    I've heard the forum godlikeproductions.com is basically tavistock's stomping ground, so the disinfo narratives that are frequently promoted on there are probably a good chunk from tavistock. Like flat earth is one of them, the reason everyone heard so much about that stupid concept is because tavistock was pushing it as a disinformation narrative to confuse and upset people over nonsense, so they don't focus on real things. Another that I'm pretty sure is a tavistock disinformation narrative is the "Michelle obama is a man" idea, and the "5G is vaccine-based mind control" and "Directed Energy Weapons from satellites caused the fires in california" and "the planes on 9/11 were holograms" among others. I'm fairly certain almost all those narratives exist in the popular consciousness to varying degrees because of tavistock.

    Idk if it came from Tavistock, but it's certainly astroturfed

    I have some graphs on the trends

    "5G is vaccine-based mind control" and "Directed Energy Weapons from satellites caused the fires in california"

    Again I have no idea who created them, but I carefully watched these two as well

    I'm pretty sure it's tavistock doing the astroturfing for these obvious disinformation topics as that's kind of their thing, but I'm not 100% sure

    I've watched this sort of thing a while out of my own curiosity, and I try to compile it and track it to better counter over at Reddit.com/r/disinfo_watch and reddit.com/r/altleftwatch

    Examples:

    https://old.reddit.com/r/Disinfo_Watch/comments/dyf5dl/space_lasers_in_california_a_disinfo_tactic_used/

    "Space Lasers" in California, a Disinfo Tactic used in Late 2018 and Spammed in Right-wing Forums by Shills (self.Disinfo_Watch)

    ...They can't manipulate dissidents directly so instead they manipulate view counts and attack the Pr image of "anonymous right wing conspiracy theorists who distrust the government".

    It's the playbook used here

    Nice compilation! I've never heard of /r/disinfo_watch but I like the concept. Thanks for that post
