How would the next time succeed? This Tor fork operation likely failed because it did not take into account obvious measures of status, if Joshua Yabut had joined Tor and made contributions and gained social capital before the crisis, he would be more likely to succeed and draw a following by splitting off at the moment of crisis. He did things in the wrong order. Interestingly, he was NASA Red Team, or cyber counter intelligence, much like the creator of Encyclopedia Dramatica, but I digress.
But Joshua Yabut has an obvious connection to the US Army, former infantry. There have been many suspicious events involving the US Army's history. McCarthy's investigation of Communist subversion failed when he went after the army (more obscure voices will point to another investigation into another agency). Lee Harvey Oswald was in the navy before defecting to Russia, there were allegations that he provided information that allowed the U-2 to be shot down. More recently, CIA militias in Syria are fighting Pentagon militias in Syria (

This has been characterized many ways, Cowboy vs Yankee War, Moldbug's Red Empire vs Blue Empire. There is certainly some sort of internal antagonism being played out in the world.
Regardless, nothing is quite what it seems, and searching for the truth is unrewarding. Better to find it at the bottom of a bottle.
