Donald is ACTIVELY promoting Russian propaganda. Here's proof. : Fuckthealtright

Authored by reddit.com and submitted by DivestTrump

Hey! I told reddit I have proof of Russian propaganda on The_Donald and I'm here to deliver.

Use judgment before you click any links.

Group 1 - Internet Research Agency / "USA Really"

Recently, a very The_Donald looking website started showing up (geotus.army) almost exclusively on The_Donald. "GEOTUS" is a phrase T_D uses frequently to refer to Trump being "God Emperor of the United States" because cult. After my previous post, they have switched to using another (similar) domain (geotus.band). The domain is registered and hosted in America, so naturally this must be safe to click and upvote, right? After clicking, you might notice all the links redirect to another website (usareally.com). "USA Really" is registered and hosted in Russia. So what gives? If you go directly to geotus.army or geotus.band you'll see it's a link shortener service hosted by rebrandly.co. There are plenty of reasonable uses for link shortener services, but mostly you'll find spam and sites evading bans. So why would USA Really need to use this service? If you look at their about section, they conveniently link to their LinkedIn page. Wait, who's running this site? Alexander Malkevich, you know, the guy that works for Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Russian billionaire known as "Putin's chef" currently under indictment by Robert Mueller for running the Russian troll farm Internet Research Agency (IRA). So, that innocent-sounding "American" website is actually Russian state propaganda, but big deal, there's only a few links. That's because their previous website was shut down and it has a ton of links targeting The_Donald. This is just the next iteration.

It's not just reddit, here they are on other platforms:

I found another group of Russian propaganda sites I feel is worth investigating. I have no proof they're state-sponsored, but what is clear is that they are propaganda and they are Russian.

Site executives/founders are Russian nationals and have worked for Russian state-controlled media outlets.

Known Russian twitter and reddit accounts frequently share links from the sites real-time.

Content follows Russian propaganda hashtag trends consistently.

Shell companies based in Cyprus with shady PO box address in California are majority owner.

They haven't specifically said they're Russian state-sponsored propaganda.

They run ads and a store. Idk, just seems odd.

All funnel to the most successful domain in the group:

They share the same adsense ID as a seemingly abandoned site:

I provide no warranty these sites are Russian, but they do look shady af.

TL;DR: Over a thousand propaganda submissions from Russian groups, spanning several years, primarily targeting the extremist, hate group The_Donald, which reddit still hasn't banned.

You really should shoot this over to the NYT. They put out an ask for reports of how Reddit was being influenced

Edit: Because this is top comment - has anyone submitted/know how to submit? I've emailed the NYT and messaged them the link on FB messenger... I cant seem to find the post where they were asking for evidence of influence.

Edit #2: Please email [email protected] for submitting a tip along with /u/who-tells-you-why comment. Also thank you for the gold. But please donate money to competent politicians looking to unseat other unfit politicans! Remember to vote!!!

Edit # 3: Here's the link to NYT's ask for political disinformation schemes on social media. If you or others know about activities on Reddit or other social media please let them know https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/17/technology/disinformation-tipsheet.html

Wow, interesting. It's surprising sometimes how poorly tracks are covered.

I hope the reddit admins are made to acknowledge this.
