Republicans are Lying Weirdos: Twitter smear merchant Black Insurrectionist is infamous Trump troll Ali Alexander? Seems to be a white dude named Jason G. Palmer

Republicans love Lies and Hate America.

WASHINGTON (AP) — “Black Insurrectionist,” the anonymous social media persona behind some of the most widely circulated conspiracy theories about the 2024 election, can be traced to a man from upstate New York. He’s also white.

The reach that the Black Insurrectionist account attained with assistance from Trump and his allies demonstrates the ease with which unverified information from dubious sources can metastasize online to shape public opinion. The speed and scale of disinformation has been an animating force in the presidential campaign, with the potential to affect the outcome in a close election.

The Black Insurrectionist account is linked directly to Jason G. Palmer, who has his own questionable backstory, starting with the fact that he isn’t Black, according to an Associated Press review of public records, open source data and interviews with a half-dozen people who interacted closely with Palmer over the past two decades.

Still Fighting the Bad Fight for The Fash

The slimy rightwing liar "Black Insurrectionist" (@DocNetyoutube) is apparently no longer on Twitter, much to the consternation and disappointment to the MAGA Fash who've taken over Twitter to spread non-stop lies.  Black Insurrectionist was one of the daily stops MAGA went to, to get their daily dose of lies, activate their R-complex, invoke their Fear&Anger response, and spend the day in a constant state of agitation.  

I wrote about the utterly evil and ugliest Republican October Surprise being the unconscionable but, predictable false smears of Tim Walz.  Much of the lies and smears of Harris and Walz were spearheaded by Black Insurrectionist on X(Twitter) himself.  While probably not a Russian himself, this writer, Matt Osborne, contends it was infamous Trump troll Ali Alexander, everything it spread has ties to a quick campaign crafted by known Russian disinformation trolls.  As for Ali himself, along with Charlie Kirk, he is remembered chiefly for sending buses full of MAGA criminals to Washington DC and coordinating with other rightwing criminals to try and halt the transfer of power and overthrow the  United States Government.

When Tim Walz correctly labelled Republicans as "weird" it really, really struck a nerve.  For years, Republicans have been living in a bubble of self-delusion and demanded their creepy weirdo ideas were actually mainstream and not wildly out of step with American society, deeply offensive, highly unusual, and off-putting.  Weird.

Senile traitor Trump was particularly perturbed by being called weird.  And used his senile weave technique to declare, 'No Weird! No Weird! You're the Weird!'

So, multiple MAGA propagandists used the #QAnon lies and child grooming/pedophile campaign against Tim Walz.  In early October, former Florida Cop and now Russian disinformation specialist John Mark Dougan, began the hit job against Tim Walz; 

The initial claim emerged on Oct. 5 during a Rumble livestream, where an anonymous man said Walz abused him when he was a Future Leaders Exchange, or FLEX, Program student in Minnesota from 2004 to 2005. The man, whose voice appears altered, was interviewed by John Mark Dougan, a former Florida sheriff’s deputy living in Russia with alleged ties to disinformation campaigns.

Both the U.S. State Department and FLEX told CBS News they have no record “of any FLEX student from Kazakhstan in Mankato area schools from 2000 through 2020.” Mel Helling, the communications director for Mankato Area Public Schools, told CBS News they have no record of the allegations. NewsGuard first reported the claim. 

When contacted by CBS News, Dougan claimed he has the alleged victim’s U.S. visa and the FLEX Program certificate. CBS News reviewed the documents and found several inconsistencies: The date of birth on the visa does not match the age the alleged victim stated in the livestream and the certificate has an incorrect logo on it. 

The claims were picked up by other accounts that are not linked to Russian disinformation. On Oct. 12, an X account credited as Matt Wallace posted a Rumble video where he claimed without evidence that Walz may have acted inappropriately with the students during trips to China. The video was later removed and the user did not respond to a request for comment.  

A third claim surfaced on Oct. 13 when an X account dubbed “Black Insurrectionist” posted grainy screenshots of supposed emails alleging Walz’s misconduct with a minor at a concert in 1995.  

The supposed emails appeared manipulated. Among the clues was a comma in the date-time stamp that is not typically found in emails. “Black Insurrectionist” later deleted their account. Researchers have not linked this account to Russian disinformation.  

On Oct. 16, another claim circulated when a man purporting to be Matthew Metro, a former Mankato West High School student, posted a video alleging Walz sexually assaulted him in 1997. 

However, The Washington Post and AFP reported that a man named Matthew Metro did attend the school but the person in the video is not him. The Post interviewed Metro, who said he never met Walz. 

Hany Farid, a professor at University of California, Berkeley, who specializes in manipulated media, said he believes the video was not created using AI; rather, he believes it is a “cheap fake,” in which a man is impersonating someone else. 

Truth is Irrelevant;
Joey Mannarino pretended to be a black woman

Earlier this year, Dougan fronted the Russian created smear about a Kamala Harris hit-and-run, and has routinely spread anti-Ukraine Russian propaganda which is picked up and uncritically regurgitated by conservatives in the States.

Conservatives have for decades been openly broadcasting their abject hatred of America and the ways in which anyone paying attention could influence and control them and one of the intelligence victories by the FSB, GRU, and Russian Government has been to collect this open-source intel and repeat Republicans hatred for America back to them.

One of the most depressing things about this whole smear is how ready, how eager, and how easily Republicans will swallow such propaganda.  Truth is Irrelevant.  Because what MAGA wants to be true is true. 

MAGA loves lies
And being lied to

I pointed out how eager MAGA is to be lied to by Trump, look at how they loved being lied to about he "took a shift serving fries" at a McDonald's.  MAGA yearns to be lied to about everything.  Lies and conspiracies confirm what they've always believed, what they've been told by 50 years of Elon Musk, of Faux News, of Racist Limbaugh, of every Republican.

And so what all those years of brainwashing have lead to is the complete capture of the Republican Party and all their minds by a creepy, weird, racist, rapist grifter with the slimy charisma of a cheap Mobster from Manhattan.
