Pro-Clinton Super PAC Caught Spending $1 Million On Social Media Trolls (usuncut.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from US Uncut: A Super PAC headed by a longtime Clinton operative is spending $1 million to hire online trolls to "correct" Bernie Sanders' supporters on social media. Correct The Record (CTR), which is operated by Clinton attack dog and new owner of Blue Nation Review David Brock, launched a new initiative this week called "Barrier Breakers 2016" for the purpose of debating supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders -- or "Bernie Bros," as they're referred to in Correct the Record's press official release -- on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and other social media platforms. The "Barrier Breakers" will also publicly thank Hillary Clinton's superdelegates and fans for supporting her campaign. The paid trolls are professional communicators, coming from public relations and media backgrounds. "The task force staff's backgrounds are as diverse as the community they will be engaging with and include former reporters, bloggers, public affairs specialists, designers, Ready for Hillary alumni, and Hillary super fans who have led groups similar to those with which the task force will organize," CTR stated.
Even better if the trolls themselves could be outed, especially the higher-profile ones...
All Super PACs are terrible and need to be outlawed, they are just ridiculous.
There is a similar group doing the same thing in Brazil to help in the coup against President Dilma. The only difference is that Brazilians trolls are really easy to be identified by the stupidity and nonsense of their comments.
Religion: The greatest weapon of mass destruction of all time
Cheapskates!
Their affection for lies and treachery is the fundamental defining property of the Clintons. Remember when Bill Clinton was president and gave his Democratic constituency nothing of what he promised, while essentially running a Republican administration? Hillary is going to be no different.
If they restrict themselves to posting factual information they are bots, not trolls
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” -Joseph Goebbels
Conservative, mod down for violating
Astroturfing has become something of the norm over the past 5 years; I've seen a huge spike in it on the various forums out there. Everything from MS's products ( Windows 8/10 trolls are somewhat infamous ) to politicians to celebrities.
Welcome to the future. I wanted flying cars, got this.
I want a redo.
Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
*sigh* and here I thought that people accusing one another of being a shill in online discussions was just people being dicks.
But I guess it is a real thing - now when someone blindly claims climate change is fake or evolution is a communist plot, or Bernie Sanders wants to destroy America, I will have to consider two alternatives? Either they are just ignorant idiots or they are paid to spread lies. I'm not sure what depresses me more.
They've been doing this against Republican media for decades. It's SOP.
Or have you forgotten the Clinton formed PAC - Media Matters for America?
There seems to be a concerted effort to talk about David Brock and his machinations. There was a clip on the David Pakman show where they basically said he wasn't *really* liberal - which is pretty funny considering all of the Democractic PACs he runs.
Anyways, this smells an awful lot like a Sanders-backed astroturfing campaign focusing on Brock's own astroturfing campaigns. // Not a Hillary fan at all // Nor Sanders, but he, at least, seems like a decent guy

Easy way to get mod points, but just because Rush Limbaugh said it, doesn't make it true.
Goebbels actually thought propaganda should be truthful.
It is perhaps comforting to thinking of the Nazis as evil in every way, but the true evil comes from how they trusted the system in which they worked without question.
Fake Quotations

Funny wording there. How are you "caught" via a press release?
"Old man yells at systemd"
So a Bernie shill is complaining that Hillary's paid shills are playing dirtier? I care. This is a false choice you have people. While Hillary would certainly be measurably worse than Bernie just due to her track record, that measure is small due to the overall lack of power that position has. It always frustrates me when presidential candidates start prattling on about all the things they're going to do. What they should be bragging about is all the things they're going to beg congress to do, since the president has no legislative power. Vetos, executive orders, and military decisions - this is what you're voting for. On the Democratic side your choices are a liar/cheat/manipulator vs. SJW. The republicans have a liar/cheat/manipulator vs. an unpredictable amateur. The choice is rough this time. It's a good thing it all doesn't really matter.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The article is written by USUncut- a magazine founded by the original founders of Occupy Wall Street.
They have posted a whole series of negative articles with questionable and unproven evidence against clinton and is largely responsible for her negative outlook since the primaries began.
FUCK Twitter!!!!!!
Now they are working against Sanders. Same PAC will extend employment to these online opinion "influencers" to try to fight Trump.
Clearly Clinton does not have a following, for Sanders and Trump followers do not need to be hired and do the work out of sheer enthusiasm. Here is an interesting factoid about the number of users in Reddit.com
1. Clinton has 12 thousand subscribers
2. Trump has 100K, almost 9 times more than Clinton.
You cant make those numbers up. While Trump is rich, he only had approx $300M in cash (from his 2014 financial statements). Most of the value is frozen in real estate, plus he owns this funny intangible $3Billion "Trump" brand. Bottom line, Trump has spent least amount of money per voter. That also means he will still need to raise money, for general election will cost billions.
We will see if Trump can shine as a media person, businessman and a deal maker. (For the record I am not voting for Trump, nor I am voting Clinton)
Besides the fact that this entire article should be modded down as flame bait and troll seed, just one thing that crossed my mind when I was reading the summary.
Don't these super PACs damage the people they are "working for" more than help them?
Independent by definition, doesn't that mean they're probably a collection of fanatics and other morons beyond control of the candidates (of any policital orientation) they are advocating, using methods that may do their favorites more harm than good?
If I was a candidate for an imaginary "Christian Party", I can imagine how pleased I would be to find the KKK or the WBC volunteering as a PAC in my name.
Not to say that real ones don't exist, but I've long been skeptical about the super-misogynistic Bernie Bros and (without getting overly conspiratorial) they've just felt false-flag to me.
Reading this makes me wonder if I wasn't just being silly thinking that.
Regardless of that and whether or not it has anything to do with the story, I follow a few pro-Clinton people who seem to have an almost clinical compulsion to attacking Bernie (ironically typically about how negative he and his supporters are)
I have to question what Clinton supporters' endgame is. I've heard everything from "Not a true democrat" (It's true, I'm an independent), "Blue no matter what" (um no, I'll evaluate everything in play), to worse. Do they all forget that this is the primary? So you've not only pissed me off and alienated me and you're going to want me to vote for your candidate in November?
Keep it up and wonder why Hillary loses to candidate X in November because of all those "Not real democrats" decided not to deal with the "real" democrat.
No, those aren't paid trolls cyberstalking you.
Just a few bored people who like to poke the local crazy to watch him jump.

Things are just like in the US.
How disgusting that they wish to "correct" the viewpoint of the voters. Or I guess I should say proles.
Twinstiq, game news
Well, this comes as no surprise. It seems that all politicians and anyone investing time and money in politics has lost all moral/ethical sense.
So.... Let the games begin! Winner is guaranteed to be the lowest form of life that money can buy.
I now think the subterfuge, lies, schemes and plots will have to become soooo baaaad, that normal people lose their lunch.
Or a low-level revolt occurs. Locally, maybe, at the voting booth everywhere and all levels.
Social media, news media and the 'good-ole-boy' network will be ignored, if wishes come true.
The ignorant will hopefully cure their ignorance, and stupid will hopefully follow a normal behavior ( no guarantees ).
And the lying, scheming, manipulating arseholes/asshats will either get shut out or lose their money and motivation.
1. What a valuable contribution these hard-working individuals are making to society! I mean, someone is willing to pay for their services, ergo it is a net benefit to society. Or so I was led to believe by many of the comments on Universal Basic Income on this site recently.
2. The thought of an army of paid pro-Clinton shills battling it out in various meaningless social media "debates" against an army of paid pro-Sanders shills, and nobody else paying any attention whatsoever to their drivel, is highly amusing to me. Clearly this is the future of political discourse.
I like Bernie himself, and even a lot of his proposals. But you could spend $1 Billion, and not even make a good start on correcting all the misconceptions his supporters are tweeting.
All you need is an ounce of critical thinking. In Canada we had something called "Moral and religious education" in school where we learned mostly about other cultures because preaching to students was not the teacher's job but really the parent's. This was being phased out in favor of sex ed. In the meantime, teachers were given free reign to cover whatever topic they felt was appropriate in regards to ethics and how they come to be defined, etc.
I feel extremely lucky because my particular teacher chose to try and teach us critical thinking, and they chose advertising to demonstrate this. Showing us how advertisers scare people into doing things they might not otherwise do until they feel self conscious, or how marketing can be intentionally deceptive while respecting the letter of the law, or how controlling the message is possible with deep pockets and that others who may be better may not have the same opportunity, how biug players can deny entry to smaller startups, etc.
I wish teaching the consideration of these things was mandatory. So many people lack the benefits of just an ounce of critical thinking.
Can that even make a dent compared to the legions of trolls that provide their services for free?

Did fucking APK just make a complaint about sockpuppets when he himself is a fucking shill sockpuppet beyond shill sockpuppets?
The pure fucking irony.
Hey, whipslash, I thought you were getting rid of this fucktard.
Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.
On the contrary, it does matter. When you vote for Democrats and Republicans, you are voting for Super PACs. Those are the very people who brought you Super PACs. YOUR BI-ANNUAL SUPPORT IS WHAT KEEPS IT LEGAL.
Uncut US is basically a Bernie shill, objecting to Hillary shills. Given that Super PACs exist, I don't see the problem here.
Looks like the Hillary trolls have found this post rather quickly.

I don't really doubt the veracity of the article. But I wonder where these Hillary trolls are posting their astroturf? I sure don't see it on any of my feeds. I get a whole lot of Bernie's supporters trolling me (Presumably for free?) with their Hillary is Satan/Hitler spam than I see attacks on Bernie.
Don't get me wrong, I do plan to vote for the guy, at least in my state's primary. But his "Bros" are really starting to piss me off. And if he doesn't capture the nomination, I certainly won't sit at home and pout with a "I didn't get my way so the country can just BURN. Whaaaaa...) attitude in November like they say they will. Hillary may not be my ideal choice, but she's a damn sight better than Trump or Cruz.
Imagine all the people...
This seems to be another example of the existing legal framework not keeping up with technology advances.
Outside of true campaign finance reform, even under existing laws, if a PAC buys a television ad spot, it has to disclose who paid for the ad.
Seems like a natural extension to this existing framework would be to require all paid-for posts to include a disclaimer that it was done for pay by a PAC.
The PACs would then be subject to audits and subjected to fines if examples were found where posts weren't properly disclaimed.
I'd extend this law to all paid-for postings. Make it $1,000 fine per non-disclaimed post and a lot of astroturf would dry up quickly.
My challenge to you all stands as always: Validly technically prove my points on hosts wrong (you never do & troll me or downmod me instead - you fail in it always, never proving me wrong).

The pseudo-anonymity of discussion forums like Slashdot, Disqus, or any of the other platforms make them fundamentally vulnerable to paid trolling. I usually assume that many of the posts written on hot-button discussions about issues such as politics or global warming are made by paid trolls. There is a percentage of the readership of forums that believes that all of the posts are made by disinterested citizens; that is the market for such paid trolling. Paying posters gives the appearance of legitimacy to the propaganda they put out. If there is a large readership for a particular forum, then paying posters to post is likely to be a relatively inexpensive means of reaching large numbers of readers. Its expense can be reduced by having single posters create posts under different user names, and across different forums. A single poster could create many hundreds of posts per day, reaching tens or hundreds of thousands of readers. I simply don't trust much of what I read on these forums.

Hell, I've been doing it for free.
Bern Bros on the internet are almost all completely full of shit. I'm glad to hear somebody is mounting an organized response.
Attack Watch from the Obama campaign?
Is it trolling to engage someone in debate in a public when what they say is untrue? Or is it trolling because it's Bernie Sander's supporters don't like have their opinion questioned?
Hillaryous.
Politics ain't beanbag. Democrats need to wake up and nominate Bernie. Most of us independents and even some Republicans will vote for Bernie.
Far fewer of us will vote for Hillary the corrupt wanna-be oligarch. Many of us WILL vote for Trump in order to sow disarray and put the elite of both parties on notice. We are mad as hell and not taking it anymore.This isn't political (right vs less right), it's far more fundamental.
Keeping scores of people on payroll to advance your propaganda worked — and continues to work — for Putin (with whom Secretary Clinton has "an interesting" relationship).
No surprise, she is among the first to adopt his methods, and even the more prudent politicians will soon have to do it just to remain competitive. It already happened to TV make-up, robo-callers, and teleprompters...
Maybe, there will be a silver-lining in this for the perpetually-struggling "established" journalists — their having been bought may be harder to conceal/easier to prove than the same for tens and hundreds of anonymous nobodies.

That all this persecution of anonymity — in direct violation of the First Amendment — does not even bother anyone anymore, is the scariest part...

Will they be tied? Or will it be easy to game the system by setting up more senate committees to look into something and get the payments for sitting on that committee? It's not something anyone else can get away with. At least not during the working hours they're supposed to keep for their primary job. Many others DO do extra work, but it usually has to be additional hours too.
The Sanders campaign actively hired people to do the very thing this pro-Clinton Super PAC is now being attacked for. Every campaign does it. There's a reason so many on line 'bernbots' were all using the same well-researched key words and phrases in the web sphere. Let's calm the false outrage.
It means that your ability to find an exception to the generalization does invalidate the generalization.
To you, and every other moron that attempts faulty logic, there is a simple question. If money did not have any impact why do people spend it? It would be a completely irrational action and everyone doing so would be better off purchasing SuperLotto and Scratch offs. A CEO seeing his finance guy writing a fat check to piss away company money would be fired.
In the real world money does matter, and people do things to get money. People pay money to get those things. It's kind of like bartering. You know, "Can I trade you my sandwich for your Apple"? or "I'll show you mine if you show me yours." like stuff. Okay, you were probably humiliated since yours was tiny, but you get the idea.
Snarky humor aside, generalizations are verifiable and factual.
-The wise argue that there are few absolutes, the fool argues that there are no probabilities.
Another reason to add to the plethora of reasons why I will never vote for Hillary Clinton, and struggle to respect anyone who would.
Some one charging money for w hat I am doing for free? I have written many positive notes about HRC, I might have been paid for it! HRC owes me big time.

I just turned into a Bernie supporter. He must become the new official Most Popular Political Wing....strictly so that we can read yet ANOTHER tearful confessional from David Brock about how wrong he was, how deluded by groupthink, and immersed in the cult...but NOW, finally NOW, he sees the light, This Time For Sure.
Man, David Brock changed his political stripes, but then went straight back to the same basic process of supporting something by crapping on the opposition.
Wow. This is supposed to be news?!? This is nothing compared to the big Clinton picture of all he(they) have perpetrated over the years. I encourage everyone to dig up the inconvenient facts surrounding the Clintons.
Perfectly demonstrates how ethically and morally bankrupt their constituents are; on an epic scale, no less.
Fail society. Sad but true.
who was on Hillary's campaigning staff back during Bill Clinton's successful bid at the presidency, let me just say: She will say whatever she needs to get people to back her rise to power, but any promises made can be easily remade if you have enough money. The person in question did recieve favor as a result, but not the favor they were promised for wasting a lot of their own (borrowed from other peoples) money helping the campaign. Another larger wealthy donor came by and got an appointment just like that.
I'm sure lots of the other candidates would do the same, but that provided all the evidence of the kind of character she has and would have as president right there, and that is BEFORE taking into account her time as a congresswoman, her senatorial voting history, etc.
I don't think there is a good candidate this election (short of a vote of no confidence and starting all over with new candidates), but Hillary Clinton doesn't even qualify in this one. Throwing the future prospects of America to the wind, I would personally love to see Trump get in as president (although I wouldn't vote for him!) just because I think it would be an interesting 4-8 years and lots of lols would be had. Plus he's already harmed our international credibility, so what's the harm now?
Funding for trolls! Why post your comments for free, when for just pennies FFT will hook you up with someone who will pay you nickles to express those same thoughts!
Like "mansplaining", "manspreading", "whitesplaining", "cultural appropriation", "death panels" etc.. "bernie bros" are not a thing. It's a marketing ploy used by special interests to manipulate people into a shorthand way of thinking that cuts out rational thought.
I don't deny the brilliance of it, I just checkmark a little box in my brain about someone when they use these types of terms in earnest.

When a person files taxes state how they want their Tax Dollar to be spent..
The feedback mechanism called elections is broken.
Every Person would now have a direct say in the priorities of the People.
When People file their taxes the can submit a document the states their belief to how their Tax Dollar is spent by the federal government. With Personal Privacy maintained, this data is compiled into a pool and publicly published at the end of the tax season. The People of America now have a new input mechanism to the government process. Every year an organized census is taken that
Empower the people using engineering principles. The people want more control over their lives. "goverment" is a process that needs to be controlled by the People. Right now government is controlled by money and elections. So the only feedback The People have are elections.
I Challenge any Presidential Hopeful to answer
Do you think it is a good idea: "when people paid their tax they can suggest where their Tax Dollar is spent?"

What do you guys think Bernie is paying Revolution Messaging for...
For all the whining on this site and others about money in politics and evil super PACs, this year there is a viable way to stick it to the system and force change: Trump.
Trump HAS no super PAC (somebody started one in his name, and he had them stop it)
The big money interests on Wall St and in all the lobbyist buildings around DC are terrified by the guy, and he has been getting his votes from the public at the lowest per-voter cost of any campaign, even Bernie's. Jeb! threw over a hundred million dollars in super PAC money at him, and failed (so much for all those phoney complaints about Citizens United which might be more legitimate if the people complaining had ever been willing to reign-in the spending of labor unions, which are corporations allied to the political left but with a specific set of loopholes...)
Trump is not even one of those hard-right Christian types that spook people on the left, so that's not a justification for not supporting him as a way to destroy the lobbyist empire that BOTH the establishment Republicans and the establishment Democrats depend on and serve.
I'm not personally a fan of the guy, for my own reasons, but I am seriously considering him as a way to do real damage to the huge pool of lobbyists, advisers, experts and special interests in the NYC-DC corridor who tell politicians how to get elected, what policies to have, what messages to read from their teleprompters, which poll-tested, analyzed, and narrowly-defined groups to appeal to with specially-tuned messages. If Trump were to win, he would have a devastating effect upon all those leeches who earn millions every year helping politicians and their financial backers manipulate the public with billion-dollar political campaigns of manipulation; he would prove that there are other ways to get elected - like appealing to the public and championing issues large segments of the public want addressed. Whether you like his positions or not (or can even be sure of where he stands) on any particular issue, he just might be the one person not pre-approved by the elites in DC who could get elected and therefore be the one person who can tear-down part of the machine.
Correct that, you fuckin' Fucks!

Have any of this staff ever hustled, sweat, or bled in labors producing real, useful goods/services? When $ buys "speech" like this, just go ahead and stamp "fascist oligarchy" or something similar across the country and be done with it. The force of "speech" should lie in it's validity/logic/truth, not in $'s ability to shout down, chant mantra over, or exclude the speech of others.

Now the other candidates are going to have to do the same thing. Wasn't hillary promising to stop some of the toxicity and Division? Oh well, I'm sure 500 million scream and shrieking feminists will come out in support of this garbage and give her all the political cover she needs.
See subject: My program LOCKS hosts above & beyond WFP/SFP in Windows - I tried breaking thru in usermode (couldn't). As far as kernelmode rootkits? EASY to get rid of:

FACT: You don't have skills to do a BETTER more well-thought out resource efficient myriad function program that gives users more speed, security, reliability & even anonymity by using what you already have that does MORE for FAR LESS than ANY 1 "so-called 'competitor' of mine using what you already NATIVELY have too no less... apk
