Disinformation Experts or Controlled Opposition
A Series on Misinformation, Disinformation and Subterfuge
This caught my attention because it’s a triple play of disinformation purveyors. Bueno lied about Bouzy’s Spoutible then attempted to defame him weaponizing misogyny with a false undated claim of impropriety insinuating it was recent. Bouzy shared the full congenial 2020 conversation exposing her as an outright fraud. The subtweet is Glen Greenwald, a known asset still capable of disinformation muling with the caveat of his getting a Pulitzer over spreading Russian Fifth Column narratives gleaned from hacking and Wikileaks.
Remi Barrette’s entire schtick as a disinformation “researcher” has been exposed as an elaborate series of deceptions. These include the recent hack and dump of 400 million usernames, email and over 200 million with phone numbers, the Alfa Bank Trump Tower Wiretap conspiracy, a large number of runs of Project Birmingham variants and being in the best position to take down everybody else in this complex branching seemingly all PayPal funded criminal enterprise, should he flip. I especially especially admire how well Remi hid to the press he was self verifying his own datasets with his alt buddy account Zellaquixote.
None of these professional collaborators should amplify their counterparts on the opposite end of the Fifth Column spectrum. Yet they clearly do. Each attack on the other extreme causes both sides to generate a ton of impressions even without a bot net, algorithmically boosting reach on social media that in turn spins fake news cycles.
How do we shut down such Firehose of lies that come from such a deviant nexus of co-conspirators?
That may take the EU or other foreign governmental entities and press, not the US as so many of our systems are too slow, compromised or broken to staunch the attacks these bad anti-Democracy actors continue to deploy on a generally unsuspecting public.
