And so in the opposite extreme are those who believe all the shooting massacres are fake even up to identifying “survivor actors” at multiple shootings and when the shooter is alone, there are supposedly second shooters. So, I suggest reading the news and before making a judgment, pretend you live in Russia and learn to discern. Plus wait a week or two and see if the truth comes out. Or, as in the case of the Russia investigation, years.

Intrigued, Prier began pouring over tweets


I think I see the problem. Never base

From Anonymous:

“Article about Russian online bots in social media inventing hoaxes, sowing distrust, and purposely inflaming both sides of an issue with intent to create confusion and excitement.

“The alleged Russian and Islamic State-sponsored psychological operations that targeted social media users in the U.S., including those related to Mizzou protests, are detailed by Prier in Strategic Studies Quarterly’s most recent issue, which flew under the radar until this week.”

“Now director of operations for the 20th Bomb Squadron, Prier had studied the social media habits of the Islamic State as part of his Air Force fellowship at Georgetown University.”

“In October 2016 he (Prier)“had to submit a topic” for his thesis, and thought his unofficial research into the disinformation campaign would be a good project, Prier told The Fix.

“That’s when his Air Force fellowship work of identifying the culprits began in earnest.”

“Priors thesis title:

“How Russia ‘hijacked’ the 2015 University of Missouri racial protests to spread misinformation” by The College Fix on Scribd.

“The thesis and an analysis of disinformation, or a handbook on how its done; article is located at:

Thanks, anonymous.

“The cops are marching with the KKK!” wrote @FanFan1911. “They beat up my little brother! Watch out!” The tweet included a photo of bruised black child, ostensibly the Twitter user’s younger brother.

The only problem, Prier quickly determined: The photo had been lifted from 2013 news reports of alleged police brutality in Ohio.
