Psychological Operations, or PsyOps require a lot of digital resources. Every so often I feature a small sock account that one of the networks uses. This one is tiny, almost empty, yet interesting enough for a post.
First looking at this fake account’s likes, with 18 listed yet only 6 remain, these three stick out.
The first two are part of the network. The bottom one, I had to click on to get the context of why it was liked.
Susan Portnoy and Louise Mensch came up with a rabbit hole of sorts, meant to deflect negative attention for what Portnoy was doing onto Cassandra Fairbanks, a woman who went to the same High School as Matt Donovan AKA amagicwindow, works at TimVerse where Rocco Castoro did, and at Sputnik where Joe Fionda had.
Look again at that second screenshot of Badds. Those were by KassandraSeven who is Susan Portnoy. Also note that the Profile pic of a painting at that time of Susan bears quite the resemblance to the Susan Portnoy herself, save the long hair. Sue has, to my knowledge, always gone with the short masculine hairstyles.
The non-deleted tweets remaining are inoffensive. Here are the unlucky 13 followers.
The 38 mostly single purpose hate accounts this sock followed include Ops KassandraSeven and 2022_Karma along with many of the same oft repeated hate accounts.
So what is the purpose of this account?
Because this account deletes most of its tweets, one has to look at receipts via interaction. These are found under a search to:@username. The results only go back to April 5, 2021 and are very sparse. Here is that one arguing over Big Tech censorship.
The next fingerprints were left on a thread over Cicada3301 and Cullen’s QAnon documentary Into the Storm.
Thomas Schoenberger is who Arturo is referring to stealing IP.
The account interacted with Fish, Brad Shuttleworth’s Sci_Intel account, and Susan Portnoy, always deleting. Here is one though that clearly shows something said, likely with malicious intent.
It doesn’t matter who operates this inauthentic 2014 minted nearly empty account, only that its purpose has been to operate in support of the network and then delete its offensive tweets to reduce risk of being banned.
