This redirecting of Antifa(.)com to the Joe Biden campaign website seems more & more well thought out & planned. Using a headerless 302 redirect was not accidental. Using @Namecheap as ur registrar also makes getting any response from them near impossible.
But the one thing they may not have accounted for is to have the Antifa(.)com domain get flagged as malicious by Google. And given this domain is likely worth 10's of thousands of dollars on the open market. Having all its value erased by Google isn't insignificant @Namecheap
Hopefully the Biden campaign can just block the incoming IP address given the headerless 302 redirect is proving more problematic than we thought. Which begs the question ... why is this even allowed anymore? Is there ever a legitimate use for allowing headerless 302 redirects?
I am glad the Biden campaign @Rob_Flaherty is finally aware of this and attempting a solution. Because right-wing accounts like these continue to exploit a situation that appears to have some possible (unconfirmed) Russian connections / involvement.
Its still not clear if Antifa(.)com actually exchanged hands earlier this yr, or remains under the control of a previous Russian registrar. Whats know is that on 4-14-20 at 3:30 am the Antifa(.)com domain changed 2 private Namecheap registrar & pointed its DNS 2 Siteground
A wordpress CMS based website using the WP theme Coming Soon was constructed soon after on Siteground. There is a fair amount of interesting things in the archived code including links to the Twitter and Youtube accounts that were also created in April. #infoOps#infosec#osint
The Twitter account they used @AntifaWebsite was suspended in August by Twitter. Not sure why or for what reason. This original bio description talking about "financial opportunities" is quite interesting and reminiscent of recent Russian operations uncovered by @Graphika_NYC
This may be completely coincidental but I believe Siteground is a Bulgarian company and its interesting that Google for whatever reason archived a copy of the @AntifaWebsite twitter page with the Bulgarian lang tag
Here is one archived screen of the Antifa(.)com website. It also isn't clear where on the website one could sign up anonymously to join the "worldwide" Antifa fight and start getting ur Soros checks. Sorry a little #disinfo humor.
The operatives behind this #infoOps experimented with a few different redirects of Antifa(.)com starting in late July I believe. Briefly redirected it at a @KamalaHarris website and then finally pointed it at the JoeBiden(.)com website where it continues to redirect. #osint
🔥🔥 Now that Sidney Powell has flipped on everyone else in the #BigLie (Michael Flynn as well possibly)… these prior details about David Hancock apparently having a phone recording between Donald Trump and Sidney Powell at Lin Wood’s Tomotley about the time General Flynn got his pardon from Trump … well 💥💥
@visionsurreal Outstanding article just out by @emptywheel that follows along this line of thinking that there may in fact be some damning evidence of a quid pro quo for the pardon Trump gave to Flynn while they were all at Lin Wood’s plantation in Georgia. emptywheel.net/2023/10/22/don…
I have become fascinated with one of the more obscure defendants that was named in the @faniforDA indictment that most prominently included Donald Trump and his efforts to reverse the Presidential outcome (his loss) in Georgia. The name is Rev. Stephen Lee and he is an ordained Missouri Synod Lutheran minister & a connection to NAR (New Apostolic Reformation). 1/9
Here is the relevant section of the @faniforDA indictmetn that discusses Rev. Stephen Lee's invovlement and the relevant charges. Basically he traveled to Georgia to help with the efforts of overturning Trump's loss there after the 2020 election. Lee was indicted for attempting to coerce election worker Ruby Freeman into falsely admitting election fraud. 2/9
First it should be noted that the doctrine of the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church (LCMS) is very very different from that of the ELCA Lutheran church with LCMS being much more conservative and rigid. Anti-LGBTQ, anti-reproductive rights, forbids women being ministers and oddly states a position against Freemasonry ect... 3/9
There is alot of talk that the new Qanon movie "Sound of Freedom" is being heavily astroturfed and this thread by @CyKoore sure seems to support that idea. Lots of talk that big blocks of tickets are being bought up by unknown dark money sources and lots of videos of empty… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
In fact Angel Studios themselves crowd-sourced the purchase of tickets to the #SoundOfFeeedom movie that supposedly were then provided free of charge to patrons wanting to watch the movie. It would appear millions of tickets were procured in this manner both by Angel Studios and… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
So is the supposed talk of box office success of #SoundOfFeeedom actually being astroturfed? Its difficult to empirically assess something like this but one way is to look at Google trends data and compare it to other movie openings. We found a few things of interest. One thing… https://t.co/KS6fPXmayktwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
This is looking more and more like a classic Kremlin hack and leak disinfo Op. Pretty clear with the fabricated Russian vs Ukrainian troop losses. We have found a couple pro-Kremlin accounts dispersing the documents on Twitter well before the NYTimes. Accounts involved in prior Kremlin #disinfo
Here is one pro-Kremlin troll account that has a clear past history of pushing out / boosting prior Kremlin disinformation operations. This account pushed out a portion of the leaked document hours before the New York Times article and promoted the part that was fabricated showing a significantly lower level of Russian troop losses than that of Ukrainian troop losses. Oddly levels lower than what even the Russian MoD has admitted to in the past. We redacted the sensitive parts of the screenshot of the original tweet.
Without having the original un-rendered image its difficult to assess how it might have been photoshopped / manipulated but it does appear text insertions were made in the "Total Assessed Losses" section. See image 2. Because the documents appear to have been leaked as photos of the physical copies there are bends and warpage in the final image. This was not fully taken into account in the manipulated / fabricated image.
And here is possible confirmation. Before and after ... insertions and deletions in the numbers of troop losses and equipment losses. Since this was also posted by someone else anonymously still no way to vouch for authenticity but seems to align with what others are saying in private. Still not clear how these classified documents detailing secret U.S. and NATO plans for aiding Ukraine were leaked and how much of them are even real. #NATO leaks #activemeasures #InfoOp cc @Dragnet_News
So remember a few months back when @NickKnudsenUS and I believe @visionsurreal also before that brought this to our attention .... this crazy Watchman Decree pledge / NAR adjacent video? One part of it seemed especially odd? The part that pledged "we declare we will be energy… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
This section in particular in Emma Brown's new @washingtonpost article talking about how Ginni Brown's CRC group was only ever on one amicus brief and it was with the "American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers" group. Who here would be shocked to learn that we may soon find… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Here is the tweet from @NickKnudsenUS again that shows the full video. Please watch it. Note the part about the "seven mountains" ... something very integral to NAR ideology. And the reference to "wokeness" is no mistake. This is "Christofascism"
Well this was a rather STUNNING relevation by Lev Parnas tonight ... that Hunter Biden was drugged in kazakhstan in 2019 by the Russian FSB with the cooperation of the CEO of Burisma and his harddrive was copied and possibly manipulated by Russian Intel to be used later as… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Lev Parnas goes on to implicate Rudy Giuliani in a rather eye popping way ... including prior in the Twitter space the allegation that Giuliani had access to and used a Russian asset for the past 15 yrs.
Lev Parnas earlier in the Twitter space discussed why he was prosecuted & said he funneled about $500,000 Russian money to campaigns of
Donald Trump
Kevin McCarthy
Ron DeSantis
Pete Sessions
While in jail he came to the realization that he was a pawn used by Giuliani and that… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
