... and the media now have their narrative to take people's minds off this terror attack so that nothing need change. Never mind that at least two people were killed in a horrific manner in the centre of our capital city, isn't it BRILLIANT that a man, a Polish immigrant no less, used a narwhal tusk to fight him off. LOL!

Isn't it sad that all I've seen reported is the Narwhal Pole, nothing else. Not even that anyone died.

Actually i think i saw a fake JC twitter screencap condoning the police taking out the terrorist.

But otherwise thats it. Narwhal tusk lolfactor and fake 'terrorist loving' JC quote.

Last night we had a 7-way TV debate between the leaders of the seven main political parties in the UK. I say leaders, but the leaders of the two biggest parties were too cowardly to turn up. That left Swinocchio, Nicola Sturgeon (Scots Nationalists) and the guy from Plaid Cymru (Welsh Nationalists) to grandstand about how their plans for Brexit i.e. ignore the votes of 17.4 million people, would bring the country together, and how terrible Donald Trump was. Only Nigel Farage was speaking any sense imo, so of course everyone started shouting at him rather than engaging in proper debate. The state of UK politics is just so darn depressing.

Oh well, President Trump visiting the UK this week for the NATO conference, which will keep things interesting at least.

My state(WA-US) is currently trying to get a voter-approved referendum(i976) thrown out in court.

Allowing it to take effect would derail([You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]) other voter-approved projects, but the voters did vote for it.

Brexit means Brexit?

Scotland voted against independence from UK (as independence from UK would mean Scotland would have to reapply to be an EU member and Scots want to be in EU). UK (well, England really, but its more populous than the other nations) voted against staying in the EU.

Basically Scotland voted twice to stay in the EU but it is getting dragged put anyway.

Seems like the Scots and Democracy are natural enemies groundskeeperwilly.jpg

Suspected Campaign from Russia on Reddit

Quote:
We were recently made aware of a post on Reddit that included leaked documents from the UK. We investigated this account and the accounts connected to it, and today we believe this was part of a campaign that has been reported as originating from Russia.

Earlier this year Facebook discovered a Russian campaign on its platform, which was further analyzed by the Atlantic Council and dubbed “Secondary Infektion.” Suspect accounts on Reddit were recently reported to us, along with indicators from law enforcement, and we were able to confirm that they did indeed show a pattern of coordination. We were then able to use these accounts to identify additional suspect accounts that were part of the campaign on Reddit. This group provides us with important attribution for the recent posting of the leaked UK documents, as well as insights into how adversaries are adapting their tactics.

In late October, an account u/gregoratior posted the leaked documents and later reposted by an additional account u/ostermaxnn. Additionally, we were able to find a pocket of accounts participating in vote manipulation on the original post. All of these accounts have the same shared pattern as the original Secondary Infektion group detected, causing us to believe that this was indeed tied to the original group.

Outside of the post by u/gregoratior, none of these accounts or posts received much attention on the platform, and many of the posts were removed either by moderators or as part of normal content manipulation operations. The accounts posted in different regional subreddits, and in several different languages.

Karma distribution:

0 or less: 42
1 - 9: 13
10 or greater: 6
Max Karma: 48
As a result of this investigation, we are banning 1 subreddit and 61 accounts under our policies against vote manipulation and misuse of the platform. As we have done with previous influence operations, we will also preserve these accounts for a time, so that researchers and the public can scrutinize them to see for themselves how these accounts operated.
Russia is that shitbird kid that used to get between you and your best friend by starting fights with rumors/lies.

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Are you making up some more things again without any sort of evidence? Going to post those law scholars that said Trump shouldn't be impeached?
