PTY on suicide watch! How will he ever recover from this epic stumping?

The Atlantic Council takes money from George Soros hedge funds, shilled for the Iran nuclear deal, and pushed the now debunked meme that Russia hacked the US election.

You fool everyone with 8 teeth, I'll give you that.

The Atlantic Council takes money from George Soros hedge funds

Nobody gives a fuck if some organization is partially funded by a wealthy philanthropist that has funds which donate to thousands of organizations. That doesn't mean he's literally holding the strings of every single person associated with any of those organizations, you fucking windowlicker.

shilled for the Iran nuclear deal

.

A group the White House recently identified as a key surrogate in selling the Iran nuclear deal gave National Public Radio $100,000 last year to help it report on the pact and related issues

Completely inoffensive and not a rebuttal in the least. It looks like you're trying to evade from the fact that you got caught spreading utter bullshit all over reddit/twitter by pointing out that said organization has political views you disagree with. Remove yourself when.

Lol, Soros literally paid the organization to push the Iran nuclear deal to intellectuals and the public. They are hired guns, working for anyone who will pay them. The author of this article pushes actual conspiracy theories about Russia hacking the election, which have been debunked multiple times by the intelligence community. Their hilarious attempt to claim I run some kind of network online is laughable. I just post my writing and other people pick it up/spread it unsolicited.

I can see you're pretty triggered by the research I do, stay mad.

I still love how you think whining non sequiturs about some rich guy you don't like excuses posting bullshit and believing any garbage you read on pastebin if it's politically convenient, fucking mong.

mong

Wow, racism and phobia of the mentally disabled! Your true colors are showing.

The smear doesn't even have the timeline right, I posted that story to Reddit before anyone saw the pastebin.

Wow, racism and phobia of the mentally disabled! Your true colors are showing.

"mong" isn't racist and is common slang in the UK, dumb cunt. also I'm not a rabid SJW so don't try that angle on me.

I posted that story to Reddit before anyone saw the pastebin.

All it shows is that it was posted on pastebin first, then posted on reddit after. How is it supposed to know who else saw it? It's simply using the dates it was posted on.

It's short for mongoloid, a racist term that demeans the mentally disabled. I don't give a shit where you are from. Stop being so salty that I called you out for it.

Maybe, you know, they could have gotten their facts straight by contacting the author. But they weren't interested in that because this is a smear piece and not intended to give an impartial view of what happened. Not intellectually honest journalism.

It's short for mongoloid, a racist term that demeans the mentally disabled.

Yet in the UK it has absolutely no racial connotation and is used casually like wanker.

Maybe, you know, they could have gotten their facts straight by contacting the author.

Whether it was on TD or pastebin first is a trivial detail that doesn't excuse anything. It still shows you posted this bullshit to several subs, including astroturfing it to a German political sub for Frauke despite the fact that you're not German and can't read or write German. How about you stop interfering in the political discussion of other countries with complete bullshit you astroturfing twat.

muh culture, it's not racist

lol

I posted it to subreddits where I thought the information would be relevant and where readers might be interested in it. That is how Reddit works. So do you consider all journalists who cover international news news to be intervening in the politics of foreign countries? The Atlantic Council literally makes a career out of doing that.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to have to go throw some popcorn on so that I can put all your salt to good use.

I posted it to subreddits where I thought the information would be relevant and where readers might be interested in it.

Oh, so innocent of you to post complete made up bullshit propaganda all over reddit, poor you, such a victim for getting called out on it.

intervening in the politics of foreign countries

You're acting like we don't already know there is a concerted effort by pol and elsewhere to prop up nationalist politicians in Europe following the Trump victory & Brexit, especially Marine Le Pen. But you can continue pretending its all innocuous 'journalism'.

Nobody gives a fuck if some organization is partially funded by a wealthy philanthropist

Speak for yourself faggot, enjoy your propaganda.

Enjoy your interracial cuckold fetish. Hopefully they ket you prep the bull next time

Low energy, sad.

Awww they didnt, did they :(

Damn, must have triggered you good. Sorry not sorry that Soros and his pet road Clinton got btfo.

You don't have to be ashamed anymore, you know.

Lol check out this nigga and how triggered he is.

Literally everything is funded by George Soros according to these people.

This will be relevant for years to come http://imgur.com/WVv7GcW

Are you, who pay you? Are you shilling for free?

No one pays me, I'm just a guy trying to get information out.

Even when you know its fake and just trying to make the opposition look bad!

Not what Wikileaks said! Fake news from a propaganda outlet who takes money from George Soros, Ukrainian oligarchs and US government agencies.

REEEEE MY RAPIST INTERNET IDOL (who I only started like once he joined my side) SAID YOU'RE LYING!!!1! HE'D NEVER LIE OR TRY TO DECEIVE ANYONE. HE'S NOT TRYING TO PUSH HIS AGENDA OR ANYTHING.

Someone is paying you. No one spreads as much bullshit as you have under their own free will unless they are a libtard or being paid to do it (or both):

Haha ROMDOS stop being so salty and stop shilling. I absolutely wish I got paid for this.

Don't blame me for a beef you have with someone I'm not affiliated with.

Not ROMDOS. You are literally the least skilled group of psy-op professionals the world has ever seen.

You shouldn't have admitted you work with him them.

You shills are beyond low energy.

I just lifted that from a Google search. You are correct, I am low energy. I only bother telling a few people a day about your bullshit.

The problem for you was her one of those people was Ben Swann. That really threw a wrench into your machine, didn't it?

Again, have your boss PM me for some pro Psy-op tips. Your problem is that you are too high energy and everyone sees through your bullshit.

TOP KEK WEW LAD!

Not really, Ben Swann did well sourced, objective reporting and I had no problem with his work at all.

The hell is all this about, have I unearthed some divisions within the pizzagate ranks?

Yeah, I predicted MSM would attack PTY for fake news a while ago. I confess to being a pizzagate believer but not the paid shill version of it covered by idiots such as guys like DisobedientMedia and the "YouTube truthers". They push a Satanic Ritual Abuse/MK Ultra torture/murder/cannibalism narrative. I think the real story is that pizzagate involves pedophile child abusers manufacturing all of this nonsense to cover up their pedophilia as "fake news".

Lots of nutjobs are covering pizzgate on YouTube (I think most of them are on someone's payroll):

Titus Frost

David Seaman

reallygraceful

Victurus Libertas VL

SGTReport

George Webb

Jeff Rense

Bad Guacamole

Echo Truths

The HoneyBee

EXPOSED TRUTH

Jennifer Messenger 2

...and many more. They are kinda mad at me because I seem to be one of like 10 people who believe pizzagate has unveiled pedophiles but not murders. Feel free to tell me I am nuts, I am used to it by now.

Well if you're calling /u/PleadingtheYiff a shill, and he's calling you a shill, doesn't it ever make you stop and think "what if this whole thing is bullshit"?

If we were talking normal reddit shilling, yes. But this shilling extends to Voat, YouTube, Twitter, reddit, various blogs, etc.

There are connected groups of people commenting and sourcing information from all these areas. It is one big network. From my experience it is much more than a group of 4chan trolls - this effort has big money behind it.

Are you aware you're basically talking about the same kind of networks that all the people who talk about Russian propaganda efforts are talking about?

Yes. There are narratives to fulfill!

What do you mean?

You know that's CisWhiteMaelstrom right?

I didn't, but wouldn't be surprised.

This is one (of many) of his alts created after the original /r/the_donald mod drama shakeup ruse.

I'm drawing a blank on the name of the original mod (like jdg23 or something short like that). He's still around as well on a multitude of alts.

It was /u/jcm267

They ran pizzagategear and the voat mod team also:

Pizzagategear: https://voat.co/v/pizzagateshills/1541317

V/pizzagate mod team: https://voat.co/v/pizzagateshills/1624475

I can confirm that r/the_donald mods laughed at me when I informed them about this disinfo campaign over a month ago.

God I hope if I'm ever as retarded as that I at least have the self awareness to kill myself.

Damn an actually decent use of medium?

Also: needs moar actual drama.

Amazing how these investigative reports only ever go after right leaning subs/mods

They attack the dumbest of us, but we need an attack on the least self-aware, too, which is why we need a CB2 expose.

There was a 'SJW cabal' expose done a couple years ago. In fact, iirc it lead to /r/subredditcancer to come into being. Or maybe there were two different exposes. Either way, until very recently the only mods who people really chimped out about were ones that were thought to be 'SJWs', aside from a few isolated cases (e.g. Violentacrez).

We already have Wikileaks for the rest.

I mean, no official journalist would've written anything critical of Clinton during the election, or else they'd be at risk of committing suicide by shooting themselves three times in the back from roughly 30 yards.

It's a lot of talk for some shitty conspiracy theory which didn't even make it to a line in Infowars. Can't they do something on the mechanics of Pizzagate rumor mills or something?

Well it still managed to get 9000 upvotes on The_Donald and 1k on conspiracy... They say they deliberately used something that didn't go so viral so it would be easier to isolate how it spreads and by whom.

everything on TD gets over 9000 upvotes

I can post a pic of a cat and it'd get up to 9k on TD.

I don't know how many of those are human votes anyway.

That's somewhat covered in the article.

DisobedientMedia is the same group originating the torture/kill narrative of pizzagate. They run the conspiracy blog "The Millennium Report" which spread the PTY article "Democrat Child Sex Ring Appears to Revolve Around Washington DC Pizza Parlor — Comet Ping Pong — Owned by James Achilles Alefantis" http://archive.is/TdmJZ

They ran pizzagategear.com (the "KILL ROOM FOUND" guys). They control the Voat v/pizzagate mod team: https://voat.co/v/pizzagateshills/1624475

I'm not reading through all of that.

It's a whole bunch of doodoo anyway

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 93%. (I'm a bot)


In this report, the DFRLab tracks one fake story about Merkel posted on Reddit, revealing a cluster of sites supporting populist and far-right politicians in Europe.

Immediately after posting on /r/the donald, Craddick posted the story to a clutch of other subreddits: /r/SorosForPrison, which attacks financier George Soros; /r/HillaryForPrison, which attacks Hillary Clinton; /r/conspiracy, focused on conspiracy theories; /r/UK politics, which mixes UK news and largely pro-Brexit views; and a German stream, /r/the frauke, named after Frauke Petry, leader of the anti-EU and anti-Islam Alternative für Deutschland party.

The focus on Reddit is significant: the site has repeatedly served as the insertion point for fictional or fake stories into the mainstream.
