A summary of key networks in Gamergate


    The Organization of Al-Qaeda

Following the American victory in the Persian Gulf war of 1991, the intelligence service of Saddam Hussein's Iraq tasked Hassan Turabi of the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood with organizing a covert retaliation against the United States.

Hassan Turabi recruited Yasser Arafat of the Palestine Liberation Organization to advise his group on political strategy.

The Palestine Liberation Organization and its constituent groups are banned from the United States by 22 USC § 5201, the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1987.

Hassan Turabi recruited Osama bin Laden to advise his group on financial strategy.

Osama bin Laden identified bankers throughout the world who would be willing to launder the funds of Turabi's organization.

Representatives of Hassan Turabi's National Islamic Front and allied organizations from around the world met with Qazi Husayn Ahmad of Pakistan's Jama'at-e Islami in February 1991 to discuss worldwide strategy.

Hassan Turabi made numerous trips to Iran, Europe, and the United States to recruit additional followers.

Hassan Turabi hosted the Popular Arab and Islamic Congress of April 1991 which was attended by top leaders of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Islah, Abu Sayyaf, Hezb-i-Islami, Jamaat ul-Fuqra, Egyptian Islamic Jihad, and the Muslim Brotherhood of several nations, along with Carlos the Jackal, Abu Nidal, Yasser Arafat, Osama bin Laden, Qazi Husayn Ahmad, and official delegations from Iraq, Iran, Jordan, and Somalia.

The political network formed by Hassan Turabi, Yasser Arafat, Osama bin Laden, Qazi Husayn Ahmad, and their allies and benefactors became known as al-Qaeda, the organization that attacked the United States of America on February 26, 1993, August 7, 1998, and September 11, 2001.

Al-Qaeda has been supported throughout its life by the top authorities of the Islamic states.

CIA analyst Clare Lopez has testified that Iran gave aid to al-Qaeda, resulting in a civil conviction against Iran by default judgment in the case Havlish v. Bin Laden, 03-cv-09848.

Saudi Prince Turki al-Faisal, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum of Dubai, and Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates were guests at hunting parties led by Osama bin Laden during the late 1990s.

Zacarias Moussaoui, the "20th hijacker", has claimed that the 9/11 attack was financed by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal of Saudi Arabia.

Qatar employed Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the nephew of Ramzi Yousef, under the cover of an engineer in the ministry of electricity and water. 

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed designed the 9/11 attack plan and al-Qaeda's general strategic plan to conquer the United States through the peaceful immigration of large numbers of Muslims and the acquisition of political power before using the tools of state to suppress political opposition.


    The George W. Bush Administration

Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, the advisors of President George W. Bush arranged for him to give a speech with members of the Osama bin Laden network on September 17, 2001.

These included Nihad Awad of the Council on American-Islamic Affairs which was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza (Hamas) as its spy agency in the United States.

These included Khaled Saffuri of the American Muslim Council whose leader Abdurahman Alamoudi was later jailed for funding an al-Qaeda plot to assassinate Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah.

Following this speech, Suhail Khan was given a position in the George W. Bush administration.

Bush's advisor Karl Rove had been funded by the state of Qatar.

Grover Norquist is credited for the September 17 meeting and co-founded the Islamic Free Market Institute with Khaled Saffuri.

The Islamic Free Market Institute's first event was funded by Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The American Conservative Union banned defense analyst Frank Gaffney from the Conservative Political Action Conference for reporting to them that Norquist was meeting with members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and other terrorists linked to the Osama bin Laden network.

Those named in press reports as responsible for banning Gaffney and vetting the confirmed members of foreign terrorist organizations are David Keene, currently the opinion editor of the Washington Times, and Cleta Mitchell of Foley and Lardner.


    Qatar and Wadah Khanfar

Qatar hosts the diplomatic presence of the Taliban.

Qatar hosts Yusuf Qaradawi, the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Qatar Foundation subsidized the work of Osama bin Laden's friend Jamal Khashoggi in the Washington Post.

Qatari operatives diverted modern anti-aircraft missiles from Libya to Afghanistan where the weapons were used on American forces, forcing NATO to change tactics in the theater.

Qatar housed the exiled Mohamed Morsi of Egypt in the headquarters of its state media company Al-Jazeera.

While he was in power, Morsi had authorized the Zawahiri network of Egyptian Islamic Jihad to attack his political enemies.

Al Jazeera was led by Wadah Khanfar from 2003 to 2011.

Wadah Khanfar had previously worked as a recruiter for the Muslim Brotherhood in South Africa. 

Wadah Khanfar met with Denis McDonough and Ben Rhodes in July 2009.

Wadah Khanfar met with Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton in March 2010. The meeting was arranged by Robert Malley.

Following his work at Al Jazeera, Wadah Khanfar joined the board of the International Crisis Group in 2012. 

Al Jazeera has been accused of conducting espionage against Jewish organizations in the United States. 


    Brookings and Qatar

Qatar hosts the US-Islamic World Forum which includes numerous leaders and supporters of terrorist organiztions as speakers.

The US-Islamic World Forum was organized by Martin Indyk, Peter Warren Singer, and Shibley Telhami of the Brookings Institute to seek the "integration of Islamist parties" into political systems, in Singer's words, rather than their exclusion as banned terrorist organizations.

The Solis group, now known as Soliya, helped coordinate the US-Islamic World Forum and has since merged with the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations.

Solis / Soliya was founded by Lucas Welch and Liza Chambers who are now members of the Berkman Center.

Members of Soliya include top Twitter investor Suhail Rizvi, Shamil Idriss of the the U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project, and Dahlia Mogahed.

The Saban Center was funded by Haim Saban and led by Martin Indyk. 

The Saban Center sponsors the union Muslims On Screen and Television whose directors include Dahlia Mogahed. 

Haim Saban is a member of American Friends of the Peres Center whose vice president is Steven C. Koppel of Jones Day and whose chairman is Maurice Levy of Publicis Group.

The Peres Center banned the movie Snow Ball for alleging that "the state of Israel is the national home of all Jews" which is not controversial to anyone but Islamist extremists.

Peres Center board member Chemi Peres is on the board of Social Finance Israel with Ronald Cohen of the United Kingdom and Yad Hanadiv CEO Ariel Weiss.

Publicis Group includes Kekst CNC whose advisory board includes Nuala O'Connor of the Global Network Initiative and the Center for Democracy and Technology; Matthew Westermann, a banker who has held positions as Goldman Sachs, HSBC, and Rothschild & Co.; and Wolfgang Ischinger of the Munich Security Conference, International Crisis Group, and Institute for Strategic Dialogue.


    The Pacific Council and the California Endowment

The Muslim Public Affairs Council publishes the magazine The Minaret whose July 1999 issue featured Osama bin Laden and Ayatollah Khomeini on its front cover with the headline "The Spirit of Jihad."

The Muslim Public Affairs Council promoted itself in April 2014 as the "Safe Space" movement.

The Muslim Public Affairs Council was founded by Hassan Hathout and Maher Hathout of the Islamic Center of Southern California.

Hassan Hathout studied under Hassan al Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Maher Hathout advocated for Hassan Turabi in a speech to the State Department in 1997, after Turabi had created the organization that had bombed the World Trade Center in 1993.

Maher Hathout was accepted as a charter member of the Pacific Council of International Policy.

Members of the Pacific Council of International Policy include Cynthia Telles and John Bryson of the California Endowment, and Elise Buik of the United Way of Los Angeles.

The California Endowment advocates for Patrice Cullors of the organization Black Lives Matter which models itself after the Black Liberation Army of Assata Shakur.

Patrice Cullors and a group of her followers have visited the Middle East to meet with the Palestine Liberation Organization, and have declared "Solidarity" with this organization.

Black Lives Matter and its adherents, including the California Endowment, are therefore constituent groups of the Palestine Liberation Organization and are banned from the United States by the Antiterrorism Act of 1987.


    Hollywood and Al-Qaeda 

In 1991, Hassan Turabi visited the United States and met with Sami al-Arian, who has been accused of leading the American branch of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a constituent group of the banned Palestine Liberation Organization.

In December 2016, Madeline di Nonno was appointed to lead the Television Academy, the organization that produces the Emmy Awards.

Under the leadership of Madeline di Nonno, the Television Academy gave an Emmy Award to Laila al-Arian, daughter of Sami al-Arian, for a documentary produced by Qatari state media al-Jazeera.

Before December 2016, Madeline di Nonno had served as the CEO of the Geena Davis Insitute on Gender in Media.

On May 2, 2012, the Geena Davis Institute hosted a fundraiser with Amir Dossal of the Global Partnerships Forum and Judy Belk of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.

Geena Davis and Amir Dossal are members of the United Nations Broadband and Gender Working Group which meets with representatives of foreign powers.


    Pakistan and international relations

Pakistan, "the land of the pure", was created as an Islamic theocracy in the Indus Valley region which used to be known as India.

After the king of Jammu and Kashmir chose to join Hindu India during the partition, Pakistan invaded India several times in an attempt to sieze the territory for Islam.

The Taliban was created by the Pakistani military invasion of Afghanistan in 1994 which swept out of power the American-backed Muslim forces that had fought the Soviet Union in the 1980s.

After 9/11, the Pakistani military under American direction lost several battles against the Taliban and ceded control of its northwest territories.

After the governor of Punjab province, Salman Tasseer, was assassinated for offering a pardon to Christian woman Asia Bibi who had been sentenced to death for denying the holiness of Mohammed, tens of thousands of Pakistanis rallied to show their support for the assassin.

Forces originating in Pakistan attacked the parliament of Indian state Srinagar in October 2001.

Forces originating in Pakistan attacked India's parliament in December 2001.

India blamed Pakistan for the 2008 attack on Mumbai.

Myanmar blamed Pakistan for coordinated attacks against police and military outposts and the ensuing war to secure its territory, which was reported in the worldwide press as a massacre of the Muslim Rohingya people by bloodthirsty genocidal Buddhists.

Osama bin Laden was found in Abbottabad, home of a prestigious Pakistani military base, making it highly likely that Pakistani officials knew of his presence.


    Pakistan and ISNA

The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) was founded by the Muslim Students Association (MSA) at a street address also used by the Holy Land Foundation, a fundraising front for Hamas, the foreign government of Gaza.

ISNA co-founder Iqbal Unus was a member of the Islamic Institute of International Thought (IIIT), the headquarters of American al-Qaeda funded by the Saudi SAAR Foundation / SAFA Group.

Iqbal Unus was dean of students at the Graduate School of Islamic and Social Sciences (GSISS) which was raided in Operation Green Quest due to its affiliations with al-Qaeda.

Aimen Nabi Mir was in a position to have approved the sale of American uranium to a Russian company in the Uranium One scandal.

Aimen Nabi Mir was in a position to have approved the lease of Port Canaveral to Gulftainer in the Project Pelican scandal.

Following these two scandals, the Treasury Department promoted Aimen Mir to Deputy Assistant Secretary for Investment Security.

Aimen Nabi Mir was an attorney at the law firm WilmerHale where he represented asylum claims for people from the Middle East.

Farah Pandith oversaw the development of the Viral Peace project at Harvard University's Berkman Center in coordination with the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Lisa Monaco, Haris Tarin and Shahed Amanullah of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, and Institute of Peace fellow and former Boston police commissioner Ed Davis.

Lisa Monaco was a member of the Enron Task Force with Michael Chertoff and was chief of staff to Robert Mueller.

Farah Pandith oversaw the State Department program Generation Change.

Farah Pandith coordinated the Women In Public Service project, also known as the 50x50 Movement and formerly known as the Global Women's Leadership Initiative  and the Council of Women World Leaders, which is hosted in the Woodrow Wilson Center under Jane Harman.

On February 10 2012, State Department chair Hillary Clinton sent an email to Melanie Verveer mentioned "a group of high level women in international national security positions who had heard about our women in public service initiative and wanted to extend it to Europe."

Farah Pandith is a member of the Citizens Dialogue Group with Mehdi Alhassani of Palantir and of the Truman Project as a National Security fellow, Yahya Basham of the American Muslim Council, and Talal Eid of Brandeis University.

   Al Qaeda in the Video Games Industry

In August 2014, users of the video game forum /v/ on the website 4chan noticed that a group of people who called for the violent overthrow of the United States were beginning to get into the video games business.

It was further found that certain journalists had given these people favorable coverage due to personal friendships with these journalists, including a sexual relationship between a journalist and a developer.

The same journalists coordinated a fake news campaign to denounce everybody who played video games, who were supposed to be their core audience.

This scandal was named Gamergate.

These people included Jonathan McIntosh who had uploaded an image to Wikipedia describing Osama bin Laden as a hero, and who had kinder words for Osama bin Laden than for the atheist Christopher Hitchins upon their deaths.

Jonathan McIntosh was a member of the organization Feminist Frequency.

The secretary of Feminist Frequency, Katherine Cross, is a board member of the Third Wave Fund and the Sylvia Rivera Law Project.

Board members of the Sylvia Rivera Law Project have called for the overthrow of "Capitalism and American democracy" and board member Dean Spade has signed a statement of support for Hamas.

    Wikipedia and Zoe Quinn

Sarah Stierch, known on Wikipedia as MissVain, was fired by the Wikimedia Foundation in January 2014 for undisclosed paid editing.

Sarah Stierch was then quietly re-hired by the Wikimedia Foundation and was appointed to the board of the District of Columbia chapter.

On May 28, 2014, Anastasia Salter gave a presentation at which she promoted the video game Depression Quest which was written by Chelsea van Valkenburg under the pen name Zoe Quinn.

Shaun Edmonds attended the presentation by Salter.

On May 30, 2014, Sarah Stierch encouraged Shaun Edmonds to create a Wikipedia page to promote Zoe Quinn as "one of very few female game designers in the industry" whose "vocal and public resistance to misogyny has made her a key figure in advancing female equality within the video game industry."

The use of such promotional language is against Wikipedia policy.

When Wikipedia editor Zeus nominated the Zoe Quinn page for speedy deletion due to her lack of notability, Sarah Stierch cancelled the nomination.

Such promotional actions give aid and comfort to the network to which Zoe Quinn belongs.

Zoe Quinn would later become a central figure in the Gamergate scandal for having received improper promotion for her insignificant game due to her personal friendships with journalists and industry marketing figures.


    Microsoft involvement

On September 30, 2014, Brianna Wu, formerly John Walker Flynt, was invited to Microsoft headquarters.

Brianna Wu is a member of Transgender.

On October 9, 2014, Brianna Wu announced having a partnership with Microsoft.

On October 11, 2014, a Twitter account by the name of "chatterwhiteman" threatened to kill Brianna Wu and posted her home address.

Brianna Wu's home address was listed under the names of Jean Miao Chen Yang and Thomas T. Yang, so it would be difficult to find for someone who did not personally know Brianna Wu.

On October 11, 2014, Brianna Wu claimed to have been forced to flee her house due to the threats from chatterwhiteman, which Brianna Wu claimed without evidence had come from Gamergate.

Multiple media outlets repeated Wu's claim without criticism.

On October 12, 2014, Brianna Wu spoke at at a pre-arranged panel at Comic-Con in New York.

After Brianna Wu returned to her home from her trip to New York, multiple media outlets interviewed Brianna Wu in her home and falsely claimed that Brianna Wu was at that time on the run from death threats.

Publishing website Medium deleted an article by amateur journalist Nick Monroe for reporting that the media interviews of Brianna Wu who had "fled from her home" were in fact conducted in her home.

On October 16, 2014, the New York Times ran the article "Feminist critics of video games facing threats in Gamergate campaign".

The New York Times article gave favorable coverage to Kate Edwards of IGDA and Anita Sarkeesian of Feminist Frequency.

The New York Times article was planted by Sue Bohle, a long-time public relations employee for Microsoft.

Feminist Frequency writer Jonathan McIntosh is a former employee of Mimi Ito, the sister of New York Times board member Joi Ito.

In late October 2014, the hackers Commander Xanon and Laurelai Bailey called for an Operation Gamergate to target people who continued to discuss the Gamergate scandal.

Operation Gamergate ended shortly after another member of Anonymous claimed that Commander Xanon and Laurelai were federal informants.

Those who followed Operation Gamergate during the short time it existed on Twitter included Kate Edwards, several other members of the IGDA, and writers for media outlets New Inquiry, Jezebel, Thought Catalog, Daily Dot, Vice, BBC, Model View Culture, Raw Story, and The Guardian.

Among those who participated in the harassment of people discussing Gamergate, or adhered to those doing so, were several members of Execution Labs, including Phil Fish, Heather Kelley, Robin Hunicke, Mare Sheppard, and Eric Zimmerman.


    The PLO and the Israel Policy Forum

After the First World War, the League of Nations designated Palestine as a location for a future Jewish National Home and placed it under British administration.

In 1921, the British appointed Haj Amin al Husseini as Mufti of Jerusalem after witnessing him lead riots against the Jews.

Over the next 27 years, Haj Amin al Husseini consolidated his control over the Muslim population by assassinating other Muslim leaders.

During the Second World War, Haj Amin al Husseini allied with Germany, advocated for the extermination of the Jews, and formed the Handschar (Hanzar) division of Bosnian Muslims.

The Arab League forbid the integration of Arab refugees from Israel's war for independence so that they would retain a Palestinian identity. 

Seeking to organize the Arabs of Palestine for a war against Israel, the Arab League drove the formation of the Palestine National Council in 1964 which in turn formed the Palestine Liberation Organization.

Haj Amin al Husseini's nephew Rahman Abdel-Raouf al-Husseini adopted the name Yasser Arafat and became leader of the PLO in 1967.

In 1970, Yasser Arafat told interviewer Oriana Fallaci that "the goal of our struggle is the end of Israel."

Yasser Arafat continued calling for the destruction of Israel and the mass murder of the Jews well into the 1990s.

In 1987, the United States Congress declared Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization a terrorist organization and outlawed its presence, or that of any constituent organization, on U.S. soil.

After 1991, U.S. Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton proposed giving territory in Israel to Yasser Arafat and his army, who were then exiled in Tunisia after having been expelled from Lebanon.

In 1993, Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin authorized the formation of the Israel Policy Forum to suppress the resistance of American Jews to the American plan to give Israeli land to Arafat.

The Israel Policy Forum has consistently called for Israel to surrender concessions to the Palestine Liberation Organization.

Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization refused multiple offers of peace while consolidating its control of the Arab population of Israel and launching multiple wars against Israel.

During that time, the Muslim Brotherhood subsidiary Hamas competed with the PLO by launching its own attacks against the Jews and fighting with the PLO for territory, winning control of the Gaza Strip.

Hamas is represented in the United States by the front organization Council on American-Islamic Relations, formerly known as the Islamic Association for Palestine.

As of 2007, the Israel Policy Forum's director of policy was M.J. Rosenberg who was known for consistently writing anti-Israel disinformation on the website Talking Points Memo.

The Israel Policy Forum funds Peter Beinart, who has called for American Jewish leaders to endorse and support Hamas.

Peter Beinart is hosted by the Daily Beast, a subsidiary of InterActiveCorp.

The Daily Beast employs Kevin Poulsen who has been convicted of espionage against the United States. 

In 2012, the Israel Policy Forum commissioned a letter denouncing the Levy Commission which found that Israel had legal title to the West Bank.

The signatories to this letter included Charles Bronfman of the Bronfman family, and David Saperstein of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, who would be part of the Inclusive America Project.

As of 2016, the board of the Israel Policy Forum includes David Halperin, son of Morton Halperin.

Morton Halperin appointed John Podesta to lead the Center for American Progress.

John Podesta appointed Faiz Shakir and Wajahat Ali to leadership positions at the Center for American Progress.

Faiz Shakir and Wajahat Ali describe Muslim moderates and Jews who oppose Muslim extremists as "the Islamophobia Network." 

Abdur-Rahman Muhammad has said that the word "Islamophobia" was coined by the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT) as a weapon to "beat up their critics."

The IIIT is part of the SAAR Network or SAFA Group of Suleiman Abdel Aziz al Rajhi that was raided in Operation Green Quest after the 9/11 attack.

Al Rajhi is named on the Golden Chain list of early financiers of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network.

John Podesta's brother Tony Podesta is an art dealer who sells to the state of Qatar.


    Israel Policy Forum and Third Way

Israel Policy Forum member Peter Joseph is managing director of Palladium Equity Partners which funds the Third Way / Republic 3.0 movement and the New America Foundation.

Third Way founder Jonathan Cowan is on the board of the KIPP Foundation with Netflix and Facebook board member Reed Hastings, MassIT director Mark Nunnelly, and Wikimedia Foundation treasurer Garfield Byrd. 

Stefan Hankin, founder of Lincoln Park Strategies, is a writer for Republic 3.0.

In November 2014 Stefan Hankin performed promotional work for Katherine Cross, Allyson Kapin of Rad Campaign, and Shireen Mitchell.

    FitzGibbon, Fenton, and Qatar

Trevor FitzGibbon's company FitzGibbon Media managed public relations for Bradley Manning, Edward Snowden, Wikileaks, Amnesty International, and The Guardian.

Trevor FitzGibbon was partnered with Suzie Gilbert of the UK.

FitzGibbon's finance director Al Thomson worked in the office of Ted Kennedy from 1979 to 2009.

FitzGibbon was registered as a foreign agent of Venezuela, an ally of Iran.

FitzGibbon partnered with Qatar in 2009 "to lead an 18-month long anti-Israel campaign in the United States with a special focus on campuses" according to a press report. 

At the same time, David Fenton's Fenton Communications partnered with Qatar to run propaganda supporting the "Free Gaza Flotilla" which demanded an end to the naval blockade that intercepted Iranian arms deliveries to Hamas in Gaza, and which delivered recruits form Turkey to Hamas's training camps in Gaza. 

Fenton's vice president Jeremy Ben-Ami resigned from Fenton shortly before founding J Street. 


    J Street, the New America Foundation, and Demos

The New America Foundation's Middle East Task Force is led by Daniel Levy, who also co-founded J Street.

J Street was founded with money laundered by Consolacion Ediscul of Hong Kong.

J Street's national policy director during its early years was Rebecca Abou-Chedid of the Arab American Institute.

Richard Abdoo is a member of the J Street finance committee, a board member of AMIDEAST, and a former board member of the Arab American Institute.

The board of the Arab American Institute includes George Salem of the United Palestinian Appeal, which delivers funds to regions controlled by the Palestine Liberation Organization and Hamas.

The Arab American Institute works in concert with the Muslim Public Affairs Council founded by the Hathout brothers, as it is among the signatories to a MPAC statement of June 8, 2017 denouncing Brigitte Gabriel of ACT For America.

George Salem and Ray Lahood of the Arab American Institute are both employed by DLA Piper. 

J Street co-founder Daniel Levy is a board member of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund which funds Palestinian constituent groups in the United States, and co-director of the Middle East Task Force at the New America Foundation.

The Rockefeller Brothers Fund sponsored the The U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project which produced the 2008 report "Changing Course: A New Direction for U.S. Relations with the Muslim World" that called for American support for the Muslim Brotherhood.

The Rockefeller Brothers subsidiary Demos collaborated with Hope Not Hate to produce the 2013 Home Office report on "The English Defense League and Europe's Counter-Jihad Movement" which called for the suppression of parties that opposed the Islamic conquest of England by al-Qaeda and its allies.

Hope Not Hate produced a 2015 report on "The Counter-Jihad Movement" which accused people of "hate" for supporting the continued existence of Israel.

The Rockfeller Foundation finances the Association for Progressive Communications whose subsidiary Institute for Global Communications provides the email service for Renew America, a project of the Didion Group of Dale Didion who employed Hussam A. Qutub of Guidance Residential, a subsidiary of the Islamic finance group Capital Guidance Corporation.

Guidance Residential marketing manager Adnan Ozair was director of fundraising for the ADAMS mosque that was raided in Operation Green Quest as part of the SAAR Network, one of the original Golden Chain financiers of the Osama bin Laden network.

Rockefeller Brothers Fund vice president Adam Wolfensohn is in business with Jonah Peretti of Buzzfeed and Ken Lerer of the Huffington Post.

Huffington Post hosts an Arabic edition that is managed by Wadah Khanfar and Anas Foudah, both from Qatari state television Al Jazeera.

Both Buzzfeed and the Huffington Post published disinformation falsely claiming that people discussing the Gamergate scandal had harassed women.

At the time of the Gamergate scandal, Ken Lerer employed Christopher Poole of the website 4chan.

4chan banned discussion of the Gamergate scandal, causing such discussion to move to 8chan.

Jonah Peretti and Adam Wolfensohn are both members of the Eyebeam project which was hosted at the Parsons New School, which was formerly known as the Frankfurt School.


    The 2008 Gaza war and its aftermath 
    
Israel fought a war with Hamas in December 2008 - January 2009.

The United Nations commissioned Richard Goldstone to write a report that could be used to charge Israel's leaders with war crimes like Serbia's leaders had been after the Bosnia and Kosovo wars, while nothing was to be done about Hamas's leaders just as nothing was done about Bosnia or Kosovo's leaders.

Israel imposed a naval blockade on Gaza after the war.

With the support of the government of Turkey, the IHH organized the Free Gaza Flotilla to break the naval blockade by sending allegedly civilian ships and demanding that Israel not search them.

The IHH is an affiliate of al-Qaeda that was founded to support the war in Bosnia.

The ships of the Free Gaza Flotilla were delivering recruits to be trained by Hamas in Gaza.

The Free Gaza Flotilla obtained a large amount of positive press in the West and received little criticism.

The Free Gaza Flotilla took place in May 2010, contemporary with a change in policy at Wikileaks.

In April 2010 Wikileaks released a video of a US airstrike on an Iraqi force under the dishonest title "Collateral Murder".

Further records released by the US military showed that the Iraqi force was an armed combat team. 

Wikileaks had obtained the video from Bradley Manning who claimed affiliation with the organization Transgender.

Wikileaks replaced the front page of its website to promote the video. 

The release of the video accompanied a large marketing campaign that included advertisements on public transit to the Pentagon that encouraged further espionage.

Wikileaks had hired FitzGibbon Media to manage its marketing. 

After his arrest, Bradley Manning demanded that the United States government pay for an elective sex change treatment.

Manning's request suggests prior training in draining the resources of the state while under arrest.

Manning's request was accompanied by a large public relations campaign to demand that the government pay for Manning's demands.

Manning's adherents in the media can be identified as those that reported his name as Chelsea Manning before he had undergone a formal change of name or sex.

It was after the 2008 war that FitzGibbon partnered with Qatar, Fenton ran PR for the Free Gaza Flotilla, and Fenton's vice president Jeremy Ben-Ami founded J Street.

   Wikipedia, Harvard University, MIT, and Qatar

On December 21, 1988, Iranian agents bombed Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.

Israeli agent Juval Aviv alleged that Iran was directed to target this flight by a corrupt branch of the Central Intelligence Agency in order to assassinate a Defense Intelligence Agency team that was returning to the United States to report that the CIA presence in Lebanon was working for Syrian intelligence in exchange for drugs.

While investigating the Lockerbie bombing, ABC investigative journalist Pierre Salinger hired Linda Mack as an assistant.

Pierre Salinger came to believe that Linda Mack was spying on him for an intelligence agency.

In 2007, Daniel Brandt and Ludwig De Braeckeleer reported that Linda Mack was now Wikipedia user SlimVirgin, "the most abusive administrator of Wikipedia."

During the Gamergate scandal in 2014, no fewer than five veteran Wikipedia users suppressed any information about the scandal and created a false article claiming that Gamergate was a harassment campaign.

One of these five users shares the online user name TaraInDC of Battlefield Information, Collection, & Exploitation System (BICES) operator Tara Ann King, who had been held by Panama as an American agent during Operation Just Cause.

Wikipedia user SlimVirgin advocated for these users that were breaking Wikipedia's neutrality and civility rules.

    Goon Swarm in Libya

Members of the website Something Awful referred to themselves as Goons and formed the gaming guild Goon Swarm.

Goons became notorious for infiltrating and taking over online communities, for harassing people until they committed suicide, and for obtaining the personal information of users they intended to target.

The moderators of Something Awful began to enforce agreement with Maoist doctrine around the time that Something Awful entered into an arrangement with marketing agency Teenage Research Unlimited of the UK.

On September 11 2012, al-Qaeda attacked the US consolate in Benghazi as part of a campaign of attacks on US embassies worldwide.

Among the casualties of the attack was Sean Smith who was also known as VileRat, the second highest ranking officer in Goon Swarm.

It was been widely rumored, and steadfastly denied, that the consulate in Benghazi was used to coordinate the sale of arms to the al-Qaeda forces that overthrew the government of Libya and started a civil war in Syria.

After the reveal of a coordinated media disinformation campaign in the Gamergate scandal of 2014, Goon Swarm leader Alexander Gianturco "The Mittani" offered to "pitch a tantrum about vidya games so hard that the federal authorities get involved".

Users of Reddit who organized to suppress the spread of news about Gamergate and harass the people who were talking about it called their community GamerGhazi, in reference to the Benghazi attack.

The moderators/leaders of GamerGhazi are believed to include Joshua Colin Crouch aka "Geary", "Meneth" who shares the user name of a Magne Skjaeran, Alex King (possibly of Lizard Squad), FEMACampCounselor (identity unknown), and "greenduch" who has a relationship with Peter Swales aka Kat Swales "nekosune" of the UK.

    Randi Harper's letter to ICANN

Randi Harper is credited as the lead author of the Gamergate Block Bot (ggautoblocker) which allows users to filter Twitter accounts that have discussed Gamergate.

The Gamergate Block Bot worked by identifying and blocking accounts that were in contact with journalists and a feminist scholar who had reported on the story, and the actor Adam Baldwin who was the first to call the Phil Fish racketeering scandal "Gamergate".

Microsoft used the Gamergate Block Bot to filter the search results of its Bing search engine.

The use of the block list was promoted by the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) which was led by Kate Edwards, Microsoft's director of geopolitical strategy.

At the time, the Gamergate Block Bot listed IGDA's Puerto Rico chairman Roberto Rosario, the publisher Penguin Books, and the fast-food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken as among what IGDA called "the worst offenders in the recent waves of harassment."

Other developers of the Gamergate Block Bot include Jeremy Yoder, Aaron Sofaer, Dennis Vaccaro, Zander Hill, Wayne J. Werner, and the anonymous user Soulmech / YotsubaVEVO who is a member of RespectSec with Teridax and fl0ss.

Teridax is one of the few people who can be confirmed to have harassed or encouraged the harassment of Zoe Quinn during the Gamergate controversy.

Teridax was manually excluded from the Gamergate Block Bot by Harper or another Block Bot administrator.

Randi Harper has claimed support from the Electronic Frontier Foundation and said that a member of the EFF developed the censorship application Block Together.

Google Jigsaw / Google Ideas hosted a meeting of Randi Harper, Zoe Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Rose Eveleth, Jamia Wilson, Michelle Taylor ("Feminista Jones"), and Holly Jacobs of the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative. 

The mutual Facebook friends of Leigh Alexander and Brianna Wu include Randi Harper, Mattie Brice, Brian Crecente of Polygon, Katherine Cross, Clara Fernandez-Vara of MIT Game Lab, Rami Ismail, Celia Pearce of DiGRA, Toni Rocca of GaymerX, Chloe Sagal, and Elizabeth Sampat, suggesting that these people know one another.

In July 2015, Randi Harper wrote a letter to the International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) that was co-signed by Kendra Albert, Whitney Erin Boesel, Jack Cushman, Bruce Schneier, and Willow Brugh of the Berkman Center; Danielle Keats Citron; Katherine Cross; Nadia Kayyali of the EFF; Sarah Jeong, now an editor of the New York Times; Arthur Chu; Brianna Wu; Ethan Zuckerman of MIT Media Lab; Valerie Aurora of the Ada Initiative; Chris Kluwe, who told Jay Allen "A Man In Black" to expect the availability of captured firearms in an upcoming violent overthrow of the United States government; and others, suggesting the pre-existence of lines of communication.

Harper's letter was co-signed by the Chayn group of Pakistan whose events have been sponsored by the United Kingdom, Netherlands, and Sweden. Chayn otherwise has no known relationship to these events, but its presence shows that this group engages in foreign diplomacy.

    DePaul University

The Kernel founder Milo Yiannopoulos was among the few journalists willing to write about the existence of the Gamergate scandal and the GameJournoPros mailing list that was used to coordinate racketeering activities.

Despite having had media connections for years, and having most of his sources be journalists, Milo Yiannopoulos found that no outlet would publish his reporting other than the Jewish-led online publication Breitbart.

DePaul university staff organized a riot to stop a speaking appearance by Milo Yiannopoulos.

Twitter account UygurLeaks accused DePaul's political science department chair Valerie Johnson of organizing the riot, and accused Student Affairs employee Lindsay Ritenbaugh, Associate Vice President for Student Development Peggy Burke, Associate Vice President Ashley Knight of ordering security staff to allow rioters to assault Milo Yiannopoulos and his audience.

Twitter user Mike Cernovich identified a man who locked Milo out of his own talk as Depaul Associate Vice President for Diversity, Empowerment, and Inclusion Rico Tyler.

Tom Cicotta identified a rioter who assaulted Milo with a closed fist as Kayla Johnson, the daughter of Chicago Police Department Director of Administration Juanita Johnson.

Others identified as participating in the riot or standing with the rioters include preacher Edward Ward and professor Michael Welch.

DePaul professor Scott Paeth falsely claimed that Milo was invited "the express purpose of offending others" and implied that Milo should not be allowed to speak. 

Chicago city police arrested Jeremy Segal, a writer for Rebel Pundit, for filming the riot.

DePaul president Dennis H. Holtschneider resigned upon the demand of DePaul law professor Terry Smith and presumably others who had wanted him to prevent Milo from speaking. 


    San Francisco FBI  

David J. Johnson of the San Francisco office of the FBI was the special agent in charge (SAIC) of the Gamergate investigation.

David J. Johnson took no action as people with observable links to al-Qaeda and other foreign terrorist organizations and foreign intelligence agencies assumed control of nearly every large corporation and position of influence in Silicon Valley, leaving al-Qaeda and its supporters in control of every social media company and every organization that produces computer hardware, computer operating systems, and web browsers, placing the United States at great risk of espionage and cybercrime while preventing the spread of information about al-Qaeda and its allies.

When another branch of the FBI reported receiving a tip about Gamergate, David J. Johnson requested the name of the source.

Following this failure, David J. Johnson was promoted to executive assistant director of the FBI's cybercrime unit and the bureau's operational lead for the Five Eyes Law Enforcement Group. 

David J. Johnson had previously been appointed SAIC of the Salt Lake City office by Robert Mueller.
