COINTELPRO Techniques for dilution, misdirection and control of a internet forum.
There are several techniques for the control and manipulation of a internet forum no matter what, or who is on it. We will go over each technique and demonstrate that only a minimal number of operatives can be used to eventually and effectively gain a control of a 'uncontrolled forum.'

I think speculated is a better word than claimed. I saw a whole bunch of weird posts on all sides of Romney and LDS. It got weird. Then silent. Just saying the whole thing was strange.
No you didn’t see “a whole bunch of weird posts on all sides of Romney and LDS. It got weird. Then silent.”, what you saw was Mormon trolls and pro-Romney troll being weird, dishonest, and then mostly silent when trolling lost it’s usefulness, the conservatives and Christians haven’t gone silent and are still here, still posting.
Romney is more unpopular than ever, and Mormonism is still being exposed, just look at the threads running right this moment.
I saw what I saw.
Don’t tell me what I saw and didn’t see.
If you think for a second that this site isn’t crawling, writhing with political operatives on all sides during the Republican primaries you are a fool.
I can tell you what was actually posted, and the reality, you looking at the same thing as the rest of us and claiming to see something that didn’t happen, doesn’t make it real, that is why I can tell you that the only people gone, or whose accounts went dormant, are the Romney trolls and Mormon trolls, look at the current Romney and Mormon threads, they are still going on.
This site was obviously crawling with Romney and Mormon trolls, but not with Christian and conservative “trolls”.
Who said anything about Christian trails? That is the root of your persistence. You thought i gored your sacred cow.
Trolls. Autocorrect strikes again.
Thanks for the post.
Thanks for denigrating the Christians at FR by mocking them
as a “sacred cow”, but as you continue attacking freerepublic for challenging Mormonism, it is the Christians who are doing the challenging, they and the Romney critics are who you are dishonestly trying to claim were trolling.
You are just making this stuff up.
“”No you didn’t see “a whole bunch of weird posts on all sides of Romney and LDS. It got weird.

Not denigrating Christians. Its almost humorous for you to say that. I have been opposing the Moroni worshipers vigorously particularly when they try to sell their flim flam as a branch of mainstream Christianity. I was speculating about how many political operatives may have been involved on all sides of the issue. That’s when you acted hurt. It is very like when folks worship military, or law enforcement. Folks who have never lived on an Army Post don’t want to accept that big drug and petty crimes are a problem among military personnel. Kind of like a sports homer who won’t believe anything bad about his team or favorite player.
Your claim is silly and evidently baseless since you haven’t offered any proof for your claims.
There weren’t many “operatives” or “trolls” here operating against Romney or Mormonism, the same old conservatives are still here, still posting, still challenging Mormonism and Romney, the only “operatives or “trolls” were the now banned trolls, or those who started new accounts, which are now dormant, who were not interested in FR, or conservatism, but were here only to promote Mormonism, and/or Romney.
Your repeating your silly and inaccurate claim over and over, isn’t the proof, or even evidence, that you need to show for such silliness.
Just go to the current religion page or current threads involving Romney, and look around, then go look at the old threads, and you will see that you are wrong.
I keep saying “speculate”. You convert that to “claim”. These are two different things. You have made this conversion over and over in this thread.
Who are you trolling for? Twisting words and taking intractable stands are in the very handbook we are discussing.
"I saw a whole bunch of weird posts on all sides of Romney and LDS. It got weird. Then silent. Just saying the whole thing was strange."
"If you think for a second that this site isn’t crawling, writhing with political operatives on all sides during the Republican primaries you are a fool."
No, that didn't happen, and that is not speculating.
Thats your opinion. It may be right it may not be right. You are entitled to it.
You made a silly claim, and you refuse to even try to prove it correct, instead, you just keep repeating yourself.
You are making me tired. Speculation is not a claim. I was wondering if anybody could chime in and provide insight. Instead you pick a fight. What fun. Arguing with strangers on the internet.
My original response to your claim was posts 53 and 54, they were accurate and a reasonable correction to your claim.
What were the weird posts that were against Governor Romney, or Mormonism, that you think may have been from operatives or trolls?
Maybe I can clear it up for you.
you are an angry dude
No, and personal attacks aren’t the evidence to support your claim either.
I offered to clear up the confusion for you in post 77, but you have to have to be able to show something, about what you are claiming.
The logic is inescapable! And my OCD compels me to use halfway decent grammer. Double Dang!
