Fake US government documents that circulated on the internet in recent months came from a Russia-connected disinformation group, researchers say

Social media companies still often find it difficult to attribute influence operations on their sites to particular intelligence agencies, and don't often get that information from the U.S. government.

For much of the Cold War, the Soviet Union regularly seeded forged or falsified documents into small, friendly news outlets, watching most go ignored.

“Anyone who's ever had a social media account will appreciate why: The hardest thing is to attract your first follower,” he said. “Secondary Infektion used a new account for almost everything it ever posted, so it was always trying to attract the first follower. That's not a high-impact strategy.” "I suspect they worked on the principle that if you haven't got an actual leak, make one up and see if anyone falls for it," Nimmo said.

A Russian connected group called ADAM Schiff? AdamSchiff RepAdamSchiff

Good thing the U.S. would never interfere in politics or anything in other countries. We should also make sure no one has nukes since only a maniac would ever nuke a country with civilians.

Thank goodness they were able to stop the negitive machine in motion. And slow down Congress and Satan from destroying the country any further. Horrible horrible people do very bad shit to others.

Russia sucks!

Where are your FBI and CIA? Why are they inactive? A wounded beast is doubly dangerous.

I swear American media outlets f*cking obsessed with Russia, China and Iran. Poisoning the American sheep with propaganda and nonsense. Why do they want Americans to hate these people so badly ? Continuing their demonization to desensitize the public for war in the future.😒

You mean Facebook ads? Yes, we heard about them. But now you want mail-in voting. Well, I'm sure nothing could go wrong with that.

At this point I don’t know who to believe. This claim could be fake.

That’s one thing Trump shares with Putin, the love for all things fake..as they determine..

Our media does this daily through print and broadcast.

Russia to try antiviral drug Favipiravir as coronavirus treatment after 'excellent results' in ChinaThe announcement comes as Japan, where Favipiravir is produced, said it will provide the drug to some countries for free. Gilead I'm guessing. Donald Rumsfeld was chair. This is big pharma at it's best. Not consistent results in clinical trials... The sooner these drugs are matched with some good pharmacogenomics the better.
