Disrupting Democracy

Good Article here from the Israeli news service Haaretz. 

The Israelis Destabilizing Democracy and Disrupting Elections Worldwide

Meddling around the World.

Jorge claimed that he and his staff had meddled in “33 presidential-level election campaigns” around the world, “in 27 of them successfully.” Even if he was exaggerating, this investigation shows that he tried to intervene in a number of elections in various countries over the past decade (a separate article, which is also being published today, is devoted to the tools he used to achieve his goals).

Possibly in the US for Trump. (but "Russia, Russia, Russia")

.. he worked together with the notorious U.K. consulting firm Cambridge Analytica.

New emails in the hands of the consortium of journalists identify the hackers as Team Jorge and link the team to job offers in other countries – including an offer to take part in Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

In the US.

In California, it emerged, the army of avatars had attacked Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom when he considered not renewing the operating license of a nuclear plant amid safety issue concerns. The governor finally gave the go-ahead in September 2022 and Jorge’s avatars backed off.

Worked with Cambridge Analytica, wanted in on the Trump operation

The investigation of the consortium of journalists revealed that the Israeli team worked with the UK-based data firm Cambridge Analytica, which according to its [CA] records used "Israeli hackers" that were later identified as Team Jorge.

Emails leaked to The Guardian by the journalists revealed that Hanan sent an offer to Cambridge Analytica for a cyber-espionage operation targeting a Latin American country in 2015, and another to take part in Donald Trump's campaign for the 2016 US Presidential elections, however, there is no concrete evidence that a deal was reached between the two parties.

Read through all these and then tell you still believe it was the Russians who interfered in 2016 on behalf of Trump.
