The repeated cajoling of disruptive forces fell upon a populace with limited succour for tearing their nation apart. I hope I contributed to that vital innoculation over the course of a year&#8217;s work.</p><p>Civil war is bloodier, more unpredictable and harder to resolve than conflicts between nations. There is rarely a clear frontline and the passions are feverishly brainwashing. It is hard to put back into a box and the scars can last for generations. It is not a quick and simple solution.</p><p>What is sending a shiver down my spine as I scroll through X is a seemingly perverse appetite for violent unrest in the UK, particularly from those on the fringes of the right.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.thatalexwoman.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.thatalexwoman.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>Rather than look at the mass disturbance and anarchy in France with horror and fear, there is a sense of willing it to spill over onto our shores. The &#8216;influencers&#8217; are rabidly spouting their cosplay crusader cries for counter battle, before a single Foot Locker in London has even been looted. An army of bots lies in wait, usually with profile pictures of Knights Templar or a roaring British lion, ready to artificially amplify the rubbernecking and ghoulish enthusiasm for anarchic drama.</p><p>What sickens me is twofold. Firstly, if we were to erupt into civil unrest what would these loudmouths do?  Catch the number 68 bus to town with their Osmos to livestream it on their podcasts? It&#8217;s all very Black Mirror. I doubt any of them have any valuable battlefield expertise. Secondly, they are desperately oblivious to the fact that they are as much pawns in hostile state psy ops as the extreme Left.</p><p>Let me explain.</p><p>One of the reasons France and Belgium have likely erupted first comes down to the nature of their immigration, and also an established history of playing with Socialism. France and Belgium have long had an extreme left, given overall French voting sentiment has historically sat on the centre left compared to Britain. They are high tax, high civic demand societies where comparatively early retirement ages et al come with hefty fiscal price tags and rolling strikes. They have well documented penchants for protests, that often end with burning car tyres and water canons. We don&#8217;t have water canons in the UK. I saw them in action in Africa during that campaign, to whom we had sold them. But where the toxic cocktail of destructive Marxism wed with balkanised migrant communities really thrives is where there is a direct line between the activists, and the hostile states pulling social media strings.</p><p>Russia, Iran and China all use social media as an act of greyzone warfare, alongside flooding Europe with third world migration. The plan is simple. Divide and conquer. And Russia especially likes to play both sides. Whereas Iran and The Muslim Brotherhood flood social media with calls for intifada, antisemitic conspiracy and fund terror cells and proxies, China likes to play with neo-Marxism, seed funding high disruptor activism such as BLM. Russia likes to amplify both a knuckle dragging extreme right and anti-establishment far left in the hope that society becomes irreparably broken and Westerners turn against one another.</p><p>Broaden out the anti Western axis of China, Russia and Iran - and you get various satellite bad actors also playing a role. When thousands of Africans stormed Ceuta this summer, many of the organising social media accounts could be traced back to Algeria. Russia is Algeria's primary military supplier, providing the vast majority of its hardware, including advanced weaponry, and joint military exercises. It is formally part of China&#8217;s Belt and Road initiative, and shares a common vision for a multipolar global order. Meanwhile Iran and Algeria share strong opposition to normalisation with Israel and Western interventionism in the Middle East and North Africa.</p><p>Where are the bulk of Francophone immigrants from? The Maghreb. So if you wanted to quickly forge a nexus of propaganda online encouraging migrant youths to take to the streets and riot, a ready made construct is already in place.  The Wagner mercenaries&#8217; Africa Corps is also heavily present in Francophone African countries such as Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, enabling illegal immigration routes, with many ending up in French or Belgian <em>banlieues</em> due to linguistic ties.</p><p>So it is little surprise this is where the tragically predictable unrest has been instigated. France and Belgium will now have to face tough questions on how to begin to exorcise the metastasising mess they have riddled their big cities with, while being shackled to a wilfully myopic European Union. But it seems inevitable sweeping political change will be needed. Certainly the riots are precipitating a seismic moment in public opinion.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.thatalexwoman.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.thatalexwoman.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>This buys the United Kingdom some time. The onerous videos of doomscape in French metropoli flooding social media timelines should serve as a wake up call, both to voters, strategists and politicians, while necessary action that one hopes will be taken by France provides moral cover to our own gutless politicians as well as being a potential canary in the mine for the rest of Europe. France may well have just become the Guinea Pig while we all need to figure out how to begin to reverse this toxic cultural vandalism of unbridled Neo-Marxism, mass migration and unregulated social media harnessed as a weapon of war by our enemies.</p><p>Russia knows this. They don&#8217;t want us to have time to get ourselves out of the mess. Hence why they are barraging our social media with <em>Crusader Porn</em>. </p><p>What would please the GRU enormously would be vigilantism sparking riots. Mobs of native men deciding to &#8216;take back the streets&#8217; thus drawing militant Muslim men out of their mosques where caches of weapons are already stored. It is rather like the frog in boiling water. Moscow wants the temperature turned up to maximum to hasten bloodthirsty scenes on <em>our </em>streets. I want to see radical political solutions but I do not for a second want to see properties burned, lqndmarks destroyed, shops looted and people attacked. </p><p>In the 2023 Nahel Merzouk riots on the outskirts of Paris, TikTok and Snapchat were used both to organise and to gamify violence. Meanwhile online algorithms favoured high-engagement content, which rewards escalation and spectacle over disciplined messaging. It is increasingly becoming clear that hostile states and bots are behind much of the violence on the continent.</p><p>What enrages me are the drama-desperate armchair anarchists on the far right who are utterly oblivious to the fact that they are as much part of the coordinated plan as the Antifa mob by stoking up frustration and political inertia with their cocky one liners and solution-vacant demands.</p><p>They are ignorant to the fact that their unquenchable thirst for clicks leaves them as susceptible to hostile state manipulation as the very people they regard as the problem, all the while piling on the only political parties that stand a chance of solving these problems for not being radical enough, before they have even managed to take power. A lot of what these Restore goons demand has no chance of being effected in the real world. So these morons are effectively stripping support away from there being a peaceful solution while turning the national mood increasingly and dangerously dark.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.thatalexwoman.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.thatalexwoman.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>They are not genius future leaders with mass appeal. They are silly, feckless boneheads being amplified by bot farms for the very reasons laid out above.</p><p>If Rupert-Fake-Lowe does enough to suppress support for Reform, who unlike the Tories, win in traditional Labour areas, thus ushering in a radical Left government, we will become France.</p><p>Our enemies know this, and so are amplifying at scale his knuckle-dragging, algorithm optimised diatribes. </p><p>Let me be plain. Restore Britain is the plaything of hostile states, and sadly too many brainwashed individuals have been so thoroughly duped, they cannot nor will not allow themselves to see it.</p><p>There is a reason political extremes garner the majority of their support from the younger generation. These are people who live the majority of their lives online. Who have limited real world experience. Who are over stimulated by the need for artificial dopamine via social media affirmation.  Far-left parties such as La France Insoumise (LFI) and the Green Party in Britain have large youth followings. </p><p>Equally it is clear to see that in the UK, the further right fervour is an almost uniquely online phenomenon. Rupert Lowe is not a real world titan, but a sophisticated network of bot soaked social media profiles with questionable provenance and concerning amplification.</p><p>The man himself and in real time rarely emerges, just an industrial scale operation churning out memes, heavily edited videos and AI honed rambling posts online. He is basically Augmented Reality being pushed by hostile states online to further deepen the UK&#8217;s crisis.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.thatalexwoman.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.thatalexwoman.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>I should know. They have established bot armies to specifically target me. Having had a full audit from various top cyber security experts, I have been informed of what is going on. Look at the comments under my posts from a year ago compared to today. Most of the deeply unpleasant crap is bot trolls with a handful of useful idiots getting swept up in their attack. A year ago my sentiment rating was 98% positive. I didn&#8217;t change. Restore Britain became a psy op.</p><p>Having worked at the most sophisticated levels of political strategy in foreign countries, and having recently been privileged to host the International Counter Terror and Cyber Summit in London, I know far more about how online psy ops work than puffed up podcasters could ever dream of, and have a network of extremely senior sources working in intelligence around the world who I regularly run theories past and get invaluable information from. So my visceral disdain for these arrogant fools is based upon justifiable concern. </p><p>They may get their kicks from posting with thinly disguised glee about riots in France and trying to out Farage Farage, but most of them were in nappies when others who have partaken in politics proper such as Nigel were warning about Global Socialism and risked a lot and sacrificed a lot actually trying to <em>do </em>something about it. </p><p>They may be wetting their pants at the excitement of their haughty commentary on Europe burning boosting their audience sizes, but they serve as an increasingly worrying anarchic wrecking ball which makes finding real world solutions to our country&#8217;s horrific issues all the more difficult, while equally hastening the time in which we have to do it. Their drumming up of catastrophe through emotive strutting may be the very thing that lights the blue touch paper here. And if they believe that civil unrest here would ever be a good thing, they are deranged and dangerous.</p><p>In a crisis, real men quietly get on with dealing with problems. Children scream from the sidelines.</p><p>They can throw as many vile attacks against me as they like online. I see what they are, even if they are too cultish to be able to look at themselves honestly in the mirror. </p><p>I hope you see what they are, too.</p><p>We cannot afford to accommodate this for much longer.</p><p></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.thatalexwoman.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">That's What She Said by Alex Phillips is a reader-supported publication.

Standing in front of The Acropolis in Greece, on the anniversary of October 7th, his references of the Ancient Athenians tumbling boulders down the hillside onto the marauding Persians reflected perfectly The West&#8217;s fight against Iran and its network of terrorist groups and the anti-Western axis. </p><p>For 25 centuries since, the rebuilt Acropolis under Perocles has survived, seeing empires come and go and symbolising the endurance of Western Civilisation and democracy (<em>demokratis</em> being Greek for <em>~demos</em> / people and <em>~kratis</em> / power).</p><p>Rubio cites the canon of great philosophers, borrowed terms, and the progenesis of Western systems and thought, to construct the macrocosm of <em>Westernism</em>. </p><div class="pullquote"><p>What blossomed here in this place was the Western desire to uncover all that ignorance, darkness, and distance had kept hidden from the mind of man.</p></div><p>Whoever writes his speeches should publish an epic doctrine in iambic pentameter. I&#8217;d print it out and have it on my coffee table and make every visitor read it.</p><p>But if Rubio wants to fully interrogate with vigorous poetic conceit the muse <em>Aletheia</em> ( the Goddess of truth, or etymologically &#225;-l&#275;th&#275;-ia / <em>unveiledness</em>) and use it to generate Aesopian fables of warning to Europe, he must also lift the shroud around the operations of Silicon Valley.</p><p>For I agree with his statement</p><div class="pullquote"><p><em>National interests did not vanish in the face of international institutions.  War did not disappear simply because we preferred peace.  Other states continued to arm, to seek influence, to compete for territory, and technology, and resources, and markets, and energy, and power.</em></p></div><p>His repeated insistence that self-flagellisation, learned obsequiousness and servitude to corruptible supranational organisations has created a vacuum into which the warped ideologies of hostile entities can be poured is entirely true. Open borders, demilitarisation, deindustrialisation, and the associated inverted morality will destroy Western civilisation within decades.</p><p>But by what mechanism is this happening?</p><p><em>M&#275;khan&#7703; </em>in Ancient Greek means a siege engine. Pretty apt.</p><p>Because the siege engine against The West through psychological operations conducted online; information manipulation, synthetic dopamine, redrafting of morality itself in order to weaken, divide and eventually destroy our people - would not be possible without the Big Tech giants. The Goliaths of Silicon Valley. The Nephalims of San Francisco. <em>American companies</em>.</p><p>Hostile states have long used online psychological operations (psyops), social media amplification, and bot networks to exploit societal divisions in open democracies.</p><p>Russia, China, and Iran stand out for systematic efforts that blend inauthentic accounts, AI-generated content, and coordinated campaigns. These operations rarely invent grievances from nothing; they identify real tensions such as racial justice debates, protests, migration pressures, and foreign conflicts, and then intensify polarization, erode trust in institutions, and shape narratives favorable to their own geopolitical aims.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.thatalexwoman.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.thatalexwoman.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>Russia&#8217;s Internet Research Agency (IRA) and successor networks pioneer large-scale bot farms and troll operations. They create networks of fake personas that post, comment, and organize content at volume, often playing both sides of an issue to maximize conflict. </p><p>China relies on &#8220;Spamouflage&#8221; networks of inauthentic accounts that mimic local voices, push pro-Beijing narratives, and attack critics. </p><p>Iran has used IRGC-linked accounts posing as Western or Latin American users, fake journalist personas, and, more recently, AI agents built on open-source models to autonomously generate accounts and flood platforms with messaging.</p><p>Recent reporting shows Iran and China deploying AI agents that can independently create fake profiles on Instagram, Facebook, X, and TikTok, then seed them with political content. </p><p>Why is France on fire?</p><p>Fox News identified 50 organizations in the French student protest movement and its wider network of supporters and international amplifiers, revealing an activist ecosystem extending far beyond the students who launched the demonstrations. With foreign Communist provenance.</p><p>America spent an estimated $13 trillion fighting Communism in the last century. Now 3% of US GDP is generated by the very companies being used to spread its propaganda.</p><p>The recent invasion of Ceuta was coralled and coordinated using at least 10 Facebook groups and 50 Instagram accounts. Without Meta, the invasion could not have happened.</p><p>Does Rubio think Social Justice Movements, BLM and Pro-Palestine campus protests, are organised via ethereal osmosis?</p><p>After the October 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel and subsequent war, Iranian state-linked accounts and networks glorified the initial assault, framed Israel and the United States as aggressors, and pushed dehumanizing language. Russian and Chinese state media and affiliated accounts rapidly increased coverage, tying the conflict to accusations of Western hypocrisy (especially regarding Ukraine) and amplifying campus protests in the United States and Europe as evidence of internal American collapse. Researchers documented surges in coordinated posts, AI-generated imagery, and cross-amplification among the three countries&#8217; ecosystems.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.thatalexwoman.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.thatalexwoman.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>People trafficking is almost entirely conducted online. TikTok may be a primary offender, as a CCP linked company it is bound to participate in acts of greyzone warfare. So the West should simply ban it.</p><p>Although China has bought its way into so much critical infrastructure or holds alarming levels of Western debt I would imagine the reason this has not been done is so as not to ire Xi.</p><p>But what is the excuse of Meta? Or X? Is America also intent on flooding Europe with illegal invaders? Evidently not. But America is grotesquely weak at holding Big Tech to account. </p><p>Yet if it held its own companies&#8217; feet to the fire first, imposing the same upon the likes of TikTok becomes far easier.</p><p>So why not?</p><p>Is it the symbiosis of Big Tech sops in return for electoral manipulation? But the Left were not afraid to force Dot Com bros to remove posts about Hunter Biden&#8217;s laptop and called social media to heel in a truly dystopian way during Covid. The Big Tech bros did as told.</p><p>Today,<span data-color="rgb(58, 89, 74)" style="color: rgb(58, 89, 74);"> AI has lowered the cost and raised the speed of hostile campaigns, enabling more autonomous and harder-to-attribute activity. This issue will only expontentially grow more critical.</span></p><p>Psychological operations succeed most when they ride genuine domestic controversies - rather than invent them. And indeed Europe has a perverted establishment wedded to the sado-masochistic principles outlined by Rubio in Athens. Open borders, net zero, national shame.</p><p>And while the tyranny of the Leftist fraternity happily strips its native citizens of the freedom to choose these policies or vote them out, in some countries criminally prosecuting dissenting voices, gerrymandering democracy, and creating layers of benign looking bureaucracy to ram through its twisted designs, I am hugely in favour of Rubio&#8217;s bent for full fat freedom. Freedom for companies to innovate. Freedom of speech. Freedom writ large.</p><p>These are the features of free societies. Yet hostile governments that do not allow their own citizens such liberties turn freedoms against the societies that practice them.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.thatalexwoman.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://www.thatalexwoman.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>There is a big difference between the sanctity of free speech, and permitting extremist propaganda to permeate the minds of youths online who then go about setting fire to schools, or enabling traffickers to smuggle terrorists, arms and dangerous men into the country, or radical trans activists who poison children into removing their genitals or wilfully brainwash adolescents into mental illness, or enabling The Muslim Brotherhood to propagate extreme Islamism across Europe, or Iran, China and Russia to corrode our societies from the inside out like a fast metastisizing cancer. The vile deranged kids that tried to assassinate Trump and killed Kirk will have doubtless been radicalised online.</p><p>Freedom is an end of itself. However the road to get there at times may require control.</p><p>A sweeping US government crackdown on social media bots and fake accounts would almost certainly wipe significant value off Big Tech share prices. I assume this is the primary cause for governance reticence.</p><p>Social media valuations are intrinsically tied to monetization metrics that fake accounts directly artificially inflate. A forced purge or stricter legal accountability would disrupt these core metrics, triggering immediate financial and structural vulnerabilities.</p><p>When Twitter began purging millions of locked and fake accounts in 2018 to improve platform health, its stock plummeted by nearly 20% in a single week due to fears of stagnating user growth.</p><p>A government mandate wouldn't just require a one-time purge, it would require ironclad infrastructure to prevent future bot registration.</p><p>But what cost &#8216;Saving The West?&#8217;</p><p>While an initial regulatory shock would cause a severe market sell-off, a long-term recovery is entirely possible. If a platform successfully eradicates bots, the remaining user base becomes 100% authentic with advertisers willing to pay a premium for hyper-accurate, high-converting human data.</p><p>It is surely a price worth paying.</p><p>America will have to take a hit.</p><p>She came late to the Second World War, and sacrificed her own to save the day.</p><p>The Third World War is already underway. Partly hot through kinetic aggression, but that is the tip of the iceberg. The vast hump of malign greyzone activity is hidden from view. And this is where the US must drop some bunker buster bombs to win the information war. </p><p>Bots kill.

The campaigning media of the establishment at it again.</p><p>If the same &#8216;scrutiny&#8217; (a rather generous term for entrapment) were applied to all political parties, I am sure the outcomes would be very eye opening indeed.</p><p>As some would assert, if you trawl through your partner&#8217;s phone with a view to finding something you don&#8217;t like, <em>you will find something you don&#8217;t like</em>. </p><p>It reminds me of Brexit. From instant economic collapse, uncontrollable super gonorrhoea, collapse of the NHS, medicine shortages, food shortages and everything else quasi-apocalyptic, the establishment did their best to sink Brexit. But ended up still losing the referendum.</p><p>The big question is whether the same is true of Reform UK.</p><p>Indeed support for Reform UK has dropped.</p><p>At its peak, Reform were commanding up to 30% of the vote, at times enough to win a majority under First Past The Post.</p><p>That has fallen between 5-7%.</p><p>Around 2-3% has lurched towards Restore. The rest has either gone back to Labour with The Burnham Bounce, and some support will have drifted back to the Conservatives. </p><p>Which leads to the follow up question of can <em>and will </em>this support return? And indeed, whether there is even more support to harvest.</p><p>My assessment is that, over coming months, and with a few simple strategic changes, Farage can <em>and will </em>harvest the wind.</p><p>This is how.</p>

China.</p><p>First off let&#8217;s talk Labour and Beijing.</p><p>First we had the Barry Gardiner spying furore. In 2022, MI5 issued a rare public &#8220;interference alert&#8221; naming Christine Lee (a UK-based lawyer of Chinese origin) as an agent facilitating political interference on behalf of the CCP. Lee&#8217;s firm donated over &#163;584,000 to Gardiner&#8217;s office over several years, and he even employed her son. Gardiner also chaired a now-disbanded APPG on &#8220;Chinese in Britain&#8221; that Lee targeted. Now nobody says if you are the subject of infiltration you are complicit. But that&#8217;s a lot of cash, a lot of connection and a lot of coincidence that you are also part of a pro-China Parliamentary group. Not exactly a sinophobe&#8230;</p><p>Move forwards to present day and the astonishing situation where the UK government faced serious questions after a case against two men accused of spying for China collapsed just weeks before the trial was due to go ahead. Simply put, the Government refused to label the Chinese Communist Party as a threat to national security, and so the case collapsed. The excuse from Starmer? Legalese and process. As always.</p><p>Then we discover a new swathe of arrests had taken place and Labour MP Joani Reid is under investigation by the Labour party after her husband was arrested on suspicion of spying for China.</p><p>They just keep stacking up.
