Trolls sometimes get assigned to high-value-targets. They are generally human/bot composites.

I was gonna say some pretty unimpressive communication skills at best. I could never really get the gist of what the heck he was even saying. Probably he's just smarter than me I am sure...

All I can think right now is that with the massive amount of hacking and backstabbing going on, is that there is a full on push to discredit those that have been trying to wake people up to the potential harms from these injections and to the full on assault of individual rights and freedoms. The ones that are pushing these are in full on attack mode which means that people are waking up! Keep doing what you are doing Jessica! Your expertise stretches my brain much of the time- and that’s a good thing!

Transcription software also at play. Luck and look, and a few other skews. And the taunt! Very funny.

His comments became obvious that the goal was to flood the thread using provocation and insults, to get everyone off the topic at hand, and respond instead to provocation and insults.

There seems to be a concerted effort underway to derail true scientific enquiry on Substack.

I don't generally subscribe to blocking or banning either Jess, but suspect if it's only a 24hr ban, he'll be back to derail every thread. Make it permanent.

Seems to me that it should be "not a good look." There are a lot of speakers of English who learn idioms incorrectly. The same is true of the later expression "in mass," which presumably should be "en masse," borrowed from Latin. A lot of people are not "detail oriented" and do not pick up these details.

I once used the phrase 'ad feminam' after an attack like this on a woman and someone tried to Latin-splain me. But you're right: idioms are often a problem for language learners! 'En masse' is from French, though, no?

Thomas J. Piccone's avatar

I am sure that you are correct. I have never learned either Latin or French, but (possibly expecting a flame war for saying this) French is largely "borrowed" from Latin also!

You're a nice gal and I get the feeling these type of people can really weigh heavy in your mind. It's a good sign that you are a target because no doubt, there are hired trolls sent to mess with people like you.

Sounds like a poorly educated AI version (Ivy league AI maybe? 🤔) wrote that note…🤣

Expand full comment
Thomas J. Piccone's avatar

Perhaps a "poorly educated" AI could write it, but any competently trained AI should not make elementary English mistakes. AI is noted for producing entirely "correct" but rather bland sentences and paragraphs (apart from "hallucinations" in which content is simply invented).

when i was injured by the vx and then attacked for talking about it on twitter i decided to make replies to my posts “follower-only,” and i do that to protect those who want to have a real discussion. those who’ve also been hurt/bereaved deserve the space to speak w/o harassment.

it felt antithetical to my dedication to “free debate” but there is no free debate with pharma/darpa trolls and “software that mimics personas” nipping at our heels.

“software that mimics personas” is very much a thing. just search this for that phrase and you’ll get the gist of what i know personally: https://www.brookhines.com/p/neoliberals-glamping-in-death-valley

Brook -

Thnx for sharing your related stack here.

https://www.brookhines.com/p/neoliberals-glamping-in-death-valley

Love great storytelling & your desert trip retreat take here on the promoted use of celebs/influencers to sell prog-political party lines (in place of facts/experts) is priceless. The crazed neo-lib Dims controlling/surveilling all of you themselves (NO cells) while hiding from the Kremlin! was classic political parody/paranoia gone wild. ;-)

And mention of using the bogus Russiagate/Steele Dossier psyop to convince participants to go along with group-think is also classic. We're all on the same page, right? No doubters here.

.

Well... mebbe they shoulda discussed/work-shopped around the topic of the big bad US UNI-Party of craven & synchophantic "law-makers" in cahoots with the trillion dollar farma industry. ALL of whom go along with farma to legislate against us in order to drug us/inject our kids w/newly developed synthetic additives/petro/chemicals/toxins for invented conditions & diseases. :/

There's NO drug stone left un-turned in "Rockefeller Medicine Men" world.. :/ Will they ever run out of newly identified "illnesses" in order to sell us product?? Problem, reaction, solution.

Thank you for reminding us that this is just another attempt, AI or not, to silence the truth. A few weeks back I had to block a few of these commentors that had little to say except to infer that I was a bad person because the the pandemic caused so many deaths (how are these two statements even connected)?

His letter reads much like the "chinglish" in Chinese-produced instruction manuals.

Perhaps he is operating from a CCP troll farm, if not from a three-letter-agency-funded "anti-disinformation" group.

The comments, as compared to the posts, on the Will Thompson account sound like they're written by 2 different people (& in fact show an author named Aman Onerth).

Each post shows a 1yr date, yet 'like' activity is less than a week old.

Suspicious all round.
