We have shown you how a troll farm works & we have busted a few in our previous reports but today we will show you how these troll farms come into existence. How they are established & tested before being handed over to the actual operators. (1/5)
Phase 1: Origination
We have a list of 102 accounts, all of these accounts send their 1st reply to an account AnnaAmaury & in Japanese language
Img1: Max follower count is 4, while max status count is 800 rep. by node size
Img2: 58 accounts are created in Jan(2/5)@TwitterSafety
In the origination and testing phase these accounts only reply and that too to a particular account. All of them reply the same thing, giving a hint that these are bot operated. (3/5)
Phase:2 Testing for survival
These accounts are tested against the twitter surveillance that checks for suspicious accounts.
The troll farm is used to defame someone or to make someone famous and get high engagement in the testing phase. (4/5) @TwitterSupport
Phase 3: Hand-over
The accounts that survive from twitter and are not suspended are now handed over to their specific buyers These accounts change their bio and start to tweet & reply in the language of the region they are supposed to be operated from.(5/5) #FightDisinformation

How ‘Western’ powers are using the #Khalistani trope to create conflict in India, and why?
A story in Five Acts
Brief thread.
(1/11)
Act I: June 13: UK
Centre for Information Resilience (CIR), a UK Deep-State project publishes a ‘disinformation’ report– ‘exposing’ a handful of anonymous handles– recycling the #Khalistani narrative, seeding tropes of Khalistani ‘activists’ & ‘transnational repression’.
(2/11)
Last time, CIRs had ‘exposed’ 33 anonymous X (Twitter) handles – though not a single #fakenews: all the while ignoring large-scale anti-India #disinformation. To know about CIR, BBC, and Deep State, pls read ‘a Puppet Too Valuable’.
EXPOSÉ: Millions of $ funded to impact #IndianElection results!
Just concluded #loksabhaelections24 reported massive interference from China to Israel.
However, the most significant remains obscure – The Western interference: From EU to the US!
A thread:
These elections saw the most intrusive foreign reporting – overwhelmingly negative and obviously brazen. Tropes from the ‘Western media’ heavily laced with hyper adjectives and double standards forcing a meta narrative into the bloodstream of internet.
Like they were in a competitive mud-slinging tournament.
(2/n)
Some of these media outlets had tacit funding, and some were explicit, while few were funded by organizations with dark backgrounds of publishing slant narratives– e.g.– from stories based on ‘random WhatsApp groups’ to creating heroes out of Pak-sponsored stooges.
Sudden spike in news about ‘bad’ Indian medicine – from US, Gambia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka - and emergence of Indian origin American ‘hero’ #DineshThakur.
Story of biggest assault on #IndianPharma, aided and abetted by Indian media, particularly, The Wire.
A Thread:
In Dec 2023 Livemint claimed that the US recalled ‘bad’ Indian meds. It was a headline spin – Indian med was a fraction of US meds. But why the negative spin on Indian pharma? We were interested and did what we do. Dig.
What we found was beyond shocking!
2/n
In July'22 news came that several children died in Gambia bcoz of India-made cough syrup. WHO issued warning & news media screamed– Indian med killed Gambian children. The news was first broken by #Retures & #AlJazeera, repeated by Indian media.
An #ISIS module was busted by the NIA, headed by Saquib Nachan. Many would not know that Saquib goes back to the 1990s with Human rights ‘activist’ Bhajan Bhinder.
A trans-national - trans-generational strategy of bleeding India by thousand cuts.
A Thread: 🧵
The two ‘activists’ - #ISIS fame Saquib Nachan & #OFMI fame Bhajan started together in 1992, & have been working on a two-pronged Hybrid-Warfare against India – spanning three continents and four decades.
(2/n)
On Dec 10, 2023, NIA busted an #ISIS terror module of Saqib Nachan, and while his involvement in the 2002-03 Mumbai terror blasts is well known, he was also instrumental in a foiled terror attack in July 1992, identical to the deadly 93’ blasts, a year earlier.
In a long English word salad, a quarter dozen WaPo journalists in a hit piece have tried painting us somewhere between RW & RAW (no pun intended).
To do this, they recycled 2-year-old Pakistani propaganda, making it ‘ANONYMOUS.’
We dissect the ‘exposé’.
A Thread:
First, the claim of our association with Govt agencies/ RAW. The report is essentially a recycle of previous reports published by Pakistani ISPR/ Info-war machinery. The report is periodically recycled, last by known fake news peddler CJ Werleman.
Lazy Journalism!
(2/n)
The only ‘upgrade’ the WaPo did was to make this Pakistani allegation as ‘anonymous’. And whatever is in addition to that is again attributed to ‘anonymous’ sources. Hence, literally, every fact claimed is ‘anonymous’. The report has more than 10 anonymous sources.
In a barely disguised revenge piece, WaPo has accused us of targeting ‘activists’ & ‘philanthropists’.
We will reply to each line in the report shortly.
Here is a question: why do WaPo’s ‘activists’ fold their shops, edit their past & disappear AFTER we expose?
🧵
First, philanthropist #Soros
We exposed him NOT because he called for regime change in India, but because many anti-India fronts/players popped up by the Muslim Brotherhood/ Islamist Jamaat were getting funding/patronage from Soros -from #EqualityLabs to #HfHR to #DoTo.
(2/n)
Rather surprising. Why would Soros fund radical Islamists?!
But it would not be surprising if you knew that Soros/ #OSF has been funding multiple #MB fronts linked to #Hamas and other terror-accused fronts.
