Learn to spot #agitprop ON Twitter, and REPORT IT until they're gone. 👇
Yup, @GuidoFawkes1976 is another charlatan spreading the #QAnon-plane nonsense alleging that the E-4 is "a sign", because they prey on the uninformed. The E-4 flies (almost) every day, he's lying to people to take advantage of them.
Get rid of this trash.

Do we have one of these softheaded charlatans go off about a "Doomsday planes" once every few months?

It's a never-ending battle against #disinformation and charlatans duping people on Twitter using sock-puppets and disingenuous engagement.

It's hard to tell mental illness from deliberate quackery. The voices that usually tell them things are quiet tonight, are they just voices in their head? Likely yes!

Remember when I was posting daily E-4/E-6 summaries of daily flights & activity? You know why? To dissuade this kind of fraud; you can control the information environment by blitzing it with truth. Doing so innoculates the public against disinformation.
Sooner or later the facts are going to catch up with the frauds, I hope.

I understand that some of these ppl are hopeless, some are mentally ill, some are bots, some are paid to be disruptive for influence operations. I don't tweet these replies for them, I tweet them in the hopes the next person who's "not sure" sees the facts
*off
There's a plentiful supply of disinformation spreading accounts on Twitter.

Let's review what a fact is, what a Top Secret-classified source might be, what a Secret-classified intelligence report is, what misinformation is, and what disinformation is.
Your car is parked at home. It's location is a fact. You put it there. You may even see it out your windows, it is indisputably true, it is there, it is a fact, there is no tricks, no smoke or mirrors. It's just a #fact.
There is an American spy satellite (ha, many) circling the globe, it's capabilities are Top Secret, and the imagery it takes is Top Secret.

Using imagery from that satellite, a gov't analyst writes a Secret report that states your car is in your driveway, per Top Secret intel.

🇨🇦🇷🇺🇺🇦 With all the chatter about RUSSIA! / UKRAINE! it's hard to keep facts straight, so I'm keeping an eye out for *unusual* aircraft movements that I can identify, so I can try to make a meaningful, reliable contribution, without using someone else's bouncy dash-cam footage.
What was yesterday?
Easter Sunday.
Do you know who works in the Canadian federal govt on a holiday?
Not many people, but the Canadian Forces are still flying; that's pretty normal, they don't take many breaks.

However, an RCAF CC-144 was flying; THAT'S not normal for a holiday.
🇨🇦 Royal Canadian Air Force CC-144D Challenger 144620 flew from Ottawa to #CFBBagotville to #RAFLuton on Friday 2021-04-02.

🇺🇸 Because of charlatans we have to waste our time reminding the people who are just uninformed that yes, there are US Navy and USAF command and control planes that fly every day over their heads.
"Doomsday planes" are not "a sign".
Let's start with the E-4B Nightwatch.

I've already published your secret decoder ring, you just need to check in on it, daily, to see it's always the same poop. Since some people didn't get the memo, let me spoon feed it to them, right down their throat.

🇺🇸 Unknown aircraft using an identifier in the American-allocated ICAO range over #Iraq 🇮🇶 tonight; no idea what it is, all info is blank (incl alt, squawk, etc) and I can't find any historical information about it (other than it was last seen 2020-01-06 & 2020-01-17) #AAD30F 🤔
Given the constant buzz of American ISR assets over Iraq, it's probably just one more, but the rest of them are pretty loud and proud about their identity. Already L3, Textron, and other contractors can be noticed operating over Iraq all night long, every night.
Frequent fliers:

🇺🇸✈️ MQ-1C Gray Eagle
#AE5C0D
#AE5C13
#AE60B7

🇬🇧 Considering the sources who suggested the Russians or Syrians were jamming #RAF A400 GPS, it probably shouldn't have been published; but the British press have a lot of tabloid clickbait trash, so here we are. There is no sign this is any different than the past several yrs.
🇬🇧 Sowing this sort of truism would be the sort of thing a propaganda campaign would do, and coincidentally members of the British military have bragged about their capacity, and willingness, to manipulate the press when it suits their narrative before.
I'm not sure this story comes from "journalism". No dates, times, specific flights, or specific planes were identified, and none of the info shows sign of being fact-checked with any external sources. There are open sources which can verify the RAF narrative, but nobody bothered.
