    CNN has not confirmed when the Blacktivist Facebook account was established. The corresponding Twitter account was set up in April 2016, according to cached page records.

    "Black community welcomes you! We want to bring peace in life of our brothers and sisters!" the "About" section of the Facebook page read.

    One of the Russian-bought Facebook ads that the social media network is handing over to Congress backed Green Party candidate Jill Stein. "Choose peace and vote for Jill Stein," the ad read. "The only way to take our country back is to stop voting for the corporations and banks that own us. #GrowaSpineVoteJillStein." The Stein ad was first reported by Politico.

    A segment of that wording appeared verbatim on the Blacktivists Twitter account on November 2, 2016. "Choose peace and vote for Jill Stein. Trust me, it's not a wasted vote," the account tweeted.

    Both accounts appear to have been active as recently as last month.

    This is why articles written about random tweets from unverified accounts are journalistically sloppy.

    They invaded and occupied neighboring countries unprovoked. Putin kills opponents and members of the media. There's more but that's enough.

    Putin views the idea of democracy itself as a direct threat to his country and acts accordingly.

    I guess you simply hate freedom. GTFO my country. I would have died for that concept, and still would. If it doesn't have a value to you, then go spit on a veteran on your way out.
