🧵Blocklists

A tool in the information warfare toolkit with the intent of siloing/dividing subscribers into limited info bubbles ripe for disinfo amplification & further division.

📌A Timeline

On 3/22/17 & 4/8,9/17 LM encouraged her followers to subscribe to Jester’s blocklist to block “Putinbots.”

Putinbots sounds scary, don’t they? Twitter newbies want to be safe from “Russian trolls” so they naively subscribe, IPs likely scraped. Image
LM loved pro Brexit “putinbots,” funny that. Image

@chiefcovfefe @tonyserrata offers his followers a link to his blocklist.

“TrumpTrolls and other a$$holes blocked.” Image

Is @counterchekist referring to @LouiseMench, his associate, and sending her followers a warning?

Analysis re Chief’s blocklist.

Remember in retaliation LM accused this account of anti semitism & posted purported photoshopped images as she did to Woky to smear his credibility.

Conclusion: if you are looking to block “TrumpTrolls” this blocklist won’t help” ImageImageImageImage
Note I later learned in late November ‘17 Chief’s blocklist was not well curated as it was advertised to me, but rather it was a dump of Robin’s (🐕🙉) & Cassandra Fairbanks’ followers.

In other words 50% left wing/50% Right wingers were blocked.

Let’s piss off both sides. 🍿
Preet Bharara was included in Chief & LM’s blocklist, funny that.

@PreetBharara like Andrew McCabe have been widely scorned by LM.

“TrumpTrolls” nor “Putinbots” were effectively blocked by the blocklist. Image

Chief alerts us (naive/stupid followers of LM) to the RussiaRussiaRevealed site.

Recently I asked LM why we were not warned or notified, & she said it was @counterchekist decision to withhold the heads up. 🤷‍♀️

WTF? It was very stressful, to say the least. Image

What was happening behind the scenes between Louise and her “old boots” troll associates? ImageImage

LM bantering with her old boots troll associates.

Blocklist botnet released to attack her followers.

What did Louise do to them to warrant this attack? Hmmmm?

LM deleted all these tweets.

The attack was traumatic. LM didn’t defend us & chided us for responding. ImageImageImage

TeamPatriot = TeamFlyingMonkeys/TeamTrolls.

Russia’s intent is to divide Americans, guess who helps? Image
3/28/17

The blocklist was used as an information warfare tool to divide Americans & silo them into controlled info bubbles that can and are manipulated to silence truth/critics, muddy water, seed disinfo and amplify distractions.

@WSJ of course paints the organization behind the Palestinian protests as “left wing” when it is actually a well know propaganda organization in support of Hammas currently being sued by survivors of the Oct 7th massacre. wsj.com/us-news/educat…
Survivors of the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks filed a Fed lawsuit citing the nationwide college protests, arguing that Nat’l Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) and its parent org are working in the US "as collaborators and propagandists for Hamas."

foxnews.com/us/major-us-la…
Through NSJP, AJP Educational Foundation Inc. – also known as American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) – allegedly "uses propaganda to intimidate, convince, & recruit uninformed, misguided, and impressionable college students to serve as foot soldiers for Hamas on campus and beyond.”

Mr. Kushner’s plans in the Balkans appear to have come about in part through relationships built while Mr. Trump was in office. Mr. Kushner, who was a senior White House official, said he had been working on the deals with dirty trickster and Trump sycophant Richard Grenell.
These first two projects both involve land now controlled by the governments of Albania and Serbia, meaning a deal would have to be finalized with these foreign governments.

nytimes.com/2024/03/15/us/…
Reminder, Richard Grenell was involved in influencing the elections in Kosovo during the Trump administration.

All news outlets who pushed the Burisma smear campaign against Hunter & Joe Biden are guilty of aiding & abetting Putin & his Russian Intel Services disinfo & owe a huge apology not only to the Biden’s, but to the American people. @CBSPolitics @ABCPolitics @CNN @NBCNews @ABC
Putin’s goal is to elect Trump who will destroy NATO & hand the keys to Ukraine and the European continent to him.

That has always been the original quid pro quo dating back to 2016. Trump has even confirmed this goal.

Secret Afghanistan testimony revealed

The Trump administration’s slapdash efforts to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan hurt the prospects of a negotiated settlement between Kabul and the Taliban, according to secret congressional testimony.
politico.com/newsletters/na…
Afghanistan-focused officials were kept out of the loop by senior Trump aides. That ultimately put personnel at risk, endangered a fragile diplomatic effort and left a new administration in the dark about their inheritance, they said in previously unreported comments.
The Trump administration struck a deal with the Taliban in February 2020 that set the conditions for a U.S. withdrawal by May 2021.
