The Honduran hall of mirrors is filling up Instagram with sycophantic pro-JOH memes, same as Twitter.
"The connection to the Honduran leader was made, Zhang said, because an administrator for the president’s Facebook page had been 'happily running hundreds of these fake assets without any obfuscation whatsoever in a show of extreme chutzpah.'"

Important case happening now that implicates the current Honduran president in major drug trafficking and predictably, the Honduran hall of mirrors has been tweeting a pro-JOH hashtag: YoCreoEnJOH (I believe in JOH). It was trending earlier today in Guatemala.

I've been working on this research for what seems like an eternity: Visualizing Cyber Harassment

Content warning: this blog contains racist and anti-semitic language and terminology associated with sexual assault. erin-gallagher.medium.com/visualizing-cy…
I collected data over several months in 2019 to analyze & visualize part of a trolling network that some researchers have referred to as The Shed. Instead of a fixed group of known users, it's more like a hydra that is constantly regenerating new heads. erin-gallagher.medium.com/visualizing-cy…
Due to the complexity and constant fluctuation of this network, visualizing their digital footprint was very challenging. This research includes data visualizations of 316 sock puppet accounts for 5 unique personas associated with this trolling network. erin-gallagher.medium.com/visualizing-cy… Image

(2015) white supremacists opened fire on an encampment of Black Lives Matter protesters in Minneapolis and shot 5 people. For several nights they showed up in bullet-proof vests threatening people who were protesting the police killing of Jamar Clark. colorofchange.org/press_release/…
The police told the protesters “This is what you guys wanted”, did not help those who were shot and then they maced the protesters. theguardian.com/us-news/2015/n…
Historical tweets are educational. So you can see who the real infiltrators and agitators were 5 years ago. Also you can see the backlash from trolls who predictably turned the narrative around to deflect from the actual infiltrators and agitators.
