The December Leonardo Italy arrest was confirmed by Reuters

“ MILAN (Reuters) - Computers hacked at Italian defence group Leonardo between 2015 and 2017 belonged to a unit that makes components for both commercial and military aircraft, including C27J and ATR turboprop, a police officer working on the case told Reuters.

The officer, who asked not to be identified by name, said police were now looking into the hard disks and laptops seized from one of the people arrested to check what kind of information was stolen and why. “The data could have been stolen simply to show off hacking skills or to sell information,” the officer said. “Both hypotheses are on the table.”

On Dec. 5 Italian police arrested two people who had worked at Leonardo over their alleged role in hacking 94 computers, 33 of which were at the group’s plant in Pomigliano d’Arco, near Naples. One of the two people under arrest is Arturo D’Elia, who at the time of the hacking was part of the Leonardo team handling cybersecurity incidents.”

OK but on another site someone who speaks Italian said that’s not what they were saying. I really wish I remember where I saw that. Do you speak Italian? I don’t. Also, why announce the arrests at all if they’re just going to try and change the narrative? Why not just say he was arrested for drunk driving? Or tax fraud? Why even mention that he works at that place if they’re trying to hide it? I don’t get it. Why would they do it that way? If you let us make a sense. Further, Reuters says the crimes took place between 2015 and 2017. That’s awful specific for a cover story, usually cover stories are vague, as vague as possible. Something isn’t adding up here.

Plus again, something that was lending instant credibility to this was that someone told this to Parkes and he relays the info and then BOOM here is corroboration!

But the article predates the news being disseminated to us as something to watch out for. I mean… Anyone can read this article make up a story about it and feed it to someone to give them false information. No no. No. Somethings not adding up here.

I agree things are not adding up. The original story suggested that the UK and the Vatican were part of this, with the satellites at Leonardo being lease for this type of election manipulation for awhile, going back to the 2016 election. UK is the banking capitol of the world and what I understand the owner of the corporation certificates for the USA (which is not actually a Republic but a legal corporation.) I wonder if the fact that Italy had a whistleblower come forward if the Italian President was the fall guy. All speculation. I'd have to hunt down sources for all this, so going on memory.

OK, thank you for explaining a little more about it. At this point I’m looking for any encouragement. It’s so hard to believe that everything’s going to end this way. Really hoping that there is truth in all of these theories

I understand. Hard to be strong but now is the time to hold the line. Peace.
