On April 7, I wrote a post about the fact that Jack Maxey, a man who once worked with Steve Bannon at the latter’s War Room, was contending that he had successfully recovered 450 gigabytes of deleted documents and photos from Hunter Biden’s infamous hard drive. Maxey promised that he would soon be making this information available to the public. However, Yaacov Apelbaum, a writer whose work a highly reputable friend of mine recommends, suggests that Maxey’s assertions should be taken with a very large grain of salt.
In a post entitled “My Name is Jack Maxey, and I’m a Fabricator,” Apelbaum describes a “fabricator” as “an intelligence agent or officer that generates disinformation, falsehoods, or bogus information often without access to authentic sources.” In addition to being used to create and promote out-and-out falsehoods, fabricators are also used to discredit legitimate information by muddying the waters with falsehoods:
A fabricator is often cited as a reliable source behind black propaganda or atrocity propaganda involving disinformation or information that has not been properly vetted but suits the agenda of the disseminating organization. Multiple fabricators are usually used to justify a Big Lie. The process of vetting to weed out fabricators and double agents is also referred to as source vetting or validation.
