Timelines for Various Yonder Connected PsyOps, Updated 11/14/22
A Series on Misinformation, Disinformation and Subterfuge
This is an informational product subject to change based on my own investigative knowledge thus far. It is known that each group was conducting a fairly large number of small PsyOps, or psychological operations, during these times, though only the more significant events will be included.
As more information becomes available I may repost an updated version of this with a new date in the title.
Note: QAnon is a fifth column building radicalization program that culminated with the attack on January 6th. It is part of the MAGA3x program Mike Flynn directs attempting to create conditions leading to a Civil War, strongly suggested to be funded primarily by Peter Thiel. While Yonder did not create QAnon, they provide support and amplification effects, a controlled opposition of inauthentic research and reporter assets that protect the underlying mission, individuals involved, and factual evidence from exposure. They essentially, protect the desired narratives.
TIMELINE
2016
March 1, 2016 Jeff Giesea, a Peter Thiel Fellow, publishes, “It’s Time To Embrace Memetic Warfare.”
July, Susan Portnoy, former VP of Communication at Condé Nast, begins Resistance infiltration Op, KassandraSeven. Remi Barrette, Bell, Canada employee, begins Resistance infiltration Op, Conspirator0, as a data scientist.
Early October, “Tea Leaves” a yet unidentified data scientist claiming to view internet traffic between Alfa Bank, Spectrum Health and Trump Tower, as part of his job conducting cyber security for a bank, claims to have found proof that Russia and Trump campaign are in communication. Louise Mensch begins work with a “patriotic data scientist” at the same time, Remi Barrette, using TrollFinder_Gen instead of his Conspirator0 account. This is the beginning of the Alfa Bank Trump Tower Conspiracy that will lead in part to the John Durham investigation.
October 31 Slate and Mother Jones publish pieces based on Mensch’s manufactured hoax.
November 4th, Pizza is added to the core Clinton-Epstein conspiracy pre-built starting at CPAC 2015, in response to the identity of Trump/Epstein victim “Maria” receiving a probable match, via a missing person case file sent to Lisa Bloom of a girl trafficked, last seen March 20, 1993 outside of Nash’s Pizza & Grocery in Waterbury, CT. Bloom sells that story same day to National Enquirer.
While likely not originating within Yonder, PizzaGate along with most QAnon narratives are actively supported by the company’s social media influencer operations, employed to do so generally via subcontractor status.
November 6th, 7th Louise Mensch and Remi Barrette generate two Heat Street articles to counter NYTimes debunk identifying that the DNS lookup data sent to Spectrum Health resulted in unsolicited spam, promoting various Trump branded properties. The easily debunked conspiracy results in public distrust of factual reporting regarding known links between Russia and Trump.
2017
Early 2017, Anonymous collective hacker Will Welna contracts likely via Mensch’s privately held company Forma Flos to work short term under Louise Mensch
Early 2017, Former Sputnik News employee and star of Hacker Wars featuring the Anonymous Collective, Joe Fionda contracts via Forma Flos to work short term for Louise Mensch
March 15, Louise Mensch publicly asks for a data scientist to help her look at Tea Leaves data instead of using the unestablished account Trollfinder_Gen she had done so before in October/November 2016. Remi Barrette, who is able to track and document internet traffic on behalf of his employer, the telecommunications company Bell, Canada, responds quickly and publicly manufactures a second data set on Twitter over the course of the next two weeks. Richie Guinn, a boss at Yonder according to Joe Fionda, comments on the work.
March 17, Louise Mensch publishes an OpEd in the NYTimes pushing for further investigation.
Mid-Year to December, Louise Mensch and Richie Guinn (counterchekist) successfully influence people to sign up for an App that automates blocking millions of people under false pretenses, dividing the left. Yoel Roth, who is second in line to head Twitter Safety, does nothing to prevent this platform manipulation and abuse.
October 25, Louise Mensch’s main account is suspended for a week after posting private information with the intent to harass, a process known as doxing, attacking Jeff Reffman
October 28, The first Q drop is posted by the MAGA3x program
November ?? Yoel Roth promoted internally to Head of Twitter Safety
November 4, Susan Portnoy’s (KassandraSeven) weeks long efforts to begin a Civil War via the Resist Fascist Op fails after insufficient Communists showed up nationally to clash with rightwing groups similarly recruited by other influencers.
November 5-7 Robert McNeese, a target of Louise Mensch’s attacks, commits suicide. Yoel Roth and Twitter Safety took no action towards Mensch despite her main account being primarily identified as abusing McNeese. Instead, Twitter purged almost all historical records of his account including positive interactions with his friends.
November 26, Louise Mensch’s Team Patriot deletes the Blocklist after successfully traumatizing millions. Yoel Roth, head of Twitter Safety, does nothing despite this clearly being massive platform manipulation with the primary culprits identified when the PsyOp ends.
December 7-10, Remi Barrette publishes three threads regarding Roy Moore being supported by Russia, citing manufactured evidence of 10K Russian appearing bots as part of Project Birmingham.
2018
December 17, the Senate publishes Yonder’s report on Russian interference during the 2016 US election. Renee DiResta, a Peter Thiel Fellow, led that research.
December 18, after tips, the mainstream press reports on Project Birmingham and the five Facebook accounts created to prop up a third party conservative to weaken Roy Moore’s election chances.
December 22, Yonder’s boss Jonothan Morgan banned from Facebook over Project Birmingham. Yoel Roth at Twitter failed to take action on any Yonder accounts known for their role in manufacturing 10K Russian appearing bots in the likely illegal scheme funded by Pay Pal Billionaire Reid Hoffman, a close associate to Peter Thiel.
2019
Feb-Jan 2020, Joe Fionda, contracts to work for Louise Mensch and Richie Guinn as a subcontractor to Yonder via a shell company, part time, 15-20 hrs/wk at $3.5K per month.
2020
Mid-year, Rebekah Jones begins to be targeted by a group of possible Yonder connected accounts, acting under the direction of Christina Pushaw, Governor DeSantis’s spokeswoman.
2021
January 6, US Capitol Insurrection happens as fifth column operation, yet fails to cause Civil War, ending the active phase of the QAnon operation.
January, social media influencer Douglass Mackay, is indicted for running the RickyVaugn Op in 2016 defrauding around 6,000 people of their right to vote by tricking them to instead vote by phone. Mackey is believed to have been working with an aligned competitor group of Yonder Inc., and has yet to have a trial date set.
April, Susan Portnoy and Remi Barrette join the ongoing influence operation with Pushaw, with Yonder manufacturing 10K Turkish bots, then purchasing 50K forced followers via the Year Round Fun App Remi was presently featuring on his timeline.
June 7, Remi Barrette bans Rebekah Jones remotely via Twitter Console, a computer program meant to remove bots, under Spam and Manipulation. An unidentified “Twitter Spokesperson” lies to the press to complete the fabrication the day before Jones enters the race for the Florida1 House race as planned. Christina Pushaw congratulates Susan Portnoy and Remi Barrette for their work.
Midyear-end, Yonder gets involved in the San Francisco School Board Recall with both Louise Mensch and Renee DiResta (currently working under the Stanford Institute) showing up on the Pro-Recall side. There is a major flood of Asian “Wencil Bots” using GAN generated profile pics that function to amplify messaging in the campaign. On the opposing side, Rocco Castoro led primarily Nicole Chenelle and Matt Donovan in doxing attacks against locals intimidating and interfering in their civil rights to vote and speak out politically.
2022
January, Remi Barrette uses the Twitter Console to ban researcher Jim Stewartson inauthentically, then creates a conspiracy involving API abuse as justification. Louise Mensch attempts to tie Neal Rauhauser and Libby Shaw, the latter which appears to have worked for Yonder in the past as well as dating Joe Fionda, to Jim Stewartson
February 24, Russia Invades Ukraine. Louise Mensch shortly after begins her Azov battalion Op, supportive of Vladimir Putin’s denazification propaganda, with the caveat of having plausible deniability when questioned about it.
March 25, Remi Barrette uses the Twitter Console to ban author and researcher Steve Jarvis inauthentically, then creates a conspiracy implying that posting a response including a link of a story to someone who they are a mutual follow with is spamming. Brad Shuttleworth publicly congratulates Remi for his work revealing conspirator0 had the long known about Twitter Console.
April-June, Louise Mensch runs the CanadianUkrain1 Op, promoting a stolen valor account purporting to be fighting as a volunteer in Ukraine. The account is finally shelved when incongruities in their statements and plastic equipment were called out.
April-June, Susan Portnoy conducts Men-Too Op attacking Amber Heard, Elon Musk’s estranged ex-girlfriend during the Depp-Heard trail.
May 10th, The Ouroboredom suicide trolling account using a cartoon man with gun to head avatar as its profile pic is temporarily banned for suicide ideation commenting on a local newspaper, telling someone to “I hope that crooked mf eats brick.” The account is quickly restored via a contact made within Twitter Safety. Later during the summer this account is forced after lock to change avatars for violation of suicidal images policies, changes to another suicidal image, then promptly forced to change via lock, adding finally a non-suicidal image. Essentially, Yoel Roth and Twitter Safety did nothing to remove the dangerous account, just had that account changed instead to be less obvious when attacking people, that it isn’t suggesting suicide.
May 19th, Using James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas, A Company in part funded by Peter Thiel, Elon Musk attempts to crash Twitter’s stock value via a series of catfish videos of drunk Twitter engineers on dates.
Beginning July 29th, Remi Barrette begins an Op to target and destroy BNN, Breaking News Network, owned by Gurbashk Chahal after getting identified as inauthentic. Erin Gallagher, Louise Mensch, Will Welna, Barrett Brown, Susan Portnoy, Matt Donovan and others all swarm, proving they still work as a team unit. Remi removes over 200+ verified accounts and uses an “anonymous twitter spokesperson” to tell the press in advance he will be removing these one by one.
August 29, Philippine fugitive suicide trolling pioneer GamerGate founder Fred Brennan is permanently banned for 6 hours, restored once US Twitter Safety was awake.
August 30, HELLMNOP is locked for three minutes for suicide ideation attacks, getting the account restored promptly. This account identifies as Yonder, having a sparkly pink avatar, supporting Susan Portnoy’s hashtag movement.
October, Remi Barrette removes more BNN accounts, a verified Charity and verified non-profit of Chahal’s.
October 28, Elon closes Twitter acquisition deal. Susan Portnoy, Matt Donovan and others, conduct Twitter Safety Influence Op, mass reporting mostly Bot accounts using racist slurs AFTER Twitter had removed moderation tools for 99% of all staff. Accounts are promptly banned, likely by Remi Barrette who maintains an active Twitter Console. Most individuals were receiving automated rejection notices for reports at the same time.
November 1, Former Yonder employee, Renee DiResta issues report on behalf of Musk, now working for the Peter Thiel connected Stanford Institute.
