🚨 #𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗘 🚨

The "exclusive" video of Hamza Bin Laden circulating right now via @cyberpionier (Guido Blaauw), @TPASarah (Sarah Adams) and @TransatlanticIC (Guido and Sarah) is 𝗙𝗔𝗞𝗘.
Guido calls it a "virtual bomb" that "the world is not ready for." He is right about one thing: The world isn't ready for how easily he was duped.
How can I be 100% sure? 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗜 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁.
I fed them fabricated intel to prove they are spreading dangerous disinformation. Here is the full story.

🪡 1/11 👇

First, some context. In the #Netherlands 🇳🇱, Guido Blaauw has a terrible reputation. He is widely regarded as a fraud and legitimate journalists do not take him seriously anymore.
However, he uses the language barrier to fool an international audience into thinking he is a "top spy." He isn't.

🪡 2/11

Guido and Sarah have a habit of pushing unverified sensationalism to fit their narrative. They aggressively block anyone who asks for proof.
I even tried to warn Sarah about Guido privately. Instead of doing due diligence, she attacked me.
That was the moment I decided to test their "vetting process." Spoiler: It doesn't exist.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

I took a random screenshot from a generic YouTube video. I Photoshopped the last known face of Hamza Bin Laden onto it and aged him slightly.
I created a fake persona, @ZafaraniRebel, and sent the photos to Guido.

🪡 4/11

Did he check the metadata? Did he reverse image search? No.
Guido immediately took the bait. In fact, he was so eager for this "scoop" that he insisted on paying me for the pictures.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 #𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗳𝗮𝗸𝗲

To make it convincing, I used @Kling_AI to animate the image. Since AI video looks too "clean," I used @capcutapp to blur it, crop the watermark, and lower the quality to make it look like leaked raw intel.

🪡 6/11

I sent this video via another sockpuppet account, @RohullahAfghanm.
Once again: No verification. Just greed. Guido offered to pay money again. He didn't care if it was real; he cared that it was "exclusive."

🪡 7/11

This establishes a pattern. Earlier, using the handle @RolluhAfghan, I sent him a photo of a random house I found on YouTube, claiming it was a "Safehouse in Kandahar."
He bought that story too. He swallows anything that generates clicks.

🪡 8/11

Now, @TransatlanticIC claims they "verified" the Hamza footage with AI detectors.
𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗲. I generated this video from scratch. If they had actually run forensic analysis, they would have seen the #AI markers immediately. They are lying to you to appear credible.

🪡 9/11

Guido is not an intelligence expert; he creates fiction for clout.
If you want to see the extent of his questionable history, check out @enviroloog. They have been documenting his scams and fabrications for a long time.

🪡 10/11

We are entering an era where seeing is no longer believing. If a random guy with a laptop can fool these "experts" into paying for a 30-minute AI hoax, they are a danger to the #OSINT community.
𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴.
