The London-headquartered, Ukraine-based “open source intelligence” agency Molfar OSINT today added Senator J.D. Vance to its public register of alleged “Russian Foreign propagandists,” even as he was being announced as Donald Trump’s Vice Presidential candidate. This outrageous action must be taken as a security threat of the highest order against Senator Vance and his running mate, Donald Trump. All funding Molfar receives from the U.S. State Department, its USAID, the National Democratic Institute (NDI), or through any other official U.S. channel or quango must be immediately frozen, pending a full investigation.
EIR's May 31, 2024 dossier, “‘Countering Disinformation’ by Assassination: The Lesson of the Fico Hit”, provides a roadmap for an investigation into the whole nest—slime mold, actually—of “countering disinformation” operations set up under the direction of NATO, U.S. and U.K. intelligence, and their EU allies in Ukraine for the purpose of neutralizing, politically or physically, opponents of NATO’s intent to deliver a strategic defeat to the Russian Federation through Ukraine’s war. Molfar is featured in that dossier, as is the Ukrainian government’s Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD) and the Data Journalism Agency, known as Texty. Texty’s list of 388 Americans and more than 70 American organizations targeted as Russian agents, released this past June 6, prominently included Donald Trump, Vance, and more than 100 other U.S. Congressmen and Senators, along with LaRouche independent Senate candidate Diane Sare, and hundreds of others, both “left” and “right.”
Molfar functions as a key targeting agency for Ukrainian military and intelligence agencies, while simultaneously packaging NATO propaganda for publication as “Ukrainian OSINT” in its multiple top Establishment media “partners.” It files its “Foreign Propagandists” list under the category of “Enemies of Ukraine,” who it demands must be treated as “a threat to the national security” and subjected to “removal from public positions, the introduction of sanctions, and investigations into personal involvement in crimes.”
That is the “clean” version. Molfar, like the CCD and the notorious Myrotvorets kill list, feeds the information it develops on its targets to both official Ukrainian agencies and radicals in the diaspora for direct physical action. “We have a list of potential victims,” Molfar posted on X on June 3, with a link to its “Foreign Propagandists” list attached.
Molfar’s MO is to publish the personal details of its targets and their closest family members; so far, Senator Vance’s family has been spared this action.
Molfar publicized Vance’s listing as an “enemy” on its Telegram and X accounts. The latter is an eight-part “thread dossier on J.D. Vance, who criticizes Ukraine, praises Orbán and may get an influential position in the White House.” Vance “praises the pro-Russian Hungarian prime minister and populist Viktor Orbán,” Molfar includes in its list of his alleged crimes.
Meanwhile, the CCD, which has a formal partnership with Molfar, protested mightily today that a story which appeared on how Ukrainian intelligence services had planned an assassination attempt on Orbán right before he went to Moscow, was to be dismissed as a “Russian propaganda” fake.
