Russia-Linked Twitter Accounts 'Tried To Divide UK' After Terrorist Attacks (theguardian.com)

AmiMoJo shares a report from The Guardian: Fake social media accounts linked to Russia were used to influence and interfere with public debate in the aftermath of four terrorist attacks in the UK this year, researchers have found. At least 47 Russian Twitter accounts posted material after attacks at Westminster Bridge, Manchester Arena, London Bridge and Finsbury Park, according to researchers at the Cardiff University Crime and Security Research Institute (CSRI). Of the 47 accounts, eight were especially active, posting at least 475 tweets about the four attacks, which were reposted more than 153,000 times. The accounts intervened on both sides of polarized debates to ramp up the level of discord online, the research found.

Religion has no need to debate

[AHuxley]

Faith is not open for debate. They are building their forces of occupation and conquest.
A religion of war has a series of commands for its followers.
A book of war to teach strategy and tactics to its many followers.
An open door policy to converts.
No changes to the faith. No reformation.
No way to escape the faith. A faith with an internal way of dealing with any attempts at desertion.
Its own law and courts that are not open to debate.
The places of worship are a cover for barracks in a nation been invaded.
Its political and religious leaders push propaganda.

People of faith don't debate. They invade and conquer. Move onto the next nation.

Please stop posting Guardian propaganda here.

I'm sick of this ridiculous, endless "THE RUSSIANS DID IT" stuff. The evidence is normally lacking or asinine. The Guardian and particular outlets have an ongoing boogeyman with this Russian stuff, which has reached a point to have become absurd.

"WHITE MALE RUSSIANS DID IT"
Etc

We're over it. You've cried wolf, stupidly, one too many times and now, even if you're right, we're probably not going to listen anymore.
