In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a Danish medical doctor and conspiracy theorist, Anastasia Maria Loupis (@DrLoupis). She's best-known for spreading disinformation and conspiracy theories regarding COVID-19, Russo-Ukrainian War, or basically any other trending topic.

1/19 Image
Let's start with what is probably the wildest thing about this whole soup - Nastya is an actual trained medical doctor & she works at a emergency response in Denmark.

Allegedly her views and comments have been challenged in two...

...Medical Boards - The Medical Board for Patient Safety and the Medical Board for Medical Ethics. In Apr 2022, Danish tabloid newspaper called BT published an article discussing her social media presence. Many of her colleagues had complained about her conspiratorial...

..hot takes, but the clickbait-y article mostly focused on Nastya's Instagram "sexy" photos where she poses in skimpy underwear.

Now,take the crazies conspiracy theorist you know & then try to imagine an extra layer of craziness on top of that, and you'll have Dr. Loupis.

4/19 Image
She is the ultimate contrarian, who thinks that everything happening is actually organized by the "deep state". All of her views are based on this premise.

The root of all this is what she calls "anti-Zionism," and its fueled by an age old trope originating from Russia.

In 1902, a fabricated text called "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" was published. The book described a "Jewish conspiracy against the world," and it's basically the basis of all "globalist Jewish elite taking over the world" tropes originate from.

In addition, Loupy now separates the Jewish people, who "don't need a state to survive" from the evil "Zionists" who are planning to take over the world with deadly vaccines, stealing all your possessions and by censoring brave people like her.

7/19 Image
There is nothing unusual about this, as the deep state/World Economic Forum/Jewish elite ruling over the world is one of the most popular "super conspiracy theory" that is used as a basis for all other theories. For example, Nastya has grouped COVID-19, climate change,...

8/19 Image
...the US elections, the "woke culture" and the Russo-Ukrainian War under this umbrella. To put it in simple terms: she will be a contrarian to any new trendy thing that makes the news and somehow connects it to the "deep state".

Nastya has made some peculiar statements over the war in Ukraine. According to her, Putin is a "hero" whose fight against the "The New World" is something we all should support. Since Feb 2022, she's been strongly defending Putin and his brutal and genocidal war in Ukraine.

She's also claimed that the US and Zelenskyy have "recruited ISIS terrorists to fight in Ukraine", that one of Ukraine's former Ministers bought a villa in Cannes with US & EU tax payers money, and that Ukraine is a "money laundering operation".

Incidentally, the first time Nastya tweeted about Ukraine, Putin, Russia or Zelensky was in Feb 2022. The first time she tweeted about geopolitics over Israel, Palestine or Hamas was in Oct 2023.

Before this, she simply didn't care as these topics weren't popular enough.

12/19

Many of her tweets refer to one of the most notorious fake news blogs in the world, The People's Voice. The site was formerly known as NewsPunch, and in 2017 BuzzFeed identified NewsPunch as being the second-largest source of popular fake stories spread on FB.

Nastya is also extremely transphobic, and often posts images of trans people while making fun of them. According to her, the "Trans Agenda" is again a scheme by the "deep state" to, among other things, depopulate the planet and to feed the "Big Pharma".

14/19

I usually refrain from judging people by their looks, but with Nastya I'll make an exception: if you look like you could be one of the Bogdanoff brothers, I wouldn't criticize absolutely anyone for how they look.

And Loupy: you CAN get help for Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

15/19
Image
Image
Now I wouldn't recommend it, but if you watch Loupy's interview with @PeterSweden7, another X/Twitter grifter, you'll see how these people believe every conspiracy theory out there, including the "Great Reset" & that labmeat is produced from "cancer cells". It's all there.

16/19 Image
Loupis has enormous following on X/Twitter: as of today, she has almost 800 000 followers. You can even subscribe to even more crazier content through her X subscription service, that costs a measly 5,70 EUR per month. Nastya herself is of course subscribed to the...

17/19 Image
...most rabid conspiracy theorists on X, including @ShaykhSulaiman, @dom_lucre, and @jacksonhinklle.

They might have actually organized a little club to see who can gather the most community notes, and all of these accounts are heavily monetizing disinformation on X.

18/19
Image
Image
To conclude: Nastya is a conspiracy theorist and disinformation superspreader who monetizes outrage.

I'll close this soup by showing you how Nastya wins an arms wrestling match in 2020, hope you enjoy!

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll explain the Alaska Fiasco and how it marks the peak of Trump’s two-year betrayal of Ukraine. What was sold as “peace talks” turned into a spectacle of weakness, humiliation, empty promises, and photo-ops that handed Putin exactly what he wanted.

1/24 Image
Let’s start with the obvious: Trump desperately wants the gold medal of the Nobel Peace Prize, mainly because Obama got one. That’s why he’s now LARPing as a “peace maker” in every conflict: Israel-Gaza, Azerbaijan-Armenia, India-Pakistan, and of course Ukraine-Russia.

2/24 Image

Another theory is that Putin holds kompromat — compromising material such as videos or documents — that would put Trump in an extremely bad light. Some have suggested it could be tied to the Epstein files or Russia’s interference in the 2016 US presidential election.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll talk about engagement farming: a cynical social media tactic to rack up likes, shares, and comments. From rage farming to AI-powered outrage factories, engagement farming is reshaping online discourse and turning division into profit.

1/23 Photo by JULIE OLIVER /Postmedia
Engagement farming is a social media tactic aimed at getting maximum likes, shares, and comments, with truth being optional. It thrives on provocative texts, images, or videos designed to spark strong reactions, boost reach, and turn online outrage into clicks and cash.

2/23 Image
One subset of engagement farming is rage farming: a tactic built to provoke strong negative emotions through outrageous or inflammatory claims. By triggering anger or moral outrage, these posts often generate 100s or even 1,000s of heated comments, amplifying their reach.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll cover the autocratic concept of “Good Tsar, Bad Boyars”: the idea that the leader is wise and just, but constantly sabotaged by corrupt advisors. This narrative shields the ruler from blame, and it’s used by both Putin and Trump today.

1/20 Image
The phrase “Good Tsar, Bad Boyars” (Царь хороший, бояре плохие), also known as Naïve Monarchism, refers to a long-standing idea in Russian political culture: the ruler is good and benevolent, but his advisors are corrupt, incompetent and responsible for all failures.

2/20 Image
From this perception, any positive action taken by the government is viewed as being an accomplishment of the benevolent leader, whereas any negative one is viewed as being caused by lower-level bureaucrats or “boyars”, without the approval of the leader.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce a Russian politician and First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration of Russia, Sergey Kiriyenko. He’s best known for running both domestic and foreign disinformation and propaganda operations for the Kremlin.

1/20 Image
On paper, and in photos, Kiriyenko is just as boring as most of the Kremlin’s “political technologists”: between 2005-2016 he headed the Rosatom nuclear energy company, but later played a leading role in the governance of Russia-occupied territories in Ukraine.

2/20 Image
Image
What is a political technologist? In Russia, they’re spin doctors & propaganda architects who shape opinion, control narratives, and manage elections — often by faking opposition, staging events, and spreading disinfo to maintain Putin’s power and the illusion of democracy.

Let me show you how a Pakistani (or Indian, they're usually the same) AI slop farm/scam operates. The account @designbonsay is a prime example: a relatively attractive, AI-generated profile picture and a ChatGPT-style profile description are the first red flags.

1/5 Image
The profile's posts are just generic engagement farming, usually using AI-generated photos of celebrities or relatively attractive women.

These posts are often emotionally loaded and ask the user to interact with them ("like and share if you agree!").

2/5 Image
Image
Then there's the monetization part. This particular account sells "pencil art", which again are just AI-generated slop.

Country code for the phone number is in Pakistan.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce an American lawyer and politician, Mike Lee (@BasedMikeLee). He’s best-known for opposing the aid to Ukraine, undermining NATO by calling the US to withdraw from the alliance, and for fighting with a bunch of braindead dogs online.

1/21 Image
Like many of the most vile vatniks out there, “Based Mike” is a lawyer by profession. He hails from the holy land of Mormons, Utah, where he faces little political competition, allowing him to make the most outrageous claims online without risking his Senate seat.

2/21 Image
Before becoming a senator, Mike fought to let a nuclear waste company dump Italian radioactive waste in Utah, arguing it was fine if they just diluted it. The state said no, the public revolted, and the courts told poor Mikey to sit down.
