The video examines posts published at Pepe Escobar’s Telegram account before and after the post announcing the upcoming article on the alleged Russian downing of an Israeli jet armed with a nuclear device to deliver an Electro-Magnetic Pulse attack on Iran.
The conclusion is no hack.
I have been reading Escobar for years and watched many tens of interviews with him. I understand his topics and cite him regularaly.
The posts are natural topics for Escobar. To follow up with a related post on Twitter would mean that both a Russia social media company and a US one would both need to be hacked to achieve an insertion. This is an extremely high bar.
No attempt was made to verify if his Twitter/X account had been hacked by examining posts around the related post (UPDATE). Twitter/X is unreliable, but this unreliability is from inside. [See the work by Matt Taibbi and others on The Twitter Files.] Also, one cannot effectively browse posts without an account.
