Some loose threads. Not sure how they tie together quite yet, but I’m putting them out, untied.
There was a definite connection between Ezra Levant’s “Rebel”, Keean Bexte propaganda, Post Millennial, #TrueNorthCentre, & the promotion of both #NevrePoilievre & #FluTruxKlan op.
I’ll primarily use #TrueNorthCentre as the example, but the same thing was happening across RW propaganda media, including #Postmedia products. Namely, the takedown of O’Toole & the amplifying of Poilevre…using a litany of fake accounts. #NevrePoilievre#FluTruxKlan#cpcldr
The amplification of tweets that involved O’Toole’s leadership “review” saw a steady supply of fake accounts claiming to want Poilevre. To make it seem as though there was a large grassroots demand for #NevrePoilievre.
The fake account tweets often paired Poilevre’s name (I’m misspelling it on purpose, by the way), with “Prime Minister”, just prior to #NevrePoilievre’s announcement he was running for “Prime Minister”…not party leader. Prime Minister. #cdnpoli#cpcldr#FluTruxKlan
Take note of the dramatic change in retweets & likes once Poilevre announced he was running. The artificial amplification of strategic propaganda, is coordinated. Who is paying for this coordinated inauthentic behaviour? #cpcldr#cdnpoli#TraitorConvoy2022
That brings me to some other loose threads. Namely, Ezra Levant & dark politics multi-billionaire, Peter Thiel. Steve Bannon figures into this too. Thiel (who also founded #Palantir) started disinformation platform #Rumble to upend YouTube. Rumble is based in Toronto. 🤔 #cdnpoli
The fact that the 🇺🇸 founder of multi-billion $$ data mining & surveillance company, #Palantir, is also a major backer of disinformation pipeline, #Rumble, based in 🇨🇦, is deeply concerning. You know who else owns a slice of #Rumble? Ezra Levant. #cdnmedia#cdnpoli
Former Goldman Sachs executive, Steve Bannon, pretending he’s not an “elite”, has been promoting #FluTruxKlan op since Feb 1st on his batshit ranting podcast & pumping out propaganda dialed up to 11. Bannon & Thiel share a disdain for democracy. politico.com/magazine/story…#cdnpoli
The network of wealthy malign players seeking to sabotage democracy, includes the essential use of propaganda media + inauthentic behaviour. Including in 🇨🇦. #PostMillennial#TrueNorthCentre#PostMedia “Rebel” “News” & others, show growing suspicious coordinatin. As does the #CPC
PS, at least part of the reason AP had to publicly fact-check the worn-out RW lie of “Castro is Trudeau’s dad” is because Steve Bannon has repeatedly floated this lie & said it again on his podcast. You’ll remember the role Bannon played in manufacturing Hillary Clinton toxic bs.
How interesting that #NeverPoilievre prattles on about violent crime all while the foreign authoritarian regime of India’s Modi that helped install Poilievre as #CPCldr, is directly implicated in violent crimes in 🇨🇦. #cdnpoli #NeverEverTrustConservatives #RCMP
This is perhaps the most damning to #NeverPoilievre & the messaging he’s engaged in “The use of organized crime to create a perception of an unsafe environment targeting the South Asian Community in 🇨🇦; &
Interference into democratic processes.” #cdnpoli #NeverVoteConservative
Lawrence Greenspon is an INCREDIBLY expensive lawyer. Who’s paying Tamara “black ops” Lich’s legal bills? Last time it was fake charity front operation #JCCF (now switched to “nonprofit”). Now funding appears to be through another “charity” front operation “The Democracy Fund”.
“TDF” claims it started in 2021, but according to CRA, it began in 2019. “The Democracy Fund” also suddenly went from no revenue in 2020 to nearly $5.2 MILLION in 2021. Likely using the pandemic in info-ops laundering. #FrontOperations #BlackOps #cdnpoli #FluTruxKlan
There’s a lot that is suspicious about this, yet another, fake charity front operation that bankrolls the legal bills for anti-vaxxers, covid deniers, anti-maskers & far right seditious extremists. #cdnpoli #FluTruxKlan charitydata.ca/charity/the-de…
1. I’m starting a series of threads on #Project2025. It’s more than just a blueprint for destroying democracy & installing fascism. It’s a blueprint for the wholesale ravaging of the environment to benefit billionaires. Specifically, extraction industry billionaires.
The partners in #Project2025, are billionaire-backed right wing extremist front operations disguising themselves as “pro family values”, “freedom”, “choice in education” “traditional values”. When in fact, it’s about autocracy & dismantling public protections. #DemocracyInDanger
3. In this series, we’ll look at some of the partners in #Project2025. The deception & con-jobs designed to hoodwink the public. Let’s take a look at “Native Americans for Sovereignty & Preservation. This group hijacks causes & imitates topics important to Indigenous communities.
Running 74 fake spoiler candidates who don’t live, support, or even campaign, in the communities they target, is so clearly a dirty trick & an abuse of rules & norms, benefiting #Conservatives. The organizers claim to be independent, but the ridings they target tell another story
#ElectoralReform is an exploited talking point aimed mostly at the left to hive off Liberal support - always to benefit #Conservatives. It was debated & quickly got messy. It’s been used as “broken promise” propaganda ever since.
Yes, this 👇
The dirty tricks by the “extreme ballot committee” or the “longest ballot f*ckery committee” or whatever, is, and has been, spun across propaganda media. It perpetuates misinformation and propaganda. #TorontoStPaul #cdnpoli
On #NeverPoilievre’s website, on the first page, is a link to propaganda from a known Kremlin mouth piece & white nationalist, Cosmin Dzsurdzsa. Even RW propaganda site #PostMillennial fired Dzsurdzsa. Once again, PP dog whistles to far right extremists & 🇷🇺. #cdnpoli #cdnmedia
Who then hired this far right Kremlin mouth piece? #TrueNorthCentre, a pro Poilievre registered “charity” front operation, spreading disinformation disguised as “news”. #CdnDisinfo #cdnmedia #CdnMediaCrisis #cdnpoli #NeverVoteConservative
#TrueNorthCentre played a pivotal role in ousting Erin O’Toole, pushing PP, & spreading #FluTruxKlan destabilization op propaganda as well as promoting Kremlin talking points & pro Kremlin political figures like #ChristineAnderson. #cdnpoli #NeverPoilievre
On this New Year’s Day 2024, let’s look back on 2023, a year in review of some of the more notable propaganda campaigns that misled the public, using both legacy/corporate media & social media. 🧵
#NewYear2024 #AYearInReview #cdnmedia #cdnpoli #Goodbye2023 #CdnDisinfo
Let’s start with recent history. The appalling partisanship & lack of critical thinking, in addition to a willingness to comply, with the foreign ops of authoritarians like Modi, laid bare (again) our #CdnMediaCrisis. Then silence when more evidence came to light. #cdnpoli
Of course, one of the biggest ops of 2023 was the Chinese interference story. Picking off off LPC MPs in key ridings, appeared to be an aim, using unassessed unknown confidence intel, leaked by partisans. #cdnmedia played such a starring role, @MarkBourrie called it #CoupByMedia
