In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce a Canadian conspiracy theorist and social media personality, @liz_churchill10. She's best-known for spreading the most outrageous conspiracy theories, and for promoting pro-Kremlin narratives on social media.
1/16
It seems that Lizzy believes pretty much any conspiracy theory that supports her worldview. Globalist satanic cults, vaccines/Bill Gates/Klaus Schwab will kill you, HIV/AIDS is a bioweapon, Pizzagate, that Kamala Harris is part fish... it's all there.
2/16
I mean, let's look at her takes on 9/11 - according to Liz, it was of course an "inside job", but she also wonders why the WEF leader Klaus Schwab was having "outdoor lunch" (he was not) in NYC in a place "that had a perfect view of the WTC... when they collapsed...on 9-11"
3/16
Other than that, she's just a regular housewife, who allegedly worked as a "street psychologist", whatever that means, until she retired. But this could be yet another lie, as she lies a LOT. Lizzy lies about the number of degrees her husband has (he has exactly one),...
4/16
...the number of languages she speaks, that her grandfather fought the Nazis, and that her grandmother was Dr. Frances Kelsey, a doctor who refused to authorize thalidome for patients. There's so many lies that it's hard to keep up, but in the end the whole family...
5/16
...seems to be a Canadian white trash ragtag that supports Donald Trump and rocks "Fuck Trudeau" tattoos. When your life is extremely boring and uneventful, I guess it's some sort of escapism to just come up with stuff to look better.
6/16
Lizzy has grown her account with a technique called rage farming. She posts the most outrageous, usually made-up stuff in order to garner likes and shares. This strategy is used by many conspiratorial accounts, including @jacksonhinklle, @dom_lucre and @MattWallace888.
7/16
Today's X is a perfect place to use rage farming, as spreading disinformation and lies has no absolutely ramifications. The owner of this platform actually encourages people to do so, and he even follows and comments on most of the biggest disinformation accounts.
8/16
Liz is currently at #29 position on the most community noted accounts on X, just one note ahead of the site's owner. Liz, you gotta step up, even the Embassy of Russia in South Africa (@EmbassyofRussia) is ahead of you!
9/16
On those rare occasions when she references to articles in her posts, Lizzy uses sources like The People's Voice, Info Wars, Real America's Voice, and of course straight up Russian propaganda. Her BS has also been fact-checked several times by various fact-checking sites.
10/16
Weirdly, considering that she's Canadian, Liz is also a staunch defender of Donald Trump. According to her, Trump was arrested for exposing the Biden family's "child-sex trafficking". According to her, the Bidens also invested into bioweapons labs, allegedly in Ukraine.
11/16
Lizzy absolute loathes Ukraine and especially their courageous leader, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. She was one of the first people to spread lies about Zelenskyy buying a house from King Charles, and she's spread other fake news about Zelenskyy's alleged real estate businesses.
12/16
Then there's the classics like the "secret" US/CIA/Ukrainian biolabs, "Ukrainian Nazis", EuroMaidan was a "CIA coup" orchestrated by Victoria Nuland, etc. But also something completely new - Lizzy claims that Ukraine's First Lady has been accused of child trafficking!
13/16
Putin she sees as some kind of "savior" who's fighting against the satanic globalists whose mission apparently is to spread decadence and "wokeism" in the Western societies. Interestingly, she doesn't seem to have any desire to leave her comfy homeland to, say, Russia.
14/16
She really is obsessing over Putin, and she's posted tens of posts where she praises his leadership skills, and his efforts in fighting against "LGBTQPS Propaganda", "Child Sterilization", "Gender Dysphoria Cult" and "Pedophilia".
15/16
To conclude, Liz is a housewife/conspiracy theorist who would be completely unremarkable if it wasn't for modern social media sites and their tendency to promote BS and lies. She's that aunt at family dinners who rants to everyone about chem trails & fluoride in toothpaste.

This soup was brewed in collaboration with the @UnintelAgency.
In today’s Vatnik Soup, we’ll introduce the International Olympic Committee (IOC) @Olympics . It’s mostly known for organizing sporting events, and for being supposed to foster the Olympic ideal while actually submitting to dictators.
1/15
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) was founded in 1894 in Paris by Pierre de Coubertin with a noble goal: promote peace through sports. Politics out, sportsmanship in: sounds great in theory.
2/15
But in practice, the IOC has a long history of accommodating authoritarian regimes, always in the name of “neutrality,” “dialogue,” and “keeping sports separate from politics”, usually not in a particularly consistent or moral way.
In today’s Wumao Soup, we’ll tell you 15 things about the People’s Republic of China that you didn’t learn from TikTok, Douyin or DeepSeek.
1/20
This is our 2nd Wumao Soup. In the 1st one, we introduced how the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) online propaganda works. Now we’ll cover some of the big topics they hide or lie about. Think of it as an antidote soup to their propaganda.
1 - Tiananmen Square massacre
Yes, it happened. Yes, it was a massacre. Vatniks, wumaos, and tankies in the West deny it, while China censors the slightest mention of it, even the date it happened.
In today’s Vatnik Soup, made together with chef invité @Martinlaineolen, we discuss the extensive links between pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and Russian officials and intelligence operatives, and how Western politicians reinforced these links.
1/23
While MAGA influencers remain silent on Epstein, pro-Kremlin propagandists and bot farms have expectedly launched an anti-Ukraine online operation, spreading fake narratives that connect Ukraine, its politicians, and the late sex trafficker.
2/23
But the emails paint a very different picture: in reality, Epstein had very close connections with Russian officials and intelligence operatives, and even built bridges and arranged meetings between MAGA figures and the Kremlin.
In this 5th Debunk of the Day, we’ll discuss something that sounds great in theory, but was completely turned upside-down by the tankie kind of vatnik: anti-imperialism. More consistent anti-imperialists call this the “anti-imperialism of idiots”. 1/5
“Anti-imperialism” was popularized by Lenin, who saw imperialism as the ultimate stage of capitalism. Ironically, the largest empire is now… Putin’s Russia, proud heir to both Lenin’s Soviet Union and to the Tsarist Empire. 2/5
Indeed, Russia is an empire that is still ruled by a de facto all-powerful Tsar, that still proudly flies its imperial flag, that still dreams of expanding its already huge territory through brutal conquest and colonization. 3/5
In this 4th Debunk of the Day, we’ll refute an absolute classic of vatnik BS, the crown jewel of peak dishonesty: whataboutism.
Now, not everything that looks like whataboutism is wrong. Seeking consistency or comparing actions or responses is normal. 1/5
But when someone pulls some completely unrelated event, that happened to completely different people, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, you know what you’re dealing with: a crass denial of the problem at hand, a bad-faith attempt to derail the topic. 2/5
Logic or chronology plays no role here, nor your opinion on these other topics. You could be the staunchest critic or supporter of these other actions thrown into the discussion, it doesn’t matter. It is irrelevant whether these other things are true or not, or bad or not. 3/5
In this 3rd Debunk of the Day, we’ll talk about… “ending” the war by surrendering or ceding territory.
Nearing four years of the 2-day “special military operation”, Russia is desperate to obtain through other means what they failed to conquer on the battlefield. 1/5
An endless army of vatniks therefore tries to demoralize both Ukrainians and supporters.
They sound noble: “anti-war” or concerned about the fate of Ukraine’s civilians, soldiers and cities. They claim that if we just stop fighting or helping, this horror would magically end. 2/5
What they never mention is… WHO started the war, WHO murders Ukrainians, WHO destroys Ukrainian cities: the same monsters they suggest Ukrainians be at the mercy of. Surrendering wouldn’t end the atrocities of the occupation, it would enable them. Surrendering wouldn’t even…3/5
