ShareBlue (CorrectTheRecord) Data Dump/OSINT - Part OnesteemCreated with Sketch.

in #informationwar6 years ago (edited)

One of the points we make in Information War is to understand the bias of the information that you are analyzing. A second point is that we should try to recognize and expose organized sources of disinformation.

One of the biggest sources of disinfo on the net is ShareBlue, a open source network of Leftist talking point distribution.

I'll start by compiling data presented in this /pol thread, and add additional information:
What is ShareBlue? CTR?
and archived here

Correct The Record is a strategic research and rapid response team designed to defend Hillary Clinton & Democrats from attacks online. It has received significant criticism due to its shilling and astroturfing premises. These people were here during election time.

After their defeat, they were revived and re-branded as ShareBlue. They flat out plan to mobilize resources to take down the President. They state repeatedly a goal to impeach him and snuff out any right-wing discussion online, conspiring against the President and government.

Who is Brock?

Wiki Page
Also see the Wiki Talk tab:

The Nation has described Brock as a "conservative journalistic assassin turned progressive empire-builder", while National Review has called him a "right-wing assassin turned left-wing assassin", and Politico has profiled him as a "former right-wing journalist-turned-pro-Clinton crusader".

Interesting that someone that started out by attacking the Clintons became one of their most fervent lapdogs, ne? Maybe there is some financial link...perhaps?

National Review also suggested that while writing the book, Brock had been "seduced" by Sidney Blumenthal, a champion and friend of the Clinton circle

Brock certainly had hush money...

Brock paid former domestic partner William Grey $850,000 after Grey threatened to release damaging information regarding Media Matters donors and the Internal Revenue Service.

Brock claims that his turn to the Left was due to hostility towards his homosexuality from the Right. Seven years ago, Front Page, a site devoted to exposing Leftist corruption, had this to say:

Brock was “outed” not by conservatives but by leftwing journalist and New York Times columnist Frank Rich. When Rich’s malicious column appeared, Brock was defended by conservatives who rallied to his side. Even as an outed gay conservative, Brock was one of the highest paid journalists in the country – and by conservative sources. Far from being “anti-gay” as Brock claimed, Horowitz is the most outspoken conservative defender of gays. Moreover, the source for Brock’s “gotcha” remark categorically rejected the claim that Horowitz was anti-gay. Nonetheless, in Brock’s book the alleged anti-gay attitudes of conservative intellectuals, along with the sleazy ad hominem attacks on liberals, of which Brock was the master, were responsible for his political turnabout.

And the money link? Front Page Magazine continues:

George Soros and former Clinton chief-of-staff John Podesta helped Brock raise $2 million

Activist Facts for Media Matters

MMfA has received nearly $30 million from foundations since it started. The Tides Foundation is the largest contributors to MMfA and MMAN, giving nearly $4.4 million. There are undoubtedly close ties between the organizations besides financial support. MMfA frequently reports on the critics of Tides, but fails to mention that the foundation is MMfA’s largest donor. The line between Tides and MMfA is so blurry that even donors appear to be confused. In 2003, prior to the official launch of MMfA, the Stephen M. Silberstein Foundation even designated a $100,000 contribution to “Tides Foundation – Media Matters for America.”

Their disinfo tactics are fairly textbook...

What is "Dumbledore's Army"?

From the main link above:

ShareBlue / CTR / Brock are connected to a coup / subversion attempt within government agencies.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is without a doubt the single most important organization in the entire Deep State. The 7th Floor Group answers to them, and they have total, unquestionable power over all financial transactions.

Beware of the following Narratives, but remember that not everyone that holds these positions are disinfo ops:

This was a very useful post to me. I learned a lot from it that I could have, and should have, known already, but did not, because I eschew bilious drivel due to it's soul-etching effect.

I didn't even know Brock had been on the other side of the aisle.

I had never heard of Dumbledore's Army.

I reckon this revelation from inside their camp provides excellent fodder to counter the propaganda they intend to feed us.

Thanks!

because I eschew bilious drivel due to it's soul-etching effect.

and this is part of their game...to make politics and news analysis harder and more personally distasteful

Let's face it; politics is hard enough to analyze even when disinfo isnt inserted into it. Too many factors for easy distillation of cause and effect PLUS people hold different base values to make judgements on end results.

Add this crap into it, and folks RUN away from political discussion even faster

A very detailed expose on ShareBlue propaganda unit.

Well done @stevescoins.👌

Thanks, but about half of that came from the /pol link

and there is more to come ;>

Keep spreading the truth!
