A fake ‘intelligence firm’ crafted the groundwork for the Trump conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden.
It’s unclear why President Donald Trump and his allies have chosen to attack Vice President Joe Biden’s last living son as a key tenant to the 2020 reelection instead of focusing on his opponent himself.
But according to a well-researched NBC News report by Ben Collins and Brandy Zadrozny, the “documents,” actually came from a
fake person that never existed using a profile photo created by an artificial intelligence face generator.
Months ago, there was a fake “intelligence” document about Hunter Biden that popped up online along with tons of “files” from a supposed laptop.
None of it was real and it has all been dismissed by Trump’s own associates as fake. But now it’s being revealed that the company behind the effort was a fake “intelligence firm” called Typhoon Investigations, researchers and public documents revealed.
“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 told NBC News that no one by that name had ever worked for their company, and no one by that name lives in Switzerland, according to public records and social media searches.”
One of the people who first posted the document was a blogger named Christopher Balding, who revealed that he wrote parts of the document and admitted that Aspen doesn’t 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,” reported NBC.
Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon have been coordinating on an ongoing effort to tie Biden to his son’s international lobbying and consulting firm with some sort of allegation of ethics violations.
While none of the reports have turned out to be true, it ultimately got Trump impeached because he tried to bribe the president of Ukraine into endorsing the fake scandal.
“The fake intelligence document,” NBC said, “preceded the leak by months and helped lay the groundwork among right-wing media for what would become a failed October surprise: a viral pile-on of conspiracy theories about Hunter Biden.”

Glenn Greenwald resigns from The Intercept over Biden article.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald said Thursday he had resigned from The Intercept after the US investigative media outlet refused to publish his article critical of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
Greenwald, one of the first journalists to report on the Edward Snowden documents on US mass surveillance, said he was leaving the website he started in 2014 with two other journalists.
“The final, precipitating cause is that The Intercept’s editors, in violation of my contractual right of editorial freedom, censored an article I wrote this week, refusing to publish it unless I remove all sections critical of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden,” Greenwald said in a blog post.
Greenwald’s article accuses news outlets of pro-Biden bias in their standoffish coverage of corruption allegations against the former vice-president’s son in a recent New York Post story.
The Post accused Hunter Biden of monetizing access to his father in improper business dealings in Ukraine.
Twitter restricted the article’s spread amid questions over the “origins of the materials” on which it relied, including emails apparently sourced from a laptop left by Hunter Biden at a Delaware repair shop last year.
Facebook also restricted users ability on link to the article, saying — along with several US news outlets — that there were questions over its veracity.
Greenwald, 53, left The Guardian in 2013 to set up The Intercept with the founder of eBay, Pierre Omidyar.
He accused it of the “same trends of repression, censorship and ideological homogeneity plaguing the national press.”
But The Intercept hit back at Greenwald, dismissing him as “a grown person throwing a tantrum,” and said it was he who had allowed his standards to drop.
“While he accuses us of political bias, it was he who was attempting to recycle the dubious claims of a political campaign — the Trump campaign — and launder them as journalism,” the website said in a statement.
Greenwald, who lives in Brazil, shared the Pulitzer in 2014 for his reporting on leaks by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden about mass electronic surveillance programs. |

| Forensic Expert Concludes NY Post 'Smoking Gun' Email Is 100 Percent Authentic
By Jennifer Van Laar | Oct 30, 2020 1:00 AM ET
Late Thursday the Daily Caller News Foundation announced that a forensic expert they’d retained to examine the “smoking gun” email Hunter Biden received in April 2015 from a Burisma executive (which was reportedly on a laptop the young Biden abandoned at a repair shop) and which was first reported on by the New York Post deemed the email is “unquestionably authentic.”
The DCNF obtained a full copy of Hunter Biden’s alleged laptop from former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday. The DCNF provided Robert Graham, the founder of the cybersecurity firm Errata Security, with a copy of the email and its metadata for forensic analysis.
Graham, who has been cited as a cybersecurity expert in The Washington Post, the Associated Press, Wired, Engadget and other news and technology outlets, told the DCNF that he used a cryptographic signature found in the email’s metadata to validate that Vadym Pozharsky, an advisor to Burisma’s board of directors, emailed Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015.
Pozharsky thanked Hunter Biden for inviting him to DC and giving him an opportunity to meet Hunter’s father, and to spend time together. The email decimates Joe Biden’s claims that he knew nothing about Hunter’s business activities with Burisma. When it was published by the New York Post, legacy media pundits parroted Rep. Adam Schiff’s claim that it was “Russian disinformation” and that the authenticity of the laptop hadn’t been established, even though the Biden camp never disputed the laptop’s authenticity.
When challenged earlier this week over their failure to report on the emails or the laptop, legacy media members claimed they needed to have the actual hard drive to be able to examine its contents before they could even report on what was purportedly contained on it. Now, they have a nonpartisan expert who has explained his methodology.
Graham previously told the DCNF that emails sent from Gmail, such as Pozharski’s message to Hunter Biden, can be “absolutely verified beyond a shadow of a doubt” by testing its contents against the unique DKIM signature found in its metadata.
Graham used the DKIM signature within the email to verify with a private key on Google’s servers that the sender, recipient, subject, date and body of the message that the DCNF obtained from Giuliani were unchanged from when the email was originally sent in April 2015.
But can that be faked? Graham says nope:
Graham said the only way the email could have been faked is if someone hacked into Google’s servers, found the private key and used it to reverse engineer the email’s DKIM signature.
The Daily Caller had asked Giuliani for a copy of the hard drive in mid-October, the article claims, and Giuliani refused. The outlet also asked the Biden campaign for comment, but their inquiry was not responded to. |
