#the psyops

Russia is the most prolific state actor, followed by China and Iran.

ALMOST 1 BILLION ACCOUNTS.

That is the level of mass manipulation we're looking at, guys. Almost 1 billion accounts in the year of 2024 were suspended as being part of various psyops efforts from state actors.

@stele3 is very likely part of a psyop trying to interfere with the 2020 US election

stele3 is replying to various posts, largely by supporters of US Presidential Nominee Bernie Sanders, and leveraging the reported 2016 Russian interference as an authority with which to dissuade users from believing true information disseminated on the web platform Tumblr. In an insidious move, stele3 is using a narrative of election interference to commit election interference.

stele3 is attempting to weave deception and interfere with how the Public perceives truth, with the specific goal to destabilize support of the democratic candidate most likely to beat Trump, Bernie Sanders, in attempt to pursue the reelection of Trump to continue to allow foreign (ie: Russian) influence exerted as was done in the 2016 election.

When looking at posts that stele3 makes the baseless assertion of being psyops, it appears to be mostly posts from left-leaning users that are critical of the Democratic National Committee or in support of Bernie Sanders.

Example:

Previous claims of “psyops” were rooted in “evidence” such as “a message was sent to multiple inboxes”

Worse, an American Hero and Whistleblower who is dedicated to the transparency of information and fair elections, Edward Snowden, is immediately dismissed as a psyop on the evidence of “supporting Bernie Sanders”. The beginning of their “the psyops” tag corresponds with the early stages of the 2020 Primary media cycle.

As in the past, claims of psyops revolve around attempting to silence voices critical of ruling establishment and the voices of minorities. Many of the alleged bots (allegations made with little to no evidence presented) in 2016 were activists for issues affecting Black Americans who were critical of Hillary Clinton for her poor track record with racial issues. It is no coincidence that once again one of the primary targets of attempted erasure is Americans utilizing their right to be critical of US Institutional Power.

While this user has accurately identified other dissemination of information as bad faith actors (ex: identifying the OP of a post critical of Kamala Harris as a white nationalist). As discussed in the 2016 elections, psyops will often have accurate information among their disinformation to give greater appearances of legitimacy.

When faced with criticism, they fabricate claims of attempted malware and cite fabricated claims as evidence.

To throw up a smoke screen stele3 appears to have both faked a mass sending of anonymous messages to themself, as well as making baseless accusations of malware being tied to these (which a plain text message is not capable of doing). Given the ease of which one can disable anonymous messages, it is highly suspicious of any blog to receive allegedly 112 anonymous messages that somehow give malware by having the plaintext “idiot” and “moron”. In an effective false-flag operation, stele3 is trying to acheive more legitimacy via fake evidence.

70% of Jews say anti-Zionism is antisemitism.

So are we carving out an exception for Jewish people? Are we saying that Jewish people uniquely don’t get to define hatred and prejudice against them?

Lemme use my mom as an example.

My mother used to be an environmental activist. That was her big thing in the 90’s, was the environment. She planted trees and bushes around my grade school. She took me and my brother to the local farmer’s market to collect signatures to close a local nuclear power plant. (Not saying nuclear power is antithetical to the environment, just saying that she felt it was and she was very involved.)

Now, there was a subsection of the environmentalist movement that focused a lot on population growth and how unsustainable it is. Mom got hooked into that. Pretty soon she was talking about how we needed to curtail population growth before we ran out of natural resources.

Then, gradually, it became about immigration. Immigrants drive a lot of the population growth in the U.S. She became a hardcore anti-immigration activist and joined the Minutemen.

None of this was designed by anyone. No one person sat down and planned out how to radicalize my mom from being an environmental activist to a right-wing nation. But this represents exactly the kind of path you want to take if you’re trying to manipulate someone into doing what you want: you find some part of what they already believe (the environment needs our help) and hook that into the next step (population growth is bad), and then the next (eco-fascism), and so on. At every step you have to make the person feel good about their beliefs, and challenging their beliefs drastically doesn’t usually work; you want to feed the “I was right” loop, but introduce just enough of your own agenda that they incorporate it into their own beliefs.

During the height of the COVID pandemic, the US military ran an anti-vax psyop in the Philippines.

I want to be clear that the world is naturally rife with antisemitism, and that is not manufactured. One of the primary principles of psychological operations is that you can't make someone believe something they don't already, on some level, agree with.

Yes, there were bomb threats made to voting centers from Russian origins.

No, there is not a discrepancy in the millions. No, there is not a vast conspiracy that, if revealed, could overturn the election result. No, a recount will not reveal enough discrepancies to change the result; Trump won by enough of a margin in multiple states that a few issues, which are common in most elections of this size, would change the result.
