After 15 years in the Intel game, sporty here can't get a security clearance? Weisburd's claim to fame was destroying American web properties post 9/11 using illegal hack and threats as the tools of choice.
People with no security clearances are training CIA/FBI/DNI spies, analysts, etc, etc how to do their job. Can someone explain to me how that can possibly work? It makes as much sense as a video game hero trying to tell Seal Team 6 how to operate.
How does someone who doesn't have a clearance teach someone whose job depends on his clearance how to operate? The reason Intel started getting outsourced in the first place is that the CIA wasn't going to compromise itself with a vulnerability it didn't understand (possibly spam emails) at the time. The FBI had absolutely no interest in spying on the American people and refused to do this.
Through the beneficent and deliberate patriotic actions of then Terrorism Czar Richard Clarke, the United States government OUTSOURCED terror Intel to a gift shop cashier who along with her partner took up the slack. It is no exaggeration. One day before she became a world-renowned terrorism Intel expert, she was still working her job at the gift shop. Her reports made it unfiltered into the POTUS Daily Briefing (PDB). She hated Iraqis for what they did to her family and wanted to escalate the war.
She was actually the smart one of the bunch. Her partner made headlines in recent years for reasons that show the level of acuity one can expect from people guiding national policies, foreign policy, Intelligence, the Department of Defense, the War on Terror, and the FBI. Both of these people had companies and clients that were pushing the "War on Terror."
According to a 2015 Guardian article David Cameron called Terrorism expert Steven Emerson and idiot because he claimed on Fox News that non-Muslims do not go to Birmingham, which he said had become a "totally Muslim" city.
When you go through their pronouncements, they were timed and primed to get the most impact and contract work in that time frame.
If Weisburd or his partner Clint Watts sound familiar it's because it is their work testifying in front of Congress in the spring of 2017 on Russian influence on the 2016 election and in social media that is pushing policy.
Without a security clearance Weisburd, Watts, and company and company have created the narrative every other player is following and passing into media. - Putin did it! All of it! Doesn't matter what it actually is, Putin did it anyway!
Weisburd and Watts created a lot of the groundwork on which every other Russia attacking Ukraine, Russian hacking, Russian influence meme exists on. Their idea of attacking Russian influence has been to take out American, Canadian, and European English language websites owned by citizens of those countries.
Here's how the parts tie together.
The special thing about these three experts is that they are the "small players" that developed the ->Hamilton 68 (Ruskie finding) Dashboard for->the German Marshall Fund of the USA that is part of->The Alliance for Securing Democracy->that Michael Chertoff advises.
"From Politico- The dashboard is the product of a research collaboration that includes me, Clint Watts, Aaron Weisburd, Jonathon Morgan and the German Marshall Fund."
So now we have Michael Chertoff advising and supporting the work of Aaron Weisburd, Clint Watts, JM Berger, and possibly Weisburd partner Joel Harding.
How Good is Their Collective Intelligence Mojo?
