10/25/2019 - Finders data dump from the FBI

[Wombaticus Rex]

Is this the FBI sending a message to another agency?

Document is ... full of odd and interesting new details, unfortunately.

Very interesting find.

Also: how is it that this OP already has over 1,000 views?
Am I missing an obvious detail? That's a huge count for 1 day in such a niche forum.

now that you mentioned it I wanted to ask the same thing at 20 minutes
so interesting that the OP had gotten 570 views in 20 minutes and there is only 30 users on line

Yeah, I noticed that too and I am none too fucking thrilled by the implications. Enjoy the weekend!

"Total deleted pages = 176" and also heavily redacted. Is this not indicative of something in and of itself? On what grounds do whole paragraphs and pages need to be removed? Privacy?

In the past, I think that it was at least plausible to say that the Customs report was highly flawed and suspicious. To have reasonable doubts about the available information was at least a defensible position to take - until Theodore G. Reiss was arrested. I am not saying that it proves the whole case against Pettie et al, but it certainly does provide some concrete information to point to.

SlaD has brought up times that this has happened to a couple of my own posts (in Current Events of all places, with an even smaller daily readership).

Maybe we should be taking precautions of some sort, Wombat? I know you're armed, at least.

Yeah, I noticed that too and I am none too fucking thrilled by the implications. Enjoy the weekend!

However, it is entirely possible that this is evidence of nothing more than automatic search engine "spidering", both by the Big Boys and by SEO-based cybermarketers.

In fact, the more that I think about it, the more such random spikes remind me of suspicious activity that takes place on my own blogs. Whenever I trace those hits back to the source, it's usually some subcontinental or formerly Iron Curtain countries' creepy MLM sites looking for potential new sources for people to scam.

... "evolved into a data gathering organization" ...

Anyone interested should make sure to check in with the thread in the data/research forum. Finished my first look-through of the new documents last night and will have a few more posts to make soon.

Obviously the QAnon cult is a load of shit, but this is the very first time where I thought, "Hmmm, maybe it's not a complete load of shit." Of course, it could just be a Trump operative piggybacking on the insanity, stoking the coals of Q delusion.

Anyway, happy to see someone, anyone in government who is, for whatever reason, well...woke.

10 years ago this would have been enormous news here.

10 years ago this would have been enormous news here.

Certainly so, but: 10 years ago we also had 10 times the amount of regular contributors here.

This thread isn't moving but Cpt Marginal has been doing superb work making the PDF visible to casual readers in the Data Dump:

Along with excellent, informed contributions from Marionumber1.

It has indeed been a staggering haul, however. I feel badly for Tyler Rabbit, whose documentary has, no doubt, been kicked in the dick by some of these updates and conclusions. I also feel badly for myself, since my article on this subject has begun attracting heavy interest and correspondence again despite the fact it's incredibly naive, and poorly structured besides. I will have to re-write that and it feels like a prison sentence; then again, I understand there are far worse fates available.

Agree with Jerky that the spike in hits here was the result of automated attention, and frankly, that's why it bugs me. This is exactly who these people are and what these people do, The Finders has always been an intel network / dirty work cut-out, much like Team Larouche. And they didn't go far. I expect most of those IPs will be from Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. Then there's the whole Pelzer, SC thing. Fun stuff but a dumb hobby.

[FourthBase]

Holy...mother...fucking...shit.

I think that Data Dump link above ought to be stickied on the General Discussion page for at least a little while. No? I seriously doubt if any official document release has ever been more in RI's wheelhouse. Every single regular who's still here should read every single post of it. As the 4chan retards say, "Get in here!"

Agreed -- was not aware of the updates/contributions in that thread until just now [haven't perused the Data Dump in some time...]. Excellent data mining/contributions to dig into.

The scandal surrounding the Finders cult raises questions of ongoing significance about the rogue, untouchable nature of the CIA and its assets.
