This is fascinating. Is this a classic psy-ops in action? And if so, who’s behind it? Qatar actually has an Emir. And he’s already here. And there are already protests. And guess what? There’s a trending (fake?) hashtag in play..

Smell a rat? Which accounts are pushing this hashtag? Can someone pull them?
And then there’s this...Bussed-in protestors paid £50 a pop..

I don’t know. Nothing is real. This is so clumsy & obvious...it looks like it’s being set up to be busted. Fake astroturfing? A double psy-ops bluff? Can someone else please figure it out because my head hurts..
Update. Adding this to thread. The pros on here say it is *that* obvious & clumsy. And the casting agency has now fessed up and named company that hired them. It's run by a French woman you can find over on Instagram.
2018, you're something special..
