The “Russian hacking” NATO psyop 

has finally been solved.

To professional analysts, it has long been

 clear that the “Russiagate” saga – 

including the “Russian hacking” claims, 

the Trump-Russia collusion claims, 

as well as the “Skripal poisoning incident” 

and the more recent “Navalny poisoning 

incident” – has been a US and NATO 

psychological operationaimed at 

containing a resurgent Russia and a 

somewhat unpredictable US President.

Several aspects of the “Russian 

hacking” psychological operation had

already been uncovered by independent 

researchers like Stephen McIntyre, 

“Adam Carter” and “The Forensicator”. 

In early November, however, British 

researcher David J. Blake essentially 

solved the “Russian hacking” psyop, 

down to the operational level, as 

described in his new book “Loaded for 

Guccifer 2.0”.

Blake shows how the “Russian hacking” 

psyop was initiated by the US and NATO 

in 2014 in response to Russia’s reaction 

to the US regime change in Ukraine, 

when Russia retook control of the 

Crimean Peninsula and supported the 

de-facto secession of Russian-speaking 

eastern Ukraine.

The US/NATO psyop was inspired by the 

actual amateur hackers “CyberBerkut” in 

Ukraine and “Guccifer” in Romania. Blake 

shows how in 2014, NATO created a 

“Cyber Defence Trust Fund” and used this 

entity to initiate false-flag “hacking operations” 

against the US and other NATO members

that would then be falsely “attributed” to 

alleged Russian “state-sponsored 

hacking groups”.

Regarding the most prominent case, 

the alleged “hacking” of the US Democratic 

Party (DNC) and the 2016 Hillary Clinton 

presidential campaign, Blake shows 

how the emails and documents in 

question were in fact exfiltrated 

by the FBI and FBI cybersecurity contractor

 CrowdStrike, whose founder, Dmitri 

Alperovitch, is a Senior Fellow at the 

US-NATO think tank Atlantic Council. (1)

Blake shows how the mysterious 

persona of Guccifer 2.0, who claimed 

the hack, was played by none other than 

Alperovitch himself, while the technical 

infrastructure, including the notorious website 

dcleaks.com, was provided by US and 

NATO intermediaries in NATO member 

Romania.

Later, former FBI director Robert Mueller

 would pretend to “investigate” the cyber 

operation, attributing it to alleged 

“Russian hacking groups” named

 “Cozy Bear” and “Fancy Bear” based 

on information provided by FBI and DNC 

contractor CrowdStrike and its 

CTO Dmitri Alperovitch. (2)

Blake also shows how other alleged 

“Russian hacks”, including the “hacking” 

of the German parlia­ment in 2015, relied

 on the very same NATO-controlled 

technical infrastructure.
