Going Commando Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Thinking out loud: Russia has positioned themselves as the flag bearers for fascism and white nationalism. The protectors of white christian identity. Trumpy white supremacists and right wingers in the United States and in Europe see white supremacy as being under an existential threat and protecting it as their raison d'etre in politics. They see a friend and an ideal in Russia. It's telling that Russia sees their path to restored prominence in persuading disaffected, racially motivated right wing whites on the internet. White birthrates are in decline basically every where in the world. We're headed for an Asian century. Grabbing and consolidating as much power for white nationalist right wing regimes is the only thing that matters to these partisans. Russia would gladly destroy the environment and democracy if it means they'll preserve their power. American white nationalists would gladly do the same here. The Trumpy right wing of American politics are now pulling the rest of the right wing with them. We are on a path to civil war with them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DogofWar1 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Just for fun, if anyone is familiar with the SCP-Foundation (which is a website that basically posts about fake anomalous entities and containing them), this article has a familiar name waaaaayyyyyyy down in it. http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1730 So if you've got an hour to kill could be a fun read.

SoulSkin Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Something I unfortunately learned from personal experience is that people who take their own lives do not leave notes far more often than those that do. I'm always skeptical when I see reports of notes when someone dies under suspicious circumstances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 11 minutes ago, BenningRoadSkin said: Haven't read the article, but I've seen claims like this in the past. I've read comments (and they make sense, to me) that point out that a DNS lookup actually indicates next to nothing about any extent of communication between computers. Because there are lots of things that can trigger a completely innocent, and completely automatic, lookup. All a DNS lookup indicates is that "Computer X (or somebody on Computer X) asked for the phone number for Computer Y". It could indicate, for example, that "Donald@Trump.org" sent email to "collusion@Russia.mob" Or it could indicate that a spammer in China sent a Viagra advertisement to "Donald@Trump.org" that claims to be from "fakeaddress@Russia.mob". One of the ways computer systems fight spam is, when they receive an email from IP address 1.2.3.4, that claims to be from "user@fake.website" is to do a DNS lookup on "fake.website", to see if 1.2.3.4 is really one of their email servers. I assume that there are lots of other forms of background, automatic, computer events which will trigger a DNS lookup, without any human at all actually attempting to contact a particular computer. So I wouldn't regard it as any kind of smoking gun. (Especially since, IMO, we actually have already had smoking guns, when it comes to Trump and Russia.)

skinny21 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Larry, I’d read the article. I do agree though that it doesn’t appear to be a smoking gun exactly... but there’s a lot there. Whole bunch of credible experts, and the article addresses the numerous potential innocuous explanations (none of them plausible, I believe).
