The white-Left Part 1: The two meanings of white

What's up with these Tweets? "Former US Army Vet Who Fought Alongside Al-Qae'a in #Syria Linked to #CIA"

For about a week now my twitter feed filtered for #Syria has seen this same tweet repeated over and over with no link or not a usable one for more info. All of these tweets are worded very closely if not exactly the same, which would seem to indicate some unity between them but they are all from different accounts.

I took a look a some of these accounts and I found an interesting thing. All of these accounts were very new. Most appear to have been started on 2 July 2013, most have only a few dozen tweets and a dozen followers.

Most interesting is that this tweet appears to be the only one from these accounts on #Syria although it may have repeat this tweet a number of time. Most of the other tweets make no sense.

So what is going on here?

Update 28 September 2017: All these Twitter accounts have now been suspended. That is why the tweets no longer show.

Here is a sampling from the last hour that shows what I am talking about:


26 TWEETS | 136 FOLLOWING | 21 FOLLOWERS


3 TWEETS | 41 FOLLOWING | 23 FOLLOWERS


39 TWEETS | 191 FOLLOWING | 28 FOLLOWERS


47 TWEETS | 127 FOLLOWING | 21 FOLLOWERS


11 TWEETS | 66 FOLLOWING | 11 FOLLOWERS

Just to give you an idea how weird this seems, this is the tweet Scott Luke sent out 1 second before the above:

This guy has sent out 11 tweets most seem like nonsense, this is the only tweet about #Syria or the #CIA, the only other interesting tweets are these:


Which is a tweet that also shows up in many of these accounts.


30 TWEETS | 130 FOLLOWING | 12 FOLLOWERS


50 TWEETS | 223 FOLLOWING | 27 FOLLOWERS


19 TWEETS | 119 FOLLOWING | 24 FOLLOWERS

Here is his next tweet, minutes after the one above:




24 TWEETS | 147 FOLLOWING | 9 FOLLOWERS


19 TWEETS | 84 FOLLOWING | 15 FOLLOWERS

I could go on and on, but you get the picture. I have looked at many more of these tweets and the accounts that made them than I have listed here and I have found exactly the same pattern. They go back to 2 July and none of the accounts I have looked at have more that 50 tweets and 30 follower, all have this lone tweet on #Syria, often repeated, but no other tweets about #Syria. Curious.

I strongly suspect that something very nefarious is going on here, like a robot invasion, and given that this one tweet ties them all together, I have to strongly suspect that it is the Assad Regime, or its supporters that are behind this.

In any case, I feel that we need to know what really going on here because it feels like somebody is trying to subvert social media big time.

If you have any information on this or just some thoughts, please leave a comment.
