Imma gonna leave this Khashoggi archive thread right here too

https://web.archive.org/web/20201021180123/https://twitter.com/File411/status/1318975557917396994

And this twunroll thread right here too

https://twunroll.com/article/1318975557917396994#

I didn’t connect dots because I was pushing a narrative - I connected the dots because that’s where the facts landed me. At the time it was kind of obviously that Jared Kushner likely (unwittingly) brought Pegasus right into the inner sanctum of our White House - so chew on that fun nugget of awful

That would mean the breach of security and information goes muuuch further than we suspected?

Yes - I think that’s an astute assumption - I’m still trying to track down the Twitter archive where I tagged Kushner and said you petulant child MbS isn’t your BFF he’s acting as your handler

God, I remember these threads, especially the shared code. You broke it down so long ago and finally here it is.

Remember how u was like red lights blinking when NSO updated their corporate disclosures and the hypothesis that Pegasus was downloaded to Mr Khashoggi’s phone https://twunroll.com/article/1318975557917396994

Remember all the shit I took for saying Rod isn’t who you think he is - and The Whole QTech implicates Flynn too —it’s like Groundhog Day for me because I remember taking a shellacking for simply reading the UNHCR report & Court documents

Absolutely!!! I felt like you were always right, but a couple of dudes kept trying to reel us back to thinking Rod was #grinfucking Trump. I remember two people using that specific term. I remember googling it and thinking “well, I suppose that’s possible” but what about this and what about that? Lol... Fook them and the horse they rode in on. 🔥

Do you remember that convo at all? I’ve searched twitter for it but they must’ve deleted it.

I can’t find it but YES absolutely remember locking horns with two individuals who repeatedly stated Rod was a “white knight” and I was like oh FFS does a white knight conflate an administrator subpoena with a judicially authorized Search warrant —they had the wrong target because his office didn’t bother to check DOB and Full (Arabic) name —-and now they are the same ones who “act” like they knew all along <—insert eye roll & middle finger salute to their pedestrian mendacity

Had followed you on twitter in, I think, every presence you had there. But am not sure. Only became an active twitter user in 2015/2016, though had opened my account in 2009. I really missed you, when you were banned the last time.

Wow. Just wow.

You are continually ahead of the game. I honestly don't know why anyone bothers to argue with you. That is futile and I am amazed that people even bother because they always end up eating their hat.

"The insidious nature of Pegasus and exploits in Apple products is unnerving—not only can this spyware self unload but turning off crash reporting is a way for Pegasus to continue running and exfiltrating a targets data on their iPhone/iPad and they don’t even know they are being spied upon."

I mean I did scream repeatedly into the abyss about this and most laughed at my threads - me not so much because my amateur research I could see the storm brewing and I had the facts via documents to prove my concerns

I read the WaPo report, I don’t recall the threads you did (I apologize), but holy crap is this a cluster fuck of what?!? If you find those threads I’d love to read them because I still don’t quite know the Kushner and Kashoggi stuff beyond what was reported in the WaPo article (that Pegasus was likely used to penetrate the phones of two women close to Kashoggi). Well done as usually Spicy. 😘

I remember you popping up in December 2019 and I was genuinely concerned—I think we had a Twitter sidebar and I sort of recall thinking/tweeting you likely had Covid-19 but as you know testing wasn’t widely available. I came down with it in April 2020 but it wasn’t until Aug/Sept did they run an antibody test. I am so sorry to hear you had such a tough go of it - glad you’re on the mend. The Covid long haul side effects are the worst, the heads aches. Sending you a virtual hug…
