Federal government routinely hires internet trolls, shills to monitor chat rooms, disrupt article comment sections

(NaturalNews) You've probably run into them before -- those seemingly random antagonizers who always end up diverting the conversation in an online chat room or article comment section away from the issue at hand, and towards a much different agenda. Hot-button issues like illegal immigration, the two-party political system, the "war on terror" and even alternative medicine are among the most common targets of such attackers, known as internet "trolls" or "shills," who in many cases are nothing more than paid lackeys hired by the federal government and other international organizations to sway and ultimately control public opinion.
Several years ago, Canada's CTV News aired a short segment about how its own government had been exposed for hiring secret agents to monitor social media and track online conversations, as well as the activities of certain dissenting individuals. This report, which in obvious whitewashing language referred to such activities as the government simply "weighing in and correcting" allegedly false information posted online, basically admitted that the Canadian government had assumed the role of secret online police. At the time, this was a great unknown to the general Canadian public.
You can view this CTV News segment here:

Of course, the same type of online patrolling by the government is also happening in the U.S., particularly from the CIA and its infamous In-Q-Tel program. At a 2012 summit, former CIA director David Petraeus essentially admitted that the CIA has a covert online presence that it uses not only for data mining purposes but also to infiltrate online conversations for the purpose of protecting "national security" interests. Such interests, it turns out, include disrupting conversations that discuss topics like 9/11 truth, for instance, or U.S. involvement in giving weapons to Syrian rebels.
According to Occupy Corporatism, the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), which was recently exposed by American hero and whistleblower Edward Snowden for its illegal surveillance programs, has devised a training program that literally scouts out hackers from American colleges and universities and recruits them to work for the government. Among the many duties sought from those enrolled in the National Centers of Academic Excellence in the Cyber Operations Program are "collection, exploitation, and response" activities to take place in the online environment.
"These 'cyber operators' are trained to become an elite team of 'computer geniuses' that are experts in computer hacking, digital communications, cyber intelligence -- for the purpose of spying on Americans, as well as conducting interactive digital psy-ops with users of the internet," explains Occupy Corporatism about the program.
You can view the actual NSA announcement admitting this here:

Alleged former 'shill' admits that trolling operations are real
Then there is the occasional confession by a former employee of the government who fesses up about what is really taking place in secret behind the scenes. A recent public posting on a "conspiracy theory" forum -- conspiracy websites are typically the most heavily targeted by government officials -- admits that individuals are constantly being recruited and hired by shadowy groups and government-affiliated agencies to manipulate online discussions.
"Shills exist," writes this anonymous ex-shill following a lengthy explanation of how he was hand-selected to pose as a normal commenter and basically lie on forums and in comment sections. "They are real. They walk among you ... You should be aware of this," he adds.
It should be noted that the alternative news website where this confession was recently re-posted was asked by the conspiracy website where it was originally posted to take it down, claiming that it is "libelous and utterly false," even though it does not name any specific names or identify who is behind these and other shill operations. When asked for an explanation, the conspiracy website in question simply stopped responding.

So, since there are many trolls and shill here today and I've been harrassed up the yin yang by almost all of them incessently AND THEY EVEN CREATED A FAKE LESBIAN VERSION OF ME (Rachel with a capital R) I made a list. Please, natural news, after all these whores have put me through, please don't erase the list (I left J Gohde off it
SO THESE ARE THE SHILLS: (intentionally misspelled) Marmajuute, Viic, Groweer1, Samantinaa, Startled MOOOse, Jessicca Wilson, Johhn, Raachel with a capital R (my new lesbian clone) and hamilton-99. I suspect more but these I know.
I will continue to expose all the PAID trolls and shills I see regardless of how much they spit on me and personally target me. I am a person. They are paid shills. Shills work for the ENEMY. SHILLS ARE THE ENEMY.

This is true. This is part and parcel of modern military PSYOP techniques (more recently called Information Support Operations, in an attempt to obfuscate their true nature and to be more politically correct...) though I'm sure these types of operations are largely conducted by domestic intelligence agencies and the like.
BTW, which "conspiracy" website asked them to remove the article? Was it GodLikeProductions? Anyone know? You talk about a site rife with shills...it's about as bad as Infowars. Damn near every article has droves of comments seeking to disrupt, distract, persuade, change and influence target audiences with the old gold-standard BS: "blame the N****rs, blame the Jews, blame the Christers, blame the left/right/dems/repubs, and on and on and on... Anything to keep people sidetracked from the real issue - certain factions within our government that have turned on their own people!

The anti-smoker industry has practiced this trolling, shilling and sock-puppeting for several years to demonize smokers and smoking. Unless you have closely examined anti-smoker propaganda, most of what you think you know about smoking will be wrong. This is the result of a decades long, very complex propaganda campaign to protect polluting industry, corporate profit and historic government and political incompetence. Initially it was waged in the media, TV, radio etc. but as the internet has grown, it has moved onto internet forums and is now used for all sorts of subjects where public opinion can be molded by propaganda - not just the anti-smoker agenda.
Here is a blog highlighting an article instructing anti-tobacco employees on how to deal with the internet threat to their propaganda -it has moved on since then and has become far more complex, but you should get the idea and understand the principles and morals they work to;

Now that the nudge squad is in effect, they are actually paying a little more and hiring people with degrees who can't otherwise find a job in their field. So where we used to get comments from imbeciles who could barely read or write, now we can at least have somewhat of a conversation with people who literally have nothing better going for them.

That is why I always ask them how much they sold their soul for. and what do they think when they look in the mirror. Do you realize you are creating this world for you and your family as well. Do your children know you are helping destroy freedom and liberty. a few of these normally shuts them up.

WOW. Could you really be any more ridiculous trolls?? Now your gonna make a "fake" rachel? She looks like a bit of a slut in the picture, don't you think? If anyone REAL out there still thinks trolls and shills don't exist--get a load of that "NEW" lesbian Rachel my very own personal troll flock made just for me. I must be pretty special for the secret agents to spend so much time on me. And tax money. I wouldn't get too close to me in person, trolls. My grandpa cut off a pedophiles peewee with a buck knife once because he tried to kidnap his daughter off the porch. I got a lot of my grandpa in me. But you're all too pansy to go face to face anyways. Cowards.

"A
Jew cannot be a true patriot. He is something different, like a harmful
insect. He must be kept apart, out of a place where he can do mischief -
even by pogroms, if necessary. The Jews are responsible for Bolshevism
[Communism] in Russia, and Germany too. I was far too indulgent with
them during my reign, and I bitterly regret the favors I showed the
prominent Jewish bankers." (WILHELM II. German Kaiser, CHICAGO TRIBUNE,
July 2, 1922)
"A
Jew remains a Jew. Assimilation is impossible, because a Jew cannot
change his national character or his nature. Whatever he does, he is a
Jew and remains a Jew. The majority has discovered this fact, but too
late." (The Jew Ludwig Lewisohn, in his book "Israel," 1926)
"If
you don't start NAMING your enemy for all the world to see, you stand
absolutely no chance in hell of defeating him" !!! ~ B C ~

What are the facts? Monsanto and the other big ag-biotech companies have developed reliable, biologically insect-resistant and herbicide-tolerant commodity crops that benefit people, farmers and the environment, and are nutritionally identical to their non-GM counterparts.
GM insect-resistant crops contain a gene that codes for a bacterial protein that’s toxic to an insect pest, but not animals or people. Insecticides are toxic chemicals that kill insects indiscriminately, both harmful and beneficial. They’re also poisonous to other animals—people included. Insect-resistant crops have reduced insecticide use. Biological solutions for insect pest problems were Rachel Carson’s dream.
Insect-resistant GM corn also decreases human and animal exposure to mycotoxins, highly toxic and carcinogenic compounds made by fungi. The fungi that produce mycotoxins follow insects into plants; insect-resistant plants have no insect holes for fungi to enter and therefore no mycotoxins.
Monsanto developed GM crops that tolerate a nontoxic herbicide called glyphosate, aka Roundup. Herbicide-tolerant crops have made a major contribution to decreasing topsoil loss by facilitating no-till farming. This farming method reduces CO2 emissions from plowing and improves soil quality.
Farmers don't have to buy Monsanto seed, nor is anyone preventing them from saving and replanting any seed they want, except for patented seed they've signed an agreement not to save and plant. Farmers buy seeds from Monsanto and other ag-biotech companies because their costs decrease and their profits increase. If they didn't, farmers wouldn't buy them again.
If the popular mythology about farmer suicides, tumors and toxicity had an ounce of truth to it, these companies would long since have gone out of business. Instead, they’re taking more market share every year. There's a mismatch between mythology and reality. Maybe it's worth remembering that technology vilification is about as old as technology itself. What's new is electronic gossip and the proliferation of organizations that peddle such gossip for a living.

"Because of the uncertainties and unpredictable nature of unintended effects, the Center for Food Safety recommends a rigorous approach for testing the safety of genetically engineered foods. The current voluntary regulatory review by FDA does not provide adequate guidance for safety testing and generally allows companies that develop genetically engineered crops to determine how they will test genetically engineered foods for safety. Even widely recognized harmful toxins, anti-nutrients, and allergens have not been consistently tested for in crops reviewed by the FDA. Such lax testing requirements and oversight cannot be relied upon to identify less predictable public health risks and must be substantially improved before there can be confidence in the safety of genetically engineered foods." - Doug Gurian-Sherman, Ph.D., Senior Scientist

In 2004 I saw a letter to a farmer who had applied for gov't subsidies and the letter from the gov't of Canada said that due to their SATELLITE IMAGING they determined that the farmer had x acres of this crop and x acres of that crop. If the satellite imaging was able to determine that in 2004, the technology has only gotten better.

Lots of shills and trolls right here on NN that trashes on good articles about GMO's dangers to our health. One example is an idiot that keeps saying that GMO's are "good for you" .
We can say the same about many other health topics as well. We don't have to agree with every article written here but common sense should prevail.
People that dislike this website have the choice to unsubscribe instead of continuously bashing just about everything said here.
I myself don't agree with every article posted but thanks to this website, I've learned a lot about the importance of eating the right foods and avoiding the dangerous stuff.
Keep up the good work NN.

Some of them HAVE to be paid; note the number of posts here that have nothing to do with the article but are just pro-big-government trolls, like the pro-GMO post above. How anyone can justify putting human DNA into food crops is beyond me, not to mention the horrific effects on organic life that researchers in other countries have been finding.
Example: Bees have been dying by the tens of thousands after exposure to GMO crops; one bee study discovered that bees were dying en masse during the study and the researchers found that the GMOs weaken the bees' resistance to parasites by weakening the intestinal walls. A study of pigs in Australia found the same effect in pigs. Makes you wonder what it does to people.

So where we used to get comments from imbeciles who could barely read or write, now we can at least have somewhat of a conversation with people who literally have nothing better going for them.

That is why I always ask them how much they sold their soul for. and what do they think when they look in the mirror. Do you realize you are creating this world for you and your family as well. Do your children know you are helping destroy freedom and liberty. a few of these normally shuts them up.

I call BS. There enough people with opposing views and enough people bored and having fun getting a rise out of peoples beliefs that the government doesnt need to hire anyone.

You do realize that the government has a way to quiet people. Look at what happened to Snowden, he had to FLEE the country out of fear of the government. You don't want to cross them.

WOW. Could you really be any more ridiculous trolls?? Now your gonna make a "fake" rachel? She looks like a bit of a slut in the picture, don't you think? If anyone REAL out there still thinks trolls and shills don't exist--get a load of that "NEW" lesbian Rachel my very own personal troll flock made just for me. I must be pretty special for the secret agents to spend so much time on me. And tax money. I wouldn't get too close to me in person, trolls. My grandpa cut off a pedophiles peewee with a buck knife once because he tried to kidnap his daughter off the porch. I got a lot of my grandpa in me. But you're all too pansy to go face to face anyways. Cowards.

"A
Jew cannot be a true patriot. He is something different, like a harmful
insect. He must be kept apart, out of a place where he can do mischief -
even by pogroms, if necessary. The Jews are responsible for Bolshevism
[Communism] in Russia, and Germany too. I was far too indulgent with
them during my reign, and I bitterly regret the favors I showed the
prominent Jewish bankers." (WILHELM II. German Kaiser, CHICAGO TRIBUNE,
July 2, 1922)
"A
Jew remains a Jew. Assimilation is impossible, because a Jew cannot
change his national character or his nature. Whatever he does, he is a
Jew and remains a Jew. The majority has discovered this fact, but too
late." (The Jew Ludwig Lewisohn, in his book "Israel," 1926)
"If
you don't start NAMING your enemy for all the world to see, you stand
absolutely no chance in hell of defeating him" !!! ~ B C ~

What are the facts? Monsanto and the other big ag-biotech companies have developed reliable, biologically insect-resistant and herbicide-tolerant commodity crops that benefit people, farmers and the environment, and are nutritionally identical to their non-GM counterparts.
GM insect-resistant crops contain a gene that codes for a bacterial protein that’s toxic to an insect pest, but not animals or people. Insecticides are toxic chemicals that kill insects indiscriminately, both harmful and beneficial. They’re also poisonous to other animals—people included. Insect-resistant crops have reduced insecticide use. Biological solutions for insect pest problems were Rachel Carson’s dream.
Insect-resistant GM corn also decreases human and animal exposure to mycotoxins, highly toxic and carcinogenic compounds made by fungi. The fungi that produce mycotoxins follow insects into plants; insect-resistant plants have no insect holes for fungi to enter and therefore no mycotoxins.
Monsanto developed GM crops that tolerate a nontoxic herbicide called glyphosate, aka Roundup. Herbicide-tolerant crops have made a major contribution to decreasing topsoil loss by facilitating no-till farming. This farming method reduces CO2 emissions from plowing and improves soil quality.
Farmers don't have to buy Monsanto seed, nor is anyone preventing them from saving and replanting any seed they want, except for patented seed they've signed an agreement not to save and plant. Farmers buy seeds from Monsanto and other ag-biotech companies because their costs decrease and their profits increase. If they didn't, farmers wouldn't buy them again.
If the popular mythology about farmer suicides, tumors and toxicity had an ounce of truth to it, these companies would long since have gone out of business. Instead, they’re taking more market share every year. There's a mismatch between mythology and reality. Maybe it's worth remembering that technology vilification is about as old as technology itself. What's new is electronic gossip and the proliferation of organizations that peddle such gossip for a living.

"Because of the uncertainties and unpredictable nature of unintended effects, the Center for Food Safety recommends a rigorous approach for testing the safety of genetically engineered foods. The current voluntary regulatory review by FDA does not provide adequate guidance for safety testing and generally allows companies that develop genetically engineered crops to determine how they will test genetically engineered foods for safety. Even widely recognized harmful toxins, anti-nutrients, and allergens have not been consistently tested for in crops reviewed by the FDA. Such lax testing requirements and oversight cannot be relied upon to identify less predictable public health risks and must be substantially improved before there can be confidence in the safety of genetically engineered foods." - Doug Gurian-Sherman, Ph.D., Senior Scientist

In 2004 I saw a letter to a farmer who had applied for gov't subsidies and the letter from the gov't of Canada said that due to their SATELLITE IMAGING they determined that the farmer had x acres of this crop and x acres of that crop. If the satellite imaging was able to determine that in 2004, the technology has only gotten better.

Lots of shills and trolls right here on NN that trashes on good articles about GMO's dangers to our health. One example is an idiot that keeps saying that GMO's are "good for you" .
We can say the same about many other health topics as well. We don't have to agree with every article written here but common sense should prevail.
People that dislike this website have the choice to unsubscribe instead of continuously bashing just about everything said here.
I myself don't agree with every article posted but thanks to this website, I've learned a lot about the importance of eating the right foods and avoiding the dangerous stuff.
Keep up the good work NN.

Some of them HAVE to be paid; note the number of posts here that have nothing to do with the article but are just pro-big-government trolls, like the pro-GMO post above. How anyone can justify putting human DNA into food crops is beyond me, not to mention the horrific effects on organic life that researchers in other countries have been finding.
Example: Bees have been dying by the tens of thousands after exposure to GMO crops; one bee study discovered that bees were dying en masse during the study and the researchers found that the GMOs weaken the bees' resistance to parasites by weakening the intestinal walls. A study of pigs in Australia found the same effect in pigs. Makes you wonder what it does to people.

Yes, I've got some "admires" after commenting about the guy who was confronting smart teenage GMO-activist girl on TV. I wonder if those trolls are from his support group. But actually it's just funny because this kind of activity obviously doesn't make any sense )
