An Iranian propaganda campaign created fake Bernie Sanders supporters online, Facebook disclosed Tuesday.

The cybersecurity company FireEye, which first alerted Facebook to the influence campaign months ago, wrote in a separate posting on its site that it had traced the campaign—including posts from supposed “American liberals supportive of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders”—to Iran through email addresses and phone numbers associated with the “inauthentic” accounts.

War, War, War is the real perpetual mantra.

Maybe this company can find out who is sending me all these emails with offers of computer services, about a lottery winner in Nigeria, and a condo I “own” in Florida.
Are the Iranian hackers known as “The Ayatollah’s Army” or “Gucciffer”?
To: BeadCounter
Hell, the Iranians probably hate America less. Commies for $1000, please.

Thanks BeadCounter. But first Facebook let the faked ad run for a while, and got paid in that Obama-Kerry money.

Sure.. “posing” as Bernie supporters.
I’m not It person but don’t these things happen all year long? These last few announcements sound too coordinated.

So has Bernie replaced Soros as the most popular Jew in Iran?
