X (formerly Twitter) added a surprising new feature this week.

Transparency as to which country an account was from and operating.
And using a VPN got an exclamation mark beside it to show you were using one.

Literally THOUSANDS of accounts on both sides of the political spectrum were outed immediately. Some were simply cooking and meal idea accounts trying to make food suggestions for the profit sharing....and nobody would listen to a Kenyan on how to make Yankee pot roast. (Laughable but not exactly immoral)

But the sheer volume of political intrigue has been revealed. Major players on social media have been unmasked.

It's been quite unsettling for many who have deleted their accounts....(because they have been lying the whole time)

Yup.

Funny how the left is always accusing accounts of being “Russian bots”, yet the vast majority of the bots are from India, Pakistan, and the Middle East.

Most bots are right wing troll accounts. By the way... where is yours?

X has a lot of right leaning accounts ....maybe more than Left leaning ones....dunno. I'm not sure.

So it would stand to reason that more people are trying to influence the Republicans than influence the out of power Democrats.

And if the balance of power shifted....and the Democrats actually had any power....then the bots would shift focus as well.

What I have not seen is Chinese accounts.
(Suspiciously absent).

Yet EVERY cyber security agency talks about the huge Chinese presence on the internet.

Just saying....

China's agents operate outside of their country
 
EXCERPT:

The deception runs deeper than fake patriots. Accounts claiming to be journalists reporting from Gaza, complete with heart-wrenching stories and donation links, turned out to be operating from Poland, Egypt, and East Asia. The Times of Gaza, with nearly a million followers, claims “Location: Palestine” but is actually based in East Asia. Multiple accounts soliciting donations for “starving families in Gaza” were exposed as operating from the UK, Netherlands, and Nigeria. One account raised $34,000 through GoFundMe while apparently posting from Nigeria, not Gaza.


Even more disturbing, popular accounts that spent months pushing narratives about “Zionist control” of America and spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jeffrey Epstein being an Israeli agent weren’t even American. They were posting from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and North Africa while pretending to be concerned American citizens. Let me ask you something—how does it feel knowing that the ‘patriot’ you’ve been retweeting is actually some guy in Islamabad making money off your outrage? As Middle East analyst Eitan Fischberger observed, these toxic narratives “didn’t just appear organically. They were designed to sever the historic, unparalleled U.S.-Israel partnership.”
