The site, starwarsweb.net, was a covert CIA communications tool. It has pictures of Yoda and C-3PO on it.

    Because it’s [sic] entire purpose is to identify and exploit snitches and potential assets. OSINT is literally just a CIA recruitment tool.

    I would be interested in any evidence you have for this assertion.

        Where does this prove that OSINT is literally just a CIA recruitment tool?

          That is what the CIA does. This is relevant because this is the shit they are recruiting people to do.

          The CIA is inherently evil and was founded with literal Nazis.

          @dessalines@lemmy.ml I know you are more qualified to answer this so I am taggin you in comrade.

            All I am asking you to do is substantiate a claim that you made.
