Russia's evil deeds revealed in interview with Caroline Orr




This interview is really long and gives you a deep insight into what the hell happened. I learned so much and have a much better understanding of the story behind Trump's Russia conspiracy!

Clipped parts from the story....

Enter the robots

Orr: I stayed up oftentimes into the early morning hours, and started to notice at 2, 3 and 4 a.m., patterns of Twitter activity that were just weird.

I had a baseline understanding of what normal activity looked like, what automated or bot activity looks like, and what heavy traffic looks like. Hashtags appearing out of nowhere at three in the morning are not normal unless there’s breaking news.

The activity pattern was very abnormal. Beyond the time factor of being 3 a.m., these tweets were being pushed in waves. You’d see these big spikes in activity where a bunch of tweets will come out all at once and then it drops back off.

This pattern was not organic — it was not people sitting at their computers deciding all at once to tweet about media lies. A couple of the tweets were geo-tagged to Macedonia, which was known to host these fake news farms.

End of my clips......there is a lot more including stories of how Pizzagate happened and so much more. It is well worth your reading time.

Again here's the link straight to the story at National Observer.
