What I didn't say when I published the January Propornot expose was I counted on inertia setting in with damaged website owners even as I wrote the first Propornot article. Inertia has taken the level of proof from having enough confidence to sue Mikey D. Weiss and all the nationalist bastards working to reinterpret and destroy the 1st amendment and civil rights turned it into- "The alleged scans that allegedly resemble easily spoofed screenshots allegedly done by the alleged American allegedly living in Donbass...." Yeah, after four months everyone is comfortable with that one.
Needless to say, this wasn't the only scan I did. I didn't mention that before though, did I? I did three other scans over the last 10 months using various vulnerability scanners set very light and the results were the same. The 3rd time is the charm and 2nd and 3rd were the scans in January. The problem with Michael Weiss denying Propornot is a part of InterpreterMag is it should never have shown up on any scan in the first place. Why them?
For Propornot to come out consistently in every scan as part of InterpreterMag is outrageous. The two-source rule of journalism states that two verifiable independent sources constitute a fact. This separates journalism from rumor-mill news. The three-source rule was developed by the Washington Post during its coverage of the contentious Watergate scandal. This verifies politically hot facts or scandalous information. How about four sources?
For this 4th scan of Propornot, I needed them to know someone was there. I used Vega. According to the InfoSec Institute, Vega is one of the top 5 web application security scanners in the world today. That means it's a favorite tool for hackers everywhere and you can have confidence it produces evidence quality results, just like Iron Wasp did. Guess what happened?
I set the scan a little louder and was caught red-handed. Propornot canceled my scan and that was that. Or was it? The great thing about a top-5 scanner is they are very efficient. If you look at the top left underneath the web address for Propornot, whose name do you see?
Between this scan and the January scan image, you can see three of the scans that were done. The results from all 4 scans completed are the same regarding InterpreterMag. The results from four scans show InterpreterMag in a relationship position BEFORE Propornot links to any websites listed on the webpage. This last scan was done AFTER the Atlantic Council should have tightened up the website security.
We have four separate verifiable sources stating the same obvious fact with 3 shown. Does anybody with a respectable pay grade at the Atlantic Council have any last words? This case is closed.
When the facts are tallied, I am still all for letting the courts decide because of the damage Propornot has done. And rest assured that is starting to happen. This clearly shows lawsuits against Propornot, the Atlantic Council, and the spies for hire are not only possible, but if you aren't willing to protect yourself now, there may not be anything left to get recourse against later.
Let The Lawsuits Begin
The first large lawsuit is by three of the Netherlands' larger newspapers against East StratCom for false accusations that they were spreading propaganda. The accusation published in East StratCom's Disinfo Review was challenged and East StratCom was forced to back down. But, it didn't back down far enough. On February 24th they changed terminology from calling the Dutch Media "disinformation outlets" to "outlet where the disinformation appeared."The response by the newspapers and Dutch politicians says it all.
The Mreast.dk website adds "For the Dutch media TPO, which was listed for editorial coverage of a Ukraine debate, a Dutch media expert said that East StratCom and their collaborators were "a propaganda club" with amateuristic working methods and added that "if you look at their database, There is no substructure [of facts]" .The chief editor of the second-largest newspaper in the Netherlands, General Dagblad, stated that "with East StratCom as a fake news-fighting, we did not need fake news at all" and that the best excuse for the group was that they had a "translation problem" in relative to the Dutch coverage.
Going further, a parliamentarian from the Socialist Party has demanded that the Dutch Interior Minister raise the matter and stop financing the unit, which in his opinion threatens the freedom of the press by listing coverage of a Ukraine-critical meeting as "fake news". Therefore, East StratCom has been forced to retreat and change the labeling of their propaganda listings. This move wasn't enough and the lawsuit is going forward on March 14th on the grounds that "In a free society it is up to court to judge the matter, not governments or a supreme government."
Here's the fun part. Where does East StratCom get its list of propagandists from? Go back to the top. The people at propornot, the Hamilton 68 Dashboard including former Homeland Security Czar Michael Chertoff, Aaron Weisburd, and Clint Watts, among others, are the lists providers will eventually be sued.
This lawsuit is the first of its kind that I know of. I'd love to say my previous articles were part of what's behind it because of the timing of the lawsuits. They were filed after I started publishing this series showing what was going on and filing lawsuits is the only way for news and commentary publications to protect themselves. I feel immense satisfaction because publications are suing the European Union for labeling them Russian-propaganda outlets. Many thanks to Petri Krohn for sharing the above article link.
