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 explain the context of the upcoming Budapest Blunder, and how it follows the infamous Alaska Fiasco from two months ago and Trump’s absurd delaying of serious aid to Ukraine and effective sanctions on Russia for the past nine months.
1/20
Two months ago, Trump embarrassed the United States by rolling out the red carpet for war criminal dictator Putin and overall acting like a pathetic servant eager to meet his master. Of course, the Alaska Fiasco didn’t bring peace any closer.
Worse, the main outcome of the humiliation was to delay serious sanctions, which the US Congress, in rare bipartisan unity against Russia, was on the verge of passing. Two weeks by two weeks, Trump Always Chickens Out, postponing any real pressure on Putin for 9 months now.
In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce American propagandist Alexandra Jost, aka “Sasha” (@sashameetsrus). She’s best known for being paid by the Russian state to spread pro-Kremlin propaganda — and for doing it with a big smile.
1/23
Alexandra, now 26, was born in Hong Kong. Her father is from Texas, and her mother is from Siberia. According to her, she has “dreamed of living in Russia since childhood.” Sasha's mother runs a dance studio in Moscow and her younger brother is avoiding mobilization.
2/23
Since the beginning of her creator career, Sasha has been adamant about one thing: that she’s “never had to be paid” to speak of her “love” for Russia. But, as always with Russia, this turned out to be nothing but vranyo — a Russian “tactical lie.”
In today’s Vatnik Soup REBREW, I’ll reintroduce an American political commentator and pro-Kremlin propagandist, Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson). He’s best known for his promotion of crazy conspiracy theories and for his support of authoritarian regimes around the world.
1/24
Tucker’s career spans decades, but he’s also been very active in recent years, so a lot has happened since our previous soup on him, which can be found here:
Once described as “the most powerful conservative in America”, Tucker has now fully transformed into a grifting conspiracy theorist and propagandist willing to work for whoever pays him the most. It’s unclear whether Tucker truly believes his endless conspiracy theories or…
3/24
In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll cover the agenda-setting and flood of disinformation that spread on X and other platforms right after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. It’s far from the first or last time a tragedy has been weaponized for political purposes.
1/18
Every major political event, especially those involving violence, attracts massive attention. In the immediate aftermath, reliable information is scarce, making it highly vulnerable to both coordinated and improvised disinformation campaigns.
2/18
As I’ve mentioned in my previous soups and lectures, in disinformation campaigns, being first with a narrative is crucial, as people often remember the first version best — psychology studies show it sets the mental schema, and later updates rarely overwrite it.
In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce American social media personality David Freeman, AKA Gunther Eagleman™ (@GuntherEagleman). He’s best known for spreading political disinformation on X and shamelessly sucking up to Trump, Putin, and other authoritarian leaders.
1/22
David is a textbook example of someone profiting from MAGA grievance politics. He uses extreme, provocative language to farm engagement on X and never hesitates to flatter anyone who might give him more exposure — or money.
2/22
But David wasn’t always like this. At some point, in his mid-40s, he even tried a real job: he trained to become a cop. He spent three years with the Metro Transit PD, but after that he either got fired or quit, and never looked back.
