I don't think he has a lawyer, guys.

Oh, and in case I don't get a chance to say it later, merry Christmas!

This exactly. It's an army builder, in its nascent stages. Seeing a lot of those, everywhere I look. Divide et impera?

Wait a tic, what's a Chanter?

No pipes here, just a glass full of de Valcourt Napoleon. It's looking at me all slutty-like, as if it's challenging me to drink it. I wonder if our posts will show up in /r/reptiliandudeHQ within the next few hours? I'm sure he'll cite it as evidence of us being the same person. Due to the DNS records and all.

I too am seriously curious about his family now. Apparently, they are both wealthy AND influential.

Indeed, it is said that the soulja clan rules the town of Chester with an IRON FIST.

Two different, as in "mom and son," or "deadname and new name?"

Just how deep does this rabbit hole go? :p

Dude. If you could see my inbox right now... apparently we've run afoul of a truly powerful and well-connected individual. Could be in serious trouble here.

How far off was I?

Heh... small world. He even picked up on my "Solar observatory shutdown" meme.

Initial dig results:

Got soulja geolocated to Chester, Nova Scotia, Canada. He mentioned Rare as one of his favorite game developers as a child in his post history, specifying that he was familiar with it prior to the Microsoft buyout - this would put him to be in his late 20s to mid-30s. Enjoys collecting action figures, aww :> Likes open-world games like RDR2 as well.

Currently guessing unemployed single male with a lot of free time on his hands. Bit of a techie, likes to fiddle with electronics - very low level of competence though. No code, no solder. According to his tightly controlled subforum, he's already identified me as one of Repto's alts, via "DNS records." Likes to RP a l33t h4x0r, certainly! Also likes to claim that he runs a database of hundreds of UFO contactees - like with most things he says, I suspect it's an exaggeration. Boasted about his ISP in some rather narrow terms which leads me to suspect he's connecting via TekSavvy. It's a budget ISP. Level of linguistic skill suggests lack of post-secondary education, rather contrary to his assertion of holding two degrees.

Initial psych assessment suggests pathological deception, exaggeration and confabulation, and deep, deep insecurity, masked with the kind of bullying an unpopular kid might encounter in high school. To sound tough, he's adopted the mannerisms and language of his past tormentors. Someone really crushed his soul with these words, and he's internalized them, using them as a defense mechanism.

He claims to have "a life," while devoting a significant portion of his waking day to posting on Reddit at a frankly frenetic pace generally unavailable to the gainfully employed. Claims wealth while employing a budget ISP. Claims high levels of education while betraying something else entirely with his crude level of self-expression. No-one with degrees writes like this. Does not lead a very happy life, this one. He lies to himself more than others to soothe the pain.

I no longer suspect him of knowing personally, the people who frequent his subreddit. I suspect they're just people from his UFObelievers sub, whom he's enlisted via Reddit to his "cause."

So, meat n' potatoes time. He's issued death threats, right? There are some nice gentlemen at the following address...

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Royal-Canadian-Mounted-Police/588644578177580

... who would love hearing about them - one glance at his post history (which I've just finished archiving, just in case he does something silly like trying to destroy evidence) should be more than enough to convince them to act. I'm sure they'll just let him off with a stern warning, this time - though maybe a brief mental health hold and assessment might be more appropriate. A wellness check should be conducted either way. :)

If that address doesn't pan out, contact the RCMP detachment in Lunenburg, NS, Canada - it appears to be the regional LEO hub.

Am I good or what? :p

Continuing research.

So, in his subreddit, soulja has got a post with a picture of an individual whom he insists, is Repto:

Threw it in TinEye out of curiosity. ;)

They're not sending their best people.

Not guy, girl. Interesting, that one! You can find out so much about folks from casual posts... ;)

Something tells me he wouldn't be too bothered by the loss of an username. I've also got a feeling that he wouldn't be banned in the first place. Reddit's admins are curiously tolerant of certain sockpuppetry "frequencies," while ruthlessly stamping out others.

That feeling tells me he's under orders to be here, and but one member of a "team" (or squad?) assigned to be here.

Now... tell me that our friend soulja's approach doesn't remind you of this pedophile smear campaign targeting Julian Assange:

Same playbook, am I right? That's an agency goon in that last video, just to give you an idea of a potential source for this particular operation. You can almost smell their kind, once you're sufficiently familiar with how they operate, and have watched them doing so long enough... my money's definitely on army and/or intel. Utilizing an approach of "throw shit at wall, see if it sticks." Junior officers practicing their propaganda skills?

Fascinating. Doing a bit of basic detective work on the people posting in his subforum, reveals that some of them are involved with anti-Q-movement propaganda as well... very interesting indeed. Remarkable what you can find out with just two hops from an individual! Soulja is pretty competent at containing his PII, but his friends weren't nearly as careful... there are certain common elements between them that I find quite interesting.

The most successful movements have opposition. Sometimes that opposition is organic, other times, it's "managed"... and sometimes it's "managed" by the movement itself. "Red Team" style, etc. Having opposition to face off against, unifies movements. Not the nicest example of this phenomenon, but would the Nazis have risen to power if they hadn't fought the communists in the streets of Germany? Can't raise an army without an enemy to fight, right?

The over-the-top vulgarity he employs certainly feels familiar when compared to anti-Q shills. Whole thing has a certain... military/intel smell to it, doesn't it? Definite team effort.

Hi Repto, Garbo, it's your frequently-username-rotating journo friend with the recently updated bucket list here. Looks like you're having fun times! Don't mind if I join in - love a good bit of stalking through post histories ;)
