Second instalment describes dead ends, closes with teaser that next episode goes "east to Russia".
Second instalment describes dead ends, closes with teaser that next episode goes "east to Russia".
2/ in 2nd instalment, police told him that climategate hacker used proxy servers all over the world in operation. I expect that Corera will talk a lot about Mr FOIA using a proxy server in Russia, while being silent about his use of proxy servers in US and Germany.
3/ I wonder if he'll mention the upside-down Bellingcat analysis purporting to deduce Mr FOIA timezone from epoch timestamps in nomenclature of CG1 emails, which Bellingcat claimed to show +05:00. But they got it upside-down: if anything, it was -05:00 Eastern N America.
4/ I was interviewed by Corera about 2 weeks ago and he asked good questions. I've gone back and looked at documents and timestamps and I think that they unequivocally show that Mr FOIA was extremely knowledgeable about longstanding Climate Audit issues.
5/ and that Mr FOIA's path through CRU relates to disputes between Climate Audit and CRU - none of which had anything to do with Copenhagen conference. In which I and most readers were uninterested. There was always some climate conference just happening or just finished.
6/ contrary to the seemingly developing thesis that Climategate hack ushered in a new era of Russian active measures using hack and leak, it is more accurate to say that it ushered in new era of blaming Russia for everything, including very domestic disputes including Climategate
