Yes. Here's a video about it. Dated Feb. 4, 2020.

Description: Mayor of Florence Dario Nardella has suggested residents hug Chinese people to encourage them in the fight against the novel coronavirus. Meanwhile, a member of Associazione Unione Giovani Italo Cinesi, a Chinese society in Italy aimed at promoting friendship between people in the two countries, called for respect for novel coronavirus patients during a street demonstration. "I'm not a virus. I'm a human. Eradicate the prejudice."
I don't know exactly what you're saying, but it sounds exciting. I agree about keeping info close. While thrilling to the peanut gallery, it doesn't really help anything for us to discuss highly sensitive things that we can't exert control over.
Yes, good point. See also Belt and Road Initiative (Italy is a big player in this), the Lombardy scares at the beginning of Covid, which drove the "2 weeks to slow the spread" messaging and that whole "Hug a Chinese" campaign in Italy. I could go on ...
Spot on! I’ve noticed prolific shills like Anaconda and QuranIsToiletPaper have their stupid pre-loaded all-caps rants about “Sidney and Lin the q-tard grifters” that they spray around like so much skunk stench. It does read to me like some very frightened shill attempt to discredit highly competent people who are very close to the truth. How threatening must Sidney and Lin be to receive such personalized attention and campaigns from the shills?
Apparently they waterboarded him with kerosene. In addition to the usual gangstalking and threats to murder him and his family.
Here's an interview where he explains: https://www.bitchute.com/video/oPDqIgUYVcL1/
Good Lord.
So, are you Ryan or are you Brad?
You've made variations of this exact same (wrong) comment on multiple posts. Not an organic post history. Doubt you're even a Trump supporter. You're way too invested in this one issue on which, again, you're wrong about.
So what if the words "consent decree" aren't in the PDF? The point is the document fits the exact legal definition of a CONSENT DECREE.
Give it up, man. Or woman. I guess you could be Jordy Fuchs, too.
Totally agree.
Appreciated your comment earlier with examples of what each of these terms means; ideally, everyone on this site should read the Techniques of Online Disinfo doc that Doggos linked above.
It would be even more effective if we had a perma-stickied post or sidebar resource with examples of each known strategy and what it looks like when deployed.
Sometimes the shills here can really stink up the place, but the mods are doing a great job combating them as they can. This is an information war, so we can’t be too vigilant against the danger of shills.
Once enough people know the strategies, the shills are toast — they don’t have actual persuasiveness, dedication (beyond a paycheck) or good arguments to fall back on.
Yes! They’re out of control. (Why did this comment get two downvotes? Shills putting in work on the arrows, I guess.)
To clarify your point — are you saying it’s weird that these topics haven’t gotten their own stickies/visible posts? I’m taking issue with what gets stickies and when also ...
Agreed. But I can’t decide what the outcome of the fraud will be. Common sense would suggest both D win with the fraud, but I’m wondering if a deal was cut for one of the R to win so spineless RINOs/media can scream: “See! It was all fair, because one of your guys won!”
I thought you were going to link this article:
So much degeneracy to choose from!
Wow, your shilling’s not quite going as planned with all these net-negative downvoted comments, is it?
Hint: You need to update your playbook. You’ve used too many obvious tactics like anger trolling, straw man arguments, questioning motives (“muh grifters!”), name-calling, etc.
Now, will you opt for hit and run (suddenly stop replying), demand complete solutions or change the subject as a response?
Here’s the playbook shills are using, for anyone else who wants to confirm suspicions that these all-caps screaming posters who keep repeating “GRIFTER!” like some Tourette’s tic are indeed shills: https://athens.indymedia.org/media/old/cointelpro_techniques_for_dilution....pdf
P.S. you must be a really shitty shill to have to work New Year’s Day 😂
Oops, I had meant to put this link when I asked if you'd seen this. It matches what you've identified very well:
https://athens.indymedia.org/media/old/cointelpro_techniques_for_dilution....pdf
Spot-on. Good on you for reverse engineering the recipe. Modern shilling is much more subtle than that wave of pranksters that were here Election Night, saying things like "COPE!" "hopium," "ha-ha you're fired, Orange Adolf" and other schoolyard idiocy.
This current crew is working hard to sow doubt, smear, divide, inflame -- just like everything you said. But then they throw transparent "pede," "MAGA," "1776" onto their usernames/in their comments and think it makes them look legit. Ha.
Presume you've seen this? https://athens.indymedia.org/media/old/cointelpro_techniques_for_dilution....pdf
Definitely a manual for Anaconda, Ronald__Dregan, MAGA_JUICE, joesniffskids, etc. (I don't know why I haven't blocked these obvious feds -- I guess to keep learning more about the enemy!)
Thank you! Appreciate the vote of confidence. Going into the negatives with internet points doesn't faze me -- the shills are getting transparent, and I assume some well-meaning people are getting swept up in the cointelpro also. The glowies come in hot with all-caps "Q-TARD," "CONSPIRACY THEORIST," "LARP!"
Normal behavior would be to downvote or ignore and keep moving, not copy/paste the same disproportionately angry screed about Sidney and Lin, often in unrelated posts.
We see you ...
Erm, are you serious?
Have you ever had a piece of gossip about yourself repeated back to you by someone unexpected?
I think something as explosive as these allegations -- that he's a pedo, that he violated international laws and basic decency to illegally adopt children from a world-renowned child trafficker -- I think this kinda stuff would quickly filter back to his ears, no matter what social platforms he's on.
THANK YOU. I've done so as well.
Known shill.
I've learned to be very wary of copy/pasted, bolded, massive font, etc. comments. Even if they have a "good" message. They just take up space, make people lose interest and cause a "resource burn" on the page.
The glowies are getting out of control. But the good news is they haven't updated their playbook for decades; they're using pre-online methods of COINTELPRO, which are 1) exceedingly obvious, 2) nowhere near as effective on people who have spent lots of time on the internet.
We all must do our part to DOWNVOTE and DEPORT. I don't even bother to engage.
Yes, a really slick experience. (Minus lagginess -- I get they're working hard to scale up!)
What really sold me are 1) their awesome merch shop, and 2) the founder's super-based media trolls/unapologetic emails. Follow him @a to see him in action. He has kind of a Trump-esque zero Fs given vibe.
