⬆️ #Doppelganger "foreign malign influence campaign" #FMIC extensively monitors and collects information about a large number of media organizations and social media #influencers as well as #antiInfluencers

This is still ongoing. Remember those zero-follower accounts following you.

I don't have much of a following, but at some point, I can see my account being tracked as an #antiInfluencer 😂

They also add information captured through monitoring to dashboards and analyze trends & effectiveness.

⬆️ #Doppelganger "foreign malign influence campaign" #FMIC impersonate #US and other non- #Russian citizens through the creation of fake social media profiles. [Still ongoing. Remember those zero-follower accounts following you]

Then, that social media profile, posing as an American or other non-Russian citizen, would post content promoting a pro-Russian narrative and include a hyperlink to the cybersquatted domain impersonating a news outlet like The #WashingtonPost or #FoxNews

⬆️ #Doppelganger "foreign malign influence campaign" #FMIC posed as citizens of other countries to influence their publics.

“When providing a narrative it’s important to remember that this is ‘from a #German to a German’, ‘from a #Frenchman to a Frenchman’!”

⬆️ #Doppelganger "foreign malign influence campaign" #FMIC was not constrained to "specific countries"; rather, “false stories spread could be initiated everywhere, in different countries, even launched through media,” and influencers, a “media cluster” with “40-50 websites per country”

And when they spread disinformation "everywhere," they really meant EVERYWHERE, including #Russia itself 🙄 to influence #Russian elections.

“Our battlefield is here. That’s why men are not in #Donbas.” 👀

⬆️ #DoppelgangerAffidavit notes that the "foreign malign influence campaign" #FMIC specifically chose #Germans as target for #disinformation and to induce its "business elites"into "bypassing sanctions."

Suggested pieces of disinformation include fake reports of an #American soldier raping a #German woman 🤮

FMIC was not limited to #Germany. They were eager to target #France as well by luring a #French businessman to do an "interview" with #RRN

Wonder what #TuckerCarlson is doing these days

⬆️ #DoppelgangerAffidavit notes that the conspirators acknowledges the "foreign malign influence campaign" #FMIC as an "impossible task"

Initially they targeted 5 countries, but later decided to focus on #Germany rather than #France.

They agreed that “first and foremost, we need to discredit the #USA, #GreatBritain and #NATO," and "secondly, … " the need to convince #Germans to oppose the "inefficient politics of sanctions"

Also, they changed #RussianReliableNews to #RecentReliableNews #RRN 🙄
