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.

Fake faces
Computer-generated faces have become a staple of large-scale disinformation operations in the run-up to the election. In December, Facebook took down a network of fake accounts using computer-created faces tied to The Epoch Times. Facebook removed over 600 accounts tied to the operation, which pushed pro-Trump messages and even served as moderators of some Facebook groups.
Last month, Facebook removed another batch of computer-generated profiles originating in China and the Philippines, some of which made anti-Trump posts.
Renee DiResta, a researcher at the Stanford Internet Observatory, said computer-created identities are becoming common for disinformation campaigns, in part because they are easy to create.

And the damning phone call audio?
If the laptop, photos, emails, and audios are authentic and the FBI had them for a year the FBI had plenty of time to concoct cover stories and spread disinformation.
The FBI is in a sense fact checking themselves.
Are they going to incriminate themselves for their failure to investigate?
Bkmk
Comey himself promoted the false rumor about a pee pee video and tried to blackmail Donald Trump with the threat of releasing the rumor.
Hitler only dreamed of having our mediots.
It was last week or so when a fellow, (ex pat) living in Vietnam decamped for other pastures. He relayed the whole story on how this report was generated. It was reported here in FR. The report was made by a friend of this fellow in Vietnam as a background on exposure regarding a certain company. The outcome is detailed in this Typhoon report without the benefit of all the emails we have now. It was made using open source materials. Fascinating the web that is weaved by the Bidens.
NBS is all wrong on this of course.
NBC sends out the new line of counterattack to their social media Trump-haters.
But the one does not necessarily have anything to do with the other. In fact the “fake persona” ones could have been released in order to discredit the actual damning information found on Hunter’s computer.
#20. NBC - Nothing But Communist Crap!
These NBC writers and their sources are very similar to KHB “disinformatzia” writers of the 1980s. See the House Select Committee on Intelligence hearings on “Soviet Covert Forgeries” and “Soviet Covert Operations”, as well as the US Information Agency report to Congress entitled “Soviet Active Measures in the Era of Glasnost”, March 1988.
I wonder if these NBC pricks are using “Soviet/Russian” created “disinformation” and friendly leftist US businesses (if they are legit), to discredit the Biden laptop contents. But what about the recorded phone calls, stupids?
I think details and materials from the hard drive are being masterfully released. I expect something huge sometime this weekend (maybe Friday to miss the weekend news dead space) will be released that proves beyond a shadow. Don’t give them more than a day or two before Election Day. Who knows, maybe Trump has turned the FBI, and they will release the findings of their investigations into the Bidens on Monday morning. Who knows, maybe we’re grasping at straws like they did during the impeachment and the Mueller investigation.
I wouldn’t believe the NBC story unless Dan Rather endorsed it. </sarc>
The Lying, Dying Fake News Liberal Media - NO Lie They Won’t Tell
The reported dossier on Hunter was so viral I never heard of it.
Has NBC tried to get an interview with Joe Biden or Hunter Biden or Mr. Bobulinski to investigate this matter? No, no no! This is all anyone needs to know to arrive at the conclusion that this article by NBC is pure fiction. NBC must believe that we Americans have stupid tattooed on our foreheads.
How much crow will NBC have to consume when this is over???
The NBC corp working for Biden to create a diversion with a story that tries to bypass the actual Hunter Biden laptop and what is on it, making a dubious “disinformation campaign” having nothing to do the Hunter Biden’s laptop, as NBC’s “heart of the story” about him.
They want the sheeples’ minds diverted to a nothing burger while they are told that nothing burger is the real story.
"That's right, Wilbur..."
"It all came out of my other end."
The article claims little has been revealed despite promises from Bannon and Rudy.
Can we quantify what has been actually revealed? I have a friend on Fakebook i have to refute who is promoting this garbage.
