Matt Taibbi's Twitter Files #15: Uncovering the Hamilton68 "Russian Disinformation" Scam

It was all a lie from the start.

Even Twitter knew it was a lie -- and considered going public to call Hamilton68 and Bill Kristol and Michael McFaul and all the shrieking "RUSSIAN AGENT!" smear merchants liars in public.

But they were cowards, and instead tried leaking it to the press.

Who didn't seem very interested in the story.

But Hamilton68's "Secret List" of RUSSIAN AGENTS who proved that right-wing memes and arguments were being "AMPLIFIED BY THE KREMLIN" was always a lie.

That's why they kept the list a secret. If they published the names of the Americans, Canadians, and Brits on the list, people would see it was all a lie.

And then those people, I think, could sue Hamilton 68, Alliance for Securing Democracy, Bill Kristol and, who knows, maybe George Soros too, who is surely one of the donors to this corrupt scheme.

Again, news organizations which do not publicly disavow these Hamilton 68 stories should not be trusted, and subscribers/followers of such outlets -- the @nytimes, @washingtonpost, @CNNnewsroom, @NBCNews, and especially @MotherJones-- should write in to complain.


The whole point was to brand conservative discussion as "Russian Disinformation."

And Bill Kristol was in the thick of it, as usual.

7. The ASD ["Alliance for Security Democracy," another Bill Kristol grift] advisory council includes neoconservative writer Bill Kristol, former Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, ex-Hillary for America chief John Podesta, and former heads or deputy heads of the CIA, NSA, and the Department of Homeland Security.

8. News outlets for years cited Watts and Hamilton 68 when claiming Russian bots were "amplifying" an endless parade of social media causes -- against strikes in Syria, in support of Fox host Laura Ingraham, the campaigns of both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.

Any time conservatives were interested in a subject or had a disagreement with The Regime, Hamilton68 was right there to claim their arguments were all being "signal-boosted" by RUSSIAN AGENTS.

9. Hamilton 68 was the source for stories claiming Russian bots pushed terms like "deep state" or hashtags like #FireMcMaster, #SchumerShutdown, #WalkAway, #ReleaseTheMemo, #AlabamaSenateRace, and #ParklandShooting, among many others.

Almost all of these tweets have screencaps -- evidence -- linked in them. I'm skipping that, but do check the thread to see that.

And now: We come to Hamilton68's "methodology" for branding all of these accounts and all of this social media activity "RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION."

They say they had a list. A secret list, mind you! A secret list so secret they had to keep it secret, so that the Russkies wouldn't know they had the list!

10. The secret ingredient to Hamilton 68's analytical method? A list: "Our analysis has linked 600 Twitter accounts to Russian influence activities online," was how the site put it at launch.

11. Hamilton 68 never released the list, claiming "the Russians will simply shut [the accounts] down." All those reporters and TV personalities making claims about "Russian bots" never really knew what they were describing.


They claimed -- with breathless disregard to how they were repeating the McCarthy-era claims of secret lists of communists (except, um, those lists were real) -- they had a Secret List of Russian Accounts, and they could tell who was being amplified through RUSSIAN MANIPULATION, because they knew who the RUSSIAN AGENTS were.

But it's a secret! The list is secret!

But just trust them!

Would Bill Kristol lie to you?

Well, as a matter of fact: Yes. Yes Bill Kristol would like to you.


14. In layman's terms, the Hamilton 68 barely had any Russians. In fact, apart from a few RT accounts, it's mostly full of ordinary Americans, Canadians, and British.

15. It was a scam. Instead of tracking how "Russia" influenced American attitudes, Hamilton 68 simply collected a handful of mostly real, mostly American accounts, and described their organic conversations as Russian scheming.

16. Twitter immediately recognized these Hamilton-driven news stories posed a major ethical problem, potentially implicating them.

"Real people need to know they've been unilaterally labeled Russian stooges without evidence or recourse," Roth wrote.

17.Some Twitter execs badly wanted to out Hamilton 68. After Russians were blamed for hyping the #ParklandShooting hashtag, one wrote:

"Why can't we say we've investigated... and citing Hamilton 68 is being wrong, irresponsible, and biased?"

18.Yoel Roth wanted a confrontation. "My recommendation at this stage is an ultimatum: you release the list or we do," he wrote.

However, there were internal concerns about taking on the politically connected Alliance for Securing Democracy.

19."We have to be careful in how much we push back on ASD publicly," said future White House and NSC spokesperson Emily Horne.

20."I also have been very frustrated in not calling out Hamilton 68 more publicly, but understand we have to play a longer game here," wrote Carlos Monje, the future senior advisor to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.


21. So the "legitimate people," as one Twitter exec called them, never found out they'd been used as fodder for mountains of news stories about "Russian influence." Because the #TwitterFiles contain the list, they've begun finding out.

22."I'm shocked," says Sonia Monsour, who as a child lived through civil war in Lebanon. "Supposedly in a free world, we are being watched at many levels, by what we say online."


23. "I've written a book about the U.S. Constitution," says Chicago-based lawyer Dave Shestokas. "How I made a list like this is incredible to me."


24. "When I was growing up, my father told me about the McCarthyite blacklist," says Oregon native Jacob Levich. "As a child it would never have occurred to me that this would come back, in force and broadly, in a way... designed to undermine rights we hold dear."

25. Even Twitter execs were stunned to read who was on the list. Wrote policy chief Nick Pickles about British comic @Holbornlolz: "A wind-up merchant... I follow him and wouldn't say he's pro-Russian... I can't even remember him tweeting about Russia."

26. I'm listed as a foreign bot?" said conservative media figure Dennis Michael Lynch. "As a proud taxpaying citizen, charitable family man, and honest son of a U.S. Marine, I deserve better. We all do!"

27. Consortium editor Joe Lauria too was angered to find he was on the list, which targeted voices across the spectrum: "Organizations like Hamilton 68 are in business to enforce an official narrative, which means excising inconvenient facts, which they call 'misinformation.'"


32. It was a lie. The illusion of Russian support was created by tracking people like Joe Lauria, Sonia Monsour, and Dave Shestokas. Virtually every major American news organization cited these fake tales-- even fact-checking sites like Snopes and Politifact.

"Even fact-checking sites like Snopes and Politifact."

LOL.

Is he joking? Was that a gag?


33.Twitter didn't have the guts to out Hamilton 68 publicly but did try to speak to reporters off the record. "Reporters are chafing," said Horne. "It's like shouting into a void."

34. Roth was offended by the idea that tweets on certain themes suggested subversion. "Can we talk about how incredibly condescending...? If you talk about these themes, you must have been duped by Russian propaganda."

Even Yoel Roth rejected Bill Kristol's corrupt, defamatory disinformation.

35. Again, even Roth, like most Twitter execs an ardent Democratic partisan, saw that the Hamilton scheme would lead people "to assert that any right-leaning content is propagated by Russian bots."

36.At least two other research institutions that used similar methodologies -- and were cited as sources in news stories -- were also criticized in Twitter email correspondence.

37.MSNBC, Watts, the Washington Post, Politico, Mother Jones (which did at least 14 Hamilton 68 stories), the Alliance for Securing Democracy, and the offices of politicians like Dianne Feinstein all refused comment, unless this counts:

asdresponse.jpg

38.This was an academic scandal as well, as Harvard, Princeton, Temple, NYU, GWU, and other universities promoted Hamilton 68 as a source...

39.Perhaps most embarrassingly, elected officials promoted the site, and invited Hamilton "experts" to testify. Dianne Feinstein, James Lankford, Richard Blumenthal, Adam Schiff, and Mark Warner were among the offenders.

40.The mix of digital McCarthyism and fraud did great damage to American politics and culture. News outlets that don't disavow these stories, or still pay Hamilton vets as analysts, shouldn't be trusted. Every subscriber to those outlets to write to editors about the issue.

More coming from his site, Racket News. That's his renamed substack, which was formerly TK News.

48 Every single thing about Russian Collusion was a lie (and projection) intended to hamstring/ruin Trump's presidency, and subordinate and discredit Trump. Remember there was no "honeymoon" period. Not even a fake one. Not even for a day.

That's why the various investigations only mattered inasmuch as it gave the Left something to report and talk about every day on The Cables and on their fake stupid scam disinformation websites.

I went through this in detail as it was all happening. It was 95% Narrative, the other 5% was intimidation, persecution, and the Left having fun.

Mueller got them through the first two years and the midterms, then shortly thereafter (like - seconds later) it was the Ukraine Phone Call scam and Impeachment, then it was Coof.

Then they stole the election and four years was gone like that {insert Kevin Spacey finger poof}

84 Ace,
My take: none of this matters! I mean, it matters, but no one in AZ or GA or WI or NH or NV or MI or PA, etc. is going to give a rat's ass about this in 2024. It's too complex and wonky and has nothing to do with their day to day lives since they don't use Twitter.

We are spilling too much ink about this stuff, as nefarious and disgusting as it is. I want to win in 2024 and going on about this probably won't move the needle. I don't think Youngkin is the right candidate for Pres. in 2024, but how was he able to flip Virginia from blue to red? That's what the laser should be painting. What happened 2-3 three years ago on Twitter. come 2024 might be about as high on the list of grievances as climate change. What do we need to do to win? Talk about the Twitter files and gonifs like Bill Crystal or topics that might move the electorate (if mail in voting can be overcome)?

Then along came Jonah and Derbyshire and the explosion of blogs after 9/11 and you started to realize the shape of con, inc. The things that had always niggled at you started to take root, but still you did not think they were bad guys- they were just out of touch with real people.

Then you start to realize that some of the new fresh voices are just retreads of the same tired hacks. Some of the new voices get purged along the way but you figure everyone is still on the same side.

Whether you like it or not, Trump not only defied the odds and got elected against the opinion of many of these same "experts in what Trump should do", his own party and certainly the opposition party and global media, but he had an incredibly successful presidency in spite of unimaginable headwinds and threats to his person, family, legacy and livelihood that most people couldn't or wouldn't want to fathom 5% of.

It is not looking good because essentially, most of the elite in our country and others throughout the West are corrupt, evil, and self serving assholes and because they staff our government offices at the highest levels--our government itself is unable to reign in their behavior.

So you get Madison's Fed 46, if confidence is drained from the national level of government, then the people must turn to the states for a functional government--if the states themselves are corrupted, then you get basically where the people have to rectify the difference between the government's powers on paper and the reality of today.

Trump has flaws. A bunch of criticisms about him are perfectly valid.

OTOH, his presidency was a very good one, better than modern "Republicans" have ever churned out, and seen in the light of a non-stolen 2020 election - it would have been historically great and we wouldn't need to be having this argument.

I have no problem with people backing The New Guy because they never quite dug the old guy and his embarrassing flaws, but there are severe perils to backing The New Guy. Which ironically, the old guy sort of made people forget.

As you mentioned, Lamont, there are always going to be "new data points". We certainly haven't seen all of DeSantis's data points.

Every single media report of a Trump tweet that I noticed didn't include the Tweet in its proper context. These reports were just reactions to what he tweeted, which gave the impression of his being unhinged.

It was an Op from the very beginning.

226 Voters "alienated" by whatever it is Trump did had a choice.

If they were too stupid, misinformed, or irresponsible to make the better (easy) choice, then they are getting exactly what they voted for. About which there wasn't the slightest mystery.

And given the topic of this post - the mind-boggling childish unserious ignorance and malleability of most Americans - the outcome actually shouldn't have been that much of a shock.

Because that is the topic of this post. Not the absurd transparent laughable nonsense about "influence operations" or the pathetic doubts of the lightweight Twitter/tech types, but the fact that such idiocy could have any impact on anything. A dumbed down country dumbed down enough to do anything but laugh about irrelevant wild allegations in relation to real issues is also plenty dumbed down enough to think a border barrier can be "racist!!!!".

Not sure how I walked into a Twitter post and found a Trump war for the 1st posts I saw...but, that will give me time to keep doing work around here.

Grapefruit bars are out and cooling and look great - now to wait for the full cool and then the fridge. The acre of dishes I have from the bars and making my spouse and college kid dinner to go for her Kennedy Center concert (while I'm gonna make a 2nd dinner for the kids till here) - those are probably no more fun or fascinating than a Trump war (and for the record, I'm pro Lamont on that one), but probably need to get done...

Unless someone else is currently, and obviously, running for POTUS, Trump has every right to say whatever he wants.

248 Bill Kristol is really bad at propaganda. He was an obvious liar to everyone, except the lefty Propaganda organs who so desperately wanted to believe his bullshit.

And Jonah? Jonah is too stupid to have realized how easily manipulated he was by his paymasters. He somehow convinced himself (as did National Review) that they were occupying the traditional center-right position in mainstream politics. Even while they took money from google and Soros and all the rest of the evil empire.

The punishment is, at minimum, banishment from political life, reputation in tatters, universally regarded as contemptible. But Michael Morell and the rest of the IC color revolutionaries...they shouldn't even get the gift of a revolver with one bullet left conveniently on their desk. But, to save the nation the trouble and controversy of treason trials, I suppose that will have to be allowed.

I'm not against voting for him again but he wants House Plus support he's gonna have to make a serious and tangible case that he's not just going to keep getting fooled again N+1 times while also doing stuff that ensures he'll never have coalition support to make policy initiatives stick.

257 I don't think states like PA and AZ are simply lost no matter what. There is a margin of fraud, no matter how wide it might be in some places. If an election is sufficiently one-sided (for some definition of one-sided), the current modes of fraud would not be up to the challenge. The point is that fraud is not the only problem. The Republican Party's determination to stand for nothing (nothing broad segments of the public like anyway) is as much a problem as fraud. The embrace of the Romney-like sentiment that 40-whatever percent of the electorate will always be against it is part of the problem.

For a lot of folks it allows anger, depression, hope, and disappointment to be directed specific human targets. In response to Diogene's statement upthread, the republic is dying though not from its head but the rot that has spread throughout the elites.

The only way to purge that is widespread replacement of those elites and that is simply not possible in an elective republic today. Essentially the 10-20 percent of the population that are ideologues are forcing the 80-90 percent of the population to walk the plank. That is whether you are discussing Ukraine, Social Security, Medicare, the border, crime, minorities, or other issues. Essentially, the left has captured the elites aside from some dissidents, but those dissidents cannot understand that Conservatism TM simply cannot launch a successful counterrevolution to restore what was.

Who is funding who matters a great deal and Sundance has concluded that DeSantis is bought by his big donors. Simply put, DeSantis does not have the charisma that Trump has and has not put the effort into creating a small money donor network--instead DeSantis is relying on oligarchs. We also know that oligarchs are by and large financing a lot of the online Conservative media.

The antiTrumpers argue that Trump's time is past, he is an old man, he polarizes the electorate, picked crappy subordinates, and by making deals has made the country worse off. Sotto voce, they also do not like tariffs or Trump's attempt to limit foreign military adventures. So far, they have not attacked Trump's weakest point which is the Covid response and vaxx.

Trump wildly surpassed my best hopes and the evil that was done in this country in order to get rid of him can't be overstated. But, he's not getting any younger and even he has to finally get exhausted.

I like DeSantis being in Florida as it keeps Abbot in line. I have no illusions of Abbot doing anything remotely bold and leaderly.

I suppose Florida has term limits though and would like to see DeSantis on a wider stage at that time.

298 >>Mainly, the deep state wore people out with 4 years of bullshit and they don't want to go through it again. They imagine that that reaction was due to Trump. They'll do the same shit to Desantis unless he knuckles under. We are dealing with a Mafia like entity here. Organized crime. they don't cooperate with you, you cooperate with them or else.

Unlike many who view Trump's behavior as a huge liability I view it as a necessary strength. It might be tiresome at times, everyone gets tired of PT Barnum, but as you say these are not normal times and we are not up against a normal opponent. We are up against an organized criminal gang.

I have a hard time imaging anyone who could have gone through what Trump did during his 4 years and not only surviving but thriving. Until the pandemic made changed everything and allowed for mass mail in cheating Trump was romping toward reelection.

And every time they come after him it ends up blowing up in their faces. Russia led to the exposure of the deep state corruption. Ukraine led many people to actually look at what was happening in a country the couldn't find on a map. The classified documents has Joey in deep doo doo.

Both parties rig and cheat in elections--it is just that the Dems control the urban city hubs and use that in many states to overturn the more limited cheating that the GOP can do. So, the GOP focuses on cheating and rigging primaries. There is a reason that so many GOP officials are resistant to cleaning the voter rolls and ensuring free and fair elections. We have seen that in state after state where the big cheeses in state legislatures and governors block trying to purge voter rolls. Election audits in even red areas indicate a widespread phenomenon of phantom voters, inexplicable zip code changes, and errors in voting reports.

Same thing was true from 1840's to the 1900's until the elites decided to fix election honesty for several generations.

Close to a Willowing, but I'm going to say this anyway. Love DeSantis, but I'm in whig scenario #1 for now, and this is why:

We know already that the two biggest funders to DeSantis' PAC are Ken Griffin and Paul Tudor Jones. Their relationship to the conservative movement is problematic, at best, but let's focus on PTJ for now.

For Wall Streeters of a certain vintage, the Robin Hood Foundation is a big money raiser for nonprofits. Started by PTJ, it tries to corporatize how these orgs are run. David Saltzman is the current Executive Director. The former ED, who left the position to run for governor of Maryland, is...
