pewdiepie won't.
I just watched the clip and it's Baked Alaska doing the Hit or Miss song, but it's Alex Jones voice clips. That's it. But yes, pewdiepie will now be declared a Nazi again by the media.

"Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab turned Harold T. Martin III in to the NSA after receiving strange Twitter messages in 2016 from an account linked to him".
"Martin used an anonymous Twitter account with the name 'HAL999999999' to send five cryptic, private messages to two researchers at [Kaspersky Lab]."

"After each researcher responded to the confusion messages, Hal blocked them."

politico.com/story/2019/01/…
August 13, 2016 was the first message to the Kaspersky Lab researchers.

"So... figure out how how we talk. With Yevgeny present."

"Shelf life, three weeks."

In the Equation Group dump is a module known as "m12000000", or TADAQUEOUS, which does not have a Listening Post (LP) attached to it.

"It can only be loaded and unloaded through this interface, not controlled, and it will spit an error message."

laanwj.github.io/2016/09/01/tad…
What apparently TADAQUEOUS does is cripple or disable IPsec, or Internet Protocol Security.

"Most of the symbols are not standard Linux symbols but specific to the TOS/Fortinet implementation."

laanwj.github.io/2016/09/01/tad…
"I read this to mean that the hardware or software of the system running IPsec was compromised, causing it to send valid protocol ESP packets, but creating those in such a way that these could be decrypted without knowing the ESP session keys (from IKE)".

Note: the fauxdacted #Manafort filings say that Manafort met the GRU in Spain to discuss a "Ukranian peace plan".

You know who else worked on a "Ukranian peace plan"?

Michael Cohen. patribotics.blog/2018/12/07/mic…
2. The no doubt deliberate fauxdactions warn others what OSC wants hidden.

Important in that they show what OSC is presently trying to redact:

1. A meeting in Spain with the GRU
2. About the Ukr plan
3. Handed Trump polling data over
4. Ongoing contacts w Trump campaign
3. What are the cumulative implications of those redactions?

a) that Manafort continued to act for Trump
b) that in that capacity he received polling help from Russian intelligence
c) in exchange for the same sanctions relief on Ukraine Cohen was working on

That's collusion.

holy hell. Paul Manafort held secret talks w/ Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian embassy in London in late March 2016.

The month before (2/29/2016), he reached out to Trump via Tom Barrack to pitch himself as campaign chair. He was hired in March. Unpaid.
theguardian.com/us-news/2018/n…
2/29/2016: Manafort pitches himself to Trump via Tom Barrack, writing in a memo "I really need to get to Trump."

March 2016:
-Manafort meets Barrack at Montage hotel in Beverly Hills; discussed joining Trump campaign
-Manafort secretly meets w/Assange
-Manafort hired (3/28/2016)
Roger Stone was the one who convinced Trump to hire Paul Manafort. The idea of hiring Manafort to work unpaid? That was Roger Stone's idea.

This took place at some point in March 2016. The same month Manafort met with Julian Assange.

Manafort flipped. This is the "statement of the offenses" in which Manafort confesses to doing the crimes...

assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4883…
This first count #Manafort admits to is violation of 18 USC § 371, "Conspiracy Against the United States."

What does that mean? He conspired to commit a crime against the US or to defraud the US:
A conspiracy, definitionally, requires more than one conspirator. Who did Manafort conspire with? The first paragraph dealing with Count 1 names Richard Gates and Konstantin Kilimnik "and others"

12:11pm #Manafort told the judge: "I plead guilty."

Paul Manafort enters cooperation agreement with Justice Department cnn.com/2018/09/14/pol…
The #Manafort plea agreement includes
▪interviews with #Mueller
▪briefings with the office of Special Counsel
▪turning over documents related to Trump
▪testifying in other proceedings

That last will most directly impact Donald Trump Jr.

Now would be the time for a pardon.
Trump really has no concern for anyone. His oldest child is now threatened and nothing.

Trump always knew #Manafort could put Don Jr. in prison next to him and he dangled the hint of a pardon, but that's all.

Manafort's plea doesn't hurt Trump, but it sure hurts Jr.
Huh.
