Blog Police Creeps Are George Soros Plants
For at least a month now a crew of three or four screen names here on Free Republic have been used to spam post after post all across the board. They have decided that they are Free Republic's police, they think they speak for the whole board, and have been attempting to drive people off this site. But are they real FReepers? Or are they something else?
It is pretty clear that they are being paid to do this by a George Soros-styled, left wing organization to spam FR, attack posters, and attempt to destroy this board.
If you haven't noticed these attacks (and they're hard to miss) these three or four posters swarm any post they don't like attempting to drive the original thread posters off FR. Additionally, when any other FReeper stands up for the original post these three or four screen names are used to attack those FReepers that dare oppose them. They call their attacks a "blogpimp" attack. Anyone that posts from a blog is targeted for destruction by these "people."
Do these just three or four screen names belong to real FReepers that think they know better than everyone else and imagine that they speak for everyone? Or are they something more nefarious? Are they really, in fact, a left-wing, astroturf effort meant to disrupt Free Republic?
Let's take a look at the methods of these screen names to see that their efforts are a perfect example of leftists methods…
Long-Term Plans
One of the many methods of these infiltrating leftists is to set up a screen name, use it for a while in a way that makes it seem as if the screen name is a normal poster. And then, ultimately, use the screen name for their actual purpose -- disrupting the board. This has happened on many other sites. It is a long-term project that these leftists engage.
Attack Times
The same three or four names pop up at all hours of the day or night. It's as if there is really a whole crew of people constantly monitoring FR for a post they can attack. It is a bit hard to believe that a real FReeper could be online ready to attack at 7AM, Noon, 9AM, 9PM, AND 1AM. But these screen names are used to attack at all hours of the day. It is easy to suspect that these three or four screen names are being used by multiple people in an organized campaign and we know the left has paid for crews that do this all across the Internet. The left posts fake messages on thousands of different websites a day and we here know for a fact that some of these leftists try their hardest to disrupt FR.
A Series of Lies
Like true leftists they employ always changing accusations of why the posts they are attacking is what they claim is a bad post. One minute they are claiming that an original post is "making money" off FReepers. Then when that is proven wrong they claim that the original post is "stealing" content from others and not original material. Then when that is proven wrong they suddenly find that their complaint is that the original post is asking FReepers to click offsite to see more information. Next they begin claiming that FR rules have been violated when they clearly haven't been. It is clear that there is no satisfying them because their complaints change nearly every day. Of course, the reason their complaints are ever changing is because they don't care about the complaints, they care about disrupting FR.
Name Calling, Attacking Others
Another example of the leftist methods of these screen names is abusive attacks, name calling, and belligerent behavior. These attackers have called FReepers vile names (especially "homosexuals") when they are opposed. They swarm any supporter of the original thread they are attacking and also follow them to other entries on FR to attack them there, too. This is typical leftist, thug behavior.
The Goal
One of the things these left-wing infiltrators claim is that they only want bloggers to post an entire post in FR and to stop FR members from clicking to blogs. But the real goal is to drive bloggers off FR in order to stop bloggers from talking to each other and to isolate conservatives apart from each other, stopping coordination and "fellowship," if you will. They want bloggers cut out of the major influence they've gained in this New Media era.
Yes, there is a whole lot going on here that should outrage an honest FReeper.
-They claim that FR rules are being broken. This is obviously a lie because the moderators have made no attempt to stop the sort of posts that these fake screen names are being used to attack. If the mods have made no attempt to stop these original posts, it is obvious no rules are being broken.
-These fake screen names have been used off FR, too. For instance one of the fake screen names was used to attack me and name call in the comments of my own YouTube channel. I had to delete the vile comments attributed to this screen name. So it is clear that these names are being used to attack other sites, too.
-These names have been used to attack posts put in the FR blog section. Yes, paradoxically this organized attack against posts from blogs is going on IN THE FR BLOG SECTION! Clearly they don't care about truth or honesty. Attacking postings from blogs in the very section in which they are supposed to be posted is illogical, but it is a good way to disrupt the board.
-Even when they are directly told by multiple FReepers that their actions are not wanted they then step up the attacks by creating oversized images and posing dozens of times in a thread.
-Also as they've been told by dozens of FReepers that their actions are not wanted and even as their complaints have been ignored by the mods they continue day in and day out to initiate these attacks. Clearly this is a whole program as any normal poster would have tired of this campaign after a month of their complaints being ignored by the mods. Who would put so much efort and time into such an organized attack without being paid?
In the end it is obviously all a left-wing , paid for campaign because of the persistence. After all, a normal, real poster if he didn't like a particular sort of thread would simply not click on them and read them. A normal person would avoid such a thread. But these fake screen names swarm every post they claim not to like, they do so dozens of times a day, they do so all together, and they do so multiple times on every post. THAT is an organized campaign, not just an honest poster miffed at another FReeper for posting something e doesn't like.
One guy obsessing about an issue is one thing. We all see one guy here and there that does this. But a whole crew of such obsessors? Hardly seems real, does it? No, it all smacks of an organized, left-wing, paid-for campaign.
The solution? Well, obviously ignoring them has been successful. After all, this paid-for campaign has resulted in no actions by the mods in favor of the campaigner's goal (that would be the elimination of many FReepers from the site). But the annoyance they represent is still disrupting every thread upon which they appear. The only other soution is to complain to the mods and report these guys, I suppose.
In any case, what ever becomes of this obviously Soros paid-for campaign, I thought it was something we should all be aware of.
Lastly, I'll use my own posts that these leftists have been attacking as an example. I have been a FReeper for five years and posting my original content every single day for almost that whole time. I have been posting the same stuff for five years and never once gotten a complaint until this last month or so. Only over the last month I've been attacked by these fake FReepers all of a sudden and all at once? As I said, this is an organized effort. NOT honest FReepers.
(I will not name the fake screen names in this post. They will reveal themselves in a few minutes after this is posted, so I won't have to name names here. They'll do it themselves, I'm sure.)
He pays in whatever currency he is shorting that week.
Thanks. I'm making a note of that. Are they also the only ones who do not ask Allegra what kind of socks she is wearing?
You know....Lab Op is an anagram for Pablo.
College students are known liberals and activists.
College students spend time in computer labs.
And, computer labs are a location from which just such an “Op”eration could be coordinated.
Gotta go before the black helicopters find me.
He does tend to be a bit extravagant.

Yet they behave exactly as you describe...
Perhaps your nemesis, Soros, pays them to drown out any objection to the candidate that he wants us to nominate, knowing that she won't win...My God he is one clever bastard!
Ssshhhhhh....
If our secret gets out, George won't give us our paychecks.
You should get direct deposit.
He'll even send a payment notification for every blogpimp that's busted.
It's cool, nice to get GOOD news in the old in-box.
I get mine in Iraqi dinar.
Oh, wait...damn...
I wasn't supposed to tell anybody about that.
Maybe we can post an excerpt of it on his blog.
Still can't grasp that there are multiple FReepers who dislike your blogpimping? So childish....
Just as I thought all the Soros plants are coming out in force for this one. I knew they wouldn’t be able to resist it.
Exactly!! And they're also the ones who at the mention of Maureen Dowd, fail to post a picture of Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Blogpimps are ONE sort of poster.
Name another.
Nobody on FR is going to steal and sell your material; it's just that people don't like going to ad-infested, bloatware blog sites if it can be avoided.
It’s that excerpting of their own material, then linking their own blog, that annoys me, also.
This is a step up, since the entire vanity was posted instead of excerpted & linked.
Have to admit that is an improvement.
Maybe people should excerpt their replies to him, and link to the rest of it on another site or a new thread.
There’s one over my house, right now.
Did anyone ever figure out what eschoir’s deal was? Was he working for someone, or just having fun?
Apparently 2001 was a good year for SpookyDude to decide to set-up an attack on FreeRepublic to be launched 9 years later. Wow, that IS spooky.
Ah, so I signed up in 1998 and made over 60,000 posts to hide my true identity as a Soros plant.
You need to spend less time blogging and more time away from your computer. Maybe you can try a few episodes of Dr. Phil. Or vodka.
