The Weaponization Of Bernie Sanders

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow exposed a fake Bernie Sanders supporters face book page that appears to have beens set up by Russians to discredit the liberal senator,

Maddow explained that the Russians are using information warfare to confuse, divide, distract, demoralize and ultimately defeat their rival.

The MSNBC host said, “When The Huffington Post did their dive on how Bernie supporters online got targeted in this Russia attack in part on a Bernie Sanders Facebook page called Bernie Sanders Lovers which says it is based in Burlington, Vermont. It is not based in Burlington, Vermont. It’s based in Albania, and nobody who’s not from Albania appears to have anything to do with that site. The important thing here is that Bernie Sanders page run out of Albania. It’s still there. It’s still running. It’s still churning this stuff out. Now. This is not part of American politics. This is not partisan warfare between Republicans and Democrats. This is international warfare.”

    Huh. But is it the Chinese, not the Russians, you ask?

    Well, I’m just living in China, so it’s not like I’m an expert in these things, but I reckon if the Chinese were setting up a front, it would be closer to hand, with a more convenient time zone, like somewhere in Southeast Asia.
