      Hired Government Internet Disinformation Trolls

      I have done a lot of arguing about Sandy Hoax and gun control on YouTube, and I started noticing that a lot of the same characters were popping up under videos about those topics. They are silly characters who are obviously there to insult people for expressing certain opinions. A lot of them ended up posting comments on my YouTube discussion page, and some people commented to me that those are hired government shills who spread disinformation by character smearing people who spread information that goes against shady government agendas. The screen names that seem to be very commonly used and are fairly well known among conspiracy theorists and gun rights advocates include 911sausageman, Twoofers Lie, Stu3100, ctcole77, and LudicFallacies. They are all over the YouTube videos about Sandy Hoax, 911 inside job, and gun rights. Most of them have revealed that they are very pro-Israel. I was on YouTube a little while ago to see if there are any videos about these characters, and I found this video:



      The comment at the top said that ctcole77 is one of them. People have told me that the account has been at it for about 10 years. I think these people really are professional propaganda trolls, and now there is evidence that the job does exist. However, the news story goes very lightly on them. The trolls are not there to correct false information. They are just there to push an agenda.
