It Appears There Are Hijacked Freeper Accounts
3/1/15

Posted on 03/01/2015 2:25:18 AM PST by Enlightened1

I found three Freepers (in the last 24 hours that prior to a few days ago (10 days at the most) have not been active in a very long time...... At least a year and a half or more. The other two Freepers have no posts for 7 years and 3 years.

Now prior to that time gap all would have maybe 1 or 2 posts a years several years ago. Yet in the last few days they are posting a lot. I find that very odd?

I think these accounts have been hijacked by the opposition?

For those that are wondering what is an Internet Troll? Trolls, post a deliberately provocative message or messages to a newsgroup or message boards/threads with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument. This is done primarily by opposition groups.

I'm sure someone could figure out WHO is doing this. We just need to do a trace route on the account to see where it's coming from.

Here are some articles about it for anyone that does not know about this. Watch your 6 Freepers.

“Perhaps these people are delighted that Free Republic finally allows criticism of the G.O.P.”

Very true! I was banned on an illegal immigration thread 10 or 12 years back for commenting about “Jorge Bush”.

He couldn’t master the search even after you tried to clue him in. Probably didn’t even try.
