Over half of anti-Heard tweets were bots or paid trolls, many linked to Saudi government bots.
"According to an investigation by Tortoise Media, which examined more than one million tweets, more than 50 per cent of anti-Heard messages in the run-up to the 2022 defamation case were "inauthentic' - either from automated "bot" accounts or people hired to attack the actress."
"Bradley Hope, author of a book on Bin Salman, told the podcast that the pro-Depp tweets emanating from Saudi Arabia appear to be produced by "flies", a name for Saudi bot accounts."
"An intelligence professional who tracks online disinformation campaigns, said there was only a "0.1 per cent chance" that the hate directed at Heard was from genuine Depp fans.
The investigation also claims that bot networks in Thailand and Spain tweeted large numbers of pro-Depp messages."
"...more than 100 Twitter accounts sent 1,000 identical messages at exactly the same time to any company that had worked with Heard, reading: "This brand supports domestic violence against men."'
"The makers of the podcast argue that the criticism of Heard could have affected the jury in the 2022 US defamation trial which found in favour of Depp."
"So, if you couldn't tell the difference between a real-life Johnny Depp fan and a bot in 2022, then you probably won't be able to tell a Russian troll from a US election official in 2024. And that represents a serious problem for the security of our democracies."-Alexi Mostrous, presenter of the podcast.
"Johnny Depp and the Saudi Embassy did not respond to Tortoise's request for comment."

" Sottomissione di Michel Houellebecq, in cui si svolge l’incontro tra i due personaggi, è uno dei pochi romanzi che sa raccontare il nuovo secolo europeo, e in particolare lo scacco culturale, oltre che economico, del continente. Chi sono i due protagonisti dell'incontro sulla terrazza dell'Istituto del mondo arabo? Mentre Mohammed Ben Abbes non esiste, il “principe saudita” esiste, anche se lo scrittore non lo dice. Per un curioso scherzo della storia, Mohammed Bin Salman diventa ministro della difesa e presidente del Consiglio per gli affari economici e di sviluppo dell'Arabia Saudita proprio nel gennaio 2015, lo stesso mese in cui esce il romanzo di Houellebecq, a pochi giorni dall'attentato alla sede di Charlie Hebdo a Parigi.
Da quel momento Mohammed Bin Salman consolida il potere, attraverso la gestione delle operazioni belliche in Yemen, che generano una tragedia umanitaria di lungo corso, e attraverso un nuovo profilo della monarchia dell'Arabia Saudita, il Paese centrale tra le petromonarchie del Golfo. In particolare, Mohammed Bin Salman lancia un ampio progetto di trasformazione dell'economia e della società saudita, Vision 2030, puntualmente amplificato dalle pubblicazioni economiche internazionali, attraverso una cassa di risonanza senza precedenti. All'inizio del 2016 viene annunciata la quotazione del gigante petrolifero Saudi Aramco, per un valore di “trilioni di dollari”, secondo le opinioni saudite riportate da The Economist. Il settimanale britannico chiede a Bin Salman se sta preparando in Arabia Saudita la rivoluzione di Margaret Thatcher, e lui annuisce con convinzione. Nel 2016 è di moda identificare il viceprincipe ereditario attraverso le sue iniziali, MBS, e rivendicare familiarità col suo profilo dinamico. MBS indossa giacca, camicia e jeans mentre incontra Mark Zuckerberg, abbigliato con la tradizionale t-shirt. Ciò desta attenzione, e in alcuni casi commozione: jeans e t-shirt segnano un tornante della storia. Il viceprincipe ereditario conquista la parola-pigliatutto del XXI secolo, “innovazione”, prima di conquistare l’eredità formale del trono saudita nel 2017, procedendo alla deposizione dell'erede designato Muhammad Bin Nayef, fino a quel momento personaggio di fiducia degli apparati americani. Fino a quando, a fine 2018, il giornalista saudita Jamal Khashoggi diviene irreperibile. È stato ucciso, e poi con ogni probabilità fatto a pezzi, all'interno del consolato saudita a Istanbul. Nelle copertine pochi mesi prima irretite dalla trasformazione saudita verso il 2030, viene esposta l’indignazione per la morte di Khasoggi, simbolo della libertà di stampa. Anche questo è il capitalismo. "

How many absolute monarchs are there in the world?
•King Salman of Saudi Arabia •Pope Francis •Sultan Haitham bin Tariq of Oman •Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei •The King of Swaziland (now Eswatini): King Mswati III of Swaziland (AKA Eswatini) •United Arab Emirates: Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed (Each of the seven Emirates that form the UAE have their own absolute monarch and Sheikh MBZ, as leader of Dubai, is the overall ruler of the nation.)
Did I miss anybody? I think those are the only absolute monarchs still in power today. The rest of the world's royalty are constitutional monarchs, so they reign but do not rule.
(There's an argument for including Kim Jong Un on the list of absolute monarchs despite the fact that he's not a King and North Korea is a Communist country. He's obviously a dictator, but the Kim dynasty has virtually ruled North Korea like a secular monarchy for nearly 75 years with the supreme leaders inheriting their power through hereditary succession. Kim Jong Un took over immediately upon the death of his father, Kim Jong Il, who had assumed power when his father -- North Korea's first paramount leader, Kim Il Sung -- died in 1994. Of course, North Korea isn't officially considered a monarchy, but the manner in which the Kim family has ruled the country and transferred power from father-to-son for three generations and counting resembles the structure of an absolute monarchy more than a "traditional" totalitarian dictatorship.)

Meloni in recupero a leccare anche il culo di Bin Salman.
Ma vogliamo ricordarla anche così:
Chiaro che se lo fanno bipartisan di leccare culi allora pace e fatta eh. Anzi... se sei fascio... un po' c'avrà più ragione Meloni, se sei Renziano, un po' c'avrà più ragione Renzie.

Possiamo metterci anche renzi e biden che sorvolano su bin salman che fa fare letteralmente a pezzi un giornalista eh.

“Pls don't troll me for saying this, but OBJECTIVELY speaking, I think Mohammed bin Salman is one of the most good-looking royals out there. He's very tall around 6ft1, has a masculine build, beautiful brown eyes, full lips, great skin, nicely shaped eyebrows, sweet smile, great features overall. He was even more handsome when he was younger. I remember being mesmerised by his manly voice, watching live on TV when he had given a speech in english during a visit to my country, Pakistan.” - Submitted by Anonymous

Guess Who's Johnny Depp's New Bestie?
"If you guessed MBS, congratulations. I guess you had that on your 2024 bingo card.
In case you forgot, Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud ordered a hit on journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was chopped into little pieces by Saudi agents at a consulate in Turkey."
