Kola is the nutjob chemmie who got banned from Carnicom's forum and who has an extensive history of making outrageous, troll posts. He has said in the past that he is a chiropractor from Colorado who is against vaccines and is a big fan of Ron Paul. The truth is he is in all likelihood a 25 to 35 year old astroturfer from Colorado who gets paid to woo the left with rightwing propaganda. Is Kola really a two bit actor working for the dark side? Think Willis Carto and Michael Rivero. That is the kind of bullshit that Kola the troll represents.
Basically I was looking into Lou Aubuchont, whether he has a sock puppet named Stitcherman, when I came across a username named Kolanos at Digg.
It is a right woos left bullshit website, a kinder and gentler version perhaps of The Idaho Observer. The person putting it together says his name is Michael Kolanos. One can take a peak at that place and see how it lines up with much of what Kola is on about. {For those who are new to Kola, you can find his posts at DebateBothSides and Gastronamus Cafe.}
These are links one can find through Disgrunt.com, links right up Kola's alley.
The whois says the registrant is one of those anonymous domain proxies. Yet, it gives a contact address to Colorado, where Kola claims to be a chiropractor. Yeah right.
I went to the search engines. I ended up at youtube. I was shocked to find a sophisticated, disinformation video on election fraud. The actor in the film appears to be Kola!
I'll embed the video. Just in case it is pulled down, I took some screenshots.
There are many reasons why this can be considered disinformation. Everyone knows that the electronic machines are no good. They have already been outlawed by the Dutch government. There are, however, disingenuous "election integrity activists" who are pushing for worthless, paper receipts off those machines.
This video is shallow. It doesn't go much farther than the ratcheting up of emotions. The optiscans are no good either. But that is for another thread, perhaps for a different blog. The main reason this video is disinfo is because it refers to election fraud as voter fraud. Voter fraud is a limited hangout manufactured by the Republicans. The proper phrase is election fraud. In short, this is the same type of seedy semantics where the Democratic Party is referred to as the Democrat Party, but worse. Voter fraud is not that big a problem. If anything, the Republicans use this limited hangout to further disenfranchise voters.
But let's get to the good stuff. Is Michael Kolanos, Kola the troll? I will make the disclaimer that I have made the jump from the Kolanos from the Disgrunt website to the video. Yet, they do appear to be the same person. My final question to you the good reader... Is Kola the same person as in the video. I have screenshots of the "actor" for you to compare with Kola.
