Impfgegner = russischer Bio-Terrorismus! Auf diesen einen Satz werden wir wohl mindestens die letzten 10, vielleicht sogar 20 Jahre des Impfgegnertums vereinfachen können. In den USA gab es eine Untersuchung, über die der Guardian berichtet.
Ich nehme den Artikel als Beweisstück zu den Akten.

Bots and Russian trolls spread misinformation about vaccines on Twitter to sow division and distribute malicious content before and during the American presidential election, according to a new study.
Scientists at George Washington University, in Washington DC, made the discovery while trying to improve social media communications for public health workers, researchers said. Instead, they found trolls and bots skewing online debate and upending consensus about vaccine safety.
The study discovered several accounts, now known to belong to the same Russian trolls who interfered in the US election, as well as marketing and malware bots, tweeting about vaccines.
Russian trolls played both sides, the researchers said, tweeting pro- and anti-vaccine content in a politically charged context.

“These trolls seem to be using vaccination as a wedge issue, promoting discord in American society,” Mark Dredze, a team member and professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins, which was also involved in the study, said.
“By playing both sides, they erode public trust in vaccination, exposing us all to the risk of infectious diseases. Viruses don’t respect national boundaries.”
The study, published in the American Journal of Public Health, comes as Europe faces one of the largest measles outbreaks in decades, one which has been partly attributed to falling vaccination rates. In the first six months of 2018, there were 41,000 cases of measles across the continent, more than in the entirety of 2017. Meanwhile, the rate of children not receiving vaccines for non-medical reasons is climbing in the US.
“The vast majority of Americans believe vaccines are safe and effective, but looking at Twitter gives the impression that there is a lot of debate,” said David Broniatowski, an assistant professor in George Washington’s School of Engineering and Applied Science.
“It turns out that many anti-vaccine tweets come from accounts whose provenance is unclear. These might be bots, human users or ‘cyborgs’ – hacked accounts that are sometimes taken over by bots. Although it’s impossible to know exactly how many tweets were generated by bots and trolls, our findings suggest that a significant portion of the online discourse about vaccines may be generated by malicious actors with a range of hidden agendas.”
Russian trolls appeared to link vaccination to controversial issues in the US. Their vaccine-related content made appeals to God, or argued about race, class and animal welfare, researchers said. Often, the tweets targeted the legitimacy of the US government.
“Did you know there was secret government database of #Vaccine-damaged child? #VaccinateUS,” read one Russian troll tweet. Another said: “#VaccinateUS You can’t fix stupidity. Let them die from measles, and I’m for #vaccination!”
“Whereas bots that spread malware and unsolicited content disseminated anti-vaccine messages, Russian trolls promoted discord,” researchers concluded. “Accounts masquerading as legitimate users create false equivalency, eroding public consensus on vaccination.”

Researchers examined a random sample of 1.7m tweets collected between July 2014 and September 2017 – the height of the American presidential campaign that led to Donald Trump’s victory. To identify bots, researchers compared the rate at which normal users tweeted about vaccines with the rate at which bots and trolls did so.

“We started looking at the Russian trolls, because that data set became available in January,” said Broniatowski. “One of the first things that came out was they tweet about vaccines way more often than the average Twitter user.”
Broniatowski said trolls tweeted about vaccines about 22 times more often than regular Twitter users, or about once every 550 tweets, versus every 12,000 tweets for human accounts.
Researchers found different kinds of bots spread different kinds of misinformation. So-called “content polluters” used anti-vaccine messages as bait to entice their followers to click on advertisements and links to malicious websites.
The study comes as social media companies struggle to clean their houses of misinformation. In February, Twitter deleted 3,800 accounts linked to the Russian government-backed Internet Research Agency, the same group researchers at George Washington examined. In April, Facebook removed 135 accounts linked to the same organization.
This week, Facebook removed another 650 fake accounts linked to Russia and Iran meant to spread misinformation. Researchers did not study Facebook, though it remains a hub of anti-vaccination activity.
“To me it’s actually impressive how well-organized and sophisticated the anti-vax movement has become,” said Dr Peter Hotez, the director of the Texas children’s hospital center for vaccine development at Baylor College of Medicine, and the father of an autistic child. Hotez, who maintains an active Twitter presence, said he struggled to identify whether Twitter accounts were human or bots.
“There are clearly some well-known anti-vax activists that I know to look out for and I know to block or to mute, but that’s a minority,” said Hotez. “A lot of it just seems to come out of nowhere, and I’m always surprised by that.”
Q&A
What is net neutrality?
One of the most striking findings, Broniatowski said, was an apparent attempt by Russian trolls to Astroturf a vaccine debate using the hashtag #VaccinateUS. Accounts identified as controlled by the Internet Research Agency, a troll farm backed by the Russian government, were almost exclusively responsible for content emerging under #VaccinateUS.
Some of the Russian trolls even specifically used a hashtag associated with Andrew Wakefield, the discredited former physician who published fraudulent papers linking vaccines with autism, such as #Vaxxed and #CDCWhistleblower.

The Guardian requested comment from Twitter and was referred to a blogpost in which the company said its “focus is increasingly on proactively identifying problematic accounts”, and that its system “identified and challenged” more than 9.9m potential spam accounts a week in May 2018.

Vladimir Putin is a hero!Posted by Putnam Groove

Vladimir Putin is a hero! Yes, he is. And the more I tell you about it, the more you will be shocked. Promised.
I got into this story by an episode of Rachel Maddow’s TV show on 25th. July 2018:

The White House Quietly Corrects Its Putin Transcript
After more than a week of questions, the presidential record reflects that Putin admitted to wanting Trump to win.
Uri Friedman
Jul 26, 2018
Leonhard Foeger / Reuters
Nine days after The Atlantic first reported that part of a key exchange between a reporter and Vladimir Putin was missing from the official White House transcript of the Russian leader’s press conference with Donald Trump, the White House has corrected the error. It made the fix after facing repeated questions from reporters about the discrepancy over the past week and, most recently, allegations that the Trump administration had intentionally altered the text. The White House now denies this, blaming the problem on a technical glitch.
The Reuters reporter Jeff Mason’s first question, “President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election?” which didn’t show up in the original transcript, now appears alongside his second question: “And did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?”
The full quote is critical to understanding the meaning of what Putin says next: “Yes, I wanted him to win, because he talked about the normalization of Russian–American relations.” (According to the English translation broadcast during the press conference, which is also used in the White House transcript, Putin responded, “Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.–Russia relationship back to normal.” But Russian speakers told me this is an inaccurate translation, and the Russian president was clearly saying “yes” to preferring Trump over Hillary Clinton—not to directing his government to assist Trump in defeating Clinton.)
Putin, in other words, was publicly admitting for the first time that he favored the Republican candidate because of Trump’s conciliatory approach to Russia, and therefore acknowledging a motive for meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election even as he contested claims that he had done so. The admission became even more significant this week, when Trump, who has long rejected the notion that Putin preferred him over Clinton, expressed concerns about Russia seeking to help Democrats in the 2018 U.S. midterm elections. “No President has been tougher on Russia than me,” he wrote on Twitter. The Russians “definitely don’t want Trump!” Putin’s statement only days earlier seemed to directly contradict that argument. He had declared, essentially: I wanted Trump.
On Tuesday night, in the wake of Trump’s tweet, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow opened her show by portraying Mason’s cut-off question in the White House transcript, and video of the press conference, as evidence that the Trump administration had deliberately edited out the context for Putin’s answer. As she noted, the omission was left uncorrected for a week without explanation despite The Atlantic, and then other news outlets such as CNN and NPR, highlighting the issue and asking the White House for comment. The goal, she suggested, was to obscure the truth about Putin’s preferences and Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election, and more broadly engage in “information warfare.”
“A critical exchange deleted from the transcript, a reporter’s question edited out of the videotape, the U.S. government essentially following the Kremlin’s playbook and maintaining that something we all saw happen with our own eyes, we all heard happen with our own ears, has nevertheless disappeared, like old political opponents being airbrushed out of photos,” Maddow asserted. “It’s creepy. Turns out it wasn’t a mistake. Turns out it was on purpose.”
Others soon argued that the omission might in fact have simply been a mistake—a result of the White House transcription service, like private transcription services used by some news outlets, missing the first part of Mason’s question because he asked it as a switch was occurring between the feed from the reporters and the feed from the translator. (The Atlantic noted the microphone and simultaneous-translation glitches in its report last week.)

Hearing Rachel Maddow on 25th July 2018, I had a flash of thought that Rachel Maddow had had a flash of insight. So I now tried to listen to the video clip very carefully. And I realized that she had NOT had that insight. But “The Atlantic”, in its article of 26th. July 2018, added some more facts – which make the whole scenario more complex.
Do note the difference between the two translations:
1. really happened:
“Yes, I wanted him to win, because he talked about the normalization of Russian–American relations.”
2. White House transcript:
“Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.–Russia relationship back to normal.”
.
Now, many translators, especially live translators, are a pest. Even a high-school student in many situations can do it better than they do. In this case, yes, there is a difference, but the real essence is “yes, I wanted him to win” (for whatever reasons…).
I use a large quote of the article of “The Atlantic”, because it shows how complicated and complex things are, or can get. This is essential to realize.
.
Now to the real background, to the real story behind all that:
Vladimir Putin is a hero!
Yes, Vladimir Putin is a hero. There can be no doubt about it. Details come into sunlight slowly, one after the other. One being that Putin DID interfere with the US elections in 2016. And not only that! He had begun years earlier with his intelligence work.
Vladimir Putin had been the head of the Russian secret service, the KGB. He had had the training on the job, and it brought him to the top. He knows his profession. He knows it well, and so he began to do what is written in the handbook of the intelligence agencies since the time of Metternich and the Vienna Congress: he destabilized.
I have no doubt that many disturbing things going on in many countries are fueled by Russian agents. Why? Just to destabilize. That is a key element of intelligence warfare.
So we can be sure that the right-wing groups are fueled by intelligence agencies. And the organized crime “Scientology” is fueled by intelligence agencies. And the anti-vax movement is fueled by intelligence agencies. Just in order to destabilize.
It is as easy as that. It is the very basics of intelligence work.
And Vladimir Putin had been the head of the Russian intelligence. He is no genius. He only followed the handbook. He did his job. And Trump did what he was paid for.
Putin had begun his activities years ago. And he had enabled Donald Trump. The question is: WHY!?
Why on earth should Putin bring an idiot like Donald Trump into the White House office?
Very simple: Because Trump is an idiot. Trump can be handled like a puppet on a string. And the Republicans, which at some time might even have been a political party, is a shambles. To foul that up is easy.
So, the first step is to infiltrate and to enable certain people.
So far this all is comprehensible. Now comes the critical part: OVERDO IT!
The Russian activities targeted people who are, politely said, not the very brightest. Not the brightest. Not the brightest at all. So, deliberately pushed – or not (we don’t know) -, the whole inflated Trump gangster organization is doomed to collapse. The media will report about that globally. And the guy pulling the wires is… Vladimir Putin. He is a villain, but he is a successful villain. He is the super-villain. He is a hero.
Putin achieved what no one achieved before: to get an idiot into the White House and let him run havoc. Putin did that. Putin is a hero.
.
But the story does not end here. No, here the real story just begins!
What did Putin do?
* Establish an idiot into the White House.
* Let it leak into the media.
Trump is doomed. We don’t know when Trump realized that. But I am sure that Trump by now knows what HIS PART is in the game.

This is, this exactly is what I had thought that Rachel Maddow had realized. But, alas, she didn’t. She did not realize that Vladimir Putin is after the Democrats. They are his real prey, from the very beginning.
After having ruined the Republicans completely, Trump gangsters being in Jail or bailed out by the Russians, who will be the next group in power at the White House: The Democrats.
Now, let’s make a guess. Just a very simple one. If Vladimir Putin was able to infiltrate into the Republican Party, wouldn’t he also have been able to infiltrate into the Democratic party?
You can bet on that.
Vladimir Putin is no genius. It is all written in the handbook of intelligence!
So, whatever will happen in the future, who are Putin’s puppets with the Democrats?
.
Oh, would somebody please tell Rachel Maddow? Just in case…
