Her next comment mentioned her attacks by those who called her post propaganda. There will probably be some losers here that say the same.

“Yesterday, a mob of bots and unverified accounts flooded my X account with comments aimed at discrediting me and everything I shared from my visit to Ukraine.

There were hundreds of comments, and multiple attempted bogus Community Notes. I’ve been called a liar, a propagandist, a fake person, a bot farm, a paid Russian agent, a cunt, a slut, and worse. I received death threats and insults I never thought imaginable.

I couldn’t comprehend why all of these people were attacking me - a tiny account on X, simply for sharing my personal experiences without agenda.

But now, instead of being quiet, I feel a moral obligation to highlight the coordinated and purposeful attempt to suppress my post.

Yesterday, to add clarity and credibility to my original post, I posted a photo of my Ukraine passport visa and numerous personal pictures from my visit.

Within a few hours, I had over 400 comments (statistically anomalous) - all following the same defamation rhetoric.

They went to such lengths as to invade my follower list, taking screenshots and extending their sick rhetoric and name calling to people I greatly respect and follow: Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy, David Sacks, Mike Cernovich, Glenn Greenwald, Libs of TikTok, etc, etc.

They accused me of stealing my own pictures or taking them from Google - an easily disprovable absurdity. It was clearly an intentionally dishonest premise to discredit me by weaponizing Community Notes.

The first Community Note said it’s “unlikely” I’ve ever been to Ukraine at all, since they said - without evidence - that my pictures might have been found on Google and that the picture of my Visa has been partially redacted. Of course I redacted the image of my passport for obvious reasons. I also blurred any identifiers to protect the identity and potential whereabouts of the people that had the courage to open up and speak to me about what’s really happening in Ukraine, risking their lives and being put in jail if they spoke against the set narrative.

It’s laughable if it wouldn’t be so worrisome.

When the first Community Note was removed, another one popped up, questioning the consistent feedback conveyed to me from many people inside Ukraine - that the real death toll could be as high as 1,000,000. They would know! In some villages, ~70% of households have lost family members to this war.

This Note - which expectedly aligned with western media reports - grossly understates the numbers (100,000 casualties) I’ve heard from people living in Ukraine, and is even significantly below the latest report from Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense of 383,000.

To clarify, I am not saying this as fact; I’m sharing what I’ve been consistently told by REAL people living in Ukraine - that the total number of casualties is around 1,000,000.

Thank you to everyone who sees beyond the propaganda and wants the truth to prevail. The destruction of this country and of a generation of Ukrainian men needs to stop. Peace was available 2 years ago, but other agendas prevailed.

Real people are dying. Families displaced and destroyed forever. Peace should be everyone’s common goal.”

With a lying media, how do you know what is really happening? Who do you trust? Washington? I am not being flippant, but you seem clear that you know something. Do you? If so, where do you find it? What I see is Washington pushing us into another war. Having participated in the Vietnam ‘Conflict’, I can say without equivocation that the Washinton ruling class lies its asses off, especially about war. And our young soldiers die, and their families suffer. That I know from personal experience. What I don’t know is how to distinguish between Russian propaganda, Ukrainian Propaganda, and US Propaganda.
