Meet @kris_verma1984, a Twitter account that ostensibly belongs to a guest writer for the Sydney Morning Herald (@smh) by the name of "Kris Harrison" and resembles the now-suspended fake Guardian journalist account @jessica05181 in multiple interesting ways.

A google search of the Sydney Morning Herald's website for "Kris Harrison" turns up no content written by anyone named "Kris Harrison", and @kris_verma1984 has never linked any Sydney Morning Herald content whatsoever.

As was the case with fake Guardian journalist @jessica05181, @kris_verma1984 (permanent ID 1074631446067843072) was renamed along the way. Internet Archive confirms that back in 2020 it was named @addiaeeprint and its display name was "Maria Pia" rather than "Kris Harrison".

Most of @kris_verma1984's recent content is political. As with the banned fake journalist @jessica05181, this content includes cartoons critical of Guo Wengui/Steve Bannon. Other themes:

• NATO is ineffective
• aid to Taiwan is bad
• the two US political parties are the same

Just like fake @Guardian reporter @jessica05181, @kris_verma1984 got a lot of followers via the "Round Year Fun" apps ("My Twitter Family" etc), which force their users to follow customers of follower sales site realactivefollowers(dot)com.
