Troll, Influencer or Criminal?

VigilantNet and the purpose of the substack

The lines of what it means to be a journalist have seemingly disappeared from our modern society, leaving a gap that’s rapidly being filled with new generation media. In a world where superpacs pour millions into tiktok campaigns, an entirely new information war has emerged in the background.

Behind closed doors, under the protection of cloudy state-by-state laws, there are groups that seek to influence and control. They don’t operate in the traditional manner, they’re not interested in a popular influencer to spread their message. These groups operate off of hate and fear, they have deep pockets and will pay well for effective work.

In reaction, a new kind of black market mercenary has emerged online for hire. Skilled but malicious groups have formed, creating ecosystems where these mercenaries band together to form bigger reputations and in return, bigger paychecks.

The purpose of this substack is to show the public how this new generation of psychological warfare operates. Over the course of the next few weeks and months, I will document my time following one of the biggest and well paid mercenary networks to date, onaforums.net. Readers will see an undercover journalist’s point of view from the inside as high dollar attacks are being planned and executed.

This series of articles has been a very long time in the making, it’s intention is to inform people so they can protect themselves, their familes and their reputations.
