With news that Twitter Inc. is now X Corp, we'll ask again:

Is it weird reverse DNS records from Elon Musk's x[.]com ping from an IP in Khabarovsk, Russia?

An IP that, up until recently, was administered by GCore Labs, who last year had pledged to no longer do business in 🇷🇺? PTR records for x.comDNS records showing IP addr...Last year, G-core Labs pled... Maybe it’s just us, but does it also seem odd one of the other two domains hosted on the Russian Federation IP 92.38.189.247 is i41[.]ltd?

i41[.]ltd is registered to one Jianbo Zhang of Guangdong, China, the name of a professor focused on hydrogen and lithium-ion tech.🪫🔋 More DNS records for x[.]co...Lithium ion tech professor ...More i41[.]ltd DNS records.

1. Now that it's cool for Elon stans and to care about New Knowledge's government contracts and the GEC, we are left wondering why @mtaibbi omits so much that we covered more than a year ago in his latest #TwitterFiles release. 2. Back in Jan. 2022, our EIC @rocco_castoro cracked open government contracts with Popily, Inc., aka Yonder which was a rebrand of New Knowledge following revelations that they had used Russian-inspired tactics in the Alabama 2017 Senate special election. archive.is/3q4hp Image

What's #SHADOWBOX, the so-called "reputation management" firm?

A chopshop where Ed Butowsky, "Defango" Chavez, Thomas Schoenberger, and Wikileaks-affiliated PR guy Trevor FitzGibbon spun out the "Hillary put a hit on Seth Rich" yarn

+ A LOT of other chicanery. Shadowbox Pitch and Description of Services We'll be explaining more about #SHADOWBOX soon, but for now we're just going to sit back and soak up the pure joy of all the streamers, grifters, and dreamers who knew all about it.

As they scramble like cockroaches to get out from under the weight of closeted skeletons.

Newly released materials from the Mueller investigation raise questions about Paul Manafort's trip to Morocco.

On July 31, 2016 Tom Barrack sent Manafort this email. What's behind the redactions?

Barrack's testimony indicates that Manafort was supposed to meet a redacted party. George Nader told the FBI that MBS & MBZ stay at a compound in Tangier, Morocco every summer.

Local news reported that even King Salman was at the compound hosting the Abu Dhabi royal family.

Did Manafort plan to meet MBS & MBZ in Tangier with Barrack?

BONUS EPISODE: The narration of our first T.M.I. post about Tom Barrack leveraging his Ukrainian network to put Paul Manafort on Trump's 2016 presidential campaign is now available to listen on podcast platforms and our site.
theknows.net/tmi/queuing-up… DID YOU KNOW: Trump was initially uninterested in hiring Manafort because of his association with "dirty trickster" Roger Stone.

Imagine how different things would be if Tom Barrack hadn't "leaned hard" on Trump to hire Manafort.
