What is also disturbing is that @Ian56789, a U.K. man, was not only falsely smeared by the Guardian as a “Russian bot” for critical thinking, but that his account was temporarily suspended as the U.K. govt and Atlantic Council labeled him as such.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00eJTLJGlmQ …

In other words, the UK govt, UK state and private media, and NATO’s Washington-based think tank Atlantic Council appear to join efforts to bully people with dissenting opinions through smears as “Russian bots” so as to discourage others from publicly engaging in critical thought.

And, of course, accusing a well-known and *Twitter-verified* Syrian-Australian social-media personality
@Partisangirl of being a “Russian bot” is sloppier than Skripal’s miraculous recovery from a deadly military-grade nerve agent.

Another relevant aspect of UK’s targeting of specific Twitter users as “Russian bots” is that by and large these users do not criticize UK’s domestic politics and way of life, but rather focus on its foreign policy and on int’l relations in general which affect much of the world.

“The accused” of being “Russian trolls” (enemies of the state) get the chance for an interrogation on television for the benefit of infotainment: a Postmodern version of a showtrial-lite.https://twitter.com/alibunkallsky/status/987440684868210690?s=21 …

That
#BBC smear piece is simply outrageous.@haloefekti is definitely NOT a Russian troll or bot. I've followed her for quite sometime because of her critical thinking skills & other issues. If she's a Russian bot then EVERYONE who deviates from#MSM narrative will be targeted.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I never heard of Sarah, until I came across the BBC article. It's so nice of them to save me the time and effort of finding and vetting independent journalist on my own. Following now! :)

Sarah is great. I have messaged her twice (and I do not know her at all outside of Twitter) and she has responded to my questions. Way more open than any news source. Her analysis is flawless. Every smear piece by MSM just shows me who to support!
