To no one specific, but over the years various people will sometimes dm me good open source info that I don’t RT it, not bc the open source isn’t gold, but bc the tweet itself includes a description of the OSINT that exaggerates or otherwise takes liberties w/ what it shows. 1/
When u exaggerate or take liberties w/ what u can definitively show/prove, it leaves u (and me) open to attack. Better to show than tell, understate than overstate. 2/
.@RVAwonk is one of the most vicious accounts on Twitter when she targets someone. She may well target me now. And then there is Chuck “The Doxxer” Johnson. This was anything but a “safe” move on my part. RVA claims I did it for clout.🙄 1/
Maybe CBouzy can catch some rest now. I’m seriously not looking forward to RVA’s claws in my neck. She is brilliant. But she is also vicious and brutal. 2/
Someone sent me a few of the posts she “liked” about me (calling me a conspiracy theorist and not a “real journalist”). Hopefully it will stop there but I doubt it. 3/

“Over time, this chaos creates what Pomerantsev describes as a ‘fog of unknowability.’ Kellyanne Conway espouses ‘alternative facts’ on NBC’s Meet the Press. President Trump continues to insist that millions voted illegally in the general election.“ 2/
‘In that fog, norms and rational debate disappear, and all that matters is whoever’s faster, harder, more daring,’ Pomerantsev says.” 3/
Calling out a once admired influencer who is flirting with neo-Nazis is in fact my way of saying “f#ck that.” If u think this was safe or easy, ur wrong. I now have a target on my back. Someone had to shut this sh#t down. So I did. You’re welcome. ❤️
Correction: Supposedly “reformed” neo Nazis who now seek only to “thread the needle” on the “Jewish question” & the extent of the Holocaust. My bad. 🙄
