Trenches Labs: How #TwitterGulag Works Part 2 – Seeing Active Blocks and Sweeps

In our prior post in this series we replicated a Reply Trap for sending an account to TwitterGulag. If you are unfamiliar with TwitterGulag and how Twitter activists use the platform to silence opponents you should read that article first. For those familiar with TwitterGulag and account suspensions, that post showed just one of the [...]

#OpShoqTheMonkey : Testing @dickc’s Claim About #TwitterGulag

For some time now, conservative users of Twitter have been well aware of the Twitter Gulag, the term created to describe unjustified suspensions of conservative accounts, usually done by a small but effective group of opposing users. Now, it’s to be expected that the perpetrators of this silliness and their supporters would deny it’s existence. [...]

Rauhauser Recap

It’s been a pretty action-packed week here at The Trenches, huh, kids? Jumping back and forth, seamlessly, between the misdeeds of the Matt-stermind behind #StopRush and the intimate (cough, wheeze) connections to everyone’s favorite sociopath, Neal Rauhauser. Oh, and the “ladies” in between. Yep. Fun times. Consider this article a place-holder of sorts. Something to [...]

Imani Gandy (@AngryBlackLady) Releases a Statement in Response to “The ‘Ladies’ of Stop Rush”

It didn’t take long. Three days after The Trenches shed light on some of the ladies involved with Matt Edelstein’s (aka @Shoq) Stop Rush movement, at least one of the ladies is distancing herself from the association.  This is perfectly understandable; indeed we applaud such an action considering the incidents of questionable legality we’ve uncovered.

Matt Edelstein and #StopRush Employed Brett Kimberlin’s Pal Neal Rauhauser As Their Private Investigator

The Trenches published a post yesterday containing various unedited excerpts from an illegally recorded phone call between Matt Edelstein, and a man still only known to us as “Randy” in the recording. In this post there  are a couple of excerpts wherein Matt discusses a private investigator that was employed to research Randy.   Remember how Matt [...]

StopRush’s Own Illegally Recorded Phone Call Exposes OFA, Soros, Van Jones, and 500 Automated Twitter Accounts

Matt Edelstein has finally stepped in his fecal-laden cat litter this time. It appears that someone infiltrated his Stop Rush group and punked them all. When they were finally getting wise to the spy, Edelstein thought he would outsmart the infiltrator (Neal Rauhauser would be proud of you, Matt) when he decided to record the [...]

Will The @Shoq Inner Circle Tell The Truth?

I just sent the following email to @Shoq and nine carefully chosen members of his inner circle: Hello, Some of you know who I am. To those who don’t, I’m writer who previously wrote for The Huffington Post and more recently became a protegé of the late Andrew Breitbart’s. I’m asking any of you to comment on [...]

Updated: Meet Matt Edelstein AKA Shoq – Leftist Douchebag Who Runs StopRush.net

Update #1: Matt’s location. He lives with his mom. Awesome. Update #2: Added the email screenshot (directly below) that Matt sent to his people today. My reason to post this screenshot is to prove to the dupes that surround Matt that our information is legit and that Matt’s still lying to them. Couple of points. [...]
