THREAD : IS A CCP BOTNET HELPING TRUMP?

1/ Last night Trump went on a tweet rage. Of note he quoted the tweets of Paul Sperry multiple times. Sperry is a Right Wing "journalist" whose articles have often pushed Trump's disinformation & inaccurate statements........,

2/ Paul Sperry has continually pushed discredited disinformation (including disinformation originating from Russian state sources). He has attacked journalists & been a water carrier for Trump , his lies & his agenda. In short, Sperry is not a journalist, but an opinion writer

3/ The last 24hrs, following the DNI's incomplete release of intelligence docs relating to 2016, former CIA Director John Brennan accused John Ratcliffe of using selectively declassified intel to paint a misleading picture of events in 2016. Sperry additionally twisted this info

4/ Should be no surprise then that Trump quoted Paul Sperry on multiple occasions last night. When we see who was boosting Trump & Sperry, it starts to become very intriguing. Note the 4 replies under Sperry's tweet last night. We shall examine each acct. @ Wendy31476301 first

5/ @ Wendy31476301 is a Chinese language acct linked to Steve Bannon & Guo Wengui . This acct regularly attacks Joe Biden & backs Trump. Wendy acct hyperlinks to two Bannon/Wengui accounts. The first acct is http://warroom.org  . Then there is the second acct......,

6/ The second Bannon/Guo Wengui account that is hyperlinked to the Wendy acct is http://guo.media  , which comes up as a CNAME cross-user banned error message when one tries to access the site. Both sites push conspiracy theories and disinformation

7/ It was Guo Wengui's boat that Steve Bannon was on when he was arrested a month or so ago. Guo is also in hot water as the FBI is investigating Guo & his media network for fraud, money laundering & threats he made to China pro democracy advocates. Lots not adding up with Guo

8/ In fact, the Bannon/Wengui linked account @ Wendy31476301 has aspects about its followers & accts it's following that are raising alarm bells. It has many accounts that are based in China following it. Additionally there are many accounts that have only recently been created

9/ Some more examples. Given Guo Wengui is supposedly a fugitive from the PRC, wanted for crimes, it beggers belief that Chinese based accounts are interacting freely with a Guo acct, unless, as reported by numerous media outlets including Miami Herald, Guo works for China's MSS

10/ Going back to who responded to Paul Sperry's tweets last night in support of Trump, we find the account @ AmericanOptima. This account has only tweeted 359 times since its creation in Dec 2017, yet it has magically managed to attract 14.2K followers & a YouTube channel

11/ The 3rd example of a suspect account that replied to Paul Sperry was @ 127bama. This account has 11K followers & is following 11.1K. These accounts are highly dubious as their followers & following are almost identical in high numbers.This is a characteristic of a fake acct

12/ 4th example that replied to the Paul Sperry acct is the @ partduex2 acct. This account purports to be a "Q Patriot" and a US Navy Veteran. The account was only created this year, in May 2020. Veterans accounts are highly faked so that people will follow or won't block them

13/ Botnets piggy backing onto an account like Paul Sperry is how Trump's tweets get boosted & disseminated. By Trump tagging & tweeting Sperry, the botnets activate. Chinese language accounts are targeting the Chinese diaspora & are contributing to the disinformation chaos
