So apparently DNI Ratcliff has already forgotten what they said about Derkach
So now we have the FBI, which sources say is examing the "Hunter Biden laptop" as part of an investigation into Foreign interference with our election contradicting Trump loyalist and head of DNI, John Ratcliffe. #Election2020 #infoOps #osint
So here's a great example of something that is suppose 2 prove something but actually doesnt. This email has been widely used as proof its Hunter Biden's laptop & that his Lawyer now wants it back. However, it proves only one thing. That Hunter possibly has a lawyer named George
#FoxNews passing says a lot about the credibility concerns & inability to verify anything. Given all the ways to retrieve / receive / hack authentic emails I don't think anyone believes there aren't some real Hunter emails in the mix. But which ones?

This thread by @yashar & one by @File411 that I will link to next is a good head's up that there are still a number of fake #resistance accnts just waiting to flip into pro-Trump #MAGA accounts. Much like the astroturfed #Walkaway campaign of a few yrs ago
The @VenusSylbrine account, which has since been deleted, unexpectedly turned from a #resistance account to a pro-Trump #MAGA account on October 16th, a few days back. @File411 has a good thread here #infoOps #osint #disinfo #infosec Image
Looking back in July this @VenusSylbrine account was posing as a #resistance #blacklivesmatter account #BLM and had built up a moderate following and was quite active at retweeting out resistance related content. #infoOps #osint #disinfo #infosec Image

The full report by the Stanford Internet Observatory on the take down of the Rally Forge / Turning Point USA domestic troll farm operation is very illuminating and clearly domestic actors are now copying Russian IRA style tactics #infoOps #disinfo #osint
One jaw-dropping section was the discovery that a fake political persona was created & running in Arizona’s Fifth Congressional District. The operation wasn't fully formed and didn't realize much traction. Stanford suggested a number of possible motives. #infoOps #disinfo #osint
Given the political connections Rally Forge has, this was not done as some kind of Borat style joke. It was likely a dry-run test. Keep in mind political candidates, no matter how small have a possible path to blue checkmarked verification status on Twitter for example.

It would appear the Russians have hacked and are dumping Hillary Clinton's emails again .... oh wait ... I am getting something in my earpiece ... "its not the Russians this time?"
When are we going to get to see what is in Hillary Clinton’s pantry. I really really doubt she prefers crunchy peanut butter over creamy.
So just in time for Hurricane #Delta? Image

Remember some of these headlines back in May? This is a fascinating BREAKING article in the Wall Street Journal about a service called Mixi(.)media. There a number of companies that do this where its not clear who the primary news source is #osint
We came across Mixi(.)media back in May when we were looking at #covid19 disinformation and looked at some of the odd Twitter accounts that were pushing the mixi(.)media stuff. #osint
This service like a number of others like it actually obscure who the true source behind the news banner is. Here are a few banner ad titles the Mixi(.)media redirect link and the final landing source. #osint

It would appear that #LatinosForTrump is as much astroturf as it is wishful thinking. Maybe less "astroturf" than the very fake "#AmishForTrump" that got skewered on Twitter. Russian media defended the lady with designer sunglasses, an iPhone & Gucci handbag as being Amish
And no doubt Russia will come to the aid of the #LatinosForTrump campaign as well. We looked at this recent tweet by the Trump campaign sanctioned account @\EquipoTrump promoting the hashtag #LatinosForTrump with a campaign video. We reviewed the first 210 most immediate retweets
Not surprisingly there were alot of relatively new accounts and a seeming paucity of authentic Hispanic accounts.

Fascinating, we have started our analysis of our #Hamilton68 archive of Kremlin aligned trolls and their Twitter conversations around trying to de-legitimize the 2020 elections. Alot of retweeting of President Trump, actually & boosting content like this. #infoOps #osint #disinfo
The article was originally put out by the Kremlin aligned blogging site fort-russ(.)com on July 30th and the account preceded to push out the article again & again using a link shortener until it gave up on August 1st. Notice the other hashtags included. #infoOps #osint #disinfo
Very much related to this previous FBI PSA
