Exclusive: We have put together a screenshot archive of 798 inauthentic accounts linked to Project Veritas. We hope the general public and journalists will use the data to learn more about inauthentic activity on Twitter.

Everyone will not understand what they are looking at, so I will explain how Project Veritas spreads disinformation and manipulates trends on Twitter step by step. I will omit some details for obvious reasons, but I feel it’s crucial for people to understand the process...
Step 1: Acquire inactive and newly created Twitter accounts.

Step 2: Use ClickToTweet to create a pre-filled tweet that can then be shared with your followers.

Step 3: Use Telegram to share the ClickToTweet link so your followers can SPAM the pre-filled tweets on Twitter...
Step 4: Ask high-profile accounts to share the content to give the impression of organic activity.

Step 5: Use the fake accounts you acquired to SPAM your content.

Step 6: Tell your followers you are gaining momentum and urge them to keep SPAMMING. Repeat step 5.
Conclusion: The ClickToTweet activity is used to mask the inauthentic activity from the fake accounts. So when the folks at Twitter examine the activity, it just looks like SPAM from ClickToTweet. Using public data and human sources, we are 1000% confident the accounts are fake…
And to suggest, hint, or infer newly created accounts SPAMMING the same content is somehow legit activity is simply absurd and defies logic.

Oh, please bring it. We only released the Twitter handles of the fake accounts; we also have an archive with thousands of tweets. And don't try to delete the accounts or the tweets; it's too late. You got caught.
I don't bluff @Jtaylorede.

You got...

New: By now, you may have heard about the “viral” video released by Project Veritas that purportedly shows an internal email from Pfizer obtained by a “whistleblower.” Approximately 11k accounts shared the video using the exact text to get the video to trend, and here is how... ImageImage
Twitter prohibits platform manipulation and spamming, so if thousands of users are tweeting the exact text to get a topic to trend purposely, they are breaking Twitter’s TOS/rules. However, there are 3rd party tools that allow people to tweet content with pre-filled text... ImageImageImageImage
Using Telegram, Project Veritas was able to exploit the sharing functionality and get their video to trend on Twitter. However, using Telegram is also a way to give them cover for their platform manipulation. By using Telegram, they can also hide their coordinated activity... ImageImageImageImage

⚠️We are investigating a network of suspicious accounts spamming Pfizer disinformation on behalf of Project Veritas. Our system alerted us to the activity yesterday, and since then, the activity has increased significantly. Stay tuned...
Over the past 24 hours, approximately 11,000 unique Twitter accounts tweeted the exact message with the same video. We estimate this specific Pfizer disinformation has the potential reach of over 4 million Twitter users by tomorrow.
Madison Cawthorn, a member of Congress, also tweeted the exact message and video to his 315k followers. A sitting member of Congress took part in a coordinated disinformation campaign targeting a private company. Image

Today, a group of former and current Black women officers filed a $100M class-action lawsuit against the Washington, DC police, and one of the officers named in the lawsuit (Robert T. Glover) has a very troubled past. You are not going to believe this...

nbcwashington.com/news/local/10-…
In 1996, Robert T. Glover was on his way to work when he observed a Virginia state trooper in “danger.” Robert exited his vehicle, pulled out his firearm, and fired his weapon into the suspect’s car, striking Auguster A. Carter in the head and chest...

washingtonpost.com/archive/local/…
At the time of the shooting, Robert was off duty and in Virginia. Remember, Robert was a D.C. cop, not a Virginia cop. He was only a police officer for approximately two years when he shot and killed Auguster, but somehow he kept his job...

For the past year, I have been ringing the alarm about terrorists using disinformation to carry out a terrorist attack, and Ivermectin is an example of what keeps me up at night. We know unscrupulous "doctors" started pushing Ivermectin as a treatment for COVID-19 to profit...
But what if terrorists took advantage of the anti-vax hysteria and used platforms like Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter to convince Americans not to get vaccinated and instead use drugs like Ivermectin? How many people could they injure or kill just from disinformation?...
Why waste resources on bombs and biological weapons when you can convince your enemies to hurt themselves with only social media posts? The deadliest terrorist attack in history was 9/11, with 2,996 casualties. How many people have died from COVID-19 disinformation?...

😅My better half and I are having a silly debate, and you guys can settle it. I brought our son into the bedroom, and he had a spoon we use for cooking. When I handed him to her and left, he had the spoon, and somehow it ended up behind the bed after she changed his pamper...
Excluding our son, who is more at fault for the spoon ending up behind the bed. Me for bringing him in the room with the spoon, or her, the last person to see him with the spoon before it ended up behind the bed?🤔
Rigged poll! I demand a recount!
