Know your enemy. Storm-1516. Harris hurt somebody in an accident and Walz sexually abused a student. [View all]

Russian disinformation operations have a new platform.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm-1516

An old and very important friend in my life has fallen for this Russian produced crap.
On a text he asked about the Electoral College and I told him it allows the loser to
be declared the winner, it gives a voter in Iowa a much more powerful vote than a
voter in California as per POTUS, it is a legacy from slavery, and should be gotten
rid of because we haven’t had a republican “win” the Presidency since 1988 with
the majority of the votes

He answered back with a Russian produced troll bait post that said “Want to get rid
of the electoral college? Vote for Jill Stein.” I fell for Russian produced troll bait and
got upset with my friend, and that is the goal behind these Russian produced on attacks
which is to divide and upset us.

I think what he posted was a Storm-1516 product. Putin is at war on America and
disinformation, misinformation, and propaganda are an important part of his arsenal.
Storm-1516’s goal is in line with Putin’s installation of Trump in the White House and
that is to weaken us by dividing us.
