But let's start with Eric's documentation of media-influence operations & go from there.

One, the patterns were easily detected, & hard evidence could be found in abundance.
Two, Eric *didn't* stop with documenting & researching just that one piece.

Yes, as I've noted before, you can pull all the "re-issued" credentials, then check for any preceding ID.
But that's just a start.

Given the targeting of Brennan, we’ve hit another tipping point.

@ericgarland @20committee @JamesFourM @Medium @FBI @NSAGov @DHSgov @GCHQ @LincolnsBible @USTreasury @BarackObama @NATO @DARPA I was planning to drop more evidence sources, but I don't think everyone yet realizes the security-clearance fiasco is a giant evidence-reaping machine *in* *itself.*

@ericgarland @20committee So, .@ericgarland gets a new kind of botnet targeting, & .@JamesFourM runs into issues w/his article on @Medium?
There was a warning about harassment & the countering release of evidence on the conspiracy.

.@FBI .@NSAGov .@DHSgov .@GCHQ
@ericgarland @20committee @JamesFourM @Medium @FBI @NSAGov @DHSgov @GCHQ The warning: Any egregious harassment of Kremlin critics could release or expedite yet *another* major evidence source against the conspiracy.
While unpleasant, I think these two each warrant something modest… yet formidable.
& apropos.

What, you might ask, is so deadly about global finance & the conspiracy? Beyond the obvious flows of money & influence?

In conjunction with @SlickRockWeb, now let’s take a look at #WalkAway from a different perspective. Who’s the man behind the curtain, and who’s backing him? His name is Brandon Straka, know here as @UsMinority. Let’s get to know him a bit. #infosec #osint #psyops
Before #WalkAway took off (with surprising rapidity), Straka was a performance artist and stylist in New York. His most recent work appears to have been this show, showing his evolution away from #TheResistance. Here’s a link to the GoFundMe gofundme.com/resist-a-rock-…
His first announcement of the #WalkAway campaign was on May 26th. However, shortly after the dates of his show, on a Facebook post dated 10/27/17, we see the following exchange after a post about @TheEllenShow, which appears to be the first public use of the “walk away” idea. 
So for the first time in quite a while a newcomer hashtag had top spot on the #Hamilton68 Dashboard -- #walkaway. We remembered seeing this hashtag in the past few weeks but didnt really know what it was or follow up on it. #infosec #opsec dashboard.securingdemocracy.org
The background story on this hashtag #walkaway is a little strange & the number of bots, trolls, & fake testimonial promoting this hashtag is even stranger. Here's an example of a completely fake tweet highlighted by @daveweigel #opsec #infosec
We decided to look retrospectively at our own reverse engineered #Hamilton68 data. This is a wordcloud of 22893 tweets from our main Hamilton68 troll subset going from June 24th until now & #walkaway takes the #1 spot. #infosec #opsec
Even if it's not connected, putting all of this on accessible computers whether at Cambridge Analytica or various #botnets was *beyond* foolish.
Signed confessions, video documentation, emails discussing in graphic detail *pale* compared to what they have.

It's one thing to have mountains of hard evidence re: crimes.
But the computers can literally detail every minute detail & action the felonies, & literally record the whole thing.
It's like preserving not just a recording of the crime, but the whole crime itself, in amber.

It's not just Cambridge Analytica's servers or whatever they were using for a supercomputer. #Botnets consist of thousands or even millions of computers, & you don't *own* them.
You're taking them over.
You don't own the servers you're networking over.

Bannon played WOW, no wonder... I'm sure he got the #PoolsClosed on #habbohotel back in 06'. #CyberWarfare wired.com/2016/09/trumps…
#4Chan grew in notoriety after members plotted 'RAIDS' of a virtual internet chat game called #habbohotel where trolling became way of life.
Nazi symbology in a kid's game inevitably lead the developers to 'close the pool' in an effort to stop online trolls from creating a culture of hate online. I'd be interested to know if Bannon was apart of these raids. @FBIWFO @CIA @Cyber @dhsscitech
