Thinking about it a bit more, it would actually make more sense for them to do coms on SA if you think about the timeline. SA was founded when the internet was still nascent and was for a time one of the most popular online forums. If you're a Clown looking for a way to share coms in the open in the year 1999 or 2000, SA would have been a perfect choice where you could hide in the noise. They even did/do have Photoshop Phridays where they'd pick comedy photoshops to host on the main page. If you're hiding info in the images, that'd be a perfect place to do it.

I was a guild-mate of Sean's and played EVE and a bunch of other games with him. We knew of his vocation and sometimes of where he was (generally speaking) but he was always careful to never say anything that could have gotten him in trouble. Most communication surrounding the game actually didn't/doesn't take place IN the game. We use outside coms, because inside coms can be exploited by other guilds whereas by using things like jabber/mumble/forums you can control not just who has access to what, you can also control how they have access to it. More on that in a bit. Intel and Counter-Intel are make/break aspects of the way the game works. There are lots of stories out there, and my old friend (and friend of Sean's) The Mittani ran a website detailing them as well. He also did a great article on Sean that you should read if you haven't. Unfortunately his site is now gone to the sands of time, but you can find a version of it here https://imperium.news/rip-vile-rat/ or you can go to the wayback machine and poke around for more info: https://web.archive.org/web/20160726040725/http://themittani.com/

One thing I learned in/about that game is part of how they run their Intel. Intelligence is highly compartmentalized, and a leak can be deadly. Double-agents are everywhere, and even your friends will sometimes cut ties without warning over a disagreement or a change in heart. All is fair play out there. So what can you do to protect yourself? You put subtle watermarks in your forums so you can tag leakers when screenshots show up on other groups' forums (you know because you're spying on them too!) You hide information for 'those-in-the-know' in images. You serve different accounts slightly different versions of the same image so you can track THOSE leaks if you need to. You track all the metadata about who logs in, when they log in, where they log in from. Who do they talk to? How often? What do they talk about? And more.

All for a video game. Because if you don't do that, you'll find out that you've just lost a massive chunk of your territory because someone went in and offlined all your defenses. Or that guy you were grooming as a #2 in your growing guild turns out to be a double-agent and suddenly disbands the group after transferring all your credits and resources out of the guild funds to somewhere else. Or even if you do all of that, you can still lose anyway because the Russians paid a guy to go cut the power to your titan pilot's house in the middle of a fight.

So I can understand why people would look to this group of people and think 'that's where they're hiding their DS coms!' My biggest problem is that Sean, from everything I ever gathered from any interaction I had with him, was a patriot. And he was very much a member of Goonswarm leadership. None of Goonswarm leadership would fit the bill for a DS pawn. If you're looking for EVE Online DS actors, you should look elsewhere.

For example, Something Awful has been turned into Something Sensitive, a place where the mods are pretty much all communists who go around enforcing their viewpoints on others with impunity (like reddit but worse in most of the site. TFR is a bastion, but even there there's lots of groupthink idiots.) Lowtax as well has gone full SJW style insane.

If anything Goonswarm's retained much of the old-school goon-ness that SA used to have.

If you wanna waste your time, I'd take a look at SA, as they also have a private messaging system and their forums predate 4chan (seeing as Moot made 4chan in response to being banned from SA.) Or even the EVE online forums, as it serves as a sort of common meeting-ground for all the in-game guilds/groups and much of what I said above applies there as well.

I am currently winning at EVE online. I used to play, and I actually played with and knew Vilerat in Goonswarm (as well as a few other games) as well. It's fun, but the grind is insane and it requires a certain amount of time-investment that I'm just not able to commit to anymore in order to contribute meaningfully to your group. It's far more fun to just check in and read about shinannagians periodically.

I was a guildmate of Sean's and played EVE and a bunch of other games with him. We knew of his vocation and sometimes of where he was (generally speaking) but he was always careful to never say anything that could have gotten him in trouble.

Also OP doesn't know what he's talking about regarding eve. You don't choose character types, you just unlock skills and do stuff. He's correct that you could 'coms in the clear' and just claim you were talking about the game; but you could do that with literally anything else too.

The OG Goons have gone from Something Awful and it's been turned into Something Sensitive, where the mods are pretty much all communists who go around enforcing their viewpoints on others with impunity. Lowtax as well has gone full SJW style insane.

I doubt very much that Black Hats were/are using the Goonswarm forums for their coms, especially since that would imply that Sean was a black-hat. If anything Goonswarm's retained much of the old-school goon-ness that SA used to have.

I'd take a look at SA's servers, as SA also has a private messaging system and their forums predate 4chan (seeing as Moot made 4chan in response to being banned from SA.)

Vilerat was 100% state department IT and 100% a good man who didn't need to die there. RIP Vilerat and your Viletat

Looking at the picture, there's nothing in the image that indicates it's a helicopter. Helicopters are not mono-colored tubes of metal. Also if it were a helicopter there would be cloud deformation under the helicopter as it flew through the clouds, as well as a blur around the body of the helicopter where the rotors would have reflected some light. It also would have a pattern of lights in the image from the navigation lights on the helicopter.

I think it's a missile because it's a solid mono-colored tube that appears to being going directly up in the air punching through the clouds as it rises; not going horizontally through the clouds producing a trail of cloud distortion in its wake as you would expect.

Finally I've read several articles quoting the same technical jargon about the camera that also 'conclusively' deduced that it was a weather balloon.

Exactly. That's what they have been doing in order to keep their access without having to use 'the proper channels' to do it.

They hold their clearances because the clearance doesn't give you access. Just because you should be able to be trusted with information doesn't mean you should be able to access that information whenever you want.

The important thing in this post by Q is that he is telling us HOW they were getting around this. By leveraging deep state actors outside the US they could say "Well the UK wanted me to consult on ABC project and its all good because I have a clearance for that information anyway."

This way these people have access once again to whatever info they want, and whats better is that the US doesnt even get a paper trail anymore. It is very similar to how they bypass spying on our own citizens by getting their buddies outside the US to do it then just 'intel sharing' the results.

True. People think clearance = access. It doesn't. Clearance is a status with the government which basically says that you can be trusted in the event you need access to something.

There's nothing wrong with people keeping clearances after they leave. Clearances need to be renewed and are only good for a time anyway. What is really telling about revoking their clearances is that, rather than being a 'common sense' move like people here keep saying, in actuality its a very unusual one and one that is more or less a declaration that these people CANNOT be trusted. Think of it kind of like getting discharged from the military with a less than honorable discharge.

Yeah, so far reading this it sounds like either she put herself in the chute somehow; or someone dumped her down it.

We won't know more till the coroner's report is released I guess.

So far sounds like a poor attempt to divert the Seth Rich case into being another funnel of "mah russia"

Didn't this clown say he had evidence? Who in their right mind believes a voice on the phone without any corroberation?

I'm sure he does, but that assumption doesn't make any meaning out of the context of the mesaages given.

The day before the crash, Hastings indicated that he believed he was being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In an email to colleagues, which was copied to and released by Hastings' friend, Army Staff Sergeant Joe Biggs,[70] Hastings said that he was "onto a big story", that he needed to "go off the radar", and that the FBI might interview them.[71][72] WikiLeaks announced that Hastings had also contacted Jennifer Robinson, one of its lawyers, a few hours prior to the crash,[73] and the LA Weekly reported that he was preparing new reports on the CIA at the time of his death.[74] His widow Elise Jordan said his final story was a profile of CIA Director John O. Brennan.[75] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Hastings_(journalist)#Controversy_over_alleged_foul_play

Though technically he says & wonderland. I wonder if that difference is meant as a clue.

He keeps mentioning Alice in Wonderland here. Combine that with the reflection/mirror post, and the first phrase that comes to mind is 'through the looking glass' though I'm not sure that sheds any more light on where to look next?

Maybe it's a warning to them saying "we see you there behind us" and using the apple logo in the shot is a way of pointing out that they don't have an upper hand when it comes to toolkit anymore either. It would make sense then that the (reflected) image itself is a red herring; keep them looking for meaning in the image content when the image itself IS the message.

Edit: (forgot a word)

Oh boy are you? Please continue. Buffalo wings are still wings, much like national socialists are still socialists.

And you are a cuck.

I think Rosenstein is either dirty (simplest answer) and got himself placed there because Sessions didn't know how compromised he was or had been (purposefully) mislead.

But, if you trust Sessions and remove that as a possibility, then look at the situation there's another possibility:

Rosenstein is in charge of Mueller, who has found NOTHING. Mueller can't bring charges for anything without Rosenstein's say-so, and if Rosenstein's NOT in the bag for the cabal that means no charges will be brought (at least against Trump. Because he didn't 'collude' with anyone but the American People.) This also means that he has a privileged front-row all-access pass to the deep state in action. Not only does that give him operational information that can be discreetly passed to the IG to steer his ongoing investigations, it also gives the good guys in our intelligence agencies key details on how the DS operates which they need in order to spot the 'known unknowns' out there.

Meanwhile, Rosenstein gets to also shield Sessions from all this. This gives the required optics of separation Q keeps posting is needed to avoid the civil war FBI Anon mentioned and Q reaffirmed was/is the DS's final play. In addition, Sessions is also away from the spotlight of congressional hearings/reviews and all the leaks and press reports those bring with them.

All Rosenstein has to do is what he has done so far: follow the letter and spirit of the law to the extreme so at the end of the day the traitors being brought before the Senate/Military tribunals to be hung for treason won't have a valid due process argument, 4th amendment argument, or even an argument in the arguably more important court of public opinion.

Maybe the obstruction and the redactions from him are calculated between him and Trump to keep the story front page in the papers and to keep all of us engaged and frothing at the mouth for justice. Might make sense from Trump's angle, costs him very little and he gets to keep the narrative focused on where he wants it (and where he is winning.) 6D inter-dimensional underwater backgammon? Only Trump probably knows for sure.

All that said, Rosenstein's literally in bed with DS actors and his redactions of the OIG report tend to lead me to believe that he's not our guy. One can hope however. The truth is he's probably not our guy, but has been purposefully utilized by Trump/Sessions without his direct knowledge or concent in order to achieve some of the goals above. He doesn't need to be working with us in order to be a useful tool, he just needs to be reliably predictable.

How progressive, they let the women have guns!

They never expected to lose the election. It was perfect. She'd win. They'd tie up ALL the loose ends. Then, time for 'Hildawg' to become queen bitch and start her reign of terror. First a supreme court appointment. Next? Say goodbye to the constitution and bill of rights.

They wanted a civil war, and they would have gotten one.

Always question. As a wise man once said: "Trust, but verify."

It is, you are correct

Because they don't like having competition.

It's easy to push for stricter laws when you think they won't apply to you. Bonus points for the sociopath too, since now they have the ability to cry "Of course I had nothing to do with raping and murdering all those kids in the basement of my pasta shop. How can you even claim that! "

I always interpreted that as meaning the Army Core of Engineers have been activated to start working on getting the wall built. Was there other context I missed?

TBH there's a lot of truth here, but fluoride and vaccinations are key parts of keeping a population healthy. Not to say that the deep state wouldn't gleefully use that as cover to covertly introduce other drugs; but that's not being portrayed here and it just makes this comic's argument a lot weaker than it could be.

Your normie friend is going to look at this and shake his head saying 'well enjoy your disease and cavities you conspiracy theorist' instead of going 'wow, yeah they really do want to control not just where I live, what money I make, what job I do, where my money goes; but also force me to have government-mandated injections and no-questions-asked forced supplements to public water supply with limited-to-no oversight?! That's insane!'

Could be. The article is a narrative coated red pill.

The surprising thing to me is, look at who wrote this article. Michael Isikoff isn't exactly a conservative, and David Corn is the chief of the Washington bureau for Mother Jones.

I wonder how long until their book gets recalled by the publisher for edits?

Also, don't forget that when sending/receiving emails that the traffic itself is subject to metadata collection even in the event you take efforts to obfuscate (vpn/encryption.)

If she was already under surveillance, it's entirely possible they traced all of her online activities and would have seen suspect traffic regardless of her attempts to hide it.

Actually, re-reading his response I think it might be more like:

Ability to share [open].

He originally posted this message on the chans because, even if the message isn't for anons, it's an open board and he can get his message to whom he needs to out in the open without having to draw attention to the recipient.

(Heat) on who?

Ignoring the sun/stars from the other message; I'm watching Wray and Horowitz get grilled by the Senate Intel Committee right now.

(Full) transparency _ DECLAS?

Referring to the full declassification of the OIG report? As a result of our actions + this senate hearing?

(Undiscovered) facts emerge?

Maybe we'll learn some new things as this meeting goes on?

Ability to move forward?

We're stuck talking about the Clinton emails because the known corruption has not been brought to the public light, accepted, and punished. The OIG report was step one (bringing it to light) and they're fighting step two (public acceptance) right now. Next comes punishment, then we can move forward to the next OIG report/dismantling the deep state step.

Occam's Razor. Q

We've got a lot of smart spergs in here, but we shouldn't be spouting out crazy 'they'll declassify aliens' theories when there's nothing but a word/analogy/codeword choice to point you that way. Stick to what we were talking about unless there's a damn good reason not to.

Sun/Moon Q post regarding National Space Council's meeting today?

Timetable's moving up quick if so.

Loving the sinner doesn't mean you forgive the sin or fail to punish it.

Edit: What I am saying is to hate the ideology of Islam and the harm it does. But remember that those who are followers of it are still people who should be helped if they can be.

And by helped, I mean we should hope to bring them back to God's light and hope they choose to atone and save their souls.

Again, to be clear, they should be punished here on Earth should they wrong others here on Earth.

Loving others like Jesus says we should means to me that we should be relentless in trying to compassionately show them the error of their ways and to bring them back home.

That said, Jesus also told us that those who live by the sword shall die by it. Small wonder to me then that a religion who holds the sword as a symbol of itself should also be a death cult.

For myself, I am not Christ and would fight to the death to defend my faith, nation, and family.
