BRAND NEW INDICTMENT AGAINST RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE AT EDVA SHOWS KINETIC OPERATIONS ON U.S. SOIL TARGETING AMERICAN ELECTIONS

Let's break it down, shall we? https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/russian-project-lakhta-member-charged-wire-fraud-conspiracy

Meet Artem Lifshits, agent of Russian intelligence responsible for cyber crimes *and* attacking democracy for Putin.

Bottom Line: The IRA are not "trolls," but criminals and intelligence operatives for Putin. *The media misled the American people calling this "meddling."*

1. This is a criminal complaint - and it's *not* for espionage. These are individuals who have committed CRIMES and thus the standard rules for spycraft - generally not prosecuted - don't apply.

2. Reminder: The Secret Service investigates cybercrime with the FBI and others.

Before I go any further, THIS IS WHAT TRAITORS LIKE ROBERT O'BRIEN, CHAD WOLF, KEN CUCCINELLI, FAUX/DNI RATCLIFFE and above all DONALD TRUMP WERE COVERING UP - RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE ATTACKS ON OUR DEMOCRACY.

*ahem* moving on. https://twitter.com/ericgarland/status/1303775954859438092

3. Note "continuing efforts to influence" U.S. politics.

As the USIC has since late 2016, Russia would never stop, because it works. They didn't stop. And the GOP never stopped covering for Russia's attacks.

4. Note "members" - plural. So more indictments, perhaps MANY more, are likely on the way. We tracked these assholes down to their middle name. We know *who* sat behind these computers.

5. Focusing on events since 2017 = this is about elections other than 2016.

6. Crypto!

7. Note, these are crimes. Yes, the activities are part of the Gen. Gerasimov doctrine of full-spectrum hybrid warfare. They are conducted by thugs and Mobsters, likely under the planning of the Russian military, but since they're CRIMES, they can be...prosecuted. Man by man.

8. Bitcoin is magic. As @Dry_Observer says, "Sweet Cryptocurrency, is there anything you can't do? It's the worst way to handle nefarious transactions, and criminals use it EVERYWHERE! "

Note its starring role in this and many other indictments.

9. Bitcoin: if you'd like to use it, better be very comfortable with Treasury FinCEN Death Robot of Death watching everything you do.

Or, just be a moron - that'll be even more fun!

10. I swear, Putin's handlers eat lead paint chips or something.

11. "Although Bitcoin affords a significant degree of anonymity..."

BWAAAHAHAHAAA well, it's in an indictment, right? Do the math.

12. These cretins could be getting indicted by many, many fine countries.

13. HERE'S KEY POINT: Every "tech journalism" or "moderate, c'mon let's be reasonable" hot-take in US media that called the Internet Research Agency "trolls" or "young people" or "barely competent" obscured ON THE GROUND INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS IN THE US.

Covering for Putin.

Let me elaborate: a variety of New York Times Magazine and other pieces tried downplaying what this was, with their ignorant authors further complaining that identifying Russian intelligence was "fear mongering."

Those people pushed Putin's talking points and damaged America.

This was not a few kids dropping in randomly to comment on a boy band.

These operations involved massive funding and *boots hitting the ground in America to essentially set up a form of signals intelligence gear for Russian attacks.*

So those media outlets should apologize.

14. Have you noticed to roll-out of the REAL-ID system in America? Yeah, this is what we're trying to avoid. Terrorism and espionage on U.S. soil.

Russia stole U.S. identities for its intelligence operations. We need to tighten up security - on a LOT.

15. Russian intelligence is particularly focused on using US social media to leverage RACIAL DIVISION and INCITE CIVIL UNREST.

Again, this is not "trolling" - these are PsyOps hoping to get people to grab their AR-15s and shoot other Americans.

WHICH THEY DO. THUS, THIS IS WAR.

16. Are you using a computer to attack the United States? You're probably too stupid to be doing so. Because you're caught.

17. As the USIC told us, the Russians would never stop. And they've never stopped. Guns. The NFL. The Vegas Massacre.

Russia is still engaged in PsyOp hot war - with the GOP *covering its operations.*

18. As I've told you as far back as my Dec 2016 "Game Theory" thread, the Russians play left and right. As long as they get chaos, hatred, and hopefully violence in the United States. And they have a literal handbook.

19. It's handled like an organized intelligence operation. Because, well, it is.

20. Yes, Russia will support progressive candidates, too.

They're neither left, nor right. They're our enemies, and they'll cause the most chaos, however possible.

21. Russian intel writes its preferred, tested language to unify the "Right" in America...

...and Russia got a "progressive" organizer to LET RUSSIAN INTEL MANAGE A FACEBOOK EVENT PAGE in order to get control of advertising a kinetic (protests with real people) event in Washington DC.

22. Russia then buys the fake identity of real Americans to conduct their operations with a plausible cover.

23. In case it needs pointing out, Russia's OPSEC sucks.

Peekaboo, you idiots. We have your IP addresses!

I only made fun of your trolls about this 8,102,000 times. Hi!

24. Just like all finance probably traipses through SDNY - where criminals go to get indicted into oblivion - chances are your cybercrime operations pass through a very nasty U.S. Attorney's Office district.

You were warned, Vlad!

CONCLUSION: This is what the GOP is covering up - Russian intelligence stoking violence on U.S. soil, stealing the identity of U.S. citizens, and attacking U.S. democracy.
