Ich habe mit ihm gechattet und ich glaube nicht, dass ich ihn überzeugen konnte. Er ist leider nicht auf spezifische Fakes eingegangen, ich weiß nicht seit wann er mit Machado in Kontakt steht

One of these influencers, conspiracy theorist Daniel Gugger from Switzerland, told me that the Storm-1516 stories he shared were sent to him by a “Brazilian journalist” - turns out: it’s Raphael Machado. Gugger claims he thought the stories were true.

Machado has been spreading several Storm-1526 campaigns in the past. A few weeks ago, Nova Resistência published a totally fake story about Germany funding a football stadium in Brazil. It was disseminated by the same influencer bubble that spreads Storm-1516 content on X.

Machado frames himself as a geopolitical analyst. He is the leader - together with Lucas Leiroz - of the Brazilian neo-fascist organization Nova Resistência. He is a fan of Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin, who, with his Center for Geopolitical Expertise, is said to be involved in Storm-1516.

I would like to briefly introduce you to Raphael Machado, a pro-Russian propagandist who apparently works for several disinformation campaigns - it looks like he’s in a coordinating role for both Doppelganger and Storm-1516.

Es kursiert die falsche Behauptung, der Tatverdächtige, der letzte Woche einen Zugbegleiter angriff, sei Syrer und heiße Mustafa Aslan. Die Staatsanwaltschaft betont: Nein, der Mann sei ein in Griechenland geborener griechischer Staatsbürger, gemeldet in Luxemburg. Und heiße nicht so. #Faktencheck

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Can‘t stop shaking my head after reading this. Either this has been the most amateurish thing or the biggest diversion tactic ever.

CDC website altered to suggest possible link between vaccines and autism
New guidance published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggesting vaccines may cause autism has been slammed by medical and autism advocacy groups.

CDC changes website to say “vaccines don’t cause autism” is not an evidence-based claim bc science didn’t rule out this possibily. 🤦♀️ It’s not possible to prove that something doesn’t exist. But if decades of research didn’t find a link… that usually means it’s not there. www.bmj.com/content/391/...

Diese Recherche war herausfordernd. Nicht nur, weil es per se schwer ist, Betrügern online auf die Schliche zu kommen. Sondern auch, weil alles weniger schwarz-weiß war als erwartet.

Auch wenn politische Werbung da wohl bald passé ist, würden mich Analysen zur Effektivität von Wahlwerbung bei Meta interessieren. Schafft man es so, Menschen zu überzeugen, die man vorher noch nicht bei sich hatte? Remember, bei der BTW haben die Grünen mit Abstand am meisten Geld hier gelassen.

Brennende Elektroautos sind praktisch nicht zu löschen und eine riesige Brandgefahr, heißt es immer wieder. Aber ist da was dran?
#E-Autos brennen nicht häufiger als gewöhnliche #Verbrenner, auch wenn online öfter das Gegenteil behauptet wird. Was sagen Statistiken, Versicherer und die #Feuerwehr? CORRECTIV.Faktencheck hat nachgehakt.
