More on the Russian oligarch ‘associate’ from @Vokabre.
I’d just like to underscore, Andrey Kostin, Nailya Asker-Zade’s lover (as Alexei Navalny exposed: there is even a park bench in Central Park NYC, dedicated to their ‘love’), Kostin is also known as “Putin’s wallet”. #ElonIsDestroyingTwitter

NO NO NO. The reason the #EmergenciesAct was invoked was because things WERE NOT resolving. They were becoming entrenched. Children and Ottawa residents were increasingly at risk. #EmergencyActInquiry
The political right & malign actors, including adversaries like 🇷🇺& 🇨🇳, used public health measures as a means to sow toxicdisinformation & weaponize the public via social media manipulation in order to destabilize democracies. This was not a “protest”. #EmergencyActInquiry#POEC
If the #CPC opposition weren’t such manifestly bad faith actors, that were participants in #FluTruxKlan destabilization operation, then perhaps things wouldn’t have gotten so out of hand. Provincial & fed #Conservatives WANTED this destructive chaos. #EmergencyActInquiry#POEC
Giving people like James Bauder a platform to spew his delusional nonsense & then listen to him rationalize it all with religion…because “Christian”, is at once tedious & exhausting. #EmergenciesActInquiry#POEC#FreeDumbConvoy#CanadaUnity
Just like Pat King, Bauder - who spews the most vicious lies & hate about Liberals, esp Trudeau, is complaining about he has been “defamed” and “viciously attacked by this government”. Then he goes on to defend his MOU. #EmergenciesActInquiry#POEC#FreeDumbConvoy
1. Something that repeatedly struck me listening to #EmergenciesActInquiry testimony. References kept being made about the huge followings the convoy organizers had on social media. There are many ways foreign adversaries & “foreign actors” can give in-kind ‘donations’ #CdnNatSec
2. “Backing” is one way of giving covert assistance to operations like #FluTruxKlan. Troll factory operations of threat actors can “back” social media accounts, boosting their megaphone & exploiting algorithms so that many people view these accounts as important. @POECommission
3. 1,000s of 🤖 can be used to bridge groups together, creating complex networks that appear organic, but are not. Once these networks are formed, an echo-chamber follows. Disinformation is then fed into the network. This is a malign “donation” that ultimately translates into💰.
A word or two about Srgt Chris Kiez who has since deleted/cleaned up his LinkedIn & social media. Even the Reddit post about him has been removed. Thankfully @CyKoore saved a bunch.
If a large group of non-white people with 400 large rigs, shut down the core of the nation’s capital, continuously blaring deafening air horns, amassing containers of fuel alongside open flames & fireworks, endangering children present, harming residents…. #EmergencyActInquiry
…getting #ConvoyFinancing for their op from foreign extremists like far right Republicans. Shutting down major border crossings costing billions in losses, engaging in conspiracies to, at the very LEAST, sabotage the workings of gov’t, providing fodder to foreign adversaries…
