Baltic countries too. They can write about anything for clickbait so they can earn 200-400e per month.
Russia just industrialized it with gov support.

You guys have VK plus your country bans many american sites anyway. It would be no loss to your average russian and a great win for us to be free from your governments spam
Robert Campbell
Yeah "researching" by having quotas for how much to post on livejournal and other sites with comment sections. That's not research.
This is why no country trusts you. You only have yourself to blame. You let Putin walk all over you for over a decade, and it's come to this

Exploiting racial divisions in the U.S. is an old tactics of the Soviets. As their president is former KGB there is nothing suprising about it. The media isn't pretending there were no racial animosity, merely that the Russians were unsuprisingly taking advantage of it.

Where did anyone call it terrorism?

Yeah, porn and extremists one.
Owen Sullivan
The definition of terrorism requires violence as a means of generating fear (for political change)
Training people in self defense is not violent, so it is not terrorism. Threatening people with violence is also not terrorism unless it's actually followed through. That's basically where this line is drawn
R*ssians should fuck off anyway though. They're a blight on western society, just like the Golden Horde
Julian Davis
Facebook and Twitter are private companies and they shouldn't censor anything. And most importantly, they shouldn't have been censoring anything proactively before the alleged """hacking""" happened
Daniel Myers
>Facebook and Twitter are private companies and they shouldn't censor anything
They're private entities, so they set their own rules for censorship. They can do whatever they want. And they probably will, if it starts threatening their bottom line (money)
Facebook in particular is already reeling from all the bad publicity it received from Cambridge Analytica, for example
Ryan Edwards
They can get rid of whatever they want as a private company, Censorship is when the government stops you from saying something, not anyone or anything else. Freedom of speech is not freedom of consequences.
