I would suspect we will see more and more of this; in the coming months ... pro-Kremlin accounts updating their usernames, bios and header images to pro-RFK jr related propaganda. Image
They follow all the pro-Kremlin influencers that you would expect .... ImageImageImage
Just about every one of these pro-Kremlin influencers shown in the previous tweet has their own #vatniksoup entry by the excellent #OSINT and #Disinfo researcher @P_Kallioniemi

So remember a few months back when @NickKnudsenUS and I believe @visionsurreal also before that brought this to our attention .... this crazy Watchman Decree pledge / NAR adjacent video? One part of it seemed especially odd? The part that pledged "we declare we will be energy… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
This section in particular in Emma Brown's new @washingtonpost article talking about how Ginni Brown's CRC group was only ever on one amicus brief and it was with the "American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers" group. Who here would be shocked to learn that we may soon find… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Here is the tweet from @NickKnudsenUS again that shows the full video. Please watch it. Note the part about the "seven mountains" ... something very integral to NAR ideology. And the reference to "wokeness" is no mistake. This is "Christofascism"

Well this was a rather STUNNING relevation by Lev Parnas tonight ... that Hunter Biden was drugged in kazakhstan in 2019 by the Russian FSB with the cooperation of the CEO of Burisma and his harddrive was copied and possibly manipulated by Russian Intel to be used later as… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Lev Parnas goes on to implicate Rudy Giuliani in a rather eye popping way ... including prior in the Twitter space the allegation that Giuliani had access to and used a Russian asset for the past 15 yrs.
Lev Parnas earlier in the Twitter space discussed why he was prosecuted & said he funneled about $500,000 Russian money to campaigns of
Donald Trump
Kevin McCarthy
Ron DeSantis
Pete Sessions

While in jail he came to the realization that he was a pawn used by Giuliani and that… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

A Kremlin #disinfo Op is ongoing. Videos & likely fake interviews portray a fake narrative of "Zelensky forced conscription / mobilization in Odessa & elsewhere". Problem is many if not all these videos are not conscription but rather arrests or other easily explained events
Its about 4 or 5 videos very heavily recycled by clear troll accounts and I am willing to bet most are standard arrests of either Russian collaborators or any other type of standard detainment during war time.
The Kremlin really really wants you to believe that #Ukraine is only fighting back against the Russian invasion of Ukraine’s sovereign territory because the … 1/2

Besides the acknowledged narrow scope of the new NYU #disinfo study one of the biggest issues IMHO with the study was the utilization of voter survey data. The issues targeted by the Kremlin was much more nuanced than voter survey data available 2 the authors.. AFTER THE FACT 1/4 Image
This was no fault of the authors given they had to do a retrospective study. The authors did find subtle shifts (but not statistically significant) and if you looked at the questions that would have been most relevant to the Kremlin ... these pro-Kremlin shifts were largest. 2/4 ImageImageImage
Important nuanced questions that would not likely have been in most voter survey data collected prior to the 2016 election & appeared to be important in the targeting by the Kremlin would have been below (I'm sure there are others). Chinese tariffs & Obamacare... not so much 3/4 ImageImage

I’ve always believed that one of the greatest benefits that Twitter provides to foreign influence operations like Russia in 2016 is “narrative seeding” & pushing the narrative needle among journalists & social media influencers. #osint #RussiaGate #MuellerReport #disinfo #infosec
NYU @CSMaP_NYU and its authors are also trying to push back on the right-wing narrative that continues to be ubiquitous in RW circles that the Kremlin’s efforts at interfering with our 2016 elections had no effect. The the narrow scope of their research did NOT conclude that
Even yesterday on multiple large right-wing Twitter spaces the NYU study was being touted as proof Russian interference in our election in 2016 was a hoax…their #RussiaGate. A narrative that they have pushed for yrs despite overwhelming evidence from #MuellerReport & researchers Image

Rosalie is more kind to this study than I will likely be (still reading it). But her assessment is spot on. The questions they asked & tools they used gave them an answer. Problem is its not definitive & doesn't advance our understanding of whether foreign influence #InfoOps work
For example I could argue, with lots of empirical data, that the attitudes of Republicans towards NATO and Putin / Russia HAVE absolutely shifted significantly towards the Kremlin's favor ..exactly as the Kremlin has wanted. Neither of these narratives were looked at in the study
Trying to determine effectiveness within the aggregate of the whole social mediasphere is of course going 2b extremely difficult. Like with some effective cyber attacks u flood the zone (white noise) so that the very small very significant target actions are nearly imperceptible
