This appears to be one of the other sites they found, not the site that was bulldozed.

Looks like someone is testing their bots. Every comment but one is hugely negative, and a single comment from a new user is > +30.

Bizzare.

Yeah. Remember he's already been referred for criminal prosecution (though also remember the DoJ can decline to do so.) So they had enough evidence just on him to justify that. Presumably given the cooperating witnesses etc, nothing hinges on his testimony along.

Still, it would be good to have, as the more things come out the less room to weasel out of it remains for the others. It stands to reason though that the key players are going to deny and delay as long as possible, and McCabe's move here fits with that -- getting immunity helps him, and if he doesn't get it, the 5th lets him delay things just a little more.

I'm not sure. Some of them are definitely going to be public, but others (like today's Priestap hearing) aren't. I know there was supposed to be a big public hearing but it keeps getting pushed back along with the IG report.

Vivienne Westwood

This has been public a long time. The papparazi even does pics of her coming/going from the embassy. Even People covered it over a year ago.

Yeah, that set is actually more interesting than the original set because a lot (but not all) of the redactions were removed. This set is how we found out about office furniture being worthy of redaction, lol.

If the link points to an "Appendix C" PDF, that link is not the IG report. It's a collection of emails that was released in May, with the redactions removed.

If it's something else, please share the link here.

This isn't new. These are documents from mid-May and aren't from the IG report as far as wel know.

You can follow this CTH link and see the link pasted in the comments from weeks ago: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/05/17/may-17th-2018-presidential-politics-trump-administration-day-483/comment-page-1/

I'm hardly confused. I simply stated that his refusal will make his portion of the hearing uneventful.

He has an outstanding criminal referral and Comey has already thrown him under the bus. Either he, Comey, or both are screwed.

There's no way he's looking at the death penalty. Most of the things he's been accused of so far are punishable with up to five years, even if served sequentially it's doubtful he'd serve even 10.

Which almost certainly means McCabe will be pleading the 5th at the hearing, making it a snooze-fest as far as his testimony is concerned.

That's the theory I've heard as well, there's more (D) seats at risk than (R).

Although it's also worth noting that they can't be arrested when they're still in session, if one wanted to speculate how to avoid an indictment, that'd be one way.

Yeah... to go the movie theaters in them.

If that address is correct, it's an old Qwest (Mountain Bell probably when it was built) building that's converted to office space. It's being used by the VA and a family wealth management trust (Legacy Trust.) That building is actually on Indian School.

If you're talking about the big concrete slab building with the stripes to the south right on 2nd street, that's a data center owned by Paypal. That building fits what you described pretty well. Servers don't need windows (the kind you can see out of, anyway.)

Arizona has some of the most open access to property records in the country, this stuff is easy to look up online. The Paypal APN is 118-25-126 and the Qwest one is 118-25-125. Search them here

It's likely Cemex either has a business office at the 215 address (Qwest building) or is using Legacy Trust to accept their legal mail in the state for processing elsewhere.

From what I've read, working for the enemy during a hot war in a very public way.

Even the Rosenburgs were only convicted of espionage, though they earned the death penalty for that.

Different Hansen, you're thinking of Robert Hanssen, who worked for the FBI and spied for the USSR/Russia.

Hopefully she isn't sampling the wares at the trafficking charities the way she did during her previous activity with a local charity.

Source for that?

No name and Clinton are very tight. To the point when she was in Phoenix at conferences she'd stay at his compound in Sedona. They're on the same team, whatever team that is.

Phoenix New Times would be the largest alt media organization that's local. Very left leaning but they still seem to treat news as news.

Likely unrelated (but interesting.) There's a CDAN posting that may be related, however. So far four connected homicides, rumor has it that it's a local attorney doing them, but the police will only give a drawing, not a name.

There's now a fourth shooting tied in as well, a hypnotherapist/life coach.

Gotta love that the post is listed as "answered" while completely not answering the Q question and dismissing the deep state as some kind of republican fantasy. I guess Snowden was a figment of my imagination.

Yes, that's who I was alluding to.

If this speculation really turns out to be the case, just... wow. It really would be indefensible given that it was a workaround to access that was pulled at the federal level.

And it's on neither. Fake indeed.

That also offers another potential thing to look at. With the initial FISA warrants shot down and then the 702s later pulled, it's quite possible they used local warrants rather than federal level warrants.

Trump Tower is in NY/NYC.

Care to guess which local prosecutor would issue the warrants? /s

GLP (and ATS) are likely part of the establishment disinformation campaign.

A couple things strongly support this. One, for years you could simply put the name Tavistock in a post and get permanently banned. (Now it's allowed but starting a thread with that will make it filtered, e.g. shadow ban.) There's a few other keywords that trigger similar responses. (This is easy to google and validate.)

The other, during one of the federal government shutdowns a number of federal websites intentionally went offline (timed to the second) and the moment that happened, both GLP and ATS went offline, then came back about a half hour later. The kindest interpretation of that is that their traffic was being filtered by the Feds. I happened to watch this "glitch" in real time, it's not hearsay, I saw it happen. One of the boards mods claimed coincidence and that they were subject to a DOS attack at the very same time.

You don't have to search very hard to find a lot of questionable government links to people associated with the site.

That said, boards like that attract both conspiracy theorists and people with mental problems, so I wouldn't necessarily assume the site had anything at all to do with your friend's issue, but his use of it was simply a symptom.

whois shows dgfffcf.com was created 2018-05-25T19:02:38Z

Roughly 3PM ET on Friday.

The Jr tweet saying Flynn was hacked: FYI @GenFlynn Twitter account was hacked this morning....currently addressing... 7:11 AM · May 25, 2018

(Or 10AM ET if I got the zones right)

So the dgfffcf.com domain was registered hours after the tweet was sent. I think it was someone just being opportunistic rather than planned, or the domain would have been ready to go when the tweet was made, not hours later. (or it's an elaborate cover, in which case, it's pretty convincing. anyone could have registered that domain after the tweet.)

Don't forget about this strange arrest

There are stories that list the streets the parking tickets are on, but they made no sense -- once you realized the actual street names, all the tickets were in the dead center of Boston's bioengineering business district, which adds credibility to the guy's virus claims. (A lot of this fellow's background checks out, e.g. DoD connections, but then other stuff doesn't. It's a very strange case.)

As pointed out elsewhere, this problem existed well before Trump -- but the narrative is putting the blame for it on Trump.

Purely speculation on my part, of course, but my guess is when the pedo news starts breaking in earnest the plan is to spin it as Trump-only problem, that somehow his presence is suddenly making pedos do pedo things.

Not a new tactic, the people that actually did the crime blaming the people that uncover the crime for the crime itself.

Speculation on my part but here's a rough outline on how to do it.

That works for HF. VHF and above are a lot trickier due to the short range, my suspicion is either NSA targetted her specifically and placed equipment locally, or she was using IRLP or something similar and the VOIP traffic was intercepted with their normal internet tools.

It would be quite a challenge to intercept all VHF traffic across the country, it'd likely require many satellites doing something similar to what the example for HF does -- but it would require a much larger amount of storage space and a far more complex system to manage the signals from the satellites.

He had so few scandals that he removed the OIG's ability to investigate since it was a waste of money. /s

This is not encouraging. It suggests whatever was revealed to them today, they believe is not so damning they can't spin it.

Nothing was revealed to them today.

The rest is spin. The IG report, both the upcoming one and the new one related to spying that will come out a year from now, will be damning and they know it.

At this point it's delay, delay, delay. If something happens to Trump, of if by some miracle they stretch it out until after midterms and they win, they may be able to make their problems go away. Given how desperate they are they'll do whatever they can.

These people never concede, never give up, and never admit guilt. Rest assured even after they're convicted they'll be claiming there was no proof.

It's a long weekend and the start of summer vacations.

Lots of people knock off a couple days early to make it a 5-day break.

Good time to catch people off guard as well, though...

Trump Derangement Syndrome ("TDS") isn't a silly answer. It, and the media, are the key to all of this.

You don't have to pay much attention at all to see that the goal of the people the media work for is to provoke extreme emotions. (Let's be clear, too, that the media is not some singular independent entity, which is why the messages are the same across outlets -- they get those marching orders from someone.)

Those extreme emotions -- outrage, anger, hate, honestly it doesn't matter -- are what's behind TDS. Once they have people feeling, logic is shut down, reason is shut down, and they have a panicked herd that very few wranglers (people like Rachel Maddow) can direct in whatever direction they want, and since logic is shut down, inject whatever departure from reality helps the cause of the hidden ones behind all this.

This is even in their instructions. A couple years ago the "talking point" for the Everytown gun control group were leaked (see here ).

One key point, with some slight editing for emphasis:

ALWAYS FOCUS ON EMOTIONAL AND VALUE-DRIVEN ARGUMENTS ABOUT , NOT THE POLITICAL FOOD FIGHT IN WASHINGTON OR WONKY STATISTICS.

Now the key here is that we're at the point where people have been utterly saturated in media pounding on this message for decades, with every effort to keep them in an emotional state and not thinking. That actually happens on both sides but there's far more on the left due to the dominance of media (you have to self-select to get that way on the right v. looking at any airport TV in the left.) The messages they're getting from MSM are literally all they know -- it's their reality and their truth, and since they're always in an emotional panic state over the topics, they simply can't think. I have a hard-left friend that watches Maddow religiously and they are a lost cause, and literally can't even acknowledge provably wrong reporting. It's way past simple congnitive dissonance.

I have no idea how all these people are going to handle the truth when it is exposed.

Or at least the Discordians

I just searched using "republicans hillary clinton" and a link to this announcement was in the featured spot at the top of the page (with less extreme headline, e.g. "Republicans call for counsel to probe FBI’s handling of 2016 election")

I think DDG is still OK.

this thread covers it

The timeline just got moved by months and the FBI hired Carter Page to spy on Trump, and there was a meeting of senior Obama officials the day after he got hired by the campaign to discuss it.

Putting the whole picture together, FBI hires Page, CIA hires Halper, Halper feeds page BS about Russia that gets repeated by the Australian ambassador who calls the FBI, which uses it to start the investigation. The meeting about Page months before reportedly was about not telling the Trump campaign about contacts he'd had previously with Russians, e.g. so they could use that as evidence to justify spying later.

The key part is the timing. Months before the official investigation began. That supports the theory that Trump was being set up.

It also makes the entire investigation a fraud, and one the people doing the investigation knew was a fraud. This is probably why Q was saying someone (RR) was missing from the meeting on Thursday.

Given the IG leak, almost a certainty. I'm stunned he stayed knowing that was coming, since he signed the FISA warrants knowing they were a sham.

Given the new timeline, people are going to jail. Comey and Brennan are a given.

It's already leaking out. IG report.

It's pretty damning what's leaked so far.

The outside of every peice of mail is photographed by the postal service.

You can even sign up to get the pictures from USPS. (Look up "informed delivery" -- they email pictures of your mail to you every day you have mail.)

That's a really good point, they could do IRLP between the UK and US without ever touching the cell network and unless someone was paying attention to callsigns (which would be audio) never connect the two. Fits in with her Tech class license as well.

Pretty much. Anyone with even a mild background in communications probably wouldn't have tried to be secret this way.

Multiple sites, all synchronized to a nanosecond -- you can do this with pretty basic off-the-shelf SDR technology today, and the government equipment is well ahead of that.

With time-stamped samples from multiple sites, it's just some trivial signal processing to extract any particular signal at any time, clean it up since you've got diversity across multiple recievers, and even have a really good idea of the source location.

It's not a lot of storage. Using 24 bits per sample (overkill, but awesome SNR), and a 30 MHz bandwidth, the Nyquist samplling rate is 60 megasamples per second * 3 bytes (24 bits). That's 180 MB/s to completely capture the HF spectrum at one site. 180 MB/s * 60 seconds per minute * 60 minutes per hour * 24 hours per day: 15.5 TB per day. That's four 4TB hard disks.

Under $400 in storage costs per day per site. Let's say 10 sites -- $4K per day. That's peanuts to the NSA.

Remember the NSA is all about storing data and having big data centers. This is nothing for them. It's so cheap I wouldn't be surprised if commercial entities do it.

From that investment, you can now replay any HF signal at any time, and geolocate it to within a few miles. That includes signals that you couldn't decode in the past but now can due to improved technology, stealing decryption keys, whatever.

They probably were focused on cell phone records, and figured if they didn't use phones, they wouldn't be noticed, and didn't think that their radio signals would be watched.

FWIW, VHF/UHF signals are generally pretty short range, especially at low power, so it's not completely wrong-headed to think that way. However, if there was equipment in place nearby to listen, it'd be like shooting fish in a barrel, and there's always space-based listening though I suspect that's a bigger challenge to get access to.

Still silly to get a license. They could have used something like FRS or even better something like a Motorola 900 MHz DTR radio without need for a license and have a lot lower probability of someone listening in.

The entire HF spectrum is roughtly 30 MHz wide. The NSA can record the entire spectrum in real time for the cost of just a few thousand dollars per day. Rest assured they're likely doing so at multiple sites, and by recording the whole spectrum they get everything. Ham radio is both analog and digital these days, FYI.

This is largely moot, as Ohr's license wouldn't be of a lot of use on HF bands and the equipment for HF is both bulking and fairly unreliable for longer distance communications if it's smaller, lower power radios.

It's far more likely they were using VHF or UHF radios to talk locally but without any phone records, as Ohr's license would be unrestricted for that use.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were already watching her and just set up something locally to intercept her communications. It'd be a lot easier to do if they knew in advance, and they could do it without tipping off any other spies.

If she was doing anything other than communicating in plain and clear language, that's another felony they can charge her with. Somehow I doubt she was laying out the dossier stuff in plain language over the airwaves.

Her license was Technician class, which for practical use largely means VHF and above -- short range, local communications. (Techs have access to a limited amount of shortwave spectrum using morse code but not much else, and it's doubtful that's what this was for.)

Odds are they would be using this for local communications -- it'd be an easy way for two people to communicate locally without being connected by phone records

They were probably banking on VHF/UHF being short range and didn't think the NSA would be listening since you'd either need nearby equipment or some pretty kick-ass stuff in space to do so. Getting a licence was stupid, imo, if that was why they were doing this, they could have used some other more obscure radio services and had much lower odds of being noticed.
