⚠️The other day I tweeted everyone is susceptible to disinformation, and here is another example of how an inaccurate tweet from an account with a high Bot Sentinel rating can go viral. The tweet has over 20k likes, but the quote is fake...

Profile: botsentinel.com/profile/120315…
Journalists, media personalities, and high-profile Twitter influencers have retweeted this inaccurate quote and shared it with their followers, and it has quickly gone viral organically. The same thing that we witnessed happen in 2016 continues to happen today.
I ran an analysis on the tweet activity data, and it's worse than I initially thought. Here are the top accounts that retweeted the fake quote with the highest impact.
According to the data, that fake quote has the potential to reach nearly 18 million people. 🤦🏾‍♂️
Approximately 2 hours later, another account tweeted the exact false quote, and that tweet also went viral.
Twitter suspended the first account, and the second account's tweets are now protected.

Breaking news: Trump is convicted!
Republicans: We stand behind Trump 100%!

Breaking news: Biden has lackluster debate.
White Democrats: We still have time to replace Biden!
Black Democrats: We are still ridin with Biden!

Some of y'all didn't learn shit from 2016.
I keep hearing about "Biden's age."

Has Biden's age prevented him from getting an infrastructure bill passed?

Has Biden's age prevented him from reducing the price of insulin?

Has Biden's age prevented him from forgiving 4.75 million borrowers' student loans?
Roosevelt was elected four times, and he was a person with disabilities, "old," and in a wheelchair, but that didn't stop Americans from voting for him. Americans have never had an issue with voting for an "old" white man until that white man had a Black female VP.

Richard Eden seems to imply that their month-long attacks on me were unrelated to racism and suggests I "shut up." Yes, it was rooted in racism, and no, I will not shut up. When faced with disinformation or bogus videos, I will leverage my platform to educate others...
In each article the Daily Mail published, they tried to associate me with Harry and Meghan, casting me as an irrational conspiracy theorist who trolls Kate. They want to undermine Harry and Meghan's brand. However, this tactic has not succeeded, and I will outline why...

Prior to Amber Heard and Meghan Markle, my reputation was already established among researchers and journalists globally. I have worked with every major news outlet in the United States on and off the record. I have lost count of the number of journalists I have worked with...

It's time to debunk the farm video.

This is Nelson Silva, the man who filmed the Windsor Farm video. In this clip, he claims he typically goes to the farm shop on weekends. So far, so good...
In this clip, Nelson claims that when he walked in, he noticed a "young couple." Weirdly, he calls them a young couple since he is only a few years older than them. But then he "kinda" recognized Kate but recognized William. He noticed they wanted to be discreet...etc ...
Although he previously acknowledged they wanted to be discreet and he wanted to keep their "privacy to themselves," he still waited for them to exit so he could film them and share the video with his family. Fair enough, he wanted to share a once-in-a-lifetime moment...

Thread: I'll demonstrate how the British press is deflecting their role in the media circus they created onto Americans and trolls. Robert Jobson reveled in the attention her video received, despite Matt Wilkinson admitting being aware of the personal challenges Kate faced.
In this clip, Matt Wilkinson slips up and says this was the first time Kat was seen public since December. Earlier this month, The Sun published a photo of William and Kate in a car, claiming it was her.
In this clip, Robert Jobson boasts that the video of Kate was a major scoop. Remember, Matt Wilkinson acknowledged knowing about Kate's personal struggles, but the Sun published the video regardless. Americans and trolls didn't force The Sun to publish the video.

Some people unfollowed me and deleted their Spoutible accounts because I have been vocal against antisemitism. Yet, these same people are still on a platform owned by a guy who tweeted, "THEY absolutely want your extinction" in response to a Confederate statue being destroyed...

Elon has successfully created an environment on Twitter where being antisemitic isn't met with immediate condemnation. Now, people calling for a cease-fire and supporting innocent Palestinians are being lumped together with people using this conflict to spread hate...

The problem is what happens on social media doesn't always stay on social media, and I fear that this will escalate from a few isolated incidents of Jews being targeted to something far worse. Then, that will be weaponized against people who look and sound like me.

Democrats' biggest weakness is listening to burned-out, overrated pundits and pollsters who don't have a clue what the fuck they are talking about.

1. Ignore anyone citing national polls a year ahead of an election.

2. Claiming Biden is in "dire shape" is utter nonsense... Image
We are headed into 2024 with a Republican lead House in chaos, low unemployment, and a GOP front-runner with more indictments than the average mob boss. Trump barely won in 2016, and that was before abortion bans, the attacks on transgender people, and four indictments...
These "experts" continue to use outdated methodologies and make nonsensical assumptions that don't make any sense. Republicans are being clobbered in special elections nationwide, and Democrats are raising tons of cash. The canary in the coal mine is chirping loudly.
