Operation Dark Clark – Russia built a real organisation around a false identity Most influence operations create fake people, fake websites or fake news stories. Operation Dark Clark appears to have gone considerably further: Russian operators built what looked like a functioning research organisation in Latin America, employed real people to produce genuine research and concealed from those employees who was ultimately directing their work. OpenAI disclosed the operation on 8 October after banning a cluster of accounts originating in Russia. The actors used ChatGPT while targeting countries across Latin America, principally to damage Ukraine’s reputation, manipulate domestic political debates and manage a self-described research organisation called the Social Research Center, or SRC. OpenAI assessed Dark Clark as Category Five on the six-level Breakout Scale, the first operation it has disrupted since beginning its influence-operation reporting to reach that level. A front organisation with real employees The SRC presented itself as a research platform studying subjects including Latin America’s relationship with India and the Indian diaspora. OpenAI found more than 60 articles on its website, most of them apparently original rather than plagiarised. Internal reports produced by the Russian operators discussed hiring, dismissals, salary scales, staffing and unfinished research projects, strongly suggesting that the operators controlled the organisation rather than merely collaborating with it. At the centre of the structure was “Mia Clark”, a fictitious identity reportedly used to manage social-media activity and communicate with staff. According to OpenAI, the available evidence indicates that employees working for SRC in Latin America were probably unaware that the organisation was being directed by Russian actors. They interviewed experts, conducted research and wrote papers in what appears to have been good faith. The deception therefore existed primarily at the organisational level: much of the work was real, but the identity and strategic purpose of the institution commissioning it were not. OpenAI This is one reason Dark Clark differs from the familiar model of a troll farm. A reader encountering an SRC paper might be looking at research genuinely written by a Latin American employee based on genuine interviews. The manipulation lies further upstream, in who built the institution, selected its direction and controlled its infrastructure. From forged emails to real events The operation also appears to have attempted something more ambitious than online persuasion: inducing real people to produce events that could later be turned into propaganda. In May 2026, according to the operators’ internal reports, they created an email address impersonating Lima’s regional education authorities and instructed schools to organise activities about Ukraine for a cultural-diversity event. The instructions included references to Stepan Bandera, whose historical legacy remains particularly contentious in Poland and parts of Eastern Europe. The operators claimed that some schools complied, replied to the false address and sent photographs of the events. OpenAI could not independently verify every claim contained in the operators’ reports. It did, however, find Peruvian reporting matching the story, followed by publications in Poland and an English-language outlet in Hungary. Some coverage included comments from a Polish MEP calling for people displaying what he described as anti-Polish attitudes to be declared persona non grata. OpenAI therefore concluded that the fabricated starting point appears to have entered genuine political debate across national borders. The mechanism is unusually effective because the final photographs need not themselves be fabricated. If people can be tricked into staging a real event on the basis of a forged instruction, the operation creates authentic visual evidence of something that was artificially initiated. The same method in Ecuador and Bolivia Dark Clark’s internal reports describe similar efforts elsewhere. In Ecuador, the operators claimed they used a fake education email to encourage schools to stage ceremonies involving President Daniel Noboa and Erik Prince, the former head of Blackwater. Ecuadorian media subsequently covered a matching controversy, and the country’s education minister issued a detailed denial. Other Ecuador-focused material included fabricated audio attributed to Ukraine’s consul and a false television report alleging that Noboa’s government was recruiting Ecuadorians to fight in Ukraine. Local fact-checker Lupa found that the supposed Teleamazonas report had never been broadcast, that images had been taken from Instagram, that the audio was AI-generated and that a company named in a supposed recruitment contract did not exist in Ecuador’s corporate registry. In Bolivia, an internal report described a fake audio recording supposedly made by an employee of state water company EPSAS during anti-government protests. It claimed that water supplies to La Paz would be cut and a state of emergency declared. The allegation produced a fact-check and an official denial. OpenAI says the operators explicitly described their objective as worsening the political crisis surrounding the demonstrations. Possible links to the post-Wagner influence machine Dark Clark did not emerge in a vacuum. The operators repeatedly asked ChatGPT about Politology and La Compania, names associated in previous investigations with the Russian influence apparatus that developed from structures once connected to Yevgeny Prigozhin. Forbidden Stories and its partners obtained 1,431 pages of internal documents describing a network known as “The Company”, which they reported had grown to almost 100 operatives and was conducting influence projects across roughly 30 Global South countries. Their investigation found that the organisation moved under the supervision of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, the SVR, after Prigozhin’s death. Its documented budget for ten months of activity in 2024 was approximately €7.3 million. Two older Argentina campaigns claimed in Dark Clark’s internal reports — a false story about Javier Milei buying Cartier collars for his dogs and the staging of anti-Milei graffiti — had already been independently attributed by investigative journalists to Politology/La Compania. That is significant corroboration, but it is not enough to prove that every Dark Clark activity was run by the same organisational structure. AI was the back office, not the mastermind Perhaps the most important finding concerns artificial intelligence itself. In most documented cases, the Russians were not using ChatGPT to generate the propaganda seen by the public. Their principal use was administrative: drafting reports for an unknown superior, summarising operations, translating material and recording the supposed success of campaigns. Those reports also expose a weakness in the operators’ own measurement. OpenAI found instances in which they tried to claim credit for developments they had probably not caused, suggesting that they were not only attempting to manipulate Latin American audiences but also presenting an inflated picture of their effectiveness to whoever was supervising them. Dark Clark nevertheless broke further into the real world than any influence operation OpenAI had previously disrupted. Under the Brookings framework, Category Five means that an operation has escaped its original network and been amplified by high-profile individuals such as politicians. Dark Clark crossed that threshold because fabricated narratives appear to have provoked governmental denials, mainstream reporting and political comment in several countries. Its most important innovation was therefore not a particularly convincing deepfake. It was the construction of a partly genuine institution around a concealed foreign controller. The research could be real. The employees could be real. The interviews could be real. What was false was who they were ultimately working for.

Yesid Lancheros wrote that SEMANA reported that Verónica Alcocer made 149 trips, almost all on state planes, and transported nearly 2,100 passengers. Among them were the Catalans, Alcocer's cousin, Mario Fernández Alcocer; Carolina Plata, who Eva Ferrer pointed out as an alleged frontman; and the Italian Enrico Romagnoli, investigated for alleged corruption in Ecopetrol. Lancheros indicated that a flight to Venezuela on January 31, 2023, on a state aircraft Legacy FAC 1218, was the one Ferrer mentioned in statements to SEMANA. According to Ferrer, drugs would have been transported on that flight, and 2.5 million dollars had been brought from Venezuela. He also stated that the Catalan businessman Manel Grau told him that part of that money was intended to finance Fernández Alcocer's campaign for the governorship of Sucre in the 2023 regional and local elections. Ferrer added that, according to what he had been told, there would be photographs of Alcocer getting off the plane with gray suitcases and a movement of capital between both countries would have occurred. #Corrupción #Colombia #Ecopetrol (translated)

🚨🚨 BOMBSHELL JUST DROPPED — THERE IS NO HIDING THIS ANYMORE 🚨🚨 Investigative journalist Catherine Herridge just exposed the documents. China was BLACKMAILING the Biden family… and it was sitting in President Biden’s own daily brief. She found the records. She held them up on camera. The evidence is right there. And what did the FBI, CIA, and the entire legacy media do? They buried it. They looked the other way. They protected the regime. This isn’t politics. This isn’t a “scandal.” This is TREASON at the highest level. They knew. They covered it up. And they did it to keep power. No more excuses. No more “conspiracy theories.” The documents are out. The truth is staring America in the face. Share this everywhere. The American people deserve to know. W.H.G https://x.com/WHGrampa0/status/2103050260465451359

Disse que não tinha voado - O senador Flávio Bolsonaro, candidato à Presidência pelo PL, viajou em um avião que tinha como donos o ex-banqueiro Daniel Vorcado e o advogado Willer Tomaz, investigado na fraude do INSS. O voo entre os Estados Unidos e o Brasil foi em janeiro de 2025. A informação sobre a viagem de Flávio Bolsonaro no Legacy 650 foi publicada pela revista "piauí". A TV Globo teve acesso ao registro de entrada e saída da alfândega americana de Flávio Bolsonaro. O senador entrou por Miami, na Flórida, em 27 de dezembro de 2024. Flávio foi passar as festas de fim de ano nos Estados Unidos com a família e amigos, e ficou no país até o dia 19 de janeiro, quando usou o avião para voltar ao Brasil. A bordo do voo também estavam a esposa de Flávio, as filhas do casal e o advogado Willer Tomaz, amigo do senador. Os dois já fizeram outras viagens juntos, como uma para um safári na África do Sul, como mostra uma foto divulgada pelo site de "O Globo". Segundo os registros da Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil, o Legacy é formalmente da empresa Fraction 024 Administração de Bem Próprio, a F24. A empresa tem como sócios duas pessoas ligadas a Vorcaro: Marcus Vinicius da Mata e Artur Martins de Figueiredo. Em julho de 2026, Flávio Bolsonaro disse que nunca tinha entrado em um avião de Daniel Vorcaro e que a relação com o ex-banqueiro foi para pedir financiamento para o filme “Dark Horse”, sobre a trajetória política do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro. Nesta quinta-feira (24), em uma rede social, o candidato do PL à Presidência confirmou ter usado o Legacy 650 na viagem de volta ao Brasil, mas negou que o avião pertencesse a Daniel Vorcaro.

O senador Flávio Bolsonaro voou em uma aeronave de Daniel Vorcaro em janeiro de 2025 ao regressar da Flórida para Brasília após uma viagem em família. É o mesmo jato executivo de alto padrão, de prefixo PP-NLR, que transportou o ministro do STF Alexandre de Moraes em agosto do mesmo ano, conforme revelou o jornal O Globo. [Comentário de Noblat: só em dezembro de 2025 Flávio foi indicado pelo pai para candidato a presidente da República.] A piauí apurou que a empresa Prime You, que tinha então Vorcaro como um dos sócios, já era dona de um terço das cotas da aeronave na data do voo. A aquisição foi realizada no fim de 2024. A viagem de Flávio, candidato à Presidência pelo PL, foi feita em família: com a mulher, a cirurgiã-dentista Fernanda Antunes Figueira Bolsonaro, e as duas filhas do casal. Entre os passageiros estava ainda o amigo Willer Tomaz, o advogado e empresário que já foi preso no escândalo da JBS (do qual acabou absolvido) e é investigado no esquema de desvios bilionários do INSS. Tomaz confirmou à piauí que era dono de uma das três cotas do avião. Além de detentora de outra dessas cotas, a Prime You também era operadora do jato, por meio da Prime Aviation Táxi Aéreo e Serviços, que integra seu portfólio. Segundo informações da própria empresa, a Prime You teve Vorcaro como sócio de 2021 até setembro de 2025. Um relatório da Polícia Federal mostra que cada uma das cotas de 33,33% valia 5,5 milhões de dólares em maio de 2025. Nessa época, a empresa negociava a transferência da participação para o escritório da advogada Viviane Barci de Moraes, mulher de Alexandre de Moraes, que acabou não se concretizando. O jornal O Globo foi o veículo que revelou na semana passada que a Polícia Federal encontrou, durante as investigações sobre as fraudes no INSS, registros de que Flávio e Tomaz viajaram juntos de Fort Lauderdale para Brasília em 19 de janeiro de 2025, véspera da posse de Donald Trump. Reportagem de Patrik Camporez informou que o grupo viajou numa aeronave operada pela Prime You. A piauí identificou que esse avião é o Legacy 650 de prefixo PP-NLR, ao cruzar registros históricos de tráfego aéreo, uma planilha de movimentos aeroportuários e informações do Registro Aeronáutico Brasileiro – parte desses dados estava disponível na CPI do Crime Organizado. Os registros históricos de tráfego aéreo no site ADBS-Exchange mostram que, em 19 de janeiro de 2025, o PP-NLR decolou do Aeroporto Internacional de Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, atravessou o Caribe e o Norte da América do Sul e pousou em Brasília. Uma planilha de movimentos aeroportuários confirma que o PP-NLR chegou a Brasília vindo de Fort Lauderdale naquele dia. Data, origem e destino coincidem com o voo de Flávio e Tomaz identificado pela PF e revelado pelo Globo. Na passagem pela Flórida, Flávio e Willer estiveram no Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, onde, segundo a coluna de Lauro Jardim, do Globo, passaram a noite de 18 para 19 de janeiro, antes de retornarem ao Brasil. “Lá, Willer retirou 236 mil dólares em dinheiro vivo”, escreveu o colunista. Ao comentar a notícia, Willer Tomaz afirmou que ficou hospedado no hotel por oito dias, mas negou a jogatina. Essa foi uma dentre várias viagens que Flávio Bolsonaro e Willer Tomaz fizeram juntos, que incluíram ainda um safári na África do Sul dois meses depois, em março de 2025. Além disso, a proximidade entre Flávio e Willer se estende aos imóveis do advogado. Em agosto, como revelou a piauí, Flávio Bolsonaro usou durante a campanha em São Paulo um apartamento que a empresa de Tomaz havia comprado em fevereiro passado de Fabiano Zettel, cunhado e operador financeiro de Vorcaro, com deságio de 2 milhões de reais.(piauí) #FlávioBolsonaro #PolíticaBrasil #Aeronaves

AFRICA DAILY REPORT — 23 SEPTEMBER 2026 Major developments reported during the previous 24 hours 1. SOUTH SUDAN — Kiir dissolves transitional government ahead of December election Importance: 10/10 — Critical President Salva Kiir dissolved South Sudan’s transitional government after signing amendments that remove requirements to complete a permanent constitution and census before the long-delayed national election. The opposition has challenged the changes, while the move fundamentally reshapes the political framework ahead of what is intended to be the country’s first national election since independence.

SUDAN — US links Burhan’s UN visa to proposed ceasefire Importance: 9.5/10 — Very High The United States is withholding a visa for Sudanese army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan ahead of the UN General Assembly, according to Reuters sources, in connection with a US-backed proposal for a 90-day ceasefire that Khartoum has resisted. Sudan has asked the UN to intervene, and its foreign minister is expected to address the General Assembly instead if the dispute is not resolved. Source: Reuters — https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/us-withholding-sudanese-leaders-visa-over-ceasefire-plan-sources-say-2026-09-22/ 3. SUDAN — Currency collapse deepens civilian economic crisis Importance: 9/10 — Very High Sudan’s pound has lost nearly half its value in army-controlled territory since May, trading at around 7,500 pounds to the dollar on the black market versus about 4,100 in May. Reuters links the collapse to the economic fragmentation created by the war, reduced state revenues and wartime spending. The depreciation is driving up the cost of basic goods and worsening hardship for civilians and returning refugees.

DR CONGO — Government orders investigation into violence at anti-government protest Importance: 8.5/10 — Very High DR Congo’s justice minister ordered a judicial investigation into violence during the September 15 opposition protest in Kinshasa, including reports of injuries, arrests, property destruction and a death. The demonstration opposed a proposed constitutional change that could allow President Félix Tshisekedi to seek another term. Police used tear gas, while clashes were also reported between opposition demonstrators and pro-government groups.

RWANDA / BELGIUM — Diplomatic relations restored after 18-month rupture Importance: 8/10 — High Belgium and Rwanda have resumed diplomatic relations 18 months after breaking ties amid their dispute over the conflict in eastern DR Congo. The restoration is diplomatically significant because Belgium has been a prominent European actor in the Great Lakes region and relations deteriorated sharply over allegations concerning Rwanda’s role in the Congolese conflict.

LIBYA — Armed group shuts pipeline valve, reducing Sharara oil production Importance: 8/10 — High An unidentified armed group closed a valve on the pipeline connecting Libya’s major Al-Sharara oil field with Zawiya, reducing production. The National Oil Corporation warned that a prolonged shutdown could force it to declare force majeure and could also affect the Zawiya refinery. The disruption again demonstrates the vulnerability of Libya’s oil-dependent economy to armed-group pressure and political fragmentation.

MOROCCO — Parliamentary election puts youth participation and social pressures in focus Importance: 7.5/10 — High Nearly 16 million registered voters are eligible to elect Morocco’s 395-member House of Representatives today. Youth disengagement is a major issue: Africanews/AFP reports that only around 4% of registered voters are aged 18–24. Employment, housing, public services and the legacy of the Gen Z-led protests are central themes surrounding the vote.

GUINEA — Exiled opposition leader says authorities revoked his passport Importance: 7/10 — Significant Guinean opposition figure Cellou Dalein Diallo says his passport was revoked as he prepared to travel from Abidjan to New York for meetings on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Diallo has lived in exile since 2022. His UFDG party was dissolved in March along with other opposition parties, adding the passport case to wider concerns about political restrictions under President Mamady Doumbouya.
