A former FBI special agent is currently out on $100,000 bond after being arrested for attempting to expose what he described as a covert Russian intelligence campaign to gain influence over leading American tech figures—namely Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. The agent, a decorated counterintelligence officer with nearly two decades of service, specialized in Russian espionage operations and had previously been commended for his work uncovering sleeper cells and disinformation networks operating inside the U.S.
I wouldn’t be shocked if it were true, but this article looks completely made up.
The FBI agent isn’t named. Despite claiming there are “legal filings” no court is named. There are no links or citing sources. There are no specific allegations including dates, specific actions taken by Russia intelligence or by Musk/Thiel in response.
It looks honestly like the article itself is part of typical Russian misinformation meant to pull the left further away from the right, and reduce credibility and factual signal by adding tempting noise.
His Name is Jonathan Buma

It’s way more likely that youre part of russian propaganda than the ZDF documentary being part of it.
The dude could still be a fake, as honest as ZDF is. It’s just a report on the guy saying things, after all.
This website looks shady as hell.
it is

yep.
Fwiw, the article is fine, it doesn’t offer anything untrue. And the site isn’t “shady”, it’s just one of many new websites that profit from heightened attention on Ukraine. This is also reported here and there’s of course the documentary which I already downloaded for later consumption.
I admit it’s a bit thin, but ultimately all articles about the GRU’s activities are going to be. Russia is closed for any flow of objective information.
Yet we need to talk about it and spread out and combine what we have.
And what we have paints a very likely and very damning scenario.
I always assumed that all the personal american citizen data that the doge people stole went on a disk and was shipped directly to russia. Occam’s razor and all that.
Don’t need a disk when you’ve got starlink
The “cloud” is just somebody else’s disk.
A dumbass pimp can get these fuckers tech giants doesn’t mean intelligent it’s usually the proletariats that are intelligent and I haven’t seen a bourgeoisie that was intelligent at one point.
