Massive secret network was pushing Western narrative. The huge disinformation campaign ran for almost 5 years. The reputation of Chinese, Russians & Iranians was blackened. Falsified accounts pushed stories in tandem with US govt media VOA, RFE and others.
Mon, September 05, 2022 By Nury Vittachi
A torrent of disinformation about the Chinese and other communities painted as enemies of the Western allies ran for almost five years on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Twitter, researchers reported on Wednesday.
“These campaigns consistently advanced narratives promoting the interests of the United States and its allies,” reads the shocking study by the Stanford Internet Observatory and the research company Graphika.
The sophisticated system originated from the US and the UK, the study said. The perpetrators worked in tandem with groups which presented themselves as news organizations, but were really partner assets, or even major US government operations such as Voice of America and the Radio Free Asia group, which includes Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty, and others.
Facebook and Twitter said they had taken down the sham accounts.
Assets focused on China
The massive operation “used deceptive tactics to promote pro-Western narratives”, according to the study.
“Two assets concentrated on China and the treatment of Chinese Muslim minorities”, the report reads, particularly the Uygurs in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
For example, researchers noted that one Twitter account said it operated on behalf of the US military but also posed as an Iraqi individual sending tweets from his home country.
AI-generated people
The number of techniques used by the operations was remarkable, as was the length of time it ran before being discovered. The study is called “Unheard Voice: Evaluating five years of pro-Western covert influence operations.”

a) Narrative creators made multiple fake personas with AI-generated faces to appear as authentic human beings. These appeared as accounts of “real people” on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other media;
b) Narrative creators posed as journalists running independent media outlets;
c) Narrative creators made memes and short videos (for sharing on TikTok, Instagram and others);
d) Narrative creators ran hashtag campaigns across platforms;
e) Narrative creators launched online petitions on “change” style sites known for “human rights” campaigns.
The players had “an interconnected web of accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and five other social media platforms” indicating a high level, well-organized operation to deceive
The players had “an interconnected web of accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and five other social media platforms” indicating a high level, well-organized operation to deceive. This enabled agents to back up false narratives by quoting each other: they backed up false news with quotes from what seemed to be small news operations or even large ones, like Voice of America, to promote a pro-West, anti-East narrative.
Exploited sympathy for women
Sham media outlets used the theme of women’s rights to create negativity towards non-Western groups, according to the report.
“For example, the Shestigrannik Facebook page repeatedly accused Russia and China of ignoring the Taliban’s ethnic cleansing of Afghan minorities and mistreatment of women,” the researchers said.
Agents sometimes created posts in Russian or other Central Asian languages, the researchers said. The one on the left, above, revives a long debunked allegation about organ-harvesting in China, and the one on the right paints China as the power behind Russian aggression.
While there were cases of some agents creating accounts which failed to win many followers, or were not widely shared, in other instances they succeeded in producing material which spread or went viral.
“A small cluster of assets within the Central Asia group focused almost exclusively on China,” the report reads.
Other assets in the sham network painted an image of China imperilling the world.
Fake petitions
Western agents created petitions such as the one above, pretending to be people in Central Asia demanding that Kyrgyzstan curbs Chinese influence in the country, the study showed. The petitions were shared on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Agents’ petitions were sometimes shared on a well-known U.S. human rights activism platform called Avaaz, and promoted by Radio Liberty, a partner of Radio Free Asia: these are groups which present themselves as journalists, while actually being arms of the US government.
In reality, China has good relationships with Kyrgyzstan and have been having lengthy talks towards building a “New Eurasian Land Bridge”, which will be a convenient transport path from East and Southeast Asia to Central and Western Asia, Northern Africa and Europe. The plan is to create prosperity through improved infrastructure that creates opportunities for trade.
Projection technique
For decades, a key technique of Western intelligence forces has been to announce exactly what they are doing in the media – but ascribe it to “the enemy”. So there have been numerous false allegations of Chinese interference with politics in the US, while the truth was that the US had massive operations interfering in politics in Chinese communities, particularly in Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Taiwan.
The existence of an artificial Western narrative is rarely acknowledged—and even more rarely confronted. China-friendly voices are seen being removed from Twitter frequently. But the other way round?
Renée DiResta, research manager at the Stanford Internet Observatory, told the New York Times: “It’s the first time we’ve seen a pro-US foreign influence operation taken down by Twitter and Meta.”
Multi-lingual
Another remarkable aspect of the study was its revelation of how culturally wide the false narrative dissemination operation was. Just a few days ago, the New York Times printed a long feature bemoaning the ability of the West to control the discourse outside the Anglosphere.
Yet the new study reveals that the Western narrative operation functioned in at least seven non-English languages on global social media such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram, and also on allegedly “secure” operations such as Telegram, and even on popular non-Western networks VK and Odnoklassniki, run from Russia.
Little Impact
The report, dramatic as it was, received relatively little coverage internationally. There were pieces in the New York Times and the Washington Post reporting the publication of the study, but without follow-up. Some media mentioned the report but played it down. Cyberwire headlined their report: “Not all coordinated inauthenticity is Russian”.

But even if there is no change in the narrative carried by the mainstream media, critics still welcomed the study. A Twitter user who has been banned three times for questioning the Western narrative said: “This is just one more nail in the coffin of the narrative’s credibility, and that’s a good thing.”

John Walsh, MD in San Francisco: NYT article (9/3/2022) on IAEA visit to Ukrainian nuclear power plant. To put it bluntly the Ukrainian officials lied 紐約時報文章（2022 年 9 月 3 日）關於 IAEA 訪問烏克蘭核電站。 說白了，烏克蘭官員撒了謊.
Deep in the page 6 article in paragraph 8, we read: “But on some points the agency’s (that is, the IEAE’s) initial assessment was more optimistic than the picture painted by Ukrainian officials, who had said that engineers and other employees had been subjected to harsh interrogation and even torture, raising stress levels when they returned to work in reactor control rooms and in other critical jobs.”
To put it bluntly the Ukrainian officials lied. The euphemism “more optimistic” must have brought a smile to the creative NYT reporter, Andrew Kramer.
The article continued:
“Mr. Grossi (the head of the IAEA mission) said that he had spoken with the Ukrainian employees and that they had found a way to cooperate — what he called “cohabitation” — with the Russian soldiers and nuclear experts also at the site. “The plant continues to operate, and there is a professional modus vivendi, if I can put it that way,” he said.
“Before the visit, Ukrainian officials had said the agency should discount anything employees at the plant said, arguing they are essentially hostages.”
“He (Grossi, head of the IAEA delegation) said Russian soldiers had not blocked access to areas of the site he asked to visit.”
The story coming from the Zelensky government and their Western Amen Corner is ever changing. First they told us that the Russians were shelling the plant which was occupied – by Russians. It was a false flag, said they. That ill-considered whopper elicited howls of derision.
So the pro-Zelensky crowd switched stories and admitted that the Kiev forces were shelling the plant, because Russians, they claimed, were using it as a military base for artillery, essentially using the plant as a shield. But why would the Russians use it as a shield, knowing if it did blow up the first people to suffer would be the Russian contingent itself and eventually perhaps even Russia itself. It simply does not make sense,
Prague. 100,000 people in Czech Republic, demonstrations against EU and NATO. USA, Britain-NATO is a danger to humanity.

Video: New UN reports confirm no genocide in Xinjiang China 聯合國新報告證實中國新疆沒有種族滅絕

The UN Office of the Commission for Human Rights released a document this week that completely exonerates the leadership of the Chinese region of Xinjiang from accusations of genocide or use of slave labor. 聯合國人權委員會辦公室本週發布了一份文件，完全免除了中國新疆地區領導人對種族滅絕或使用奴工的指控.
This document, which is 121 pages long, explains clearly how a spate of deadly terrorist attacks triggered changes which have been remarkably successful. Extremist violence is gone, and the people of the area have been lifted out of poverty, with education, jobs, free healthcare which has raised their longevity to developed world standards. 這份長達 121 頁的文件清楚地解釋了一連串致命的恐怖襲擊如何引發了非常成功的變革。 極端暴力消失了，該地區的人民擺脫了貧困，教育、就業、免費醫療保健使他們的壽命提高到發達國家的標準.
Wait, you say. That’s not the summary you read in the media. 等等，你說。 那不是您在媒體上看到的摘要.
Really? 真的嗎?
Well, here are the facts. The UNHCR released a PAIR of documents on August 31: a 46 page one from their office listing concerns and a 121-page one responding to concerns. 好吧，這是事實。 難民署於 8 月 31 日發布了一對文件：一份來自其辦公室的 46 頁列出了關注點，一份 121 頁對關注點做出了回應.
The mainstream media wrote fanciful articles purportedly based on the first – and hid the second. 主流媒體據稱根據第一份報告寫了一些奇特的文章，但隱藏了第二份報告.
Why hide it? Well, the first is a summary of tired old sources which are mostly anonymous or recycled from western media. The second is from the actual working officials in Xinjiang, a place led by councils made up of ethnic minority people and Han Chinese people. 為什麼要隱藏它？ 嗯，第一個是疲憊的舊資源的摘要，這些資源大多是匿名的或從西方媒體回收的。 第二個來自新疆的實際工作官員，這個地方由少數民族和漢族人組成的委員會領導.
But here’s the twist. Both documents say there’s been no genocide in Xinjiang. That’s big news. If the media was fair, that would be the headline. 但這是轉折點。 兩份文件都說新疆沒有發生種族滅絕事件。 這是個大新聞。 如果媒體是公平的，那將是頭條新聞.
What about the concerns raised by the first document? Well, there are about 12 million Uyghur people in Xinjiang. But this quotes the tiny number of mostly anonymous people making horrendous allegations in the west, people who have been repeatedly tracked to western-funded groups like World Uyghur Congress. 第一份文件提出的擔憂如何？ 那麼，新疆維吾爾族大約有1200萬。 但這引用了在西方提出可怕指控的極少數匿名人士，他們多次被追踪到世界維吾爾代表大會等西方資助的團體.
To give one example, the footnotes lead to allegations by people such as a lady named Sautbay. Trustworthy? 舉一個例子，腳註導致了一些人的指控，比如一位名叫 Sautbay 的女士。 值得信賴嗎?
Well, she told one interviewer that the terrible thing was that they were forced to eat pork! 好吧，她告訴一位採訪者，可怕的是他們被迫吃豬肉!
And told another interviewer that the terrible thing was that they were forced to be vegetarian! 並告訴另一位採訪者，可怕的是他們被迫吃素!
She told one interviewer that she was a camp detainee and another that she was a camp staff member. Her story changed so often that people on all sides realized it was some sort of political theatre. Well, you decide. 她告訴一位採訪者，她是集中營被拘留者，另一位採訪者說她是集中營工作人員。 她的故事經常發生變化，以至於各方都意識到這是某種政治戲劇。 好吧，你決定.
While you are thinking about that, here’s a picture of her with mate of hers. That’s Michael Pompeo, former director of the CIA. 當你在想這個的時候，這裡有一張她和她的伴侶的照片。 那是中央情報局前局長邁克爾·蓬佩奧.
Meanwhile, here’s something that the media wants you to forget. Just this summer, when this UN officer [image of Michele Bachelet] moved away from the demonization script, reporters denounced her work as terrible, marking her as someone who can never be trusted again. 同時，這是媒體希望您忘記的事情。 就在今年夏天，當這位聯合國官員（米歇爾·巴切萊特的形象）遠離妖魔化劇本時，記者們譴責她的工作很糟糕，將她標記為一個永遠無法再被信任的人.
Now, when they have something that they can use to get back to the demonisation project, her department’s work is totally trustworthy again! 現在，當他們有東西可以用來回到妖魔化項目時，她部門的工作又是完全值得信賴的!
You can’t make this stuff up! A little healthy skepticism is a good thing. Peace. 你不能編造這些東西！ 有一點健康的懷疑是一件好事。 和平.
