www.theeditors.com/p/iran-paid-anti-israel-protestersThe director of national intelligence, Avril Haines, says the U.S. intelligence community has “observed actors tied to Iran’s government posing as activists online, seeking to encourage protests, and even providing financial support to protesters.” Haines made the disclosure in a July 9, 2024 press release. She said it was for the purpose of “informing the public of foreign efforts to influence our democratic processes.” “In recent weeks, Iranian government actors have sought to opportunistically take advantage of ongoing protests regarding the war in Gaza,” Haines said. “Americans who are being targeted by this Iranian campaign may not be aware that they are interacting with or receiving support from a foreign government.”

Russian and Iran are both big players in the "disinformation" game across the world but especially in the US.
Idealistic, populist, isolationists are particularly susceptible.

There are definitely anti-American people on here. You just wonder who is encouraging them or if they are even real people.

Don't kid yourself, there is a lot of disinformation being circulated in the US as well. Liberals are particularly susceptible.

The US is a big player in misinformation in other countries too. Wife & I saw Gorbachev a while back and he shared some of that, folks went nuts. Why wouldn't the US do the same thing?

I never said we didn't do the same thing. Just because we do it elsewhere, does that mean we should accept it here?

I don't know about that. I think it is a Jimmy Buffet thing.
My point is there is two sides to every story and to peg one side as more susceptible is ridiculous and partisan.
I do not subscribe to believing anything I am told by politicians or the media. I base my opinions off my own research and more importantly my own two eyes.
