Not a problem. I genuinely think that there are better uses for your time (because the adage of "don't feed the trolls" is always applicable), but at least this puts your motives into a better light.
God bless, and may the Peace of Christ be with you.
Today's Troll Watch includes specific IP addresses that have sent traffic to and from Free Republic this past week. It's a huge amount of data that gets captured so it's a bit of a challenge to sort it all out and identify it but I've managed to identify the following IP addresses and they are absolutely from the Russian Federation . Memo to the trolls: I'm watching you . 😈 5.178.86*77 194.190.76*41 194.190.76*44 94.100.180*197 213.180.204*90 141.101.196*233 151.236.127*145 37.18.24*16 Caution to anyone trying to play with these IP addresses is that they may also host malware or other active defenses that can harm or compromise your computers. Thus I have replaced one of the octet markers with an asterisk to prevent casual or accidental connection to these IP addresses. That is all.
In the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine earlier this year I started tracking troll activity on Free Republic. This is because of so many accounts having a noticeably synchronized set of narratives, buzzwords, insults, and tactics. All of which I have detailed in previous pages of this blog. And I started keeping a list of the accounts that 1) demonstrated the above characteristics and 2) did not give me any reason to exclude them from the list. It didn't mean they were a paid troll it just meant that I had no reason to remove them from my watchlist. Case in point is AAABEST (Since Mar 21, 1998). He's an asshole. Yes, he's pro-Putin and pro-Russia but he's also such an asshole that while the Russians might be thieving, raping, murdering ghouls I still won't blame them for the sheer assholery this cretin publishes every day. I don't think he's a troll, he's just an asshole. But back to my list. There's mostly accounts involved with Russi...
Yesterday it would appear that JonPreston complained about my demand that Jon either produce proof of his lie that I have claimed "stolen valor" (a Federal crime) or that he apologize. The Admin Moderator posted on the public forum for me to "Knock it off" and I obliged. This morning I put up the following post of chatter I heard from a buddy in DC: In today’s Chatter and Unconfirmed Rumors: 1. Russian Army 20th Mechanized Division HQ (Volgograd, Volgograd Oblast) reported an explosion severe enough that communications to the HQ were impacted. There was an immediate downstream impact as communications to the 944th Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment, 358th Anti-Aircraft Missile Regiment, 428th Separate Tank Battalion, and 487th Separate Anti-Tank Artillery Battalion were down for several hours. Indications are that the explosion was a deliberate act of sabotage. 2. Satellite pictures from earlier today show the Antonovsky Bridge is now useless for all but foot traf...
