Interesting observations on how this entire Catholic schoolboy hysteria got started.

A brazillion troll farm is far cheaper than operate than one in a “ Fight for $15” City.

Since the beginning of this year, the account had tweeted on average 130 times a day and had more than 40,000 followers.

Errr - that's A LOT. That's somebody(s) on the clock.

Russia posts for both sides. Goal,is destabilize and create chaos.

Talia is Russian version of Natalie.

The name Talia is a girl’s name of Hebrew origin meaning “gentle dew from heaven; by the water”. Talia is ranked #312 on our popularity charts and is often added to lists like Mystical Names and discussed in our forums with posts like “Girls Drop 2 Add 1 pick a fave that can’t be dropped”.

From the experts:

In tandem with the longer-form Natalia, this pretty Russian-flavored girls’ name has been rising in the popularity charts in the US.

In the mythology of one ancient sect, Talia was one of ten angels who attended the sun on its daily course. A prominent bearer is Talia Shire, doomed to go down in cinema history as Rocky’s mousy girlfriend Adrienne, along with actress Talia Balsam, aka the former Mrs. George Clooney. Most recently, Talia was attributed to YouTube star Talia Joy Castellano, a young girl battling cancer who passed away at age 13.

Speaking about the nature of fake accounts on social media, McKew told CNN Business, "This is the new landscape: where bad actors monitor us and appropriate content that fits their needs. They know how to get it where they need to go so it amplifies naturally. And at this point, we are all conditioned to react and engage or deny in specific ways. And we all did."

That "both sides" crap don't fly no more. You don't get to blame the deplorables for this. The lefties need to own this one. They reacted with their normal virtue signaling hatred without any clue what they were reacting to. The Catholic kids did nothing wrong: They don't need to apologize or engage in circumspection, period.

ATT hopes to acquire this nefarious operation from Time Warner if it hasn’t already.

They're STILL reacting on Twitter.

Some of the sane, adult Lefties pulled back from the Nihilistic Abyss, but most of the rest of them have jammed the pedal to the floor, like Thelma and Louise.

No. Read carefully. Russians:

McDonagh said he found the account suspicious due to its “high follower count, highly polarized and yet inconsistent political messaging, the unusually high rate of tweets, and the use of someone else’s image in the profile photo.”
Molly McKew, an information warfare researcher who saw the tweet and shared it herself on Saturday, said she later realized that a network of anonymous accounts were working to amplify the video.

It is multiple people using that account and posting from it, not just one person.

I tend to agree but would suggest it’s probably no more than three or four. Probably a couple of folks....hired up as political aggrevater-types. Based on what folks have suggested...they are native-English speakers/writers. If you got the NSA guys on this, I think you could narrow down the path and found that some server in Brazil simply takes a feed from a facility in the US.

Yes, and using “foreign” server(s) is a standard technique making tracing more complex and for remaining anonymous.
