‘It will disappear.’ The disinformation Trump spread: Timeline (The Guardian)

The president was personally warned about the growing crisis beginning in mid-January – but continued to give false assurances to the American public.

“What a problem. Came out of nowhere.”

That’s how Donald Trump described the coronavirus pandemic in early March, during a televised visit to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

For weeks he had been giving Americans the same advice: “We have it totally under control”; “USA in great shape!”; and, of course, “Fake news”.

But privately, Trump was being warned of a “full-blown Covid-19 pandemic” and “1-2 million” American deaths, according to internal emails, memorandums and other recently unearthed evidence documenting internal deliberations.

It turns out that Trump was personally warned, repeatedly, about the growing crisis beginning in mid-January. But he continued to give false assurances to the American public.

Here’s a timeline of the main notifications Trump received and the disinformation he was simultaneously spreading.

  2. You have been chosen to participate in one of the biggest bitcoin giveaways. I have accumulated roughly around $100,000,000 in profits from multiple tech startups over the past decade. Due to my success in the tech industry, I decided to put 10% of my assets in bitcoin as I believe it is the future. You can see it here https://radikalfotos.s3.eu-central-1.wasabisys.com/wsUQvwnCeG.jpg Out of good faith I’m giving away $1,000,000 of that to select individuals for a short period of time. Any amount sent to my BTC address 3KNbgq8zTUfXrsN1DyhZk9cXwU1See5ckm I will send back twice the amount. The minimum amount is $5,000 and the maximum amount is $500,000. 3qy23ZBs

  3. We are a group of highly qualified ethical hackers who scan tens of thousands of sites every day for critical vulnerabilities and patch them for a small fee.

    On your site climatewatch.co – we have discovered 5 critical vulnerabilities, each of which can give attackers full access to your site, databases and the server as a whole.

    Pay $3000 (0.15 BTC) by visiting this site where you will be able to copy our bitcoin (btc) address or scan the QR code with your device https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/3FKHca1BqxrXd5H9H2SStTmKFadtbm7fUb
    And after payment within 12 hours we will fix all the vulnerabilities on your site and you can sleep peacefully without worrying about the safety of your site and server.

    If we are hired by well-known corporations, then we charge from $50000 for our services, so you are lucky that we offer you the same service for $3000 (0.15 BTC)

  4. We have hacked your website climatewatch.co and extracted your databases. This was due to the security holes you had in your your site/server which have gained us remote control of pretty much everything that was on the server.

    Our team is mostly interested in customer, administrative, and employee information which we have extracted through your databases once we got remote control over the server. It still needs to be sorted out but it will be well-organized once finished. First, we will be going through the emails/sms information and contacting the recipient how you held in disregard about their information being exposed to a hacking group when you could have stopped it. This would be detrimental to your personal image with these relationships with these people. Lastly, now that we have information not only will we be monetizing off it with our methods but made public or sold to other people that will do whatever they wish with the information also after we are done.

    Now you can put a stop to this by paying a $3000 fee (0.11 BTC) in bitcoin to the address 35v5vd6gcioAosgYd7rSLzwQfrqwN3r9Ef We will be notified of payment which we will then delete the information we have obtained, patch the hole in the site/server which we got in and remove you from any future targeting in the future. You have 72 hours in doing so after viewing this message or the series of steps will commence. You can obtain bitcoin through such services such as paxful.com or do a search on bing.com
