While Matt Taibbi is making stuff up about Twitter being run by out of control libs, the real story is that @GenFlynn built QAnon here for 4 years, turned it into the Big Lie, and then pointed it at the Capitol.

Twitter knew.

Twitter watched and did nothing as the guy who ran Q’s website, 8chan, added 500k followers in three months by promoting the Big Lie and being inauthentically boosted by a large network of QAnon propagandists.

Ron Watkins also paid people to go to 1/6. In the open. On Twitter.
Over two weeks before the insurrection, Ron Watkins and a large network of QAnon celebrities were loudly funding and organizing caravans of radicalized cult members to go to Washington DC.

They did it right on Twitter. Their intentions were clear.

🧵 Twitter, like most “social media,” was built by objectivist sociopaths who saw it as a way to manipulate and control people at scale.

For many years, Twitter operated with a veneer of moderation while underneath it was always a psychological weapon.
#RealTwitterFiles
IMO, it is highly unlikely that w/o psychological operations on Twitter directed by @GenFlynn that Donald Trump would have won the 2016 election.

It was on Twitter that GRU cutout “Guccifer” connected with Roger Stone and Wikileaks, which released Podesta’s GRU-hacked emails.
It was on Twitter that white nationalist trolls took over the narrative and shifted it towards Trump through inorganic amplification.

It was Twitter where the MAGA3X psyop organized and ran its operations, and where @GenFlynn’s “digital soldiers” did most of their work.

Matt Taibbi wrote about coercing underage girls into sex acts while he was editing an anti-American tabloid in Moscow. It’s weird how all he does is comically transparent Kremlin propaganda now. 🤔
#RealTwitterFiles
🚨 Please note that @mtaibbi and several other Kremlin propagandists were given access to everyone’s DMs. Yours too!
Putin-fluffer @mtaibbi seems surprised that anti-Ukraine sentiment might be an indication of Kremlin influence because he is being intentionally obtuse for purposes of deceiving his tankie fans.

New Knowledge was a psyop shop funded by a former winner of The Apprentice with neo-Nazi memelord Peter Thiel employee Jeff Giesea, Renee Diresta and others.

They changed their name to Yonder which runs massive troll operations. For example, Louise Mensch.
#RealTwitterFiles
Yonder is a full-scale influence operation that takes money to “change the narrative” for their clients. This involves paying hundreds of trolls and internet terrorists to tear people’s lives apart. I know because I’m one of their targets.
jimstewartson.substack.com/p/hey-yonder-h…
Yonder is just one of these influence operations, but it has had a huge impact. For example the “Alfa Bank” conspiracy theory was created by Yonder contractor Louise Mensch and others to intentionally create chaos. And eventually, Durham.

So it seems that this fake Microchip account is internet terrorist Douglas Matthew Stewart, who has been a central figure in @GenFlynn’s active measures for many years.

He captains suicide trolls on the right, AND the controlled opposition on the left.
#RealTwitterFiles ImageImageImage
Doug was one of the first 4 people on the Discord server where “Q” started along with Microchip aka @JustinMcConney, @defango and James Brower.

Doug and his network of terrorists have been trying to get me to kill myself for more than two years.

Sorry to disappoint you Dougie. ImageImageImageImage
One of Doug’s primary weapons over the last six years of manufacturing trauma and chaos is this account run by a failed travel blogger from her apartment in New York City.

Doug followed her until I pointed it out last night and then he unfollowed her because oops. Image

📢 @KassandraSeven has been active measures for 6 years.

She is not a “resister,” she is a failed PR executive who decided to make money from chaos operations on Twitter.

For months, her trolls have sent this email to everyone I meet.
This is pure defamation.
#RealTwitterFiles ImageImage
I have catalogued over 20,000 tweets of her defaming me personally and overtly coordinating with the worst trolls on Twitter to not only attempt to discredit me, but to silence me.

She and her trolls took credit for getting me inauthentically suspended from Twitter and YouTube. Image
This account started attacking me in February 2021 as part of a coordinated effort to try to discredit me and my volunteer group that wanted to provide information to loved ones of QAnon victims.

She has been consistently defaming me ever since. Image

🧵 Let’s talk about “wedging” on social media.

Imagine there’s someone on Twitter saying something you don’t want them to say. Perhaps this is ideological, or perhaps you’re being paid. What do you do? First, you try to shut them up.
#RealTwitterFiles
As many of you know, I was banned three times from Twitter — the last time for a year despite never breaking the rules. Ever.

This was the result of a coordinated social media attack that included bad actors with access to Twitter tools, and influence on Twitter Safety.
I will leave the story of how I was banned and who’s responsible for another time…

Regardless, Elmo let me back on and also took the “moderation” tools away from bad actors that weaponized them. So they have resorted to a different strategy to reduce my influence. Wedging.

BREAKING: Kremlin propagandist Matt Taibbi does more Kremlin propaganda. Now it’s Angus King’s fault, I guess. 😕

“Comic Interlude” is a good name for Matt Taibbi’s career.
Let’s take a look at this dumbassery in real-time. 🧵
The Twitter Files have revealed a set of sophomoric Kremlin asshats who are doing everything in their power to use random corporate emails to pretend that the real problem is all the libs who think everyone’s a Russian.

Nothing else has been shown. At all.
No, there was lots of coverage of your absolutely transparent nonsense instead of the Kremlin assets who are pushing it and the insurrectionists in Congress who are helping you.

Stop whining, vatnik.

The first time I was inauthentically banned from this platform was for calling propagandist @joerogan “Steve Bannon’s gimp” on the same night @jack stepped down as CEO.

Here is Jack and Head of Trust and Safety Vijaya Gadde on Joe Rogan’s show with Pim Tool.

This permanent ban from out of nowhere for using a common word was so ridiculous and my friends were so loud that it made international news. 🥰

How does an account with 50k+ followers get permanently banned for not breaking the rules?🤔

Elmo’s psyop “Twitter Files” is now being played out in actual Congress.

On the hot seat is this asshat who banned me because he was cooperating with controlled opposition.

Yoel Roth is just a pawn in a much bigger game, but he gets zero sympathy from me.
#RealTwitterFiles
For over five years Yoel Roth oversaw the weaponization of Twitter by propaganda, psyops and hordes of coordinated trolls. He knew the threat from QAnon and did nothing. He knew 1/6 was coming and did nothing.

Since before the 2016 election, this company, Yonder, paid troll armies to change narratives on behalf of their clients, usually by running massive smear campaigns on people. People like me.

Thinking about doing #RealTwitterFiles to show exactly how this website was a central weapon in nearly every Kremlin-backed psychological operation over the last 8 years.

GamerGate, the alt-right, the theft of the 2016 election, QAnon, the Big Lie, the insurrection…
The intentional distractions about “Russian bots” are there to confuse people about how Russian influence really works.

In the lead up to the 2016 election, numerous Twitter accounts were set up as LARPs (live action role play characters) to play a role in manufactured drama.
These LARPs were set up on both the right and the left, because the point is to set the two sides against each other — to radicalize.

So the LARPs would intentionally fight amongst themselves and drag a whole bunch of bystanders with them into traumatic psychodrama.
