Russian Troll Den Uncovered!!!

A Russian government paid 'Troll Den' has been exposed in St. Petersburg. Over 400 Trolls were paid to surf the internet and post Pro-Russian propaganda. They would sandwich in these posts with innocent looking silly posts to attempt a cover of 'normalcy'.

Russian article

Each piece must have at least 700 words, possess rampant SEO keywords in the headline and body of the text and tag on either a relevant image or YouTube video. If the post doesn’t have one of these things, it will be taken offline.

So the next time you see that long winded Pro-Russian post with all the buzz words and links...think $$$$.

I wonder how many ATS posters have IP addresses that lead to St.Petersburg???

Well if they are paid shills i would hope they are paying enough to get a vpn.

That would draw too many red flags on its own. What do they have to hide? If it's all lies anyway. It's not like the cia and UK didn't announce there recruiting cyber warriors.

Hey! Didn't I see one on ATS this afternoon?
It had all of the gong points.

Probably not nearly as many that have IP addresses that lead to an American equivalent. We have plenty of "think tanks" here in the States that do nothing but spawn partisan talking points and fund shills to disseminate it across the Web and media.

They all do, no doubt.

I wonder how many there are in America? Just as many if not more I'm sure. People will do anything for money, even lie and spread propaganda without ever making a peep about it.

Without a doubt indeed sir !!

time to call in....

This isn't unique.

For the US or any other Nation for that matter, it's business as usual.

But what about those that just don't buy everything they are being sold about Russia? Label them because they're either with us or against us?

Listen! You know the USA is an incredible country! Everyone wants to live here for a reason. There are great jobs everywhere and millionaires are born everyday! Cites are full of fun and sun, clean water is plentiful. The government listens to the people and taxes are low. You can complain as much as you like without anyone caring.

The multicultural diversity is something extra special about America the beautiful! Have I got to 700 words yet? Latinos are hot and spicy...both the men and women. African Americans are even more interesting. Just hang around some corner stores and get to know a few. Yes America is a wonderful place to live. If you can sneak across the boarder you get to stay as long as you like...even get healthcare in some states! What the Hell are you waiting for? Buy your ticket to the land of opportunity toady!

The "troll den" in the OP is geared towards a 'pro-Kremlin' stance, but those in the USA are more about the partisan politics in this country rather than a singular 'pro-USA' stance - pro-American Corporatism, or pro-Conservative/pro-Liberal, pro-NRA, etc. However, I did see some links to such "troll dens" that are said to have been created by the US military to sway public opinion on topics favorable to the US defense industry:

State Department bureau spent $630,000 on Facebook 'likes'

Revealed: US spy operation that manipulates social media

Military's 'sock puppet' software creates fake online identities to spread pro-American propaganda

Nice resume piece, start forwarding it to all the shill agencies.

Then pm me so I can join too.

Not bad. But you have the wrong track on this. you need to attack, disparage and marginalize the opposition. Facts are a bonus but not mandatory......
