Conspiracists on twitter freaking out under #Assange hashtag

Lot of rumors of an extradition at this point.

It is almost certainly just conspiracy nuts doing what conspiracy nuts do, but would be interesting if related to Roger Stone's weird tweet today...

October 16, 2016

Why is Roger Stone threatening the Trump campaign?

This is weird.

Roger Stone
?@RogerJStoneJr
It turns out the entity with which I signed a non-disclosure agreement for the #Trump campaign was never legally constituted #invalid

Jebus Christ, is Podesta's Gmail STILL compromised?

https://twitter.com/pwnallthethings/status/786621649642598400

So someone on 4chan requested a password reset for his twitter (to be sent to his gmail), posted to 4chan and said if any of you are monitoring this gmail account, hack his twitter.

John, seriously, get some IT help. Your're fortunate your emails are so boring.

John Podesta is stupid with cybersecurity.

So his email was just hacked a few weeks ago and tonight his twitter feed was hacked.

Turn on your two factor authentication, John, please.

Rats jumping back onto the sinking ship



Nebraska Sen. Deb Fischer on Tuesday reversed her call for Donald Trump to resign from the GOP ticket, telling a local radio station that it's "not a tough choice" to back him just three days after she urged him to quit.
"I plan to vote for Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence on November 8," she said on Nebraska's KLIN. "I put out a statement ... with regard to Mr. Trump's comments. I felt they were disgusting. I felt they were unacceptable and I never said I was not voting for our Republican ticket."



LOL this is about as funny as it gets.

An interesting pattern in "deplorables" on twitter

Many accounts were registered late last year. But did not begin posting anything until on after February 27 of 2016.

It's like a switch got flipped.

Will continue to follow up.

Eichenwald update: Someone is DIRECTLY feeding Trump Russian Disinformation and Trump is repeating

https://twitter.com/kurteichenwald/status/785661547234271232

What is the relationship between Trump campaign and Putin that led Trump to recite Russian disinformation at rally


http://www.newsweek.com/vladimir-putin-sidney-blumenthal-hillary-clinton-donald-trump-benghazi-sputnik-508635

At a rally in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania, Trump spoke while holding a document in his hand. He told the assembled crowd that it was an email from Blumenthal, whom he called “sleazy Sidney.”

“This just came out a little while ago,’’ Trump said. “I have to tell you this.” And then he read the words from my article.

“He’s now admitting they could have done something about Benghazi,’’ Trump said, dropping the document to the floor. “This just came out a little while ago.”

The crowd booed and chanted, “Lock her up!”

This is not funny. It is terrifying. The Russians engage in a sloppy disinformation effort and, before the day is out, the Republican nominee for president is standing on a stage reciting the manufactured story as truth. How did this happen? Who in the Trump campaign was feeding him falsehoods straight from the Kremlin?
