| | + | Guccifer 2.0 was a [[2016 Hillary Clinton campaign]] [[false flag]] operation set up to discredit the [[DNC]] revelations at [[Wikileaks]]. Adam Carter writes, {{quotebox|"one particular group would have been particularly desperate precisely at that time, for the emergence of a narrative about Russian hackers to discredit proper leaks / justify claims that all leaks are 'probably doctored' and they will have very likely known [Warren] Flood too. That group is the Clinton Campaign.<br>As of June 12th, [2016] they were in a position where [[Julian Assange]] had just announced WikiLeaks' upcoming release of [[Hillary Clinton email scandal|Hillary's emails]], she was still under [[FBI]] investigation, and [[Trump]] was attacking Hillary for her use of a private server with his supporters frequently chanting "lock her up!" at rallies.<br>The campaign was in a desperate position and really needed something similar to a Russian hacker narrative and one where they would be fortunate to have a seemingly clumsy hacker that leaves lots of 'fingerprints' tainting files and bringing the reputation of leaks into question... Sure enough, 2-3 days later, Guccifer2.0 - the world's weirdest hacker - was spawned and started telling lies in an effort to attribute himself to the malware discoveries, etc."<ref>http://g-2.spac/#7</ref>}} |
