BugZilla & Conspirator0 "Meet" Erin Gallagher (Nov 2017)
A Series on Misinformation, Disinformation and Subterfuge
Not all the Ops were as joined at the hip as they are now. Here is a branching thread where Remi Barrette (Conspirator0) and his Waterloo associate ZQ run into Erin Gallagher over Antifa. It all starts with this, with Remi retweeting it.
Remi responds to the hashtag given by RT reporter, a Russian state entity, almost a month later, quote tweeting the above.
Antifa, resistance, team patriot…
Yonder had some competition for hashtag movement creation. While resistance and team patriot originated likely because of Mensch and Guinn, made specifically to begin divisions of those on the left, Antifa likely didn’t come from a MAGA3x think tank, making it harder for Yonder’s operatives to control the narratives.
Here is where Erin jumps in.
Vice reporter. While not exactly sure why that comment was made, Vice News has a plethora of reports regarding the rally and subsequent trial, while several of their reporters past and present push disinformation out on behalf of those funding the MAGA3x programs.
Remi is making a very subtle point, likely that because the journalist was RT, Russian botnets were responsible for amplifying this particular journalist over others.
Later Remi’s key fake “resistance” buddy, ZellaQuixote joins in, on November 19, reviving the thread.
Erin brings up Norteno, which Remi Barrette chose, not for its literal meaning “north” but for the Canadian Tango band he plays bass for. For the record, ZQ and Remi are not married to each other. Doing this implies she has studied them up for this “engagement” which has a truly inauthentic vibe to it.
Also at the same time as this thread, Louise Mensch’s “Patriot” BlockList Op meant to divide friends by getting them to sign up to an outside App that would auto-block more than a million accounts from a pre-created list. This is why Erin, who at the time was likely already an insider working with Remi and Mensch, would bother to bring up “the resistance” giving an illusion of teams one needs to join. One can be team Patriot or team Resistance, but not both because, “Mensch happens.”
Also note that Erin calls an RT guy a leftist journalist. Russia Today along with Sputnik are state media because they are proven to push Russian propaganda. Both outlets push far-right and far-left extremes, which relates to the horseshoe theory where the polarized extremes are closer ideologically to one another, than they are to the normalized center of the political spectrum. Erin is flat out lying on that one.
More often though RT, and Sputnik are on the far-right extreme. This research paper correctly identifies the political spectrum and ideology using Sweden as an example stating, the users surveyed were an “overrepresentation of young, men and supports of non-parliamentarian parties and the right wing, nationalist Sweden Democratic Party.”
People, like Erin Gallagher, tend to “forget,” in the US after the Civil Rights movement saw LBJ, a Southern Democrat, sign into law the Civil Rights Act, the mostly southern white Democrats became southern white Republicans. The parties switched political identities and platforms, while the racism remained mostly just below the surface waiting for a guy like Trump to rally around openly over white replacement, supremacy, and other illogical grievances.
Here is ZQ’s response, fifty minutes later.
This next Erin part is fun. Erin DOES use her real name as does Chuck Johnson, Louise Mensch, Mike Rothschild, Jared Holt, Chad Loder because they are the intended front facing disinformation mules.
Erin, for example, led Yonder’s first attack on my Twitter account, lying about me and her associate Susan Portnoy, attempting to suspend via mass reporting using their botnet, most of which I had detected and pre-blocked weeks prior. She brought in Ops Chad Loder, Jared L Holt and Mike Rothschild who all spammed the bejesus out of the attack, but to wasted effort.
Ah, Lisarexr.
That account interacted quite a bit with Louise Mensch during its one year operation, in the same role the racist Octopus_teach did. The account was lost likely by automation, acting out of bounds on a Fox News article August 13, 2018.
Erin also took a dig at ZQ.
Here was one “hidden” tweet from Remi, flagged that it was sensitive.
Rabbit holes. Another “hidden” tweet.
Yonder is ALL about the narratives.
One of the big takeaways here is how much Erin Gallagher here is promoting Russia Today, RT, where Alex’s disinformation was platformed. I imagine if I asked her about that she would slip and reply, “Nyet!!” Erin following his reporting for years, and actually defending him as a “leftist” is a big tell of how deep her own Op has been.
The second main takeaway is that Erin and Conspirator0 work closely during 2021-present, jumping in to defend each other that looking back on these inauthentic scripted explainer threads, one asks if their leader only understood British teenage lit formulated romance novels, as the various personalities maintained are too inconsistent to be believable.
