My Russian Admirers: The Intel Drop

Beware of alternative media websites because they can infect your computers and steal your personal data. People must remain vigilant in a Hybrid Warfare environment.

It looks like I have some Russian secret admirers…

Beware TheIntelDrop.org They will steal your data and even your work.

“written by INTEL-DROP” Policy Brief: Israel on the New Silk Road and its Implications for U.S. Critical Infrastructure - THE INTEL DROP

The Intel Drop stole that entire article from my May 3rd Substack and posted it on their site just 2 days later. If the Russians are going to steal work, at least change some of the wording so it’s not so obvious. I’m more offended by their laziness.

What we are seeing is how foreign adversaries take legitimate issues and even steals others work to amplify their disinformation campaigns. They set up fake alternative news sites that will infect your computers. I even received a warning from Microsoft about the risk to my data if I continued on the site.

The Intel Drop has accounts on both Telegram and VK.com, but not a YouTube channel. Telegram was launched in 2013 by Nikolai and Pavel Durov. They have a Twitter handle @the_inteldrop

VKontakte (VK) is a Russian online social media service based in Saint Petersburg and connected to the Kremlin. The initial founder was also the Telegram pioneer Pavel Durov and three Russian-Israeli investors Yitzchak Mirilashvili, his father Mikhael Mirilashvili's and Lev Leviev. In 2014, Durov then claimed Vladimir Putin's allies had taken over the company and suggested his firing was the result of his refusal to hand over personal details of users to the Russian Federal Security Service. In December 2021, Russian state-owned bank Gazprombank and insurance company Sogaz bought out 57.3% of VK shares.

People must be vigilant about their alternative news sources because their websites infect computers. This is an example of how Hybrid Warfare works.

Just another reason why I live in Texas and Constitutional Carry is vital to a free Republic. Governments everywhere will always be the biggest threat to a populace.

I will give only one person credit for their help with the policy brief and that would be Brendon O’Connell who I heavily feature on this Substack.
