Fancy Bear---was that topic being researched by Yoel Roth?  

2014

Y. Roth (2014), Locating the "Scruff Guy": Theorizing body and space in gay geosocial media. International Journal of Communication 8. (PDF)

This article offers a critical examination of the smartphone application Scruff, a gay geosocial networking service targeted primarily at bears that boasts a user base of more than five million individuals in more than 180 countries. Using a case study of gay geosocial networking, the article argues for a theoretical reworking of the relationships among embodiment, space, and digital media. Geosocial services such as Scruff, by virtue of their emphasis on bodies and locations that can be accessed offline, complicate notions that online interactions are displaced, disembodied, and ethereal. By layering a virtual, but still spatialized network of users atop existing physical locations, Scruff straddles the online–offline divide and indicates how bodies, places, and identities are discursively constructed through the interplay of virtual and physical experience.

Who knew? 

Maybe it was the bear community that cracked Hillary's e-mails. 

Or possibly, some Chicago Bears. 

Ask Yoel Roth! 

I thought you said RussiaGate was a hoax?  A Russian hacker penetrated the DNC computers and staged the e-mails for exfiltration by, according to Assange, non-state actors.

Can’t admit error, Ben?

Here's what Russia Gate actually happened people say: 

From the House testimony of Shawn Henry of Crowdstrike, the company which investigated the hack of DNC e-mails in 2016, in regard to the Russian hacker Fancy Bear.

MR. SCHIFF: lt provides in the report on 2016, April 22nd, data staged for exfiltration by the Fancy Bear actor.

MR.HENRY: Yes, sir.  So that, again, staged for, sure which, I mean, there’s not -- the analogy I used with Mr. Stewart earlier was we don't have video of it happening, but there are indicators that it happened. There are times when we can see data exfiltrated, and we can say conclusively. But in this case, it appears it was set up to be exfiltrated, but we just don't have the evidence that says it actually was.

You may wish to contemplate the views of Jeff Morley.

I stopped contemplating the views of Jeff Morley at the Cracking the Case Conference at Bethesda in ‘05 when he sat next to Tony Summers on stage and nodded wisely when Summers said we should not ask what kind of conspiracy killed Kennedy, but whether there was a conspiracy at all.  I almost fell out of my chair.

Morley believes JFK records are being withheld that would illuminate the relationship between the CIA and LHO. 

IMHO, that would be a valuable insight to the JFKA.

Insight into the cover-up of the JFKA, but illuminates nothing about the murder itself.

That may be true, but Carlson's broadcast on the Records Act could have been written by Vincent Salandria or Peter Dale Scott. 

If you find any other M$M broadcast that even comes close, please post here. Or any thoughtful broadcast, social media or otherwise. 

Even any written summation of yesterday's events. 

IMHO, the Carlson broadcast ranks up there with Eisenhower's farewell speech, in terms a synopsis of the military intel state. If you find something to top it, bring it on. 

Or, please post your own summation of Record Act events, if you think you have a better insights. Start a new topic, clue us in. 

 

 

Start with the root facts of the case:  JFK had a shallow wound in soft tissue to the right of T3, and another soft tissue wound in his throat.  There were no wound exits, and no rounds recovered at the autopsy.  The autopsists considered the possibility JFK was struck by a high tech weapon of the sort developed by the CIA program MKNAOMI. 

From Larry Hancock’s Nexus, pg 36

<quote on, emphasis in the original>

Confirmation of the MKNAOMI project was revealed in 1977, when Carter administration Defense Secretary Brown
requested an internal review of CIA projects which had involved the Department of Defense. The Department of
Defense's legal counsel conducted the investigation and among other things reported back that MKNAOMI had begun
in the early 1950's and was "intended to stockpile severely incapacitating and lethal materials and to develop gadgetry
for dissemination of these materials."

A June 29, 1975 CIA memorandum has also been located which documents the SOD/CIA relationship and confirms that no written records were kept; management was by verbal instruction and "human continuity." The memo refers to "swarms
of project requests" and cites examples of suicide pills, chemicals to anesthetize occupants to facilitate building
entries, "L-pills" and aphrodisiacs for operational use. The memo notes "some requests for support approved by the CIA
had apparently involved assassination."

<quote off>

“No written records were kept” — like 99+% of all JFKA related material the Records Act is a useless distraction.

Tucker Carlson

 

@TuckerCarlson

 

 

Today we spoke to someone who had access to the still-hidden JFK files, and is deeply familiar with their contents. We asked this person directly: did the CIA have a hand in the murder of John F. Kennedy? Here’s the reply: "The answer is yes. I believe they were involved."

So we get closer to the Truth on the JFKA with Tucker Carlson than the entire M$M-CNN-MSNBC-NYT-WaPo crowd? 

How is this possible?

You’re susceptible to pandering?

A year ago Tucker said Case Closed was a great book and the Warren Commission got it right.

The term Woke for those who don't know was a hip hop term for being a Awake to the fact that there is an Illuminati that does stuff like 911, JFK assassination, faking the moon landing and running the hip hop industry and killing rappers who get out of line. This term was then rebranded by college marxist leftists into meaning social justice. </q>

Yes!  The Marxist academic Lead Belly in 1938 used the term in his description of his song “Scottsboro Boys.”

At 4:33 —“Stay woke.”

I couldn’t take more than a couple of minutes of Dore’s crying — does he tell us what the Head of the Executive Branch of The United States Government censored on Twitter in 2020?

It’s fine to kick Antifa types off Twitter and coverup right-wing government censorship...Musk paid heavy for that right to his free speech.

But please, spare us the slimy self-righteous hypocrisies.

So what did Trump ask Twitter to remove?

It's absolutely no surprise to me nobody here who thinks Hunter Biden's laptop is a huge story  was ever going to respond to this article from Cliff as they simply wouldn't have the patience to go into the detail and read this through. I would expect about the same level of response I just got from Ben about the value to us of his posting of a TV Guide like fluff review of Twitter's new up coming season in"Twitter comes of age!" 

heh heh

Confirmation bias is a bitch!  

Taibbi noted that both Biden and Trump asked Twitter in 2020 to suppress certain items.  Private citizen Biden wanted his private citizen son’s genitalia pics removed.  

Taibbi doesn’t tell us what President Trump asked to be removed.

So what did Trump suppress — and why don‘t Taibbi/Musk reveal what exactly did The Government Under Trump censor?

I didn’t know David well enough to call him a friend, but we were definitely allies. I exchanged about 20 e-mails with him 2011-14.  We shared an understanding of the root facts of the case, and shared a disdain for “JFK experts” who didn’t grasp those facts.

Rest in peace, David, your work will live forever.

Add in Bret Stephens of The New York Times. He called Russiagate "an elaborate hoax." 

"To this day, precious few anti-Trumpers have been honest with themselves about the elaborate hoax — there’s just no other word for it — that was the Steele dossier and all the bogus allegations, credulously parroted in the mainstream media, that flowed from it."---Bret Stephens.

Man, that guy Stephens is even more off-base than Mate, Greenwald and Taibbi! 

What do make of that? 

RussiaGate had nothing to do with the Steele Dossier.  Mueller was appointed special counsel because Trump fired Comey.

Mueller didn’t go after Trump’s shady finances, his grifting children, or a sit down interview — and he let Bill Barr’s misrepresention of the report stand for two months without a correction.

Bret Stephens is a neo-con.  I thought you didn’t like neo-cons, Ben.

“Former head of Twitter Trust and Safety Yoel Roth submitted a disclosure to the FEC saying that the company had been warned by the FBI of a forthcoming Russian disinformation dump, and they assumed the New York Post's reporting was it. Federal law enforcement planted the seed in Twitter's collective mind, and Twitter used that intelligence to suppress the Post's report.”

So Twitter *assumed* the Post story was Russian disinfo after the FBI *planted a seed* — and that’s your idea of a fascist operation?

As to your second part:  I'm going to use your logic from your last post Cliff

Who was the President of the United States when that happened? 😝💯

Since when did Obama dictate to the FBI?  The US Gov’t didn’t put out a phony story about Hillary’s e-mails — James Comey and the NYC FBI office did that.

Kind of ironic the FBI warning about disinformation when James Comey lied about Hillary’s e-mails 11 days out in ‘16.

The Fascists are just pissed off the FBI didn’t do it again with Biden.

Although I suppose you could be right in a manner of speaking.

The billionaire class dominates both parties, and is, of course, "right-wing" on tax, regulatory and trade issues. That is, for the rich. 

It was Trump who gave the rich a 6% tax cut and everyone else 0.5%.

Tell us the truth, Cliff Varnell! Has the outside world be fooled? 

It’s not my fault you don’t want to process the information cited.

“In nearly all countries analysed, tweets by conservative politicians were amplified more than tweets by liberal politicians, Twitter has admitted.

Meanwhile, right-wing news outlets were also amplified for Twitter users more than left-wing news outlets.”
