Thanks Layla, you posted this and now my VJ Google ads feature John Solomon on Real America's Voice. Should I click on the link to find out which Ukrainian former government official now living in Serbia has the latest thumb drive with Hunter Biden offering to import drugs?

If VJ were to outright ban links to sites that scored "mixed" to "very low," we'd all be better off for it.

Not just right wing, but it's just a blog that pushes debunked conspiracy theories and groundless propaganda. And since @laylalex pointed out the site is marked unsafe, I'm wondering if it's also a malware distributor. Lot of people who aren't tech savvy read these sites, so it would make sense.

So this is kind of interesting, and I missed it at the time, because I was more focused on important things, like COVID and what was going on with election security.

One month before a purported leak of files from Hunter Biden's laptop, a fake "intelligence" document about him went viral on the right-wing internet, asserting an elaborate conspiracy theory involving former Vice President Joe Biden's son and business in China.

 

The document, a 64-page composition that was later disseminated by close associates of President Donald Trump, appears to be the work of a fake "intelligence firm" called Typhoon Investigations, according to researchers and public documents.

 

The author of the document, a self-identified Swiss security analyst named Martin Aspen, is a fabricated identity, according to analysis by disinformation researchers, who also concluded that Aspen's profile picture was created with an artificial intelligence face generator. The intelligence firm that Aspen lists as his previous employer said that no one by that name had ever worked for the company and that no one by that name lives in Switzerland, according to public records and social media searches.

 

One of the original posters of the document, a blogger and professor named Christopher Balding, took credit for writing parts of it when asked about it and said Aspen does not exist.

 

Despite the document's questionable authorship and anonymous sourcing, its claims that Hunter Biden has a problematic connection to the Communist Party of China have been used by people who oppose the Chinese government, as well as by far-right influencers, to baselessly accuse candidate Joe Biden of being beholden to the Chinese government.
