Well, there IS one person on this board that thinks I'm a Russian troll, or paid activist, after all.
It just goes to show FR does not discriminate.
Idiots are allowed to post too.

Ultimately it does not matter whether or not you are one of the trolls Putin’s Russian intelligence services pays to troll American forums in order to sow disunion like Hitler’s World War Two era NAZI fifth columnists did and Stalin’s Communist propagandists did. What matters is that you do employ their brand of false propaganda, disinformation, and false logic in what is often the most slavish adherence to the official propaganda and false information coming from the current Putin regime and sometimes the former Bolshevik regime. Given the past history of Russia’s murders and assassinations of Russian whistleblowers, dissidents, and defectors along with Russia’s sad record of disinformation about its invasions and conquests of its neighbors territories, anyone who attempts to serve as an apologist for those acts is naturally going to have their credibility dismissed regardless of whomever they may be.
The problem faced by the readers of FreeRepublic is that they have no means of knowing how many or which of the posters are in fact paid Russian trolls conducting a campaign of disinformation on FreeRepublic to obfuscate the truth and disarm criticism of Russia’s regime and that regime’s actions. The best the readers of FreeRepublic can do is remind each other from time to time that such paid trolls do exist and that voluntary domestic supporters of Communism and/or Putin’s totalitarian regime do parrot those same programs of Russian disinformation. They all play a role in Russia’s intelligence operations against the United States and the other nations targeted by Russia’s intelligence services as described by Lt. Gen. Ion Pacepa, the highest ranked officer from the Soviet bloc to have ever defected to the Western allies.
Using ad hominem comments, like “idiot”, is hardly going to dissuade any of us from seeing your links to Russia’s disinformation campaigns. On the contrary, such actions on your part onlt highlight your desire to avoid closer scrutiny of your comments, your accusations, and your motives.
