First this:
Facebook bans firm behind Turning Point's election troll farm
"Facebook has banned the U.S. marketing firm that was behind a campaign to disseminate deceptive political content on behalf of Turning Point Action, a political advocacy group for young conservatives with ties to President Donald Trump.
"Facebook said it removed 200 Facebook accounts, 55 pages and 76 Instagram accounts tied to Rally Forge.
( INTERRUPT - PAUSE - BLOGGER NOTE
Note how it sounds like Valley Forge (an allusion to history and George Washington in the faux absurd appeals to patriotism.
Rally Forge is a direct-marketing firm here in Arizona )
Rally Forge employed people who used use fake names and profile pictures while commenting on content posted by other users or mainstream media outlets, Facebook's head of security policy, Nathaniel Gleicher, said Thursday. The firm did that work on behalf of Turning Point and Inclusive Conservation Group, a hunting advocacy organization.
> More on the campaign: Facebook said it removed 200 Facebook accounts, 55 pages and 76 Instagram accounts tied to Rally Forge. Those accounts also spent just shy of $1 million on advertising, a figure that Gleicher said reflects all of Rally Forge's spending on Facebook, including ads not tied to deceptive campaigns.
> Twitter also taking action: A spokesperson for Twitter said Thursday that the social network suspended 262 accounts connected to Rally Forge for violating its own policies against manipulation and spam.

Ep 22 | Peaceful Protests Or Domestic Terror?
•Premiered 2 hours ago
When Americans have grievances with the government they have the right to peacefully assemble. Everybody agrees with that.
However, has what we’ve seen the past few months been peaceful assembly? This week, Benny Johnson investigates the protests that have occurred in Washington D.C. the past few months with one goal: to determine if groups like BLM and Antifa were protesting, or engaging in DOMESTIC TERRORISM?
SPOILER ALERT: when you're assaulting cops, hurting pedestrians, burning businesses and churches, destroying statues, and desecrating public property, you’re NOT being peaceful.
