RUSSIA’S BOT FARM OPERATES ON X, US AND ITS ALLIES WARN

Posted on by

In full disclosure, years ago I did a radio interview with Pierluigi…due to his long validated resume….I continue to trust his work…as a result this is fair warning to validate information at with at least 3 unique sources.

(Officially shut down –> you be the judge)

Russia has officially made one dystopian prediction about artificial intelligence (AI) come true: it used AI to lie better, faster, and more believably. Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice, along with counterparts in Canada and the Netherlands, disrupted a Russian bot farm that was spreading pro-Russian propaganda. The FBI director and deputy attorney general in a press release highlighted the use of AI to create the bot farm as a disturbing new development. What they did not say, however, is that the West is unprepared to defend itself against this new threat.

This capability enables quick reactions on a huge scale to highly divisive world events. For example, the Russian operation could choose to spread divisive messages about the assassination attempt on former president Trump. In the past, this would have been a labor-intensive task of crafting a variety of credible messages designed to outrage both ends of the political spectrum, then iterating until a divisive note hit a nerve. Now, AI can craft the message, alter it for different audiences, and distribute it rapidly. Russia could enter the chat almost immediately.

The US and its allies disrupted an AI-powered Russia-linked bot farm on the social media platform X relying on the Meliorator AI software.

The U.S. FBI and Cyber National Mission Force, along with Dutch and Canadian intelligence and security agencies, warned social media companies about Russian state-sponsored actors using covert AI software, Meliorator, in disinformation campaigns. Affiliates of Russia’s media organization RT used Meliorator to create fake online personas to spread disinformation on X. The campaigns targeted various countries, including the U.S., Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Ukraine, and Israel.

“Although the tool was only identified on X, the authoring organizations’ analysis of Meliorator indicated the developers intended to expand its functionality to other social media platforms.” reads the report. “The authoring organizations’ analysis also indicated the tool is capable of the following:

  • Creating authentic appearing social media personas en masse;
  • Deploying content similar to typical social media users;
  • Mirroring disinformation of other bot personas;
  • Perpetuating the use of pre-existing false narratives to amplify malign foreign influence; and
  • Formulating messages, to include the topic and framing, based on the specific archetype of the bot.”

As early as 2022, RT had access to the AI-powered bot farm generation and management software Meliorator. By June 2024, it was operational only on X (formerly Twitter), with plans to expand to other platforms. The software includes an admin panel called “Brigadir” and a seeding tool named “Taras,” and is accessed via a virtual network computing (VNC) connection. Developers managed Meliorator using Redmine software, hosted at dtxt.mlrtr[.]com.

The identities (also called “souls”) of these bots are determined by selecting specific parameters or archetypes. The experts said that any unselected fields are auto-generated. Bot archetypes group ideologically aligned bots through an algorithm that constructs each bot’s persona, including location, political ideologies, and biographical data. Taras creates these identities and the AI software registers them on social media platforms. The identities are stored in a MongoDB, enabling ad hoc queries, indexing, load-balancing, aggregation, and server-side JavaScript execution.

Meliorator manages automated scenarios or actions for a soul or group of souls through the “thoughts” tab. The software can instruct personas to like, share, repost, and comment on others’ posts, including videos or links. It also allows for maintenance tasks, creating new registrations, and logging into existing profiles.

“The creators of the Meliorator tool considered a number of barriers to detection and attempted to mitigate those barriers by coding within the tool the ability to obfuscate their IP, bypass dual factor authentication, and change the user agent string.” continues the joint advisory. “Operators avoid detection by using a backend code designed to auto-assign a proxy IP address to the AI generated persona based on their assumed location.”

The report also provides the infrastructure associated with the bot farm and mitigations.

 

Will the Biden Family Split $200 Million?

Posted on by

As a result of the devastating debate performance of Joe Biden, calls are being made by donors, some Democrat lawmakers and especially donors for Joe to drop out of the race….but c’mon Conservatives…we need him to stay on the ticket and in the race…why you ask? He is the easiest to beat now and there is the matter of $200 million…but I will get to that shortly…so follow along.

Kevin Morris has been Hunter’s sugar-daddy for quite some time as he has paid IRS debts for Hunter along with legal bills. He has even shown up in public and in hearings with Hunter and his lawyer Abbe Lowell. But allegedly, Kevin has stopped the gravy train. It is also a fact that Joe Biden took out a loan by re-financing their Delaware home (35 times per Yahoo News) . So, it is apparent the family needs some money now and certainly in the future.

Just consider that Jill and Hunter and the rest of the world for that matter including White House staffers and the media that Joe has no physical or mental stamina for the job now or for four more years…but the plots begins here…

U.S. President Joe Biden is accompanied by his son, Hunter Biden, and ...

Hunter was with the whole family at Camp David over the weekend plotting and finding blame for his awful job at the debate…furthermore, Hunter is at the White House on a full time basis leading the charge…but what charge? I say…he is so good at creating shell companies that he likely has created several more recently and they are on paper only providing services to the re-election campaign but in reality they are paying themselves through the shell companies from the $200 million in the campaign war chest.

You see, campaign finance law says that money CANNOT be transferred to another candidate…but only to Kamala if she stays on the ticket and only if Kamala becomes the nominee. That is a bug but as no one is calling for her to step up and replace Joe….so that $200 million stays with Joe…and this family could be purposely throwing his re-election for the sake of the money. Sure it is now said that Jill and Hunter are running the operation and in some cases even the White House…but running the presidency or the scheme is the question.

The whole family needs money and lots of it…and could need even more based on continuing investigations by the House into the crime operations…

The Democrat Party is in a real mess and it could get worse when the donors completely bail out from now to the convention, after all it is quite expensive to pay for a convention in Chicago and outside money is required for that in addition to DNC money.

Do we really want the Biden crime family to ride into the sunset splitting $200 million or even $100 million after learning what he have so far about them and then living through hell for the last 3.5 years?

The legal issues for Hunter are not over yet by a long shot and for that matter neither is the investigation into the whole Biden crime family…now including with the Securities and Exchange Commission given the cunning tactics of secret shell companies already, it stands to reason to do it again. The big question here is what state would they register these companies and in what names and who would be the agent of record?

Maybe a deeper dive into that pesky laptop with offer some new things to search for and some new clues…maybe someone can reach out to the James Comer and given him a heads up on something new to look for. The media likely wont do it but given how angry they are perhaps some will….

But dear readers…you all are very good at research…jump in with comments and even trails following that money.

 

 

What the Deep State Really is, Shadow Operatives

Posted on by

Former President Trump has said often, it is not just me they are after, they are really after you and I am in the way. It is quite true, but add intrepid investigative journalists as well and it all began under the Obama administration.

Anyone remember when the Obama Department of Justice went after several Associated Press reporters? Or how about all the way to the Biden administration as noted here:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department said Saturday that it no longer will secretly obtain reporters’ records during leak investigations, a policy shift that abandons a practice decried by news organizations and press freedom groups.

The reversal follows a pledge last month by President Joe Biden, who said it was “simply, simply wrong” to seize journalists’ records and that he would not permit the Justice Department to continue the practice. Though Biden’s comments in an interview were not immediately accompanied by any change in policy, a pair of statements from the White House and Justice Department on Saturday signaled an official turnabout from an investigative tactic that has persisted for years.

Democratic and Republican administrations alike have used subpoenas and court orders to obtain journalists’ records in an effort to identify sources who have revealed classified information. But the practice had received renewed scrutiny over the past month as Justice Department officials alerted reporters at three news organizations — The Washington Post, CNN and The New York Times — that their phone records had been obtained in the final year of the Trump administration.

The latest revelation came Friday night when the Times reported the existence of a gag order that had barred the newspaper from revealing a secret court fight over efforts to obtain the email records of four reporters. That tussle had begun during the Trump administration but had persisted under the Biden Justice Department, which ultimately moved to withdraw the gag order.

Let’s go back to the days of Fast and Furious or Benghazi shall we? Just in the last week, former CBS investigative correspondent of 21 years Sharyl Attkisson gave an detailed update to her case against the Department of Justice and the FBI as initially explained in her book titled Stonewalled.

In full disclosure, I read that book back and the chill still runs through my veins. After listening to her most recent podcast explanation, the takeaway is how all of government is still being used to stonewall the case not only with her but now too Catherine Herridge, just recently fired from CBS for refusing to reveal her sources for a story. so much for a free press. So, please take the time to hear the Attkisson podcast to fully grasp the government dragnet and then understand how it all flows down to we the people…..including we the people.

Now consider just what these deep state ghost operatives have been plotting and planning going forward. Use your imagination as Miss Sharyl has provided the mission template and tactics.

We are now living in a Stasi environment an additional form of terror…the war on information and truth.

The Free Palestine Movement Never Mentions Mohammed Salameh

Posted on by

Has anyone asked Rashida Tlaib, the Palestinian congresswoman from Michigan about Mohammed Salameh and his prison sentence? Who is he and what did he do you ask…. well the first World Trade Center bombing was caused by massive explosives inside a van in the parking garage and Salameh…rented that van. He was later arrested after he reported the van stolen and wanted his cash deposit of $400.00 refunded….ah HAH!

He entered the United States on a six-month tourist visa in 1988 but then overstayed. He was still in the country illegally in 1993 during the World Trade Center bombing. He applied for an immigration amnesty under a 1986 law that set up the Special Agricultural Worker program despite never having been eligible. However, he was still guaranteed work authorization.

World Trade Center Bombing 1993 — FBI

Salameh’s 1978 Chevy Nova was used to ferry the nitric acid and urea used to construct the bomb used in the past 1993 bombing.

Despite failing his driving test four times, Salameh had been the driver for the group. On January 24, 1993, he jumped a curb and tore the undercarriage from his car, injuring himself and Ramzi Yousef. He was checked out of Rahway Hospital the following day and went to the garage to clean his car while Yousef remained in the hospital for four more days.[3]

With his Nova in for repairs, Salameh got Nidal Ayyad to use his corporate account with Allied Signal to rent him a new car. However, he got in a car accident again on February 16 and collided with a car.

***Parole Board Votes to Release RFK Assassin Sirhan Sirhan

Then there is Sirhan Sirhan…remember him? He killed Robert Kennedy, at the time he was a presidential candidate. The Jordanian Palestinian was in fact paroled and George Gascon refused to oppose his release but Governonr Gavin Newsom eventually blocked the release of Sirhan in 2022 and he was again denied parole in 2023.  Sirhan was born in ‘mandatory Palestine’ of the West Bank and later became a citizen of Jordan. His family immigrated to te United States when he was 12 years old. He never became a U.S. citizen.

***

Now at issue is President Biden is considering issuing visas to Palestinians in Gaza that have family members in the United States. Discussions are in fact underway and include those who are legal permanent residents in the U.S. become U.S. citizens. It is notable that no country in the Middle East especially Jordan or Egypt want any Palestinians. Biden’s mission is to use a tool called DED, deferred enforced departure. Those Palestinians already i the United States that are under threat of deportation for various reasons have deferral under his executive order for at least 18 months.

One has to ask if those pro-Palestinians or in fact are Palestinians that have been arrested for the threats and protests on college campuses are protected under the Biden DED program.

8 ISIS-K Arrested in 3 Cities After Crossing the Southern Border

Posted on by

In part from USA Today, hardly tells the whole story about this case.

WASHINGTON ― U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in recent days arrested eight foreign nationals in the U.S. suspected to have ties with the terrorist group ISIS, a U.S. official familiar with the investigation confirmed.

The eight individuals were detained on immigration charges from New York, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. Each is from Tajikistan and entered the U.S. at the southern Mexico border, the official said. They remain in U.S. custody.

The official said no derogatory information was detected about the individuals during their initial screening at the border but the U.S. later learned information that tied them to ISIS. They don’t currently face any terrorism charges. More here. 

A deeper dive:

The FBI had been tracking these operatives for several weeks, long before the most recent fake Biden Executive Order on the southern border. Obviously the White House ignored not only the case and intelligence but continues to ignore the warnings put forward by FBI Director Christopher Wray in several congressional hearings.

@BillMelugin_
BREAKING: Per federal source familiar, ICE, in conjunction w/ the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, arrested 8 Tajikistan nationals w/ suspected ISIS ties in NYC, LA, and Philly in recent days. I’m told all 8 crossed the southern border illegally, received “full vetting”, and had no initial derogatory information that flagged. I’m told derogatory info/potential national security concerns flagged later on – apparently after release into the US. Source was unable to say when and where they crossed illegally into the US. All are now in ICE custody pending removal proceedings and an active federal investigation. This was initially scooped by

@JennieSTaer

& New York Post, who report at least one of the individuals was caught on a FBI wiretap talking about bombs. FBI/DHS joint statement to

@FoxNews

“Over the last few days, ICE agents arrested several non-citizens pursuant to immigration authorities. The actions were carried out in close coordination with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces. The individuals arrested are detained in ICE custody pending removal proceedings. As the FBI and DHS have recently described in public and partner bulletins, the U.S. has been in a heightened threat environment. The FBI and DHS will continue working around the clock with our partners to identify, investigate, and disrupt potential threats to national security. ”

In part from CBS:The official noted that it is very difficult for the U.S. to deport migrants to Tajikistan due to both operational and diplomatic reasons. In fiscal year 2023, ICE deported only 4 migrants to that Central Asian country, according to agency data.

The arrests were carried out in close coordination with the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security said in a statement, adding that the individuals who were arrested are in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.

“As the FBI and DHS have recently described in public and partner bulletins, the U.S. has been in a heightened threat environment,” the statement went on to say. “The FBI and DHS will continue working around the clock with our partners to identify, investigate, and disrupt potential threats to national security.”

*** Per UPI:

“Now increasingly concerning is the potential for a coordinated attack here in the homeland, akin to the ISIS-K attack we saw at the Russia Concert Hall,” Wray testified in April.

“As the FBI and DHS have recently described in public and partner bulletins, the United States has been in a heightened threat environment,” according to Tuesday’s statement on the arrests.

“The FBI and DHS will continue working around the clock with our partners to identify, investigate and disrupt potential threats to national security.”

According to the National Counterterrorism Center, IS-K is among the deadliest branches of ISIS, conducting attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan as well as in Iran, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan while seeking to conduct similar operations in the United States and Europe.

It was sanctioned by the United States as a foreign terrorist organization in 2016.
