They unveiled some of the supposed Russian propaganda in congress today
It turned out they were literally using 4chan memes right off /pol/ that were very obviously crafted by normal 4chan users
They're actually trying to claim that's Russian in origin. Good lord.



Its like one of those early 2000's fox news fearmongering hit pieces on "anonymous" being a collection of shadowy hackers who will make your car explode or whatever
Except this is the actual serious political controversy by sitting members of congress. Jesus christ
I'm starting to really believe the possibility that the pissgate story really did originate as a greentext fanfic.

Rest of the evidence in the gallery.

hey look, an entire know your meme page on Russian propaganda:

I'm honestly curious if any of my own personal handiwork wound up inside the evidence gallery of supposed Russian disinfo.
I am awake all night long to boot

I gotta say, that if stuff like this Russian bot crap, convinces anyone to vote one way or the other, then maybe they shouldn't be voting.

Well look who's advocating for voter suppression now.

No, I'm not advocating anything. I just feel that folks who don't have a mind of their own, or that don't bother to check their information, maybe shouldn't be voting.
It's just an observation. I'm not on a political mission.

I don't think it DID influence anyone. I'd like to think that folks can see through this, or at least bother to check.

4chan dug up the proof very quickly:
/e one second I shouldn't direct link even to archive, give me a minute to make it into an image
That exact image is halfway down the thread or so.



That's their proof of Russian meddling, its literally 4chan trolling.

"There's no way possible that the same people who actively spread disinfo in conservative Twitter feeds/FB pages would actually go to /pol/ to do the same!"

Seriously, you can handwave everything away by claiming "it's just people trolling".
