I’ve made the Illuminutty NWO chemtrail UFO mind control videos a bit of a hobby. I haven’t seen one that even comes close to making sense except for a meta-conspiracy theory: that says that the overwhelming majority of the thousands of channels on the above fringe topics are originated mainly but not exclusively by Russian troll farms.
And no, the Russians didn’t originate birtherism. Certain information is assumed. Barack Obama was the 1st President born outside the continental US. The T-Party took care of the rest. Most of it is likely willful ignorance. It is likely Trump didn’t actually believe any of the birther crap he spouted. IOW, drumroll, he lied. Can I prove it? No. It was disinformation.
A few months ago Eric Schmidt made a statement mentioning Russian troll farms jamming up the Internet and social media. Probably too diplomatic to say that YT is their main focus. He ran Google and YT.
The reason for making so many of these videos seems to go like this: through shear volume and numbers you can make enough BS videos and comments with a common theme which, despite their shear lunacy, are able to reenforce and multiply existent beliefs and distrust in government and sneak it into the larger culture for big effect. The videos in question are big on CIA MKULTRA COINTELPRO FBI programs which means the videos cherry pick and manipulate paranoia which is mainly aimed at the US.
And to confuse things even more you have an American NSA contractor named Snowden currently living in Russia.
Which means troll teams have enough money to manufacture doubt about everything, distrust in facts, reason and objective reality. While substituting their own when convenient. Also, every good lie has a hint of truth about it. A common formula is to combine lunacy with reasonableness. A common feature with Glenn Beck and right wing preachers on RWW who, for example, read scripture about killing gays but then claim to be too high minded compassionate to advocate doing so outright. Fear and doom coming and going.
You have media friendly psychiatrists who actually get away with saying these videos are by and for ppl with delusional and or paranoia. That sounds reasonable on its surface. Some are. And which therapeutic professional is going to risk saying that most are by ppl who are very sane? By people either imitating psychosis, or very officious with a full bookshelf behind them or with MD scrubbs on Alex Jones talk shows. Are they all working for the Russians? No, they’re selling books and DVD’s. They’re selling disinformation and know it. IOW, lots of ppl are lying. There are ppl who are true believers in false information, ppl who are insane, but IMO 95% of the ppl I’m talking about are sane liars.
