“Posobiec was the first real amplifier of forged documents about Macron, according to an investigation by the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab. He then promoted a cache of Russia-hacked Macron campaign emails.” 6/ #PosobiecRussia
9/ “Posobiec has…promoted ‘Foundations of Geopolitics,’ a book by the Russian neofascist Aleksandr Dugin that explains how to undermine American democracy by inflaming racial tension & chaos thru political sabotage & disinformation.” #PosobiecRussiahuffpost.com/entry/the-vast…
13/ “The #MacronLeaks hashtag, from the moment Posobiec tweeted it, was the primary social media propellant of the hacked Macron data, according to cyber-intelligence analysts at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensics Research Lab.” nationalobserver.com/2017/05/09/opi…
14/ “They also concluded that bots played a significant role from the outset. Some 40 minutes later, Wikileaks tweeted the link with Posobiec's hashtag, and the Internet erupted.”
15/ “The appearance of bot activity, observed independently by both the DFRL and Belgian academic Nicolas Vanderbiest, from the first minutes after Posobiec's tweet, strongly suggests a planned and coordinated campaign.”
16/ “Others online also spotted anomalous activity patterns in two Macron hashtags used by Posobiec. No evidence directly connects Posobiec to observed bot activity, and he denies using them.”
17/ Posobiec also “has a Russian social media profile page, thanks he says, to his fiancée [who he married in 2017], Tanya Tay, who hails from Belarus, in the former USSR.” #PosobiecRussia

27/ Posobiec was conveniently situated in PA during the 2016 Democratic National Convention protest, which was triggered by Wikileaks’ publication of hacked DNC emails. After one Wikileaks DNC email dump, Bannon’s publicist (Alexandra Preate) texted Stone “well done.”
33/ Oh yeah. Posobiec also doxxed one of Roy Moore’s accusers. See post 32.

This cautionary post is newly relevant in that some of Trump’s Tech Bros ditched Biden/Harris over plans to regulate AI. Significantly, Trump has named Jacob Helberg—an advisor to Palantir’s CEO— as his Undersecretary of State for economic growth, energy, & the environment. 1/
3/ “Helberg has already started drafting an executive order for a future Trump administration that would strip away … Biden’s AI regulations (limited as they may be).”
