Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, has been doing this. The Biden White House being one of the moast egregious number 17 abusers of late. It amounts to frequency jamming at this point. They can't control anons but they can damn sure broadcast white noise in an attempt to mislead and sow confusion amongst our ranks. And that is precisely what they are doing. Occurrences of the number 17 in the wild are to be disregarded until further notice.
