Keep at it, Ken, you are doing what outlets loaded with money will not do, likely BECAUSE they are loaded with money and want to protect it along with having people in important positions who are terrified of irritating power. For me, commercial news sources are not to be trusted.

I'm glad I subscribed here and hope others will too.

The next level of analysis is: can you ascertain anything about the forgers from the specific techniques they use?

“Critical reading” is necessary... even more so than “critical thinking”.

Excellent piece.

Ken, is it your experience that when shit like this is exposed, it gives the government cover to hand wave away truthful documents that put them in a bad light?

Our sense is that this was not state-sponsored, but hard to say.

How was this forgery supposed to make Biden look bad? Because the timing seems to be dictated by when he would be flying in case there was Iranian cyberattack response at the time?
