Kremlin-Connected ‘Troll Farm’ Organized Facebook Event To Protest Donald Trump
The Federalist ^ | 10/31/2017 | Bre Payton

Posted on 10/31/2017 2:36:34 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

Days after Donald Trump won the presidential election in November 2016, thousands flocked to the streets of New York City to demonstrate against the president elect in a protest organized by a Kremlin-connected Facebook page called BlackMattersUS, The Hill reports. Between 5,000 and 10,000 people attended the protest organized by the Facebook page, which, according to an archived screen grab, had more than 99,000 likes.

“Join us in the streets! Stop Trump and his bigoted agenda!” the Facebook event page reads for the protest, which was called “Trump is NOT my President. March against Trump.” “Divided is the reason we just fell,” it reads. “We must unite despite our differences to stop HATE from ruling the land.”

BlackMattersUS hosted another event page to protest the Electoral College, called “One Person One Vote One March” to question the legitimacy of America’s democratic system.
 
As it turns out, BlackMattersUS is linked to Internet Research Agency (IRA), a so-called “troll farm” with connections to the Russian Kremlin that’s purchased 3,000 political ads and has been identified as operating 470 now-deleted Facebook accounts to push agitprop and sow discord among Americans, The Hill reported. IRA also used an Instagram account to push anti-Dakota-pipeline propaganda under the username @Native_Americans_United, The Daily Caller reported.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can't thank you enough for being on your "Trump Bigly and MAGA list"...

Things have come to such a pass these days in the media and even on FR that I truly don't know if you are being serious or sarcastic. If you are unhappy with an occasional ping, just drop me a freepmail. Otherwise, you're on because you posted something supportive about Trump during the campaign season that caught my notice. I ping once a month or so at present. (During the campaign it was 2x or 3x per day!)

Sorry for any confusion. I'm as serious as a heart attack.

DO NOT REMOVE ME FROM ANY LIST YOU HAVE ME ON.

Thanks again.

“...they have invaded & taken over the educational systems throughout the Western world.”

Exactly.

And Wm Ayers, domestic terrorist and a BBF of Obamas has been on the forefront of destroying children's minds for decades

Take a look

“Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, kill your parents, that's where it's really at.”

At the end of Ayers Fugitive Days he writes that he is “Guilty as hell, free as a bird—it’s a great country.”

Kill all the rich people

Yet his family was rich. So did that mean he hated his family? I'm sure he rejected anything his father tried to give him. /sarcasm

Ayers grew up in a wealthy home as the son of Thomas G. Ayers, former Chairman and CEO of Commonwealth Edison. He lived in Glen Ellyn, a suburb of Chicago. Ayers attended public schools and received a bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Michigan in 1968. At age 21, Ayers became director of the Children's Community, a small school in a basement that did not have grades, report cards, and had children address teachers by their first names. It was part of a "free school movement."
