It Appears There Are Hijacked Freeper Accounts
3/1/15

Posted on 03/01/2015 2:25:18 AM PST by Enlightened1

I found three Freepers (in the last 24 hours that prior to a few days ago (10 days at the most) have not been active in a very long time...... At least a year and a half or more. The other two Freepers have no posts for 7 years and 3 years.

Now prior to that time gap all would have maybe 1 or 2 posts a years several years ago. Yet in the last few days they are posting a lot. I find that very odd?

I think these accounts have been hijacked by the opposition?

For those that are wondering what is an Internet Troll? Trolls, post a deliberately provocative message or messages to a newsgroup or message boards/threads with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument. This is done primarily by opposition groups.

I'm sure someone could figure out WHO is doing this. We just need to do a trace route on the account to see where it's coming from.

Here are some articles about it for anyone that does not know about this. Watch your 6 Freepers.

The trolls always start around this time. The Viking Kities are always vigilant!

So does this mean that all of our accounts have been compromised?

If anyone notices any posts being made through my account that are complete non-sequiturs, totally obnoxious, obscene, scurrilous vitriol or otherwise unbecoming behavior, then there is a great probability that it’s really me.

Or not.

Yes but for a different reason. Mitch has hijacked any hope he will change and cease to be Dingy’s witch. All Fr accounts remain compromised.

I’m not going to list anyone.

Just make a list and notify the Administrator to check it out.

Modern trolls - the dangerous kind - don’t just post to get a reaction. They post to change the subject, to discourage people, and to incite violence. Or just embarrass us about being conservative.

A dem paid shill isn’t going to unite us like Ash did - they’re here to discourage and undermine us.
