Notorious propaganda unit likely spread ‘wild and
baseless’ Tim Walz abuse claims
A notorious Russian-backed propaganda unit with a
history of pushing Kremlin talking points through fake
whistleblower videos and deepfakes is the likely
culprit behind a sex abuse smear campaign aimed at
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, according to a report in
Wired.
The publication on Monday said it conducted an analysis
using “several deepfake detector tools” to trace the
origins of a fake Walz video that spread rapidly on X
last week to being AI-generated. The video, which
purports to show a former student of Walz detailing
abuse claims during his days as a teacher, reached over
4.3 million views before it was deleted.
And, according to several specialists following the
disinformation campaign against the Democratic vice
presidential nominee, the latest disinformation
campaign “is tied to a network called Storm-1516, which
has been linked to, among other things, a previous
effort that falsely claimed Vice President Kamala
Harris perpetrated a hit-and-run in San Francisco in
2011. Storm-1516 has a long history of posting fake
whistleblower videos, and often deepfake videos, to
push Kremlin talking points to the West,” Wired
reported.
The publication notes that Republican vice presidential
nominee Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) has repeated at least
one of the false narratives peddled by the propaganda
unit, which NBC News reported is also responsible for
pushing “at least 50 false narratives in this manner
since last fall, which comes amid a broader Russian
government effort to disrupt next month’s election with
the aim of helping former president Donald Trump return
to the White House,” according to Wired.
The spread of the “wild and baseless” abuse claims
against Walz has been amplified around MAGA world, but
Wired noted that last week’s release of the deepfake
video by "a prominent anonymous QAnon-promoting
account" was the first time the claims went viral.
A co-director at Clemson University’s Media Forensics
Hub told the publication “he immediately recognized
this tactic as part of Russia’s well-established
disinformation playbook.”
“There is little doubt this is Storm-1516,” Darren
Linvill told Wired, which added that the network was
uncovered last fall by Linvill's team.

it's been on the news..mostly of how the documents were
fabricated.
I was actually suprised you hadn't attempted to spread
it here already.
Getting sloppy, OT. The bosses won't be happy.
Too late now.

The 51 former US intelligence officials who smeared The
Post’s bombshell reports on Hunter Biden’s laptop as
“Russian disinformation” in a 2020 letter are standing
by their decision — with some referring to the move as
“patriotic” — even after the FBI and Justice Department
have confirmed the device’s authenticity, according to
a new report.

bopp said they were right, and that article said they were wrong but stand

stop lying...i said it seems they were right...jury is still out because the rump regime squashed or distorted everything...lots of big players putting out a lot of bullshit...you surely don't know what happened...
On October 19, 2020, a group of 51 former senior intelligence officials, who had served in the Trump administration and those of the three previous presidents, released an open letter stating that the release of the alleged emails "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation", adding:
We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails, provided to the New York Post by President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, are genuine or not and that we do not have evidence of Russian involvement—just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case.[34][103][104]
That night, Natasha Bertrand of Politico wrote a story about the letter, with the headline, "Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say." The rest of the story, however, was less definitive, with a subheading saying the former officials "signed a letter casting doubt on the provenance of a New York Post story," and noting in the story body that the letter said the information in the Post story "has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation." In a February 2023 analysis, Washington Post fact checker Glenn Kessler wrote "that headline likely shaped perceptions of the letter that continue to this day." Former director of national intelligence James Clapper, who signed the letter, told Kessler, "There was message distortion. All we were doing was raising a yellow flag that this could be Russian disinformation. Politico deliberately distorted what we said. It was clear in paragraph five" of the letter. Politico stood by their report in a statement to Kessler.[105]
and rump's man ratcliff:
During an interview with Fox News on October 19, 2020, National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe said the laptop was "not part of some Russian disinformation campaign" and accused Adam Schiff of mischaracterizing the views of the intelligence community by describing the alleged emails as part of a smear campaign against Biden.[106] Schiff's spokesman accused Ratcliffe of "purposefully misrepresenting" the US representative's words.[107] Ratcliffe had previously made public assertions that contradicted professional intelligence assessments.[108][109][110] Several security officials criticized Ratcliffe for appearing to pre-judge its outcome.[111] The FBI said it had "nothing to add" to Ratcliffe's remarks in response to a request for more information made by Sen. Ron Johnson.[112] The New York Times reported days after the Post story that no solid evidence had emerged that the laptop contained Russian disinformation.[1][41][61]

been confirmed as real for years by forensic analysis by the networks and
earlier this year the doj confirmed it was real
from that wiki page
According to reports on January 16, 2024, new filings by the U.S.
Department of Justice's special counsel, headed by David C. Weiss,
appear to be the first public confirmation of the laptop's authenticity by
the DOJ. The filings refer to the laptop connected to Hunter Biden stating,
“the defendant’s Apple MacBook Pro, which he had left at a computer
store.”

dude you falsely claimed it seems they were right. you can claim
ignorance, i suppose, but multiple organizations have done forensic
analysis of the laptop and now the doj has weighed in. you have
participated in discussions on this and even linked wiki which detailed all
that
