The hashtag #ReleaSETHeMemo soared to the top of Twitter last weekend as conservatives raucously called for the declassification and release of the four-page memo on FISA abuses by the highest echelons of the government. The memo apparently exposes the DNC in general and former President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in particular as the primary culprits in the scandal. Hillary Clinton has already managed to escape legal reckoning for a host of criminal acts including the deliberate mishandling of enormous amounts of information marked at the highest levels classification, the rigging of the DNC primary against Bernie Sanders, and the sale of US uranium to the Russians. A growing contingent of people who have had enough of her criminal antics joined the #ReleaSETHeMemo bandwagon in an effort to finally lay all the cards on the table and call her out.
Twitter eventually removed the hashtag from its trending topics when it was still in high rotation. This caused a host of secondary hashtags as well as outcries of censorship. It was clear the left was losing control of the narrative. By Sunday 21 January 2018, damage control had to be called in.
Enter Hamilton 68 with its claim that “Russian bots” were responsible for the popularity of #ReleaSETHeMemo. If you are no longer a consumer of corporate media, chances are pretty good you have never heard of Hamilton 68. Its “research” generates the type of headlines that make leftist fingers go click, but for most conservatives, it is too much effort to get past the first three sentences without succumbing to the cringe.
Hamilton 68 purports to be a “non-partisan” internet research and data analysis outfit operating under the “thinktank” Alliance for Securing Democracy, or ASD. Hamilton 68 is the name of both the information operation and the dashboard (a visualized rendering of data sets) it often refers to in its findings. The operation started in the shadows of our current American-Soviet regime, soon after the unbelievable election of Donald John Trump to the office of President of the United States of America.
In other words, Hamilton 68 exists to stroke the egos of the losing side and protect the leaders who are currently driving the Democratic party to its now imminent demise.
As a data operation, Hamilton 68 says it uses sophisticated data tools to monitor what it has identified as a network of Russian or Russian-friendly internet users and their networks in relation to conservative or Trump-friendly online trends.
To put it another way, Hamilton 68 only monitors online conservatives and only analyzes them in the context of influence through “Russian bots.” This might explain why the organization has declared not just #ReleaSETHeMemo, but a whole host of conservative trends as mere manipulation by the Kremlin. Just one day after declaring #ReleaSETHeMemo a Russian plot, Newsweek quoted Hamilton 68 in an article on Monday 22 January that #SchumerShutdown was similarly powered by “Russian bots.”
