New Russian Site Is Designed to Sway U.S. Voters

https://politicalwire.com/2018/06/02/new-russian-site-is-designed-to-sway-u-s-voters/

"SNIP..........

McClatchy: “A new Russian influence operation has surfaced that mirrors some of the activity of an internet firm that the FBI says was deeply involved in efforts to sway the 2016 U.S. elections, a cybersecurity firm says.”

“A website called usareally.com appeared on the internet May 17 and called on Americans to rally in front of the White House June 14 to celebrate President Trump’s birthday, which is also Flag Day… The website’s operators once worked out of the same office building in St. Petersburg, Russia, where the Kremlin-linked Internet Research Agency had its headquarters.”

Sounds like a good day to hold a giant impeachment rally to support the flag and country. A non- birthday celebration.

I visited it and found the "About Us" page. It's written in very odd English and packed with dog whistles.
