30,000 Bots on Twitter Use Applied Psychology to Push The Great Reset

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

ThinkingSlow has been monitoring Twitter traffic to expose the workings of a major bot operation which aims to amplify The Great Reset policy agenda by increasing “followers,” “likes” and “retweets” of selected accounts.

Automated, or so-called bot, traffic is a significant problem on Twitter’s social media platform, ThinkingSlow stated in a press release on Friday. The traffic is created by automated and semi-automated accounts and used to amplify selected individuals and political messages. This amplification serves a malevolent purpose of manipulating the general public into believing that certain policies are significantly more popular than they are in reality.

They have prepared a downloadable document showing an overview of how these bots work:

Around about 30,000 bots amplify the comments on the relevant individuals that are “on message” and their traffic by a factor of around 100x or more.

There can be several possible explanations, but we are NOT assigning any single explanation. Possibilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Beneficiaries pay to boost volumes.
  • Algorithms choose based on their own criteria.
  • The beneficiary can be aware or unaware of the role of bots.

We are not commenting on who is operating the bot farm … Our assumption is that both Twitter and the relevant cyber security authorities are aware of these activities and have chosen not to prevent them.

Two types of bots have been identified:

  • Covert– covered in symbols appealing to a group and another.
  • Overt – largely blank profile (likes only).

The image below gives an example of each.

In the video below, ThinkingSlow explained the investigation they’ve been conducting, at the global level, relating to these Twitter bots and what impact it has:

“The reason we want to spend a lot of time on this is because people need to understand that these bot farms do not just create themselves and they don’t run themselves. Someone, specifically, is running these bot farms to amplify specific messages, for specific people, at specific times and they have a purpose in mind for doing that.  This is not random noise. 

“So, what we’re seeing over and over again with these bot farms that we’re looking at now is they are amplifying Great Reset/ far-left messages … nationalisation, more government intervention through censorship, climate alarmism … There’s something quite sinister going on by people actually running these operations.

“The purpose is quite clear.  It’s applied psychology.  It’s making unpopular policies appear hundreds of times, maybe thousands of times, more popular than they are in reality.”

ThinkingSlow: Your way out of the matrix, 20 August 2022 (28 mins)

By benchmarking three MPs against their nearest peers (see images below), ThinkingSlow demonstrated the magnitude to which these bots amplify messages.  Please note the third image should be titled “Impact on bot boost Followers and Likes per tweet for Ed Davey compared to adjacent Liberal Democrat constituencies.”

On Friday, ThinkingSlow submitted a complaint to the Commissioner for Standards concerning the manipulation of Twitter traffic on the accounts of four Members of Parliament (“MP”): Zarah Sultana, Chris Bryant, Richard Burgon and Ed Davey.

Based on ThinkingSlow’s extensive analysis of Twitter traffic volumes, the accounts of the above MPs have been identified as recipients of significant automated traffic volumes.

The tweets of these MPs receive something in the region of 5,000 likes per tweet as compared to well-known UK journalists and academics receiving not more than 400 likes per tweet. The level of 5,000 likes per tweet is around 180x higher than other MPs in adjacent constituencies; such anomalies point to automated amplification, ThinkingSlow stated.

Based on samples of likes and retweets (RTs) for the above MPs, we have determined that around 50% to 80% of the likes and RTs for specific tweets are automated and not generated by genuine users.

We have asked the Commissioner for Parliamentary Standards to investigate these claims under the provisions of section V of the Code of Conduct for Members of Parliament as well as looking at a possible breach of the general principle that MPs act with “probity and integrity.”

Press Release (pdf), ThinkingSlow, 7 October 2022

ThinkingSlow’s complaint to the Commissioner for Parliamentary Standards stated:

In the political arena, the primary purpose [of this bot traffic] is to manipulate the viewing public and we believe that this is what the above-mentioned Boosted MPs are allowing to be done (and/or are doing) with the aim of deceiving Twitter users and the general public. This conduct is not consistent with each MP’s obligations under the Code of Conduct, in particular with respect to the overall obligation to act with “probity and integrity”.

Social media activity clearly forms a significant part of the Boosted MPs’ public communication and these activities would therefore fall within the scope of public, rather than private, life. Each of the above-named MPs has produced many thousands of tweets, with the highest figure for Chris Bryant MP with an astounding total of 81.4 thousand tweets. We believe that the enormous level of falsified amplification of the Boosted MPs’ tweets represents a breach of the overall requirement to act with integrity and, specifically, paragraph 17 of section V of the Code.

There may be a related breach of Parliament’s ICT Use Policy, given that such amplification represents a breach of Twitter’s Terms and Conditions, but that is outside the scope of this complaint.

We ask that you investigate these claims and, if confirmed, require the above-named Boosted MPs to make public statements acknowledging the use of automated Twitter traffic, as well as taking steps to stop the amplification of their tweets.

About ThinkingSlow

ThinkingSlow is a working group created in response to the dishonest “science” behind the Covid response.  They explore the real agendas behind the Covid response and future trajectories.

“We have invested thousands of hours into researching Covid itself and the staggering levels of dishonesty around the data, the policy response and media reporting. Those findings are presented [on their website] under the blocks of Covid-19, Statistics, Ethics (and Law), and Great Reset. Most recently we have started a series of interviews about those subjects with some of the world’s and the UK’s leading thinkers.”

Their basic aims and objectives can be found HERE and if you think you would like to be involved, please send a few words, no more than 30-50 words, to ThinkingSlow1@Proton.me.

I’m not on the big social media – and frankly have no interest in it all. I grew up feeling in the minority (I am white) but socially was not part of the big clic’s in my school. I am used to not being a part of the wider society, from that stand point. Now, I am born again Christian so I am in a minority there in the wider culture. My relationship with the Lord is more important to me than anything else in life – that definitely makes we a minority. And I am cool with that! I really am – it may cost me my life, but at my advanced age even that is okay! He has given me a very good llife with many blessings – more than I had ever expected when I left my abusive life at home at age 22 with a degree under my belt.

He deserves all the praise and glory – it’s that simple!

I still don’t know how I am with the ‘Lord’, but apart from that I agree with everything you wrote, have a similar background. I never used social media because it is shallow, people don’t care about each other there. If you care you write a proper email asking about the other but pushing only silly likes.

As much as I understood the problem they use ELF, (extremely low frequencies) to manipulate feelings, due to this, social media sites work as drugs, causing good feeling (or else), people became dependent on them.

“… By use of my microwave detector, I have found that mobile phones of the newer type, give off a pulse modulated microwave signal of around 0.75mW/cm2 at the earpiece. This may be coincidence, but it is exactly the intensity required form behavioural control as found by Dr Ross Adey, the pioneer of microwave mind control. So in theory, an ELF signal could be added to the microwave network to feed a precise behavioural pattern into every mobile phone user in the UK. If their were widespread riots, the ability to broadcast behavioural stimuli to mollify all the mobile phone users in the country would prove useful. Since mobile phone users are generally middle class, it means authority has a useful method of controlling the behaviour of the key voters. Microwave carrier beams are perfect for transmitting the excitation potential of docility to the phone user to keep them servile in times of trouble. When no ELF signal is broadcast the phone acts in a completely different manner on behaviour in humans. In this case the microwave phones causes the neurones to release calcium ions which makes the user tired irritable and when stresses likely to emotional outbursts such as road rage. MICROWAVE MIND CONTROL by Tim Rifat”

“Waves below 6 cycles per second caused the subjects to become very emotionally upset, and even disrupted bodily functions. At 8.2 cycles, they felt very high… an elevated feeling, as though they had been in masterful meditation, learned over a period of years. Eleven to 11.3 cycles induced waves of depressed agitation leading to riotous behavior. The Battle for Your Mind: Brainwashing Techniques Being Used On The Public By Dick Sutphen””

Leave Twitter to the bots, don’t use Twitter. Why mess with scammers?
And Twitter will die quietly.

The EU looked for 450,000 volunteers to lead the narrative on different forums, as the two most spoken languages are English and German they very likely flooded the sites here in the UK, too.

To see interesting bots, read comments on the Daily Mail, especially from a nick called null. He? She? It? contradicts itself almost in every second comment of it(?).

I bet that the soldiers of the UK’ disinformation unit, 77 brigade work hard these days, too. (Lovely they do it on tax money.)

Reading the comments on the odd Yahoo link appears to shoe the same bot control establishing a hard consensus…

Conversely bots can be used to disparage and site and/or comments.
