Koch Brothers Training Internet Trolls

[Star Man]

Dear Fellow Citizens,

Here is the URL for a short video showing how a Koch Brothers-sponsored organization trains Internet Tolls. URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=tGB8Uuffi4M

The video is called "Training Tea Party Activists in Guerrilla Internet Tactics." I never knew that the trolls who dominate so much of the discussion on web sites -- we've had a few here on WaccoBB -- were actually trained. Of course, many may just be copying the tactics of some who were trained. This is how the 22% of citizens who identify as right-wing end up dominating the political discourse. It really is very closely related to the way that Al Qaeda and the Taliban, a small fraction of the Middle East population, end up dominating politics there.

Excellent ! - Thank you for posting this ....

I am well aware of internet trolls and their attempts to pollute revealing internet content and influence honest discussion ... I think that I discuss this in my ongoing thread about organized criminal harassment, but if I don't then I should, because it happens all of the time ...

We need to realize that the internet is an easy game for those who desire to control public knowledge and opinion ... you might find this article interesting ... it was posted on many organized stalking websites and forums ...

Of course, this writing came from the internet, so validity and sources will have to be verified ... I take these writings as "opinions of interest" which are stimulating and provoke further research ....

bottom line, from my own research, ... everything that you write on the internet is public, even if you are using a psuedo-name ... IP addresses can be traced ... you are not anonymous ... that shouldn't keep one from expressing oneself, this is vitally important and the internet is a good tool for that ... just realize that your words are not private ...

also, expect "disinformation" that is meant to sway public opinion according to hidden agendas ...
