A thread on Papichulomin:
This is a thread about a long-time Youtuber who is in the UK and is very interested in telling people not to vote for Joe Biden, despite the fact that these elections don& #39;t exactly apply to him.

[2] Now, Richard Medhurst or Richard McGinty (as his Youtube address shows) has privatized a number of his videos that he created over the years. We& #39;ll come back to that in a bit.
Directly behind him in the screenshot above, there& #39;s a poster which reads "Riverline." We& #39;ll come -

[3] back to that, also.
Of the videos that remain on his channel from 3 years ago & before, none of them show him being interested in Syria whatsoever. They do show that he has been trying to build a Youtube audience for some time. They also show he& #39;s a pretty good impersonator.

[4] In the video from 6 years ago, we see that in the title, it includes the name "Richi Rich." That was the rap name of Richard Medhurst/McGinty/Papi Chulomin. He& #39;s really good at impersonating Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park. Exceptionally good, in fact.
[5] Returning to the screenshot in the initial tweet, I& #39;d like to transcribe what he says at the start of that video.
"If you think that I& #39;m going to defend Joe Biden after he bombed my country and I haven& #39;t seen my family in 10 years, then you can go and ** yourself."
"If you think that I& #39;m going to defend Joe Biden after he bombed my country and I haven& #39;t seen my family in 10 years, then you can go and ** yourself."
[6] This is about Syria. He makes that clear on his newer Twitter account. Yet on his Youtube channel that he created in 2006, there are zero concerns voiced about Syria or his family from 2006-2016.
We see a Pepe meme. We see him faking outrage over supermarkets & exams.

[7] On his older Twitter account, he doesn& #39;t mention Syria even once. The war has been going on for years, but he only recently voiced any concern about it, which is peculiar if his family is there. No Syrian flag in the profile, nada.
Recall the Riverline poster from before?

[8] Contrast that with his current use of discussions about Syria as a way to tell people in the US not to vote for Joe Biden.
He says he speaks Arabic. He speaks multiple languages, including French. He& #39;s really skilled with languages, that& #39;s indisputable.

[9] He also occasionally speaks with a Hispanic accent. He does a good impression of a German, as well. He& #39;s very, very talented at impressions and is a good actor. That& #39;s also indisputable.
Someone even remarked about how impeccable his French is, to which he said he& #39;s British

[10] Before his recent proclamations about being Syrian, he said he& #39;s English multiple times.
[11] Under his original Twitter handle, he linked to various YouTube videos he put out, which was all about his music. Many of those videos have been made private since. Same goes for an Instagram and Facebook account.
[12] A few years ago, the guy was repped by a group called SC Global Entertainment for awhile, under his rap name "Richi Rich." His manager was Scott Cook.
[14] Richi Rich had a website. The archives show that he was also stating he& #39;s from London, UK. And this is from years ago, mind you.
Additionally, the bio reads "He spent most of his youth in Vienna, Austria."

[15] Archives of his Youtube channel also reflect that he is an "English rapper and producer from Vienna, Austria."
This record is from Jan 2013.

[16] Until recently, no one was claiming he was from Syria, not even himself.
Yet here he is, working from the UK and interfering in the 2020 elections. Why?
