South African technology journalist and software developer Paul Furber has denied that he is behind the mass global political movement QAnon.
Furber’s denial comes after the New York Times reported that two teams of forensic linguists concluded that he is behind early messages from QAnon’s kingpin, Q......
NYT: The studies provide the first empirical evidence of who invented the toxic QAnon myth, and the scientists who conducted the studies said they hoped that unmasking the creators might weaken its hold over QAnon followers.
Furber: What studies? Where are they published? Can anyone get the data and reproduce the result for themselves? If not, then these people are not practicing science. I’ve done my own forensic linguistics analysis which shows that I didn’t write the Q drops. I’ll be making my data and results available for anyone who wants to check. None of this explains quite how I personally managed to predict the Saudi upheaval, to take original photos from Air Force One, to put out a hit on Lynn de Rothschild, to know the internal workings of the Vatican, to know in advance what the President would be tweeting and to string 4chan /pol/ along for six hundred threads all while having a full time job on the other side of the world.
NYT: Instead of relying on expert opinion, the computer scientists used a mathematical approach known as stylometry. Practitioners say they have replaced the art of the older studies with a new form of science, yielding results that are measurable, consistent and replicable. Sophisticated software broke down the Q texts into patterns of three-character sequences and tracked the recurrence of each possible combination. Their technique does not highlight memorable, idiosyncratic word choices the way that earlier forensic linguists often did. But the advocates of stylometry note that they can quantify their software’s error rate. The Swiss team said its accuracy rate was about 93 percent. The French team said its software correctly identified Mr. Watkins’s writing in 99 percent of tests and Mr. Furber’s in 98 percent.
Furber: Very impressive. Let’s see the data. Give it all to me so I can fire up R and stylo and check for myself. Otherwise, what do they have to hide? Did they take any of the 300+ available articles from Brainstorm online for a completely neutral analysis or did they cherry pick long Twitter threads where I interpret Q drops? Did they feed in my entire book about Q and leave in all of Q’s posts? What a crock of sh*t.....
The National Endowment For Democracy Can Claim It Is In The Business Of Democracy Promotion.
In Reality, It Does Anything But That, Unless “Democracy” Is Entirely Synonymous With Elite U.S. Interests.
Kiev, Ukraine – Amid soaring tensions with Russia, the United States is spending a fortune on foreign interference campaigns in Ukraine. Washington’s regime-change arm, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), has spent $22.4 million on operations inside the country since 2014, when democratically-elected President Viktor Yanukovych was overthrown and replaced by a successor government handpicked by the U.S. Those operations included propping up and training pro-Western political parties, funding pliant media organizations, and subsidizing massive privatization drives that benefit foreign multinational corporations, all in an effort to secure U.S. control over the country that NED President Carl Gershman called “the biggest prize” in Europe.
Demwashing The CIA
The National Endowment for Democracy was set up in 1983 by the Reagan administration after a series of public scandals had seriously undermined both the credibility and the public image of the CIA. That the organization was established and continues to function as a cutout group doing much of the agency’s dirtiest work is not in question. “It would be terrible for democratic groups around the world to be seen as subsidized by the CIA,” Gershman himself said, explaining its creation. “A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA,” NED cofounder Allen Weinstein told The Washington Post in 1991...........

He's partially right, but the bigger issue is there NEEDS to be an enemy, a boogie man, an evil monster, a threat of death for the Controllers to work 1000's year plans of endless Divide and Conquer (he knows this BTW).
And it seems a lifetime ago we were told that the Cold War wanted it's foreign policy back. That is the stickler for me. All that changed just in time for Hilary to lose an election! So what were our intelligence agencies doing??? Now Russia is back to Cold War level of being a threat? Either all part of a long-running psy-op or a blaring indication of our "intelligence" agencies ineptitude over the last decade. Considering the short attentions spans of the public and propaganda from the media, its pathetic.

WHAT HAPPENS IF BIDEN BECAME POTUS KNOWING HE [THROUGH HUNTER + 1] TOOK MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF BRIBES TO CHANGE [LOOK THE OTHER WAY] US POLICY TOWARDS UKRAINE [IN FAVOR OF UKRAINE]?
WOULD UKRAINE OWN AND CONTROL THE WHITE HOUSE?
Q
Ukrainian volunteer soldiers have been broadcast on German television wearing helmets with Nazi symbols.
The soldiers, reportedly from the Azov battalion, were shown on German public broadcaster ZDF wearing uniforms decorated with Nazi motifs, including swastikas and lightning bolt-like runic symbols of the SS, a World War II Nazi paramilitary organisation.
The footage was captured by a camera team from Norway's TV2. Oystein Bogen, a foreign affairs correspondent at TV2 told NBC: "We were filming a report about Ukraine's Azov battalion in the eastern city of Urzuf when we came across these soldiers."
A spokesperson for the Azov battalion denied that the force has any fascist tendencies. "We are just Ukrainian nationalists," he said.......
Ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine have also cited Kiev's alleged Nazism as a reason to fight to break away from Ukraine.
I was one of those people saying the Cold War wanted it's paranoia back. I still am.

Thanks, I see that now in the artwork.
Thanks to everyone else too. The best thing about IRL side stories is they generate more side stories and connections.
Watch out for four bladed helicopters, ventilation fans, food processors etc.
