Here are some links DUers can use to search for past and current Russian enablers on DU and JPR.

These resources are the DU archives here on DU itself and The Wayback
Machine on archive.org.

Here are the links -

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=archives&date=2014x1x1

https://www.archive.org


For the DU archives I have given January 1st, 2014 in the link above. You can change the dates by simply
changing the last numbers of the link. Example: 2018x8x5 will give you posts from Aug 5th, 2018. You can
search forward and backward through the years as needed.

I suggest looking for samples in anti DNC posts, posts praising Assange or Russian tools such as Grucifer 2.0,
those claiming the DNC has rigged elections, etc. Names of banned posters will be very familiar to long time
DUers and you will have tons of posts for reference. Very eye opening.

For archive.org, put www.democraticunderground.com into the Wayback Machine and choose the year and day. Days
that have a snapshot will have a colored circle. click on those.

Fortunately for the enabler hunter, a large number of archives for JPR are also available on archive.org. Pity that all those who thought that they had purged their past posts leaving no evidence were sadly mistaken but
as we all know...the internet is truly forever.

Put JPRs web address starting with www. into the Wayback Machine to find possible troll samples from this vile site.

IMHO, no one who supported the Russian hacking of the past election and the DNC has any right to post any attacks on primary candidates in this election.

So enjoy, or not as the case may be but happy Russian enablers hunting all.

Bookmarked for my next term on MIRT! And I'll pass it on to the rest of the crew, if they haven't seen this post.

6. Thx for all your work! Bookmarking

[MineralMan]

7. Sounds like a lot of work, and to what end?

I can't imagine anything that would justify doing that. You're free, of course, to engage in troll-hunting, but it just doesn't seem worthwhile to me.

[cwydro]

13. This.

Seems a waste of time to me.

I’ve spotted PPR or FFR folks before, but never bother to say anything. I find MIRT is pretty good at their job.

[fescuerescue]

8. I've never understood this extreme fear of trolls

And God forbid you have post count less than 1,000 lest you be a Russian agent.

Personally, I think it's more productive to just read the post and either ignore, or respond intelligently.

Yes we can put worry and time into trying to understand the posters past voting history, or in this case their posting history from years gone by. But if you do, who "wins"? The person worrying? Or the person who posted and moved on?

If the post is "disruptive". Click ignore and move on with life.

9. Then you don't understand what went down in 2016 n/t

[fescuerescue]

10. You think that Trump won because of DU Trolls?

You are right I don't understand that.

Here's the thing. Trolls have always existed. Online and in real life.

They -DEPEND- on your response. They become powerful based on your response.

An ignored troll(Russian) is a powerless troll.

[malaise]

15. He won because the elections were stolen

using a variety of tools including the spread of misinformation via trolls.
If you think shutting down DU on election night was accident, dream on.

[LanternWaste]

14. I think you're confusing 'fear' and 'concern' again. Two wholly separate concepts.

But I get it... stating "I've never understood this concern of trolls" would sound far too underwhelming.

[stillcool]

30. did you read the Mueller Report?

it's not just here, it's everywhere. And it's propaganda. And it works.

[ismnotwasm]

11. I can't remember, do you sign up for MIRT?

Because this would be handy I think

[WhiskeyGrinder]

12. .

[cwydro]

16. Lol!

Love this!

[ehrnst]

17. The link to the online analyzer is not working

The landing page is:

http://www.aicbt.com/authorship-attribution/

But not the link to the analyzer itself.

[revmclaren]

18. Sorry...will track down another link. NT.

[Gore1FL]

19. So let me get this straight.

If I want to, I can now search the archives for random keywords that I find offensive and decide people are Russians?

That's Awesome! Does it come with as Free Joseph McCarthy Decoder Ring?

[revmclaren]

20. Sorry, no decoder ring

but you can see all the posts that pushed the anti Democratic memes and pro Russian (and ultimately the pro Trump) talking points.

The archives are a wonderful resource for everyone to research positive and negative material on DU.

If it wasn't to be read, the admins wouldn't make it available to us. Well over a thousand DUers have used the link so there is an interest in previous posts.

But you seem concerned.

Maybe you should take a walk down memory lane yourself although by your response, you may have already done so. Some wonderful posts can be revisited along with some that can be seen as a warning of possible repeats of the past.


Have a wonderful day Gore1FL.

ONLY!!! 2020 and beyond.

[Gore1FL]

21. Feel Free to search for me. I've been posting since 2001.

Enjoy your data mining.

[revmclaren]

22. Strange response.

I'm too busy at the moment with work and political outreach to be worrying about people posting on DU.

Maybe another time.



ONLY!!! 2020 and beyond.

[Gore1FL]

23. Seems weird to start the thread then.

From McCarthyism to apathy in a few short posts.

[revmclaren]

24. Started the thread months ago

A thousand plus visitors visited my op so far so it has its place.

You can of course ignore it.

Putting me on ignore would solve your problem and your concern IMHO.



ONLY!!! 2020 and beyond.

[Gore1FL]

25. I don't care if I read your posts or not. I try not to ignore people.

This one smacks of McCarthyism, however. I called that out. Should the need arise again, I will do so again.

[TwilightZone]

26. The thread is from September.

You're the one who bumped it.

[Gore1FL]

28. That's weird.

I sort by most rec'd in the last 6 hours when I look for threads at DU. I don't know how this made it into the list.

[Gore1FL]

27. Responded to wrong post nt

[jberryhill]

29. You can also search...

For people who were critical of Assange and were attacked for it.

[revmclaren]

31. If you would like to, but supporters of assange

have forgotten all the support he had for the hacking of the DNC which also created false animosity against Democrats that also helped bring us Trump and the war we are now entering into, unless you agree that the DNC 'rigged' the last election.

Funny how some DUers seemed very concerned that past posts are still visible.

Interesting...
