April 8, 2023

Leaked top secret documents were posted on a Discord server called, “Thug Shaker Central.” Possibly as early a January. They spread to other servers and to Minecraft before escaping to 4chan and then Telegram and Twitter.

So, in sum:

30+ leaked documents were shared on the WowMao Discord server on March 1st and 2nd

10 files were resposted on a Minecraft Map Discord server on March 4th

On April 5th, 3 of these files were posted on 4chan and 5 (incl. a doctored document) on Russian Telegram channels

In total Aric Toler has seen 54 documents, but some are claiming 100+ have been leaked.

In sum I've seen 54 documents that Lucca posted on the WowMao Discord channel. There are likely more (seen some people say ~100 in sum). Topics include lots of Russia/Ukraine, but also some briefs on unrelated topics, such as ISIS, China, etc. But most interesting info all UA/RU.

A YouTuber couldn’t get recent satellite pics of a particular Russian tank storage site, so he paid to have a satellite retargeted to image that specific site until he got a clear picture.

Then he counts every single Russian tank in storage.

This is stuff the IC was spending billions on just a few decades ago; now a YouTuber does the previously exclusive intelligence operation for a sponsorship from “RAID Shadow Legends!”

We over estimated the impact of technology short term, and under estimate long term.

No one wants to admit it, but Socrates solved philosophy 2500 years ago with his central thesis of "everyone is a fucking idiot".
