There are many reasons why some of us comb through social media when digging on someone, but one of the reasons is that foreign agents do not pick up their phone, call their foreign agency and say "I completed my mission and await your next order."

As we've seen dozens of times, they use somewhat normal venues (like internet gaming forums), and try to speak in a manner that doesn't raise suspicion. To that end, they need to be employed in a field that is related to their targets.

You can say a lot with an image without saying it: who your allies are, what time you met with them, where you're at, what you're doing. If you were a handler, it would allow you to keep tab on different aspects of your op.

For instance, a debate with Alan Dershowitz may be telling someone that the important information Dershowitz had has now been conveyed to the person you're directing, who will later pass it along to someone else.

It might also show them that a group leader has conveyed a plan to others. As a hypothetical, we might say Dave Rubin met with Lisa boothe, Karolk Markowicz, Dave Reaboi, Jordan Schachtel, Kyle Kashuv, Liz Wheeler and Josh Hammer to discuss.

Let's not forget that Jordan Schachtel was already caught on camera running influence operations. Has anything been done about this yet @DHS @KristiNoem @FBI ?

@DHS @KristiNoem @FBI To make it clear, the reason foreign assets don't pick up phones is because of signals intelligence. A foreign communication is subject to capture by a group like the NSA:


You don't want top secret info to be picked up. Or bribe offers. nsa.gov/Signals-Intell…

@DHS @KristiNoem @FBI Nobody knows this better than the "Israelis"--they were running Amdocs during 9/11. Remember when X was going to use AU10TIX for biometric authentication? They're partnered with Amdocs:
amdocs.com/about/partners…

@DHS @KristiNoem @FBI Since posts are timestamped, the timeline is built in. But the social media posts give you context. This was on the day Trump came down the escalator. The last thing these people wanted was to Make America Great Again.
