Please enjoy my really crappy courtroom sketch of Douglass Mackey aka Ricky_Vaughn99 from EDNY Federal Court today

I’m gonna go one step further here, if anyone was around this in 2016 & remember, I was warning literally everyone & anyone I could that weev was masterminding the Trump campaign strategy. His involvement doing this as revenge for his conviction preceded the Russian involvement.

Paraphrased, he told me he would do everything in his power to get Donald Trump installed as president as retribution for his CFAA conviction that the 3rd circuit vacated, that he would be the most destructive force to lay wake to this country more than anything else.

You didn’t need some magic ball to read the DMs to recall all these guys tweeting each other. It was all happening in real time and Twitter was absolutely the most complicit entity in this entire fiasco in its inability to kick these guys off the platform.

DAY 3:

Lana Del Rey called up Baked Alaska’s mom cause he’s fucking up big time!!

Spent a lot of time showing the meme creation group DMs, amongst other things, Baked Alaska et al photoshopping photos of Lana Del Rey, Iggy Azalea, Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber wearing MAGA gear when they were in fact not.

Microchip stated he pled guilty to 18 USC 241, conspiracy to violate right. It’s not clear when he was arrested / indicted other than it was after Douglass Mackey’s arrest in January 2021.

Microchip stated authoritatively he knew voting by hashtag wasn’t possible and that he only wanted to trick Clinton voters and not Trump voters, and that his overall objective was to destroy Hillary Clinton and her reputation, not even so much to support Trump.

He spoke specifically using the word “infect” when he described sharing memes and ideas and that “when people laugh they are easily manipulated”.

“I wanted to infect everything”
“I tried to cause as much chaos as possible”

Microchip told Frisch under cross examination that he first became an informant for the FBI in 2018. Not exactly clear if this was the result of prior charges, the December 2018 visit he said he had, or there was even a formal agreement.

When asked by Frisch if he ever signed an NDA for the Trump Organization, he didn’t immediately answer. Microchip recalled that he worked for Trump University sometime around 2003-2004, but inferred he was doing some kind of subcontracting for lead generation.

He didn’t recall a lot about it since it was 20 years ago but was vague and careful not to share what state it was in, and that he couldn’t recall then if he had signed one then.

Microchip came into the court wearing a large blue jumpsuit and flip flops, similar to something a prisoner might wear, but not apparent he was serving any time while here as his cooperating agreement and sentencing have not been concluded, despite multiple continuances.

If I had to describe MicroChip he closely resembles a mix of Hurley from LOST and Kenny Powers from Eastbound and Down. Large white male, around 5’10”-6’ and pushing at least 300z He had a greasy but subtle mullet and a graying beard that was maybe two weeks unshaven.

He signed a tolling agreement to stop statute of limitations on or around June 24 2021, signed a notification of intent to plead guilty in March of 2022, and plead guilty before the same Judge Connelly in a sealed court proceeding April 14th 2022. Still not clear arrest date.

TFW you are on the stand explaining the truthfulness of your drug use in cross examination and explaining you went on a 36 hour adderall and ChatGPT binge as a government cooperator

Earlier, “1080p” (Twitter UID:6091342) was extensively in logs from the Madman #1 & #2 chats as Baked Alaska created fraudulent photos of Lana Del Rey. 1080p, addressed at one point as Gabe, sought out intelligence on the Clinton campaign’s exact choices of font & color.

1080p paid close attention to detail to help aid their meme squads’ efforts to inject altered photos purporting them as from the Clinton Campaign claiming that their supporters could vote by text or by tweet.

This case is absolutely a case about foreign interference! No evidence has been presented of any known Russian coconspirators, Milo Yiannopoulos is a UK-Greek dual national in America on a Steve Bannon sponsored O-1 extraordinary talent visa.

Beginning around March 2016, Milo (as @Nero) was in chats with Baked Alaska, PizzaPartyBen, 1080p, JeffreyTee, Unspectateur, GranTorinoDSA and others were in a Chat called “Madman #1” where they were making the celebrity memes.

In the course of faking Lana Del Rey support of Trump, Baked Alaska asked unspecified users around April 19th 2016 - many unlisted or lurkers - “you want to join the Trump HQ slack for better coordination?”

Now suspended user @/urpochan shared in the channel a suggestion template for a meme from a similar Tweet-to-vote fraud scheme to depress @UKLabour turnout for the #EUReferendum in support of Brexit that he apparently previously used, as reference for Clinton impersonation

deutsche_physik has been named as a handle in the government’s evidence, but the account title’s explicitly Neo-Nazi and anti-Semitic context has been stripped from mention to the jury.

I’m the “dumbshlit” but I’m also the one who’s in the courtroom, and the transcripts haven’t been posted to PACER. So, sure looks like you were leaked an unredacted transcript with the white-noised sidebars included! Hence, why I didn’t hear his name. 🫳🏻 🎤

Story of the trial

So I didn’t attend Mackey’s testimony today because…. I tested positive for COVID this morning! I wasn’t symptomatic until early this morning where I felt like I was hit by a bus. I did notify the court and everyone in the row I knew there before posting this.

Infamous last words.

This reminds me:
Tuesday, Loren Feldman testified that when he met Douglass Mackey to film him for his documentary “Silenced”, Weird Mike Cernovich and Chuck Johnson introduced Mackey to him. Whoops!
