Happy #Guccifer2_Day everyone! To celebrate (if that's the right word), I'm making the kindle version of my book "Loaded for Guccifer2.0" FREE for the next few days. It exposes the real story of how, and why, the Russiagate hacking hoax began in earnest six years ago today. (1/?) On the 15th June 2016, a character calling himself Guccifer2.0 burst onto the internets claiming he was the guy who'd hacked the DNC. He produced documents that had been *purposefully* altered to include "Russian fingerprints." It allowed grateful intelligence agencies to (2/?)

Cyber-statecraft has certain traditions. One is; Ellen Nakashima from WaPo reports the story first. On 9th Dec, "according to people familiar with the matter," she broke that cyber-security giant #FireEye had been hacked to bits by #CozyBear. "Imagine my surprise." The CEO of FireEye (& Mandiant) is cy-biz super-star Kevin Mandia -- a pioneer in awarding 'Advanced Persistent Threat' status to 'nation-state' gangs. As my book shows he was key in making cyber-statecraft the greatest tool of diplomacy since the gunboat. amazon.com/dp/B08MSZHMGP

In response to the Ukraine crisis, at the Sept 2014 conference, NATO declared that cyber-space was now a `war-zone.' An attack against Critical Infrastructure could, in theory, invoke article V -- collective defense -- Hot War. A #FalseFlag is in place. #BuyCandles In July 2020 the NSA, and CISA primed the pump with a warning that systems typically used in Critical Infrastructure were about to be hacked. They didn't name who by but noted it would be just like (the False Flag) in Ukraine. They seemed to know something us-cert.cisa.gov/ncas/alerts/aa…

#Phalse-Phlag phishings are in preparation. They'll be blamed on Russia. Inevitably that will drag Trump into it and the end-game will have begun. #Wakeupsheeple. #Russiagate is back. Yesterday I noticed a story doing the rounds about some websites set up by (note the quotes) "Trump Supporters." Their names tell the story: enemiesofthepeople[.org]/[.us] & enemiesofthenation[.org]/[.com]. Election officials & Dominion employees were marked for death.

Finally! My book on my search for Guccifer2.0 is finished.

The initial aim was to find the `Lone Hacker,' and I'm as sure as anyone can be that I did. However, in passing, I also uncovered lots of information that's extremely relevant to what's going on right now. The events of November 2016 & 2020 were geopolitical events hidden behind domestic US politics. The most important thing to understand is that it's an *international* operation. Blame the `dirty Dems' all you like. It won't change a thing.

1/ Another Skripal thread.

From the ludicrous to the impossible. 2/ I've been busy so forgive me if these points have been made better elsewhere. This is crazy.

The Police have provided us with some CCTV images and claimed timings for the #doorknobdesperados, just as they previously did with Sergei Skripal's movements.

There's a problem.

THREAD on Mueller & Guccifer2.0

1/ Mueller has gone on a Phishing trip, and like most anglers likes to boast about the size of the big one. But there's no evidence of the catch, not even how he reeled them in. We are expected to take his word that "It was *this* big". 2/ I have a *long* standing project in the works looking at Guccifer2.0's documents which is proving to be more than interesting. It should settle it once and for all.

But in the meantime I'd like to look at a few aspects of the new indictment that do not compute.

Another #Amesbury / #Skripal thread

1/ You must read the superb series of articles on Amesbury and Skripal written by Rob Slane at the Blogmire. He leaves no doubt that the government has got it wrong



I want to look at one possibility that's not covered 2/ In part 3 Rob draws on a Daily Mail report about the Skripal's visit to an Italian restaurant.

theblogmire.com/joining-some-d…

After a 20 min wait for his meal Skripal becomes agitated and wants to leave. Rob speculates that it's because he has to go and meet someone. But who?

THREAD 2 on #Amesbury:
1/

In the last thread I pointed out that the Amesbury tragedy, and the Skripal poisoning had many clues which pointed to Fentanyl overdose being the culprit rather than Novochok.

2/ Since then more detail has come in about the symptoms of the deceased Dawn Sturgess and her critically ill boyfriend Charley Rowley.

Many papers report that they were "gurgling" and "foaming at the mouth".

The Times, is paywalled, but the the Sun thesun.co.uk/news/6693507/n…

@NakedHedgie @88softaIlherita @BrettHar123 @LucyKomisar @stranahan @PAT_1776US @jimmysllama @ClimateAudit @BrynGerard @jimmy_dore @Worldpravda @caitoz @batchelorshow @CraigMurrayOrg @RandPaul @TomFitton @realDonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr 1/ Deripaska, Khodorkosvky or Browder are the three likely candidates for the private client that funded 120 memos on Russia/Ukraine that were given to Winer. AFAIK of the three; only Browder is friends with Winer.

This is the genesis of Russiagate. It started as an @NakedHedgie @88softaIlherita @BrettHar123 @LucyKomisar @stranahan @PAT_1776US @jimmysllama @ClimateAudit @BrynGerard @jimmy_dore @Worldpravda @caitoz @batchelorshow @CraigMurrayOrg @RandPaul @TomFitton @realDonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr 2/ anti-Putin effort.

Winer passes them free of charge to Nuland. She "expresses surprise" about how "timely" they were. i.e. they contained the same info as official channels. (Or the same dis-info...).

Is the private client Bill Browder?

THREAD on Guccifer 1.0. and the Clinton Server.
1/
The awesome @tracybeanz has done some awesome research on timings and co-incidences about Marcel Lazar's (Guccifer1.0) hacking, and timeline meshing with the Page/Strozk texts. Go Read It.

2/ There's a 2017 story by Fox news about Lazar. We see something very interesting: he handed over 70 Gb of data to the FBI, which Fox say is equivalent to 1.75 million pages to the FBI of text.

But Fox are missing one vital detail.

1/ A thread on the curious tale of dcleaks.com. To which I have no firm answers, just some anomalies and leads I'd like to share. 2/ The spooks are sure about dcleaks in 2017:

dcleaks.com and Guccifer2.0 were named with "High Confidence" as key outlets for stolen DNC data in the 6th January 2017 Intelligence Community reports on Russian interference.

FBI's Priestep testified a direct link
