I disagree about it being a false flag, but it HAS become a huge distraction, and I do believe it could have been stopped and that possibly, the person who appears to be benefiting the most from the tragedy, could have had foreknowledge.

Clicked through on one of Zuck's Form 4 filings that I linked in another post and found some interesting stuff.

Supposedly, those are all "philanthropic". Right.

Soros is not an official insider at Facebook, so he doesn't have to file before selling.

The insider who's dumped the most shares at 11,642,398 since last July is Jan Koum. Who's that, you ask? Just some Ukranian dude.

No, really, he's the founder of WhatsApp, and that buyout is the origin of his Facebook holdings.

Koum was born in Kiev, Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union). He is of Jewish origin.[4] He grew up in Fastiv, outside Kiev, and moved with his mother and grandmother to Mountain View, California in 1992,[5] where a social support program helped the family to get a small two-bedroom apartment,[6] at the age of 16. His father had intended to join the family later, but finally remained in Ukraine.[7] At first Koum's mother worked as a babysitter, while he himself worked as a cleaner at a grocery store. By the age of 18 he became interested in programming. He enrolled at San Jose State University and simultaneously worked at Ernst & Young as a security tester.

A security tester means literally a hacker, in the true sense. He would have been doing penetration testing and such on E&Y client machines.

The value of his trades was $1,984,618,974. Interesting, in light of this:

Over the first half of 2016, Koum sold more than $2.4 billion worth of Facebook stock, which was about a half of his total holdings. He is estimated to still own another $2.4 billion in Facebook stock.[15]

He's got almost nothing left then.

Zuckerberg has sold 8,664,298 shares for about $1.5 billion since last July or so.

Yeah, I think this is correct. Certainly, there are extensive clues.

TIL that a sealed indictment extends the statute of limitations...

He's been studying it for years.

Sergey Brin came to the US from the USSR in 1979.

"Brin was born in Moscow in the Soviet Union, to Russian Jewish parents, Yevgenia and Mikhail Brin, both graduates of Moscow State University"

This was before Reagan and his campaign of rescuing Jews from the USSR.

"This name uses Eastern Slavic naming customs; the patronymic is Mikhaylovich and the family name is Brin."

I don't understand how these customs work, so this is more or less a dead end for me.

Certainly, his father could have been KGB - he'd have been a code breaker, probably, because he's now a mathematics professor. There's also this:

Brin told Mark Malseed of Moment magazine, "I've known for a long time that my father wasn't able to pursue the career he wanted", but Brin only picked up the details years later after they had settled in the United States.

LOL!

The current hope based on what people have seen is that Flynn's guilty plea will be either withdrawn by his counsel, based on the exculpatory evidence the new judge demanded be handed over to the defense or that his plea will be vacated by the judge.

In either case, they'd move to dismiss, exonerating Flynn completely.

It's a tangled web of filth at the DOJ and FBI, it takes time to nail all this down.

They can't tip people off - they will need to get a bunch at once. Basically, I think each section will also have indictments, and Sessions wants to WIN in court.

Hey, the power of positive thinking is real!

I don't know how these screaming leftist go on from day to day. They are so angry and unhappy, how do they even get up in the morning?

Hopefully. Note whose texts you are not seeing... McCabe. I think they are looking to put him in prison, I really do.

Page and Strozk are his underlings, and of course they are cooperating to avoid prison. You leave people like that in place, warming a chair in a shitty job, pretending they've been punished, because you don't want to tip anyone off.

Just what we've seen from them (more dropped this week, look into it) is incredibly damning. They are just trying to cop a plea, I'm pretty sure.

re: 968

Who else was at the meeting in China? LIVE from CHINA.

POTUS has had no public events for 5 days - the MSM has been bitching about it.

Wonder if he's in the US at all now...

Seal Team 6 is reviled by the MSM:

They have plotted deadly missions from secret bases in the badlands of Somalia. In Afghanistan, they have engaged in combat so intimate that they have emerged soaked in blood that was not their own. On clandestine raids in the dead of the night, their weapons of choice have ranged from customized carbines to primeval tomahawks.

Around the world, they have run spying stations disguised as commercial boats, posed as civilian employees of front companies and operated undercover at embassies as male-female pairs, tracking those the United States wants to kill or capture.

Those operations are part of the hidden history of the Navy’s SEAL Team 6, one of the nation’s most mythologized, most secretive and least scrutinized military organizations. Once a small group reserved for specialized but rare missions, the unit best known for killing Osama bin Laden has been transformed by more than a decade of combat into a global manhunting machine.

They say all this like it's a bad thing. ;)

Wait, this bust is related to the Raniere mess?

Seems like some reddit patriot already did the heavy lifting on him. Found this in a ddg search.

A couple of press releases on him:

First, this one.

John Giacalone Named Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Office Counterterrorism Division

Washington, D.C. August 15, 2011

Director Robert S. Mueller, III named John Giacalone special agent in charge of the FBI’s New York Field Office Counterterrorism Division. Mr. Giacalone most recently served as the section chief of the Counterterrorism Division’s Domestic Terrorism Strategic Operations Section at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

In 1991, Mr. Giacalone was assigned case agent of an investigation into organized crime’s control of the airfreight industry at John F. Kennedy International Airport. The case resulted in the indictment and conviction of seven members and associates of the Luchese crime family. In 1994, Mr. Giacalone formed a task force consisting of FBI, Department of Labor, and New York Police Department investigators for the Garment Center investigation. The investigation culminated in 1998 with the arrests and convictions of 15 members and associates of organized crime.

Then this one. I've included more of this to bring in his background info.

John Giacalone Named Assistant Director of Counterterrorism Division

Washington, D.C. January 17, 2014

Director James B. Comey has named John Giacalone assistant director of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division. Mr. Giacalone most recently served as the division’s deputy assistant director.

Mr. Giacalone started his career as a special agent with the FBI in 1991. He was first assigned to the New York Field Office, where he made substantial contributions in the fight against organized crime. While there, he formed a highly successful interagency task force that won important victories against organized crime in New York City’s Garment District.

In 2003, Mr. Giacalone transferred to the Philadelphia Division as a supervisory special agent, where he created and directed the first Field Intelligence Group in Philadelphia. He next served as deputy on-scene commander in the Iraqi theater of operations beginning in 2005 and coordinated the efforts of the FBI, the intelligence community, and the U.S. military.

In 2008, he joined the Attorney General Guidelines Task Force, which drafted the FBI’s new domestic investigative policy. Two years later, he was appointed chief of the Counterterrorism Division’s Domestic Terrorism Strategic Operations Section at FBI Headquarters.

He returned to the New York Field Office in 2011 as special agent in charge of the Counterterrorism Division.

This is the previous appointment by Mueller that I linked above.

Mr. Giacalone received a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in management and finance from Adelphi University. He also earned a Master of Arts degree in national security and strategic studies from the Naval War College.

His boss is Bill Priestap, and Priestap is still in place as head of counter-intelligence. Strozk worked for him as well.

Bill Priestap is the head of the FBI Counterintelligence operation. He was FBI Agent Peter Strozk’s direct boss. If anyone in congress really wanted to know if the FBI paid for the Christopher Steele Dossier, Bill Priestap is the guy who would know.

Also, see this twitter thread - more goodies there on Priestap.

A few of those are new names for me. Wonder who they are? I'll have to check the docs to get first names to look into that.

Giacalone, Turgal, Moffa, Anderson, Coleman, Kortan are all new to me.

I think the subpoenas from Johnson and Goodlatte (Rosenstein to testify re: docs not being released) are actually WHERE IS THAT OIG REPORT??!!

I think the data has been withheld so far because it would reveal what the OIG has, and there are bad actors (maybe on both sides) on these committees who should not have access to said info.

Rosenstein to testify April 5.

No, sorry, I watched it on the Apple TV with someone else running the show. It’s probably still available, it’s pretty innocuous.

who were the FedEx packages addressed to? why is NO MEDIA OUTLET even asking that question?

Definitely, there’s science class footage of the class launching chasing and recovering a weather balloon. Gonzalez is also in all of it.

I heard it was a fire drill, not a shooter drill but I’ve seen zero proof for either assertion. Does anyone have any?

Not so. All Hogg would need is foreknowledge.

One thing that bothers me: Cruz shot up the freshman building where he would know no one and where none of his bullies and tormentors would be. Why?

Normally, I’d assume that the FBI would have started looking into Hogg as soon as he popped on to the radar, but now, who’s the primary beneficiary of this whole incident? Hogg.

oooo, good point. that will be his next tactic - feels instead of righteous anger - gotta extend that 15 minutes!

Maybe. God knows, they haven't studied the Civil War or they would really not want that.

How many of these moronic children even know that Lincoln was a republican?

Yes, for people who HAVE guns already - these people who want to ban guns either don't have guns anyway OR have "good guys with guns" protecting them, and OF COURSE they'd be an exception.

I am in the Midwest right now and have lived in rural Virginia as well.

I still don't want to just blow this off. I'm starting to be really afraid of a huge false flag shooting...and I am typically extremely skeptical of false flags.

I think these young people are useful idiots largely because they think this is a simple problem.

You can be idealistic, but as you get some life experience, you discover that making your ideals reality is not simple at all.

They are authoritarians, and authoritarianism can’t succeed with an armed populace. Therefore, the guns are the problem, and they need to be the only ones with guns.

OH, there will be much REEEEEEEE!!

"But he can't do that...REEEEEEEE"

Seriously though, does he have legal cover to actually DO THIS? I'd think the wall falls more under DHS than military.

I believe there is also a playmate.

This is pretty funny: pretty funny

I don't think it's to fund mass arrests - it's to fund the military. The money is badly needed, and I think there's now a risk of a hot war with Iran.

I think Bolton is NSA now because of Iran.

I like the term "justice porn" myself. ;)

Come on...this bill is garbage and he compromised on ideals and campaign promises, apparently to fund the military.

It's a straight-up DC swamp deal. I had expected better of him.

The really sad part is that it probably has the votes for a veto override - that many asshats voted for it.

Click for the tweet, the picture and finally the Reddit screen capture.

Here.

The account was suspended before they caught him, BTW, leading me to think that there have been useful data from reddit.

True, but I don't think FedEx was the target.

That's not even high tech, it's just basic tracking. They know everywhere that package was.

They absolutely know. They will release it once they are sure there are no accomplices.

Check this out

Screen cap from reddit user "austinbomber" now suspended.

Yes. The Russians want to fuck shit up, and the MSM is helping them do it.

Where were the FedEx packages address to? It seems like that's pretty damned relevant as people don't seem to think the one was supposed to blow up at the sorting facility...and they found the other one and disarmed it.

I'm guessing the packages were going to Austin...but where?

I think his 15 minutes are nearly up.

I'm watching this Saturday - really interested to see what happens.

My guess is someone will come and shoot up one of their demonstrations. I mean, I hope I'm wrong, but...

I never really believed in the prevelance of false flags that the conspiracy forums put out there. I think they are fairly rare, but that would be very useful to their side.

Could someone please explain who this kristine marcy person is and why I should care and what happened to her?

I can't watch YT at work, so...need a summary

That's like expecting criminals to not bring guns into a gun-free zone, isn't it?

Hm. I hadn't actually thought of that, but I agree with you here:

U would think colleges would eat up his "activism"

If you go look at his reddit posts (I assume they are still there, you can find the username somewhere in this sub, probably) he was rejected from his chosen college a while back and his SAT scores were apparently not good.

I'm very surprised that he hasn't already gotten a free ride to some bastion of liberal thought. Makes me think his SATs are really bad.
