It’s always fascinating to take a fresh look at an old psychological operation when new data comes up. When I found this old screenshot saved in my Elon/Twitter folder just days after realizing Susan Portnoy gave the full parameters of her job for Musk as targeting accounts spamming the N-word, I had to look.
First we’ll start with this post, which was made at 5:47 AM Central Time. Note that Susan who is established under website registrations made in her name as well as internal confidential sources as the Russian-American spy behind said account, is saying this before any main stream media reporting on her group’s deployed botnet.
Here was the next thing I looked at, the Business Insider article noting their source was The Network Contagion Research Institute.
I then went to the link, keyword searched 500% and pulled up the original source then noted the timestamp. This was the tweet being cited in both WaPo and Business Insider reporting meaning Susan Portnoy made her proclamation before there was any widespread awareness of her group’s operation that would then remove one account at a time despite console access being widely restricted.
That’s FOUR hours after Portnoy narrated the plan to specifically target N-word tweets. I won’t regale my readers with the full word, just noting that Yonder’s botnet of 300 accounts spammed the word repeatedly, 30x per message, driving up the impression count dramatically and as quickly in the reverse as Susan’s team via console removed one account at a time publicly.
The legitimate research group that Business Insider noted, has very few accounts it follows. One is notable—the fraudster Remi Barrette best known under aliases Conspirator0, Tea Leaves, Ryushi, ZellaQuixote which he likely shares, and other various sock accounts.
We’ll also throw this one in here because it ties in subtly something my more well-read readers will pick up on that isn’t as obvious.
While it could be argued that Portnoy knew because others within her network knew, she has a massive problem given only her group was able to report and get back violations found allowing them to remove accounts while death threats were deemed no violation found.
It’s also helpful that Portnoy destroyed ALL of her tweets while running this op for Elon. Very.
