A few days ago, New York Magazine published an article that attacked Patrick Lawrence's coverage of new information from an anonymous analyst known as Forensicator. Patrick Lawrence is a foreign correspondent at The Nation, the oldest weekly magazine published continuously in America. His article mentions Disobedient Media reports on an analysis published by Forensicator showing that files published by Guccifer 2.0 have been copied locally, not hacked, which has serious implications for the Russian Hacking narrative and for DNC.
The New York Magazine's coverage of this confusing issue is not accurate. They characterize the Forensicator because it has claimed that the DNC information must have been leaked by an insider. The New York Mag wrote: "Yesterday, The Nation published an article by journalist Patrick Lawrence who claimed to show that the important DNC hack of last summer was actually an insider's job."
However, the Forensicator work only states that Guccifer 2.0 files are copied locally, and that the information is not hacked. Forensicator work never tries to positively identify DNC leaks or Guccifer 2.0 identity. Forensicator analysis only shows in a methodical and precise way that is not possible; that is, the Russian hacker allegedly behind the Guccifer 2.0 persona.
The author of the sarcastic article, Brian Feldman, also invites Twitter to express his views on this subject:
In their coverage of this topic, The New York Mag ignored the voice of a group of well-respected intelligence officers known as VIPS, or Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, who published a memorandum sent to President Trump citing Forensicator. That the Foreniscator's findings was the starting point for a memorandum sent by experienced intelligence veterans such as Bill Binney, Ray McGovern and Skip Folden as well as many others, spoke of the importance of Forensicator work.
The New York Magazine denies these very interested people, rather than focusing on some individuals who have tweeted The Nation article, to somehow discredit the contents of articles with the association. Such dishonest framing devices do not discuss the content of the analysis in any way, and represent a small fraction of those who have reported on this important analysis. This intellectual dishonest continued when Lawrence's work was called "a cranky product that was very long-winded."
The sarcasm dripping from all sections by New York Magazine seems to be intended as an attack on the author's reputation, Patrick Lawrence, and the publication, The Nation. Mr Feldman spent little time making a coherent critique of the content of articles and sources cited.
Interestingly, the New York Magazine article not only fails substantively against the Forensicator or VIPS conclusion, but also does not provide substantive evidence that DNC is hacked. This section also neglects to mention that the authorities have never analyzed the DNC server, rather than relying on the word of the private company Crowdstrike.
Disobedient Media previously reported Adam Carter's analysis, stating that Guccifer 2.0 persona may have been performed by Crowdstrike along with DNC to pre-emptively obfuscate DNC information published by Wikileaks. Crowdstrike has an important connection to the Atlantic Council, a think tank sponsored in part by the controversial investor George Soros.
Adam Carter also publishes a response to a New York Mag article today, which investigates the line-by-line erroneous in the article. Carter writes: "Feldman misrepresented the purpose of the article, VIPS interest and the purpose of the researchers / analysts that all this is related."
Ray McGovern, co-founder of VIPS, has appeared in RT to talk about the implications of Forensicator analysis, in addition to appearances with LarouchePAC and others.
The News Consortium reports a memorandum published by VIPS, which corroborates some important aspects of Forensicator analysis, and cites their work. The documentary signers include William Binney, former NSA Technical Director for Geopolitical and Military Analysis of the World, Skip Folden, independent analyst, retired IBM Program Manager for US Information Technology Ray McGovern, former US Army / Intelligence officer and CIA analyst, which is shown in full below, through a report by the Consortium News.
