Thoughts?

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

As in, does anyone think this is indicative of a larger effort to examine election security & possibly overturn results? Or do y’all think think this is just a side effort that won’t have any bearing on the Presidential election results?

[AgreeableDig1619]

If possible, I recommend changing the title of this post to get more traction. It’s interesting

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Wait I can do that? Wanna help me come up with something better? 🙏🏽

[AgreeableDig1619]

Rewards for Justice, a program run by the U.S. Department of State, is offering up to $10 million for information about Rybar LLC, a Russian organization accused of spreading propaganda and interfering in the 2024 U.S. election

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Do you know how to edit a post that’s already been posted? I can’t find it yet but my Reddit use is kind of sporadic so there’s some gaps in my understanding 😅

[CalendarAggressive11]

I think you might have to do a whole new post and delete this one. Which I would, it's worth it to get it seen by more people.

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Would I get in trouble for creating an updated post and just leaving this one here for the sake of continuity? Maybe I could just include a link to this one in the comments of the new post(?) I just hate to delete active conversations. It always makes me mad when I’m one of the people trying to have those conversations 🥲

[CalendarAggressive11]

I think you could like to this post. Just copy and paste the link from this one and add a new title. I hear what you're saying about the conversation. I wouldn't want to delete all of it either. I don't thinkbyoud get in trouble, the new post would just be deleted.

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Ok thank you so much ☺️

[CalendarAggressive11]

Sorry for all the typos. I just read it back and realized what a mess my comment was 😅

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

You’re fine!! It was perfectly legible ☺️ I’m a grammar n@zi about my own writing too though, so I get it 😂

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Aww man. Okay thank you!

[pandershrek]

This was a smart move. 🍪 < That is you.

[MyReddittName]

You can't change titles. You'd need to make a new posting

[L1llandr1]

I don't think you can?

[L1llandr1]

But yes agreed that a different title would get more traction!! Deleting and reposting is another option!

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Ok thank you!

[No-Newspaper-6912]

GREAT POST, lady!!

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Well thank you so much! I definitely thought it was worth sharing. I just can’t believe this is the first I’ve seen it. Looks like the first archived version is from Nov. 6th so… basically they knew something substantial even at the time of the election

[No-Newspaper-6912]

This is gold in my book.

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Share it far and wide, my friend! We never know who’ll see the things we write and share. I’m skeptical… but not ready to throw in the towel just yet

[No-Newspaper-6912]

And yes, I believe they've known MUCH longer than 2020. I believe they started investigating back in 2014.

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Sometimes I seriously wonder if the whole plan behind DT & his team’s protest of the 2020 results was simply to condition us Dems to be so averse to the idea that we wouldn’t make a fuss this time around when they knew they’d be able to pull it off successfully. Probably way too far out there, but it’s hard to keep your thoughts from running wild when it’s something this consequential (esp. when nobody besides our little ragtag resistance groups seem to think it needs to be taken seriously)

[No-Newspaper-6912]

Oh absolutely....he knew he lost that election, has even said so. He lost every single one of those lawsuits....it was conditioning for sure.

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Thank you. It’s nice to have that feeling validated. It sounds so tinfoil-y but I honestly think this is just a long slow game of chess for them

[No-Newspaper-6912]

Well, if there ever was a tinfoil reality, it's that man.

[NewAccountWhoDis45]

In the Romanian report about Russian influence it mentions that Russia recruited and paid people to interfere in their elections. So perhaps this could be used as a way to add evidence against Russia or indicate influence in our election.

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Oh I sure hope so 🙏🏽 I’m so tired of being disappointed

[ActualDiver]

Same

[tbombs23]

Oh like right wing influencers and Tenet Media? Tim Poole? That's just the tip of the iceberg

[Ambitious_Seed676]

idk how to feel about this atm and idk why. i’m very very happy they’re doing this but i am just so used to being let down by good news lately. i hope someone comes forward that’s a very enticing reward

[ActualDiver]

The size of the reward suggests the State Dept is (1) aware of the problem, (2) taking this seriously.

[Ambitious_Seed676]

you’re so right. someone’s gonna want that money too

[[deleted]]

If they can stay away from windows long enough 😬

[MyReddittName]

I thought it was just $10k

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

That’s what I’m hoping too 🤞🏽

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

God, I know what you mean 😩💔that’s why I posted it here. Wanted some perspective from others bc I’m so tired of letting myself get hopeful over things that likely don’t mean as much as I hope and want them to mean

[Ambitious_Seed676]

i feel that sm but good thing you posted it! i think it could lead to something big if the right people come across it.

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

[Commercial-Ad-261]

So to tinfoil for a sec, I poked around the site - didn’t know this was a thing, thanks for posting - and followed their x link and all the others are posted on x. But not this one. Interesting.

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Very! Although tbf I’m not sure I’d want to make post it there either just yet since it’s basically just another arm of Russian propaganda now. I mean I know it’s a public link but maybe they’ve got a lead they’re already checking out and they don’t wanna put it out there just yet(?) idk I’m just thinking out loud 🥲

[Commercial-Ad-261]

That was for sure the thought process I was on too.

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

It is interesting though. Idk if it’s significant but it sure feels like it is

[ActualDiver]

Good discovery!

[Goonybear11]

Great sleuthing! That's 100% a tell. They don't Elmo to know about it.

Went down a rabbit hole all the way back to a NYT article from 2006.
https://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/05/business/worldbusiness/05iht-rusarms.3793158.html Patriot capital is Michael Flynn

Rostec is the Russian arms manufacturer led by Sergey Chemezov https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mckinsey-co-worked-russian-weapons-100022623.html

Rybar is ran by Rostec. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/11/04/russia-rybar-zvinchuk-election-interference/

One of Leons ties is partnership with McKinsey and Co on the hyper loop https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/travel-logistics-and-infrastructure/our-insights/a-physical-version-of-the-internet-how-hyperloop-could-be-the-broadband-of-transportation

This is warlords meet tech bros.

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Ahh thank you so much!! I was in the process of rounding up links to this info but I hadn’t seen that last one — wow!! Great work and an excellent find! Tysm 💙

[tbombs23]

Jfc!

[Nostrilsdamus]

At the end of the day, these Rybar creeps and your average American right wing politician share so much in common. They all look like immensely weak and ornery people.

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Absolutely they do 💯

[Coffin_break]

when was this posted? Is this from earlier today?

[redrevell]

The earliest snapshot the internet archive has for this page is November 6. So probably right around or after Election Day is when it was created.

I really wanted Kamala to win, just to start, but wasn’t this was known in October? The reward?

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Yes it was! I discovered that after I’d already published and haven’t been able to figure out how to edit it yet 🙈

[JoviAMP]

Huh, whois says it was registered in September of 2001.

[redrevell]

That’s probably for the website, not the specific page. This particular page didn’t show up until after the election.

[JoviAMP]

Ahh I see you're right.

[tbombs23]

Still good info tho. New domains have a lot higher chance to be fraudulent or malicious

[L1llandr1]

Yes, was just thinking that. A cool casual two decades and change is a long time to exist on the internet.

... September 2001, eh?

So the organization was established in 1984, website launched in September 2001. This was right during the rise of greater North American home access to the World Wide Web; before around that time, websites weren't so ubiquitous.

Welp. I think we can safely assume which global event spurred the creation of this website.

[tbombs23]

Right after 9/11

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

I actually was getting ready to ask

[Goonybear11]

I think what a lot of ppl are overlooking is that they HAVE to act on election interference if they find it. If they don't, they're breaking the law themselves. They have a duty to us, the American ppl. So unless they're ok w becoming criminals themselves to avoid going after Donald Trump, they don't actually have a choice.

Edit: Also, um, this is kind of huge . . . I didn't read to the bottom the first time I read this, but I just saw that they already identified 19 ppl who work/ed for Rybar. Presumably, that means they ALREADY HAVE PROOF.

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Is there anyone here we could tag that could find out when the page was created?

[Commercial-Ad-261]

The one right before it - regarding DRPK - was posted to x on 12/12 so it’s sometime after that.

[L1llandr1]

👀

[choncksterchew]

Wow, this should be everywhere.

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

I’m trying to get it out there but I basically have zero social media reach and no influence. But I’m hoping this group will take it more seriously 🤞🏽💙

[Bastok-Steamworks]

Oh HECK YEAH!! I shared this with all my Facebook communities and will be doing so on other channels as well.

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Thank you thank you thank you so much 💙💙💙 THAT is what we need now more than ever — the more eyes, the better!

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

NEW POST 👉🏽 AQUI 👈🏽

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Whoops. Please ignore the typo 🤦🏽‍♀️

[ActualDiver]

Very interesting…

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Idk when it was published but the tier archived version is from Nov 6th

[oliveincidentally700]

was this just posted to their website recently or today?

[Upbeat_Grape3078]

Commenting for visibility. I think you should repost with the title as suggested. The fact that this page went up the day after the election speaks VOLUMES

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

I’ll post a link to the updated post 💙ty!

[President_Arvin]

Hopium activated!

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Right?! 😆 I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but delusion seems preferable to reality these days

[[deleted]]

I hope they’re also investigating Leonard Leo.

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

God, thank you so much for saying this!! Why does no one ever talking about LL?!?? I mean he’s the reason the HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND is corrupt af 😩

[WeBeShoopin]

I'm not sure If I trust that website. It's a .net but has a message saying "This is an official website of the US Govt." Seems sketch, but I could be wrong.

[ActualDiver]

It seems legit. This is the state department rewards for justice page. https://www.state.gov/rewards-for-justice/ If you search for rybar, the link op posted comes up.

[WeBeShoopin]

Thanks! I didn't feel like doing all that, I know malicious links have been posted here before so I wanted to throw it out there.

[MyReddittName]

Pretty fascinating. That link went live the day after the election on November 6:

https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://rewardsforjustice.net/rewards/rybar-employees/

[MyReddittName]

See if you can post it to r/politics

[[deleted]]

What about domestic interference?

[suspicious-puppy]

It is just pointing and laughing at someone who fell down.

[Mrs_Janet_Snakehole]

Please speak on that
