Democrat Tech Experts Posed As "Russian Trolls" To Influence Alabama Senate Elections In 2017

Democratic tech experts posed as “Russian trolls” in a false flag operation helping Democrat Doug Jones defeat Republican Roy Moore in the Alabama Senate race in 2017

https://southfront.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/roy-moore-efb21bcd27d24345.jpg

The operatives were funded by billionaire Reid Hoffman, independently of Doug Jones.
Hoffman gave the operatives $100,000 for their project, according to the NYT (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/19/us/alabama-senate-roy-jones-russia.html).

Immediately following the project, media outlets from Alabama and the entirety of US fell for the “false flag” operation and started perpetuating the false narrative in October 2017.

https://i33.servimg.com/u/f33/19/91/34/17/moore10.jpg


Democratic operatives, backed by a liberal billionaire and facilitated by a former Obama official, created thousands of fake Russian accounts to give an impression the Russian government was supporting Alabama Republican Roy Moore in last year’s election against now-Sen. Doug Jones.
The secret project, which had a budget of just $100,000 and was carried out on Facebook and Twitter, was revealed after the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/19/us/alabama-senate-roy-jones-russia.html) obtained an internal report detailing the efforts.
“We orchestrated an elaborate ‘false flag’ operation that planted the idea that the Moore campaign was amplified on social media by a Russian botnet,” the internal report said. It also took credit for “radicalizing Democrats with a Russian bot scandal” after experimenting “with many of the tactics now understood to have influenced the 2016 elections.”


Jones said Thursday he is "outraged" over the report and wants a federal investigation over the project.
"I'd like to see the Federal Election Commission and the Justice Department look at this to see if there were any laws being violated and, if there were, prosecute those responsible," he said. "These authorities need to use this example right now to start setting the course for the future to let people know that this is not acceptable in the United States of America."


One participant in the project reportedly was Jonathon Morgan, the chief executive of New Knowledge, a firm that wrote a report – released by the Senate Intelligence Committee earlier this week – about Russia’s social media operations in the 2016 election and its efforts to hurt Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump.
He reportedly contacted Renée DiResta, who later joined his company and became the leading author of the report about the Russian interference efforts for the firm, asking for suggestions of online tactics that are worth testing.


The Senate Intelligence Committee did not respond to a request for comment.
The Alabama project was funded by liberal billionaire and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman who gave $100,000 to the cause, according to the Times. Hoffman is one of Silicon Valley’s top donors to the Democrats, donating $7 million to various groups and campaigns in the last election cycle.
The money trickled down through American Engagement Technologies, a firm run by Mikey Dickerson who was appointed by former President Barack Obama to lead the newly-created United States Digital Service.
Dickerson did not reply to Fox News’ immediate request for a comment.


The Democratic operatives then created a Facebook page and imitated conservative Alabamians who weren’t satisfied with the Republican candidate while encouraging others to write in another candidate.
The project also involved creating thousands of fake Russian accounts on Twitter that began following Moore. This effort attracted attention from local and national media, falsely suggesting Russia is backing Moore’s candidacy.
“Russian invasion? Roy Moore sees spike in Twitter followers from land of Putin,” read the headline of an article at The Montgomery Advertiser, just months before the election night. Other outlets shortly picked up the story.

The Washington Post, meanwhile, pointed out that the Moore campaign accused the Jones campaign and Democratic operatives of “pulling a political stunt on Twitter and alerting their friends in the media.

The media hammered out the false narrative...

The New York Post (https://nypost.com/2017/10/16/roy-moore-flooded-with-fake-russian-twitter-followers/) reported “Roy Moore flooded with fake Russian Twitter followers.” The report cited the Montgomery Advertiser (https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/news/politics/southunionstreet/2017/10/16/roy-moores-twitter-account-gets-influx-russian-language-followers/768758001/), an Alabama affiliate of USA Today, which was first to run the story.

Mother Jones (https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/12/russian-propagandists-are-pushing-for-roy-moore-to-win/) cited the same report in a story named “Russian Propagandists Are Pushing for Roy Moore to Win.” The article mentioned Hamilton 68 dashboard (operated by the nonpartisan Alliance for Securing Democracy) tracked the hashtag #alabamasenaterace along with “600 Twitter accounts linked to Russian influence operations.”

Analyst Bret Shafer stated that those “600 accounts push out 20,000 to 25,000 tweets every day.” By Election Day, those accounts tweeted out votejudgemoore.com the most.

Jonathon Morgan belonged to the Hamilton 68 dashboard group.

The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/10/16/roy-moores-senate-campaign-gets-twitter-to-delete-thousands-of-fake-followers/) focused on the fact that Moore, turns out rightfully, blamed Democrats for the fake accounts.

The Daily Beast (https://www.thedailybeast.com/shadowy-unlabeled-ads-target-alabamians-on-an-unchanged-facebook) reported that “Shadowy Facebook Ads That Pushed Trump Are Back in Alabama.”

A Democratic operative who hatched a Russian "false flag" scheme against Republican Roy Moore in last year's Alabama special election promoted his own propaganda on the dubious "Hamilton 68" website (https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-09-29/congress-relying-debunked-guilt-association-online-tool-track-russian-influence) - which purports to track Russian "bot" activity, yet refuses to disclose how they do it.


One month before the Alabama special election, Morgan promoted his own dirty work as a "trending" topic on Hamilton 68.

In this Nov 2017 tweet Jonathan Morgan references “Russian trolls” driven by his own botnets in a dashboard that he was part of creating. https://t.co/42PmwCAuc2

Another angle to this big @nytimes (https://twitter.com/nytimes?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) story... Guess who participated in using a Russian style disinformation campaign to influence the Alabama Senate election AND hoped to frame Russia for it? The CEO of the company that wrote the Senate Intel report on 2016 election meddling. https://t.co/uSu8HYCl15

The false flag in the AL Senate race is a clear case of “fake disinfo” aimed at delegitimizing the Republican candidate. It was amplified by the press and laundered through Hamilton 68 for legitimacy.
— Jeff Giesea�� (@jeffgiesea) December 23, 2018 (https://twitter.com/jeffgiesea/status/1076896533906362368?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)
And how much of the effort around “combating #disinformation (https://twitter.com/hashtag/disinformation?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) and protecting democracy” (as many participants claim in their bios) was part of a broader black op aimed at delegitimizing Trump and Republicans?
— Jeff Giesea�� (@jeffgiesea) December 23, 2018 (https://twitter.com/jeffgiesea/status/1076897450479288320?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)
My assessment is that:

>Russian meddling did take place (though most of it was crap)

>disinfo remains a serious issue

AND

>the issue was weaponized as part of a political warfare campaigned aimed at delegitimizing Trump

The latter of these threats is the most dangerous.

Here are some key questions worth pursuing:

-What other ops are the players in this one involved with?

-How much other false flag disinfo has there been?

-How did this op relate to ops involving the Steele Dossier and Russia collusion narrative?

Feel free to suggest more.

What impact did the Senate AL black op have on voter turnout and the election outcome? Where does it fall in the law?

To what extent should we view the broader political warfare effort as a form of voter suppression? ... or as pretext for platform wars and censorship?

Facebook has suspended several accounts connected to Democrat operatives who orchestrated a campaign to fool Alabama voters into thinking Russian bots were promoting Republican Roy Moore’s senatorial campaign.
The action comes after reports surfaced that Democrats created thousands of Twitter accounts posing as Russian bots (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/19/us/alabama-senate-roy-jones-russia.html) to smear Moore and bolster Democrat candidate Doug Jones.
“We’ve recently removed five accounts run by multiple individuals for engaging in coordinated inauthentic behavior on Facebook around the Alabama special election, and our investigation is ongoing,” Facebook said in a press statement (https://gizmodo.com/facebook-removes-5-accounts-tied-to-shady-disinformatio-1831278171) Saturday.

Dec 27


EXCLUSIVE RELEASE FROM JEFF GIESEA


The following is a leaked copy of the secret after-action report from the Alabama Senate disinfo campaign, sometimes referred to as Project Birmingham. The New York Times broke the story of an orchestrated disinformation campaign in this December 19 article (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/19/us/alabama-senate-roy-jones-russia.html). The Times article referred to these documents, but they haven’t been publicly available until now. The images have been tweaked to remove watermarks and metadata.

The Attorney General for the State of Alabama is considering an investigation into “Russian style” election meddling in the 2017 U.S. Senate race between Democrat Doug Jones and Judge Roy Moore.
“Attorney General Steve Marshall said he’s looking into potential illegal activity during the 2017 special Senate race campaign,” said WHNT (https://whnt.com/2018/12/27/alabama-attorney-general-looking-into-disinformation-in-roy-moore-senate-race/).


“The information is concerning,” Marshall told (https://www.al.com/alabama/2018/12/disinformation-campaign-targeting-roy-moores-senate-bid-may-have-violated-law-alabama-ag-says.html)AL.com. (https://www.al.com/alabama/2018/12/disinformation-campaign-targeting-roy-moores-senate-bid-may-have-violated-law-alabama-ag-says.html) “The impact it had on the election is something that’s significant for us to explore, and we’ll go from there.”
Moore lost the race by a mere 21,000 votes after this apparent social media swindle, and allegations of sexual abuse. The Judge is currently suing his accusers for defamation. His primary accuser, who has never signed a sworn affidavit formally accusing him, cannot “withstand cross-examination” due to holes in her story and lack of memory of key details, according to a Constitutional attorney in Alabama (https://bigleaguepolitics.com/d-c-attorney-judge-moore-accusers-story-cannot-withstand-cross-examination/).
Once again, bad actors in Silicon Valley and within the Democratic party teamed up to take out Republican candidate for office.

An Alabama attorney spoke with Big League Politics and explained how Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.) benefitted from the social media hucksters at American Engagement Technologies to defeat Judge Roy Moore in the 2017 special election, breaking Alabama law in process.
“The advertisement section of [Fair Campaign Practices] Act (https://www.sos.alabama.gov/alabama-votes/pac-resources/FCPA) (FCPA) requires accurate disclosure of campaign ads, including social media,” former Alabama criminal defense attorney Johnny Davis told Big League Politics.


Davis said that the FCPA clearly spells out the rules for social media advertising, and that a campaign must make it clear when advertising on social media that who is funding the ads. According to Davis, Project Birmingham’s creation of opposition Facebook pages and apparently-Russian Twitter bots constitute advertising against the Moore campaign. But the actions were never disclosed as an opposition gimmick meant to take down the Moore campaign.

Things got even weirder when it turned out that Scott Shane, the author of the Times piece, had known about the meddling for months because he spoke at an event where the organizers boasted about it!
Shane was one of the speakers at a meeting in September, organized by American Engagement Technologies, a group run by Mikey Dickerson, President Barack Obama’s former tech czar. Dickerson explained how AET spent $100,000 on New Knowledge’s campaign to suppress Republican votes, “enrage” Democrats to boost turnout, and execute a “false flag” to hurt Moore. He dubbed it “Project Birmingham.” -RT (https://www.rt.com/usa/447619-new-knowledge-russia-bots-scandal/)

When it comes to spreading false-flag memes to try and sway a US elections, Democrats in Alabama are giving Russia a run for their money.
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/2019.01.07russia.JPG
In an explosive report published Monday, the New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/07/us/politics/alabama-senate-facebook-roy-moore.html?emc=edit_nn_p_20190107&nl=morning-briefing&nlid=61281955section%3DwhatElse&section=whatElse&te=1) published new details about a Facebook "influence campaign" financed by progressive groups that sought to deter moderate conservatives from supporting Roy Moore by spreading misleading advertisements implying that Moore supported turning Alabama into a "dry" state.
Moore, the controversial Republican candidate, ultimately lost to Democratic Sen. Doug Jones in the special election to fill a seat previously held by former AG Jeff Sessions following speculation that he tried to solicit sex from underage girls when he was a young lawyer working in the state.
The tactics employed by the groups matched those employed by the Internet Research Agency - the alleged Russian troll farm indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller - to a tee. The progressive group, which was financed by LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, spent $100,000 on salaries and ads during the final weeks of the campaign. They create a fake 'conservative' group called "Dry Alabama" that implored Alabama senate candidates to pledge to support making Alabama a "dry" state.
https://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/2019.01.07usrussia.JPG
The Facebook page and an accompanying Twitter feed appeared to be the work of pro-Moore baptist ministers.

Along with a companion Twitter feed, the Facebook page appeared to be the work of Baptist teetotalers who supported the Republican, Roy S. Moore, in the 2017 Alabama Senate race. “Pray for Roy Moore,” one tweet exhorted.
In fact, the Dry Alabama campaign, not previously reported, was the stealth creation of progressive Democrats who were out to defeat Mr. Moore — the second such secret effort to be unmasked. In a political bank shot made in the last two weeks of the campaign, they thought associating Mr. Moore with calls for a statewide alcohol ban would hurt him with moderate, business-oriented Republicans and assist the Democrat, Doug Jones, who won the special election by a hair-thin margin.
But in reality, the effort was led by progressive strategist Matt Osborne, who told the Times that Democrats have a "moral imperative" to use the same types of "dirty tricks" that have become closely associated with the Trump campaign.

Matt Osborne, a veteran progressive activist who worked on the project, said he hoped that such deceptive tactics would someday be banned from American politics. But in the meantime, he said, he believes that Republicans are using such trickery and that Democrats cannot unilaterally give it up.
"If you don’t do it, you’re fighting with one hand tied behind your back," said Mr. Osborne, a writer and consultant who lives outside Florence, Ala. "You have a moral imperative to do this — to do whatever it takes."
What's more, the operation is the second such social media "false flag" campaign uncovered in recent months. Another involved Democratic strategists creating an army of twitter bots that looked like Russian troll accounts. These bots were then assigned to follow Moore, to make it look like he was involved with Russia.

The discovery of Dry Alabama, the second so-called false flag operation by Democrats in the fiercely contested Alabama race, underscores how dirty tricks on social media are creeping into American politics. The New York Times reported last month on a separate project that used its own bogus conservative Facebook page and sent a horde of Russian-looking Twitter accounts to follow Mr. Moore’s to make it appear as if he enjoyed Russian support.
Apart from being deceptive and immoral, the Democrats' campaign violated Facebook's terms of service.

Facebook’s community standards, which were tightened in 2018, emphasize "authenticity" and prohibit "misrepresentation," including coordinated efforts to "mislead people about the origin of content."
Revelations about the first campaign led Facebook to shut down a handful of fake accounts.

The story of New Knowledge Inc. and “Project Birmingham,” a self-described false-flag operation designed to paint then-Senate candidate Judge Roy Moore as a Russian puppet, reached new heights Friday.
“A nonprofit group linked to Fusion GPS and partially funded by George Soros worked in recent months with a technology company implicated in a scheme to use fake Russian bots during Alabama’s special Senate election,” according to a Daily Caller report. (https://dailycaller.com/2019/01/10/fusion-gps-russia-false-flag/)
A non-profit called The Democracy Integrity Project (TDIP), according to the report, works with Fusion GPS and Christoper Steele who produced a fake document about President Donald J. Trump’s “connections” to Russia in order to slime him. The document was used to get a FISA warrant to surveil the President’s campaign, and subsequently an investigation was opened into Russian “collusion,” which is still ongoing.
The report said that TDIP partnered with New Knowledge during the 2018 midterms. This is the first time that two firms have been linked.

New Knowledge created fake Russian bots during Moore’s 2017 special election campaign, while its owner, Jonathon Morgan, spread conspiracy theories about the Judge’s campaign being bolstered by those same Russian bots, thus smearing him with a “collusion” story similar to what Fusion GPS used against Trump, albeit on a smaller scale.

If you are beginning to notice a pattern here – that shadowy D.C. tech firms and non-profits, using big money from Democratic Party donors (or in the case of Fusion GPS, the party itself) – are creating scandals involving Russian conspiracy theories, you might just be onto something.

U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D-Ala.) eked out a 21,000 vote victory over Judge Roy Moore in a Dec. 2017 special election, but his approval rating has plummeted since assuming office.
“[J]ones’s net approval rating has dropped 17 points since the first quarter of 2018, according to quarterly rankings of U.S. Senators,” said an AL.com report (https://www.al.com/news/2019/01/doug-jones-net-approval-down-17-points-since-elected.html).
The report cited a recent Morning Consult Poll (https://morningconsult.com/2018/10/10/americas-most-and-least-popular-senators-10-10/), which places Jones’ approval rating at 40 percent, and disapproval rating at 35 percent. The poll notes that 25 percent have no opinion on Jones.
The report said:

Since taking office in January 2018, Jones’ approval rating in Morning Consult quarterly polls has been:


Quarter 1 – Approval 47 percent, disapproval 25 percent for a net approval of 22 percent
Quarter 2 – Approval 45 percent, disapproval 28 percent for a net approval of 17 percent
Quarter 3 – Approval 43 percent, disapproval 30 percent for a net approval of 13 percent
Quarter 4 – Approval 40 percent, disapproval 35 percent for a net approval 5 percent



Those numbers show a steady decline over Jones’ first year, indicating some buyers’ remorse on behalf of Alabama voters.

The liberal billionaire who allegedly backed a misinformation campaign during the midterm elections played a significant role in funding a group responsible for creating a controversial fake news project.
Reid Hoffman greatly increased his financial contributions to artificial intelligence research group OpenAI, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned. The group recently developed software allowing people with the know-how to craft so-called “deepfake” news articles, The Guardian reported (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/feb/14/elon-musk-backed-ai-writes-convincing-news-fiction).
“OpenAI has lots of co-founders, by the way, with most involved ones being our CTO Greg Brockman and Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever,” Jack Clark, the nonprofit’s head of policy, told TheDCNF, referring to OpenAI executives Greg Brockman and Ilya Sutskever.
Clark confirmed the LinkedIn founder stepped up his funding in 2018.
