A couple of weeks ago I posted an article about the DNC's emails, highlighting the fact that the Special Counsel seem to have missed out the activity that occurred on May 23, 2016.
Why Were Miranda's Mails
Missed By Mueller?
Regarding the previous article, I did contact a number of NBC News executives asking them to provide evidence to support the claims about me they had published.
It's been a month and they have been unable to even respond, so, I can only assume they lack evidence to support what they've published and are just refusing to be accountable.
I really wish the mainstream press would have more journalistic integrity.

On October 3, 2019, NBC published an article by Ben Collins that featured a false conspiracy theory origin story.
It also incorporated debunked smears against myself from Duncan Campbell.
As a result of this, I have now debunked NBC and numerous other mainstream media outlets that ran with the same story.

Been a while since the last update.
I'm currently working on an article covering all available countervailing evidence related to Guccifer 2.0 in aggregate. I'm hoping to have it ready for publication before the end of the year.
I said something in my previous update that I needed to follow up on, so, here's the update on where we are with the ridiculous Campbell/ComputerWeekly smears and conspiracy theory nonsense:
"Briton Ran Pro-Kremlin Disinformation Campaign" Story Thoroughly Debunked
June 8, 2019
At the end of July 2018, Duncan Campbell wrote a hit piece defaming several people (though primarily targeting myself). He promoted a conspiracy theory (that was soon debunked) and came up with a technical theory supposed to support a premise that Guccifer 2.0 had tampered with timestamps in the NGP-VAN archive.
Yesterday, scrutiny of Campbell's tampering theory was published:
I will soon publish a brief recap on the situation with ComputerWeekly, highlighting how their hit-piece has disintegrated over the past year.
I'm also preparing to release further evidence relating to journalistic malpractice. I don't want to release it but, if necessary, I will. The final decision on this will be made on August 1, 2019.

Forensicator published a new article on April 22 (just after my last update here) that looked at Guccifer 2.0's files showing that some seem to have been acquired even before the GRU-attributed activities reportedly occurred:
A Closer Look at Guccifer 2's DNC Email Attachments
On April 29, Forensicator published another article revealing more evidence that suggests Guccifer 2.0 was deliberately planting both Russian and Romanian indicators in documents he had released:
More Evidence that Guccifer 2 Planted His Russian Breadcrumbs
My article about the Special Counsel report was published on May 6.
It covers various troubling omissions, conflicts & problems with volume 1, part 3 of the report (the part primarily relating to Russian hacking allegations and the Guccifer 2.0 persona):
The Mueller Report - Expensive
Estimations And Elusive Evidence
On May 27, Forensicator published another article, this time revisiting the "HRC_pass.zip" with a surprising finding: it's likely that a USB device was used around the same time as US timezone settings were recorded being in effect just prior to the archive being constructed (this time, in the central timezone and within a week of Guccifer 2.0 appearing):
Transfer Rate Suggests Guccifer 2 used a Thumb Drive in the US Central Timezone
April 22, 2019
I've added some items to the timeline regarding Guccifer 2.0 and DCLeaks.
Although not directly related to Guccifer 2.0, Forensicator recently published a highly detailed analysis of the leaked DNC emails that WikiLeaks released in 2016 that is worth checking out:
Sorting The WikiLeaks
DNC Emails
I'm currently working on article about the Mueller report but this will probably not be ready for a couple of weeks due to my current workload elsewhere.
Following this, I'll have a very brief recap on "ComputerWeekly's Fake News Fiasco" (detailing what has happened since the hit-piece was published, outlining the new evidence and explaining what my plans are to get this situation resolved).

Here's a brief update on all of Guccifer 2.0's indications of activity in US timezones that have been discovered by independent analysts/researchers during the past two years:
Guccifer 2.0's
US
Time Zone Indicators
Finally, a slightly off-topic "heads up" for those of you who have followed recent reporting on the DNC emails: Expect to see further details enter the public domain in the not-too-distant future.
March 3, 2019
Last year, while distracted by having to deal with smears, lies and conspiracy theories, two things emerged in the public domain in relation to Guccifer 2.0 that, due to the commotion, I unfortunately missed.One of these was evidence that further supported the premise of Guccifer 2.0 being active in the central (US) time zone (bringing us to 4 or 5 examples of indications in that timezone now depending on whether you count Twitter and WordPress activity separately).
The discovery (originally revealed by a third party researcher/analyst in August 2018) was recently covered in a blog post by Forensicator:
When USB’s Fly: Recent Research Supports Forensicator’s Controversial Theory
In addition to this, a study carried out last year on a corpus of Guccifer 2.0's text has apparently provided a strong indication that the persona was likely to be Russian in origin (through analyzing lexical errors with the aid of Google Translate).
The study was mentioned in a document published in relation to the 14th American Association for Corpus Linguistics (AACL) Conference held in September 2018.
In conjunction with other observations, this would seem to suggest that Guccifer 2.0 (or at least one of those behind the persona) may have been a Russian who had substantial capacity to speak English (based on his lack of struggling with syntax where Russians would typically struggle) but that struggled with correct translations for certain terms.

Guccifer 2.0 Game Over Year End Review
Between discoveries of new evidence and being forced into defending ourselves against a ridiculous smear campaign, it's been a rollercoaster this year, but, ultimately, we've risen to the challenges and have come out on top.
To everyone that has supported or contributed to independent efforts to investigate Guccifer 2.0 over the past two years, thank you.
Here's the year-end review...
