Teaching Native History is Russian Interference?

Teaching Native History is Russian Interference?
... Facebook is deleting "Russian influence" accounts again!

Again with the Chicken Little act:
  • When the sky really is falling and sanity has flown the coop, who will rise to save the day? Together with his hysterical band of misfit friends, Chicken Little must hatch a plan to save the planet from alien invasion and prove that the world's biggest hero is a little chicken.

NBC:  Facebook says it found new covert campaign to spread divisive political messages
  • Facebook declined to identify the source of the campaign but said it bore similarities to the efforts connected to Russia’s Internet Research Agency around the 2016 election.
  • Most of the campaign focused on left-leaning issues such as women’s rights, the rights of indigenous people and general resistance to the Trump administration, according to a sample of about a dozen posts released by Facebook.
  • One of the events was titled “Trump Nightmare Must End — NYC,” planned for November in New York’s Times Square.

Let me get this straight: the Russians influenced America to vote for Trump in 2016, and now they are influencing them to vote for Dems in the mid-terms?

Makes me wonder if Facebook has been working for Trump all along. Think about it: they didn't act fast enough to foil Trump's election win, and now they're busy deleting accounts that favour the Dems in the mid-terms.  And the Dems can't say, oh no, it's not the Russians because that would make their previous accusations against Russia seem false.

  • [Sen. Mark] Warner [D-Va] said he believed that Russia was behind the effort.

I guess you don't have to be able to think clearly to be a US Senator. Like "Climate Change" it's all a matter of belief, and if an elected official says he believes, then it must be true, eh?

Sadly, he has no choice but to blame Russia for everything -- even if the offending ads supported female and aboriginal rights -- otherwise he'd be admitting that he followed the wrong leader, that the complaints against Hillary Clinton were justified.

It all seems so complicated, but Warner's main objective is to re-win his seat in the mid-terms, and the Dems say the Ruskies are bad, so he's stickin' with it come hell or you-know.
​
  • One of the events in question was a protest scheduled for Aug. 10-12 and named “No Unite the Right 2 – DC,” counter-protesting a “Unite the Right” event in Washington scheduled for the same time, Facebook said.
  • Though the precise identity of the groups who wrote these posts was not made public ... they bear similarity to the Russian trolls who tried to divide voters in the 2016 election.
  • “They were hoping to instigate a conflict along racial issues,” ... “The Kremlin seeks to infiltrate audiences along any and all divisive social issues, then once the audience is won, push them politically.”

They also bear similarity to any call-outs by activists on all sides that I've ever seen. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the purpose of all election campaigning -- since the very first politicial campaigns --  to woo the voters into opposing groups?  And haven't they always been about social issues?

  • “The goal is to create fear in the audience that things are unstable and that democracy and its institutions are failing.”

Okay, Google "is America failing" and see if you find any Russians there.

Oh, this is cool -- Facebook has created tools to help members "manage" their time spent there:

  • "The new features come amid growing concerns from mental health experts and a vocal group of technologists about the impact social media is having on people."

Facebook is concerned about your mental health. Or else it wants to lighten the load on its hosting capabilities. You decide which.

Maybe it's concern for my mental health that is causing Google to barely list my blog - and those of other longtime, popular bloggers - in its search results of late.  Or maybe they worry I'm a Russian infiltrator.

I confess, I've always wanted to see Russia, perhaps due, in part, to being influenced by gorgeous movies like Dr. Zhivago, Reds, Anna Karenina. If I'm not willing to see the Russians as monsters, it may well be the fault of the media - a major source of mind-bending.

The Daily Star, for instance, tried to get something going between Brits and Russians during the World Cup (think of the headlines!), but Russia's tough guys said they were "bored with beating up the British".  See?  Russians are free to think for themselves!  (And, so far, so am I.)

"The new features come amid growing concerns from mental health experts and a vocal group of technologists about the impact social media is having on people."

If Facebook was really concerned about the mental health of people it would do society a favour and disappear completely!
That's not going to happen...
How would the NSA spy on everyone?

(I almost wrote fecesbook- then changed it, but then thought what's up with that?)

I'm wondering if this blame Russia stuff, at this time, has anything to do with the request for assistance to the US to aid Syrians in their quest to return home?

Yeah, maybe looking back we'd see that each of the "bad, bad Russia" freakouts actually coincides with something humane the Russians have said or done. Imagine: The roughest, toughest Ruskies refused to beat up the Brits and still retained their pride.

"Fecesbook". Freudian but accurate. Haha
