Dear MAGA: 20190606 Open Topic

This THINKING ABOUT TIGHTENING THINGS DOWN THURSDAY open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA world.

You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.

Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.

Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. They tried to FORCE fake Orwellian civility on us. In response, we CHOOSE true civility to defend our precious FREEDOM from THEM.

Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.

Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.


And what is it that we tell our VSG/ESG President Trump?

I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!


AND WHAT TIME IS IT?

TIME TO….

DRAIN THE SWAMP

Our movement

Is about replacing

A failed

And CORRUPT

Political establishment

With a new government controlled

By you, the American People.

Candidate Donald J. Trump

Also remember Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

SO – where do I begin?

Let’s try THE END this time.

I am going to be doing things to LOCK DOWN THE SITE as we go into battle here – both for DECLAS and for the 2020 election.

So – WHY am I saying this?

I believe that we are being HACKED, but it’s not simply the OLD-FASHIONED “cyber” way. I believe that much of it is SOCIAL HACKING. I believe it is all coordinated with rather brilliant social hacking at CTH as well.

Thus, I will be taking broad SOCIAL MEASURES to keep the socialists. Satanists, Soviets, Chi-spies, and other allied CYBER-TRASH out of our site.

To begin decontamination procedures, I will be encouraging THREE THINGS:

(1) Forgiveness toward any BUTTHURT we may feel toward CTH. Once you realize that a very sophisticated social hacking, which relied on common cyber-spoofing techniques as well, was used against BOTH OUR SITES, then you can LET THE FORGIVENESS FLOW.

One of the primary goals of our enemies is to get us to fight with CTH. NOPE. Not gonna happen. We have to make these enemies BURN IN THEIR ANGER that they won’t be able to accomplish what they want to do.

The other side has tried to LEVERAGE the pain and suffering of Patrick Henry Censored to harm BOTH CTH and this site. It’s what they do. Think about what Q says, and realize that THIS is exactly what he’s talking about.

(2) Giving out your email address. DON’T. It can be used to help IMPERSONATE YOU.

(3) Registration with WordPress. This relates to points ONE and TWO. We need to begin LOCKING DOWN THE SITE against the techniques that have been used for social and mixed social/cyber hacking. Because non-registration allows quite a bit of shenanigans, that is PRECISELY why many people here have been SCARED INTO NOT REGISTERING – and moreover to themselves become advocates of not registering.

See how that works? It’s a rather beautiful scam. The enemies of this site shilled people here very hard not to register with WordPress, precisely so that they could keep options for social hacks open AGAINST those people.

I will not be closing this door on “email members” immediately – but I will DEFINITELY be closing that door before the 2020 election. Probably sooner.

More information will come out as needed. Don’t worry about it right now, but do start getting used to the idea. Also remember this. I will be telling you WHY we need to do this in more detail, and trust that those details are going to made a difference in how you feel about registration.

Thanks, and talk to you more about this in a week or two.

W

LOCK-DOWN IS COMING.

Don’t mess with the Big Fur Hat guys!

Sylvia Avery

Wheatie dear so sorry to discover the extent of your WP issues.
Big Mama TEA said at PHC’s that she has found a person at WP to talk to, and that some of the problems OT have been WP problems. WP updated a month ago and things have been wonky since. But that’s only a small piece of the puzzle. She’s trying to get answers from people OT but hasn’t had any success.
I hope it all works better moving forward. We need our comms. Night night.

smiley2

‘morning Sylvia…one question, probably rhetorical, and not meant for you to answer…if the banning snafu OT is a WP issue, then why weren’t any (of my) emails answered that were sent to that site specifically asking about this ?
every time in the past when I sent an email, eventually…like within a few hours…I would get a response with some sort of an explanation…even if the response was “we don’t know”.
but this time, every single request for an explanation or for help was completely ignored….either by posting it or by sending several emails.
the fact that “people OT” are not at all forthcoming about any of this, and we have to go to great lengths to try to pull info out of them is troubling, no ?
troubling…because it makes them seem evasive…and manipulative…
and untrustworthy.
something other than what we thought they were for such a long time.
PHC’s tremendous attitude is to be admired. <3

smiley2

hi Wolf…thnks for your Reply…that makes sense and is most likely the answer…just everything is blocked and trashed….very insulting…and NO IDEA WHY…it’s like a nasty ending to a long-standing relationship…I’d been a regular OT since Jessica days..9 years ? had ups & downs…mostly ups…some good ppl OT who post…but too many have departed since the election…something creeped in OT…a vibe…a negative vibe…a contentious and insulting vibe, actually…mystifying, to say the least.
c’est la vie, I guess.
it is what it is.
I hope YOU have a great day ! <3 😀

smiley2

Wolf…let me ask you this…are you saying we haven’t actually been “banned” OT ?
I’m trying to follow what you’re saying about the IT/WP issues in your other comments here…I understand part of it…the 2 types of Registering…kind of…but confused about the identity impersonating and the hacking part…?

smiley2

divide & conquer ?
pit ppl against each other ?
who’s next ??

smiley2

wolf….been doing a little reading on impersonating in WP (do you want a link for that ? I have one..)…is it only the Administrator(s) who can actually do the impersonating…of the users ?
am I getting that right ?

duchess01

Great Job, Wolf! All of the ‘right’ questions – just like ‘Q’ – you fast learner? Wholeheartedly agree –
Many moons ago, I literally got attacked by a poster from ‘who knows where’ – but, they told me I had no right to post – because I was a ‘nasty so and so’ – from ‘who knows where’ – and to just ‘shut up’ –
I responded: you are mistaken – someone with the same handle – on another blog – is nasty – it is not me – I do not post there – or even visit to read – ask anyone here – and they will tell you – of course – no one spoke up – but, the attacks continued – I apologized for whoever had hurt them – but, it was not me – I do not know you – Have a Blessed Day!
They gave up – never saw them again on the blog – Go figure!

Jan Phillips

Duchess!!!! So good to see you! I’ve been hoping against hope that you would find this wonderful place, but didn’t have a way to get in touch!!!
You are such a great addition to this amazing tree!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

duchess01

Oh, you, too, Jan! I cannot believe how many of my favorite people in the whole wide world are here! Missed you…
Smooches and Huggles for you from me!

Jan Phillips

That’s why there was an empty branch here just waiting for you! Because you are such a favorite!!!

duchess01

It was not an easy journey, Jan – according to carl – it was quite arduous – lol – so glad you saved me a branch – I get lost easily – lol

Jan Phillips

Smooches and juggles for you from me!! 😘🥰😍

duchess01

Juggles? What are juggles, Jan – oh I see – they are “Jan Huggles’ = Juggles

Jan Phillips

Hahaha!!!!! Huggles!!!!

duchess01

Awww…I like Jan Juggles – it fits!

Jan Phillips

Well then smoochy juggles to my Duchess it is!!! 😘🥰

duchess01

Hahahaha! I love it!

“My guess is that your emails are being auto-trashed in the same way that posts by banned users are auto-trashed in WordPress – by email address. Once the system ignores you, that’s it.”
__________________________________________________
I had signed up at WP when I first came to OT. I tried to sign in and did not work and then ask for different password the email never got to me. I am not computer savvy that is that. I had the same problem at Gab these are the two only sites where I do not get my email ?
I have a new computer and still use at times my Apple because I am not used to the Microsoft 10 operating system. I also use an iPad when I come here.
The strange thing is when I use my new computer that has Eset as security and it keeps popping up telling me the site is not secure only on this site. I ignore it.
When I use my new computer again I will post the IP address of the Internet stalker.
I need to set up a new email address and then signet with new email and change my handle a little but will let moderators know.
I can see that maybe the opposition to POTUS is harassing conservative sites. I wonder if this hangs together with the Bilderburgh meeting? Anything to discourage disrupt Trump’s supporters.
Concerning OT I have no problem forgiving . God forgives us before we ask so can I too forgive.
Wolf thanks for letting us know what goes on !

NebraskaFilly

Ah, yes – those bogus security warnings! Got caught in one myself a couple of years ago. I still use the same Juno e-mail I have been using for about, oh, 15 years or more? Have another on mail.com but I haven’t checked on that for probably at least a year. I don’t hide – my Disqus account is not private and I post public on FB, as well as within groups. Have only an HP laptop and an old flip-phone on which I can access the net but I never have or will. Have a smart phone a friend gave me but I haven’t activated it.
In any case, got a security alert e-mail ostensibly from Microsoft and actually went through making changes over the phone before recognizing what was happening. Had to contact my bank to stop the payment – thankfully, I caught it early enough or I would have been screwed and never even got a kiss first!

Cuppa Covfefe

Geoblocking is also a huge problem. A lot of sites in the US (and even a few in the UK) get electronic indigestion when I try to log on from Germany. Brave has something of a TOR window available, which usually works. I’m also looking at VPN (which has issues because the ISPs keep us in the cheap seats and force DS lite (IPv6/ipv4) via carrier-grade NATs, which makes VPNs ugly. Never thought I’d be getting back into networking just to keep my home rig(s) going…geesh… Chiefio has been experimenting with VPNs originating from other countries, e.g. the former eastern Europe. I rather expect that could have *cough* exciting (or exiting) results…
Drives me nuts when someone posts a link to an LA Times article, for example, and I can’t pull it up. Grrr…

Volgarian8301

So I’m confused already……is it good to be registered with an email or no? I think I am

Volgarian8301

I can, but along with the few I recognize, it’s showing I follow sites that I never heard of ….. Should I be concerned 😳

smiley2

ok…well…I see that I posted to Sylvia (above) before I read what Wolf had to say (also above) about cyber security and the possible hacking going on..
so, Sylvia, plse disregard my question up there, and the entire post, actually…if you want to.
sorry about that….jumped in too fast.
I am still perplexed…and, frankly, not sure if I’m 100% convinced that hacking has occurred..but what do I know ?
just going to watch & listen..
and say thanks to y’all who are trying to get to the bottom of it and figure it out.
and…I get what Wolf has to say about the “butthurt” thing…yes…got it. 🙂

Aubergine

Well, whoever the game-players are, they might as well know one thing; I will stick with Trump and MAGA, no matter what stupid games they play. They can kiss my ass, too.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved CTH until I was banned, and I love it here. But if you banned me right now because of this comment, it wouldn’t change ONE THING about me or my core beliefs. I would continue to read, study, and be ready to fight back when the time comes.
I don’t know what is happening OT. But I do hold the blog owner responsible. That doesn’t mean I hate him, it means it is on him. Some of the smartest people I know do the dumbest things.
I will continue to read SD when I don’t think he’s full of shit. But my trust level for him is much lower than it was. I was never a sycophant, but I didn’t question his knowledge and integrity nearly as much as I do now. I used to think he was smarter than me, but now, not so much. That doesn’t only stem from the personal issues, but from really stupid mistakes he’s made that are obvious to me, like his fill-in-the-blanks in redactions that are clearly bullshit, as I have demonstrated here before.
You I trust, to the degree I trust anyone I can’t look into their eyes when I interact with them. I understand that you are playing ‘Q’ and I think I get why. I hope you are able to explain it all sooner rather than later, though, because “intellectual me” gets that something bad has probably happened to SD, but “emotional me” is pissed and wants to go to war with the person she perceives is the bad guy.

smiley2

indeed…indeed…100% right on.

smiley2

Aubergine….posted this to you below but you might miss that so posting it again here…
article re impersonating in WP…
https://wplounge.org/impersonate-user-wordpress/
sheds a little more light on the HOW.
🙂

Aubergine

Hmmmm. Thanks!

Emeraldstar

My thanks as well.
The more we understand the inner workings of platforms like WP – not just from “our” side, but from “their” side (Admin) as well, the better we’ll be able to detect interaction problems, and so identify their cause(s).
It sounds like having multiple e-mail accounts is a way to get around this problem: when one email gets “flagged”, rightly or wrongly, another email account can be used.
It’s likely the same in the event of an IP address being flagged. In this case, having multiple devices (say, home-computer and mobile-device) may do the trick.
The other issue, which Wolf mentioned last night / early this a.m., is “registering” ones account. I, like you, have a computer-generated avatar – which means, I believe, that we are both just “email” users of WP. No profile, no “personal” avatar, and no settings ability (notifications of responses, checking posters’ histories, etc.).
We all have to become “techies” on some level, here in 2019 …

smiley2

I do get notifications…I have that option…but I am just an “email user”…no profile etc….we will have to change that ?? the new Registration has me confused…hopefully Wolf will explain HOW and WHEN.

Emeraldstar

I think that you *are* registered.
I also think that I am not.
I don’t have the capability of “liking” posts … yet you do. Perhaps you’re also able to personalize your avatar (but simply haven’t done so), whereas I cannot. (And, a few months back, when the green comet flew nearby, another poster (GA / FL?) dropped the PERFECT picture for me to use as an avatar!)
As far as I can tell, one MUST provide an email, and a “name” (nom-de-plume is best, NEVER ones actual name!), in order to post.
The “password” issue was weird for me. I may have messed it up, but when signing on here initially, I never entered a password … but I may have clicked “submit” or pressed “enter” prematurely. For a split second, I saw my actual name show up in the password box – and I never had to use a password again (memory-saved? I suspect so.).
I conclude that I need a new email (a *dedicated* one, solely for this purpose) for WP, to rectify the privacy issues. Then I can get my avatar, and “like” posts.
There aren’t any “instruction” manuals … we all have to figure it out by trial-and-error. And mistakes can be very costly. So, “crowd-sourcing” the how-to’s, like we’re all doing here, seems the best method to get educated and minimize errors …

Marica

Aubergine!!! I cannot like your comment enough–so I will just send you an internet kiss! 😘😘 Thank you!!!

Aubergine

We can do those fancy French air kisses on both cheeks!
Thanks, Marica!

NebraskaFilly

If I might add just one tiny point to your outstanding overview….
Another thing that bothered me OT was the nastiness and snarkiness that was allowed to continue unchallenged. Targeted denigration and humiliation should never be allowed – it was turning into another BB, IMO, without the block option. I do have to acknowledge, however, that I wouldn’t have found any of you without a link in a BB comment thread.
As for me, I feel nothing but disdain and CTH is now irrelevant to me. I had a WP account long before I even found CTH anyway and I always sign in there first.

Best memory of the Siege of Yorktown and Surrender of Lord Cornwallis Bi-Centennial re-enactment was walking back home/camp from they days activities in October through old Yorktown in the dark with a Black Watch (re-enacted) piper and his family .. dh was in period uniform .. and I was dressed appropriately .. the piper decided to “pipe” us home to our encampment .. we walked through old Yorktown .. as he played doors flew open, people in their doorways saw a rag tag bunch from history walking home down the cobblestone street … 😉👍 ..

Sylvia Avery

I’m exhausted. Too tired to make much sense of your post, Wolfie, I’ll give it another try tomorrow.
I’m still pissed to the max about events. But I will say this. PHC wants OT to succeed. He’s hurt, but he doesn’t express anything but gratitude for that site and it’s board owner person controller whoever or whatever that is. When others kicked shade at it, he said he wants it to succeed. For MAGA. And because he’s a better person than I am.
Good night all. See you in the morning. Oh wait, it is morning. Well. See you later.

Night night, Syl.

Wolfie, After my fights with WORD PRESS CENSORSHIP in 2014, I am not real happy about giving WordUnimpressed any of my info.

Gail Combs

What about Gravatar??? I have been considering using gravatar.

Gudthots

Only one little niggly thing about Gravatar. No delete account option. It’s forever.

smiley2

Gravatar is part of WordPress…isn’t it automatic.. within WP ??

patfrederick

well I registered for a wp account and was completely lost…blog name? blog content? then did I own a domain name?
I stumbled thru what I could, and hopefully don’t have to go full into creating anything more–cuz I am totally clueless about this stuff.
pressing post comment now…see what happens…lol

patfrederick

well, one less to worry about later hopefully.
I just found out that now (with an account) i can LIKE stuff…watch out now…going to like everyone’s comment–or would that be spam? LOL

smiley2

HOW do I register without using my email and user name ??
sorry to be obtuse but I’m confused !
SOS

Teagan

Pat….I felt the same when I ventured over to some of the other (twitter) sites. If I don’t understand the commands, i’m very reluctant to sign up. I’ve allowed most of my “participation” sites to go inactive…the ones where to must be registered to make a comment to even press the “like” button. Even though I know anyone who actually wants my information can easily obtain it, I don’t have to hand it to him on a silver tray….and, in truth, my response comments are something the world can probably live with out!
I’m not quite still clinging to the flip phones mentality but probably not far off! Wolfmoon certainly got a big clue as I was going through my WP debacle recently. I could see you shaking your head, Wolfe! 👀

“….I’m not quite still clinging to the flip phones mentality….”
Well I sure AM! I use a flip phone ONLY because Hubby insists I have a phone when I leave the house. He generally has to ask me if I have it…
I am also ‘computer impared’ so take this as just my notes to be used if/when I get a new computer.

still got a flip phone Teagan…nothing else works out here in the middle of no where..
and I was reluctant to open new accounts because of keeping track of all the passwords. but i solved that when I found my old “little black book” from when i was younger. i just have to overlook the places i scratched out old boyfriends’ names (both of them) and it was a totally useful book…lol

Deplorable Patriot

I guess I kind of assumed that any site where people post that information is logged. But, I’ve been a content editor online for at least 15 years, so maybe that is just institutional knowledge rather than common.

smiley2

wolf…this is getting complicated…I do realize that YOU have my SAME WP name, email, address…
so…eventually are you saying we here will have to CHANGE that type of REGISTRATION with you here ?
that’s what I’m confused about, please & thanks !
and then…if so…HOW do we DO that ?

patfrederick

since I’m new to this, this is what happened for me:
when i clicked on the create account or site what ever it was, I had to enter an email address. I use the same one I’ve been using. then it asks you to create a user name. you can try using the one you are using–I tried several really cool ones, but they were already taken…lol…so I stuck with my old one. then you need to create a password.
then you give “your blog” a name ( I picked sew colorful since that describes my language and crafts…lol) and you had to choose what your blog would be about. (I have no intention of using the blog, so you can make up anything).
then you had to choose a domain name? i clicked on whatever they said was free
and that’s all i did…they send you a confirmation email at the one you provide so they can verify it’s you.
and you can go further and set up other features I guess, but not interested in any of that…

smiley2

ok…so I can keep my same email, my same user name…but I’ll have to create a NEW PASSWORD ?
and then create a BLOG ?
so I do away w/ my current psword, create a new psword that goes w/ the new blog name/account (even tho I’m not actually setting up a blog)…?
is that it ?
sheesh.
let’s just go back to writing/sending letters and cryptic notes in secret DROPS under the bridges …

NebraskaFilly

If I recall correctly, you should be able to bypass the blog creation and the other extraneous stuff. At least, I did……I think. It was so long ago….probably changed now?

smiley2

well..then…I’ve already done that…that is how I’ve always been registered w/ WP…is the issue that I have to re-do the same thing again but w/ a totally different email & pswrd & user name ?

smiley2

at last !
“…you have no issues.”
finally !
Mr Wolf..you have made my day. 😀

patfrederick

so I didn’t need to create my super cool, super exclusive blog? LOL
i didn’t see the bypass this crap button!

Cuppa Covfefe

Is it OK if I use “World Domination” as what my blog will be about 🙂 ?

bakocarl

I skipped the create a blog stuff . . . no blog.

Hey there gang at Cheers, I just saw this over at Neon Revolt:
…………………………………….
NYPD Chief Kills Himself Just Days Before Retirement
https://breaking911.com/breaking-update-nypd-chief-kills-himself-just-days-before-retirement/
This is purportedly the Police Chief that handed over the Weiner laptop to the FBI and had seen the contents.
………………………………………
Imagine that…
What is it going to take for the government and Fake News to recognize the ‘suicide’ epidemic?
There are now people who compelled to Tweet that they are happy and in good health with no intention of killing themselves, so if they wind up dead and it looks like a suicide, it’s not, it’s murder.
That’s how ridiculous it’s getting.

wheatietoo

Woah…another one?
That lady NYPD officer who was shot execution-style, sitting in her car, was also one of the ones who gone through the Weiner Laptop.
😐😒
You may remember Pres Trump comforting her mother at the memorial service:comment image

It was said that the officers who went through that Weiner Laptop, got physically ill from seeing some of the stuff that is on it.
😳😞
It must be pretty bad.

There is definitely something fishy with this one.

Scott!! THis is horrifying!! I believe this chief was the one that “cried” because the contents were so disgusting…DECLAS NOW!!!

A friend was a small town southern boy. The sheriff was a blowhard bullying POS who had wrongly ticketed a sister who was a straight arrow. So my friend and another teen snuck up to the cruiser placed a big chain (muffled in rags) around his rear axel and then locked it around the giant oak he was snoozing under.
The teens then went roaring by his sleeping place in their hot rod. The sheriff stomped on the gas went tearing after them, hit the end of the chain and tore the rear end out of the cruiser. The second boy’s father (owner of the chain) was the local mechanic who had to fix the cruiser.
The whole affair went to court.
Well the boys were ticked off at their punishment and did it AGAIN! So it goes before the same judge a second time and the judge looks the cop in the eye and says. “I can understand ONCE but a second time these kids got the better of you, because you were ASLEEP? YOUR FINED FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR.” Then the town FIRED the POS and voted in a much more reasonable person.

Cuppa Covfefe

Wow. Great story, and creative kids!
The movie “American Graffiti” had a scene similar to that. Never laughed so hard in my life. The fact that someone in real life did it, TWICE, is incredible. POS Sheriff was probably a Boss Hogg type, too (and I’ve dealt with some of them in the deep and not-so-deep south, too; no fun there – then again, lots of good ones, too).
Wonder if the Sheriff was a Democrat? They never seem to learn…
Hmmm. Do I hear a Wolf in the background?

Cuppa Covfefe

Yep… The Woldm00n is everywhere…
All those old cars in that lot.. my youth staring back at me. Ford Galaxie Country Sedan (buncha Falcons there, but I can dream), or a Country Squire, or the Chevys…ahh, those were the days…
And, this (raises lemon popsicle and Gin and Tonic in salute):

Further to that (and a great bit of history, here’s an interview with Wolfman Jack in the 1990s, by a Canadian interviewer, where he explains the beginning of “Wolfman Jack”, and some background about himself and his career.
Some interesting ironies: First, there’s a ground loop in the broadcast, so there’s a hum in the background; maybe that was an homage to the old tube amplifiers and XLR mics… (but I thought they were balanced…..).
Second, the interviewer is a Canadian gentleman, aka toff, so there’s quite a contrast there…
Third, Wolfman keeps plugging his book, though the host doesn’t seem to like that. The contrast between the two couldn’t be any greater. Or funnier… Oh, the joys of hyperlinking – look up one thing, end up with a whole lot of other interesting things. Could never have done that with the Dewey Decimal System and the library card catalogs. Though the old programmed learning texts (anyone remember them??? ) came close.
Ahhh, those were the days (EDITH!!!! Stifle yerself!) (Can’t have your cake and Edith, too…).

“See how that works? It’s a rather beautiful scam. The enemies of this site shilled people here very hard not to register with WordPress, precisely so that they could keep options for social hacks open AGAINST those people.
I will not be closing this door on “email members” immediately – but I will DEFINITELY be closing that door before the 2020 election. Probably sooner.
More information will come out as needed. Don’t worry about it right now, but do start getting used to the idea.”

So if you start locking doors, please make sure you explain what’s going on. Or if you don’t see me for a while, I’m just locked out, lol!

Well I don’t comment often and I was one of the first to come on here when the site first opened.
I won’t be joining word press for the same reason I don’t twitter or do any social media, I’m not a joiner.
For the record all my posting done wherever is with a burner email address that gets me as far away from google as I can get, and I often use tor depending on what machine I’m using.
If that puts me outside so be it.

“But we are now dealing with impersonation of members in order to manipulate the sites.”
__________________
It would be very interesting to see if someone could successfully ‘impersonate’ me, i.e., do it well enough to fool the regular readers here.
I think it would be very difficult to do, because we get used to the way different people here write or express themselves, everyone has their own distinctive traits and ‘style’, and if it suddenly changed, it would ‘stand out’, at least somewhat, it seems.

scott467

But what keeps the person who is being impersonated from seeing the impersonator, and saying ‘Hey everyone, that’s not me, that’s somebody posting under my name!’
Which sets up an even more interesting scenario, I could (and would) challenge my ‘impostor’ immediately, essentially call his bluff, and I don’t think the impostor could withstand that confrontation for more than a post or two.
In fact, now I’m very much looking forward to trying it.
I want to fight with my doppelganger 😁
That’s essentially what I’ve been searching for, ever since I first started posting on the Internet. I didn’t realize it at first, not for a long time, but that’s basically what it turned into. I have fought practically everyone I’ve encountered, who aren’t ‘friendlies’.
I want to fight someone just like me.
And I can’t find him!
I don’t think the ‘impersonator’ will actually be even close though, he will just be pretending to be just like me. And who could expose him more quickly than the ‘real’ me?
The only way it could even be close is with AI, and that would probably be the most fun challenge of all. A machine that has studied every post I ever made, ‘learned’ everything about me that it can learn, and then confronting me with it’s version of ‘me’.
Which means I have to be creative, to be different than I have been in the past, in order to defeat the machine. And the machine can’t be creative, not in the same why that I can be.
That’s how I win 🙂

scott467

Which question?
1) But what keeps the person who is being impersonated from seeing the impersonator, and saying ‘Hey everyone, that’s not me, that’s somebody posting under my name!’

Scott asked my question.
How could someone impersonate me, and me never see it?
Are they literally controlling WHO sees what comments? And, if so, how to you combat THAT?
Does that mean there are comments “not me” made on CTH that I can’t see? Seriously?
If that’s true, I need a drink. And it’s 7 am.

The problem is that gas-lighting and fraud start out with many advantages on the internet. As distinctive as individual style may be, even sharply attuned readers are not looking for style, and if they catch a change in style, they might more readily believe some explanation other than fraud is involved, if they even give it that much thought.
A name or handle is a powerful default setting to the reader (as VSG has shown us).

Tonawanda

No question they are using psychologists, and the universities produce studies on an ongoing basis designed to fine tune mass/individual manipulation and fraud.
More and more people are coming to understand what has happened to human existence in the past century and more, but many more still have no clue.
People who understand that intricate, mass deception is happening still have difficulty in sorting through it (understandably, it is very sophisticated).
People who take things at face value have no chance. For one thing, they do not understand that facts, truth, and objective reality are irrelevant except to the extent they can be leveraged.
And they do not understand that there are human beings (nomenklatura/apparatchiks) who get their satisfaction in life by treating other humans as laboratory rats.

Tonawanda

And it goes back in our national media/entertainment for decades. People will often say nowadays that just a little while ago journalism was legit, or they will even refer to Cronkite as legit. No, no, no.
What is different nowadays is that Fake News has been forced into abandoning the calibrated phoniness of objectivity and impartiality. They have been taken outside of themselves and their role.
Although, like true communists, they refuse to admit even the most obvious truth, and with a solemn straight face claim to be objective and impartial, regardless of how absurd.
And when you think about their insistence on absurd “factual” propositions, it tells you a lot about where they are coming from, NOT (only) in a moral sense, but in the sense of deliberate psychological manipulation. They “succeed” precisely because most people cannot even entertain the level of depravity.

Deplorable Patriot

EVERYTHING regarding messaging has been studied ad nauseum. The impact of specific words, colors, sounds, etc., and how it effects the emotions. That information is used for manipulation not just by psychologists, but in advertising, film and a lot more.
Walk down a cereal aisle in a grocery store and look at the colors on the boxes. Almost all of them are primary colors with simple logos that attract the attention of children.
Watch a movie or TV show about the mob and listen to the low piano music in the background usually with a staccato beat that will increase heart rates. That contributes to making the stories thrilling.
Consider the words available in English for the action walk: saunter, stroll, process, meander, etc. Each has its own connotation and emotions that go with it.
It all goes hand in hand. Applied psychology can be used in a lot of ways.

NEVER FORGET the Banksters BOUGHT CONTROL of the US Median in 1915! link
In 1917 The Banksters used AMERICAN $$$ to PAY FOR the Bolshevik Revolution link
Before that in 1904, they “…finance Japan in a war against Tzarist Russia….”
This was thought to be the set-up for WWI and WWII link

…In fact, scholars have suggested that the Russo-Japanese War set the stage for World War I and, ultimately, World War II, as some of the central issues in the first conflict were at the core of the fighting during the latter two. Some have even referred to it as “World War Zero,” given that it took place less than a decade before the start of World War I…..

G Edward Griffin had at *http://www.freedomforceinternational.org/

Gail Combs

Wolfie,
The way I saw it work at WUWT was they use REAL PEOPLE — Embeded MOLES at worrisome sites. Remember $$$ is NOT A PROBLEM.
In the one instance that I mentioned to you when I began commenting here, I was target specific for a ‘troll’ because I was spreading info about Agenda 21 & the Banksters @ WUWT and elsewhere and therefore was seen as ‘dangerous’ He was a long time frequent commenter @ WUWT so he had ‘status’ He also followed me to Tony Heller’s site (And got kicked off for lying) and then to TCTH.
The other three ‘Disinfo-Agents’ were very high status commenters who were trusted and leaned on by Anthony Watts. I am talking about people who are the equivalent of Fleporeblog and Daughnworks247.
These people were normally reasonable. However at crucial moments they would stick the shiv into someone’s back as they did to Tall Bloke and then Dr Niv Shaviv link and Dr David Evans: L.S. beclowned himself in a vitriolic orgy of baseless accusations over at WUWT, so we graph his own data,and follow that to HERE.
Unfortunately ‘Free Speech’ allows these evil people plenty of room to do their dirty work leaving us with either censoring them and making us hypocrites or allowing them the bandwidth to spread their poison.

And if that person is who I think it is, I always felt their pronouncements came from the halls of Asgaard, as it were…
I think ALL of our institutions are being attacked, and as the swampians are being exposed, their attacks are getting shriller and more desperate. I read the other day that the number of sealed indictments is above 100,000 now. I’d hate to have to organize the structured, timely release and, erm, execution of those.
And I think that ClimateGateI and II were sort of dry runs for what we’re seeing now. And what ever happened to tranchIII, which was released as a passworded zip archive, with 12 people given the password, yet NONE OF THEM released so much as a paragraph of the info.
Gotta wonder WHO LEANED ON THEM and how hard… this Green Madness is a lot larger and deeper that folks suspect. Green – like the swamp…

GREEN — Like the GRASS COVERING OUR GRAVES!
Remember they plan to kill off MILLIONS of Americans.
https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/item/2455-obamas-friend-ayers-kill-25-million-americans
“…Here is one of the chilling revelations Larry Grathwohl made in the film:

I asked, “Well what is going to happen to those people we can’t reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?” And the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated.
And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.
And when I say “eliminate,” I mean “kill.”
Twenty-five million people.

I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people and they were dead serious….”
I think the only change in that plan is they UPPED THE NUMBER to well over THIRTY MILLION!

Teagan

Good discussion and points, people! So many to respond to but just a quick couple before I have to leave…. in the OT I always urged people to look at the ADJECTIVES, especially in the written media. Just like the examples of subliminal messaging in selling products, it’s also used to manipulate readers about a story or person. One of the examples I always used, was using the adjective billionaire when writing about Trump…always. It was never used to describe any other billionaires on the scene. Always using Republican but never Democrat when writing a negative story about a shooter, bomber, etc. as an exercise, go through a couple of written stories and cross out all the adjectives and see how it reads.
Second….I learned decades ago about the creation of war for vested interests. When we finally realize we are merely fodder for the canons of the Cabal/Globalist/Masters of the Universe, etc. then you can step back and see the big picture…and it’s not very pretty. Most go through life not knowing they are being used (thinking of the black community, for one), and they are probably better off for it. Sometimes I think those hearty souls that go into the wilds of Alaska and “drop out” aren’t so foolish, after all!
Gotta run..hope this makes sense.

“‘Disinfo-Agents’ were very high status commenters who were trusted”
I remember – either from the anons or from Patriots Soapbox – seeing a page out of the Disinfo playbook, where the author detailed the actual *percentages* (money spent, too, I suspect) on the 5 or 6 types of disinformation agents to be used.
At the bottom of the list of increasingly deceitful shill-types – only 5-10% – were the deep-embeds, who would cultivate such a reputation of trust, so that their shilling would only be used when all other shill-methods (the other 90-95%) failed.
I wish I had saved the page / playbook! It was just like the Alinsky book, in its evil and its 100% exaltation of deceit.
As I said a little earlier today to Smiley2, it’s the crowd-sourcing which helps uncover this tactic. The way I like to put it, deceit works best one-on-one; but when there are MANY pairs of eyes on the deceiver, the deceit success rate goes WAY down.
OT, I remember a poster “Rumpole” who used this deep-shill tactic. Posted a bunch of very entertaining stuff, but then BOOM he came out in favor of “moderated” free speech.
Diabolical!

I’m afraid most of what we’re seeing are not, nor have they ever been “Trump supporters”. My sister who lives in California is married to a democrat who regularly receives emails to join in on social media sites to impersonate Trump supporters.
She told me that in the last 3 months the there’s been a marked increase in those type of emails. I’ve seen the increase on most sites as of late.

From my old notes on TROLLS:
11/13/2015 catweazle666 says @ Tony Heller’s Blog

Both George Monbiot of the Guardian and Aaron Huertas, press officer of the Union of Concerned Dogs Scientists were advertising on their blogs at one point for trolls to whom they could send emails in order that they could be directed to and disrupt blogs that didn’t support “The Cause”.
Then there was Gavin Schmidt’s appeal on (un)skepticalscience recruiting for his rapid response “Crusher Crew” for exactly the same purpose.
All of the above posted instructions as to how to disrupt blogs, which bore an uncanny resemblance to the tactics employed by Marty, ie don’t worry about accuracy, accuse the poster of lying and drive any sensible posts off the bottom of the page by spamming.
I can see no reason why these practices should have been discontinued, especially by Huertas, who ran various sockpuppets and was a major internet pest.

Internet trolls have a mental disorder
[Originally published in “Psychology Today”]
An Internet troll is someone who joins an online discussion and posts comments designed to upset or disrupt the conversation. Often, it is quickly evident that their sole purpose is to upset everyone. They will lie, exaggerate, defame and vituperate just to create a response and derail a thread.
Some researchers from Canada sought to find out what type of person would do this and why. Their study, published in the September 2014 issue of Personality and Individual Differences, found that cybertrolling was an Internet manifestation of everyday sadism.
Researchers conducted two online studies of 1,200 people. They gave personality tests to each one and surveyed their Internet commenting behavior. They were looking for evidence of what is termed the “Dark Tetrad” of personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy and sadism. What they found was that Dark Tetrad scores were highest among people who said their favorite activity was trolling.
The study authors wrote that the Dark Tetrad scores were off the charts for Internet trolls and “… the associations between sadism and GAIT (Global Assessment of Internet Trolling) scores were so strong that it might be said that online trolls are prototypical everyday sadists.”
Of course, this does not apply to all trolls. Some are simply government or nongovernment agency disinformation agents. Intelligence services, corporations, governments and politicians have all been outed as having disinformation trolls roaming Internet sites.
But it’s just as likely the annoying troll on your favorite site is simply mentally ill. When you respond, you’re just feeding his psychopathy.

The best advice is, if you see one, don’t feed him.

Gail Combs

Oh I agree Wolfie, both WUWT and CTH were THE sites in their respective fields so they HAD to be STOMPED ON HARD!
If you go back to what I said about the Aristos and Banksters CREATING the Marxism SCAM to herd humans back into serfdom. If you add in G Edward Griffin observation that the river of unearned money scamed out of Americans by the Central Bank is used to BUY up the transmission centers of our culture — our schools, universities, media, boy scouts, girl scouts, NGOs — It only makes sense that the SAME group would try to ‘invade’ and take over internet sites or shut them down or as a last resort kill off the Board Owner/Journalist (Think Breitbart and others) They certainly had that RIVER of MONEY to do so.
….
I keep thinking of Lynn Cohen-Cole. She was very active during the ‘Farm Wars’ and had even gathered a bunch of us together via e-mail. The last I hear from her, she said she thought her house was being surveilled and she was being followed and then silence…

It also happens in Christian blogs. There was a great blog, “Ponderings from Patmos” by Jennifer Pekich, which ran afoul of Rick Warren when he was doing a New Age type “health program” that had utterly nothing to do with Christianity, indeed, it was being run by three New Agers. Warren, at that time at least, was CFR.
Within days of the widely-redistributed posts, her blog basically disappeared, not just taken down, but obliterated. And what she wrote was confirmed by others who were there at the time.
So this censorship and “PC or it’s the gulag for you” “KONTROL” is just about everywhere, in almost every field.
Pointman has some good articles about trolls, manipulation, the trials and tribulations of owning an managing a website, and an interesting angle on US politics from across the pond.

“…One only wonders who’s influencing them…”

“….At a news conference last week in Brussels, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, admitted that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.
“This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she said.”
