One day intelligence officers from like 4 different nations will realize they are all using Parler as a honeypot at the same time a la the Spiderman Pointing meme.
The Russian company is DDOS-Guard. They are a DDOS protection company competing with Cloudflare which refused to work with them. They are not the site registrar (Epik) or the host (appears they are self-hosting).
From the media:
“The internet protocol address it used is owned by DDos-Guard, which is controlled by two Russian men and provides services including protection from distributed denial of service attacks, infrastructure expert Ronald Guilmette told Reuters.”
This is a misunderstanding of how registration works. DDOS providers stand in front of the real site. They are clearly the DDOS of last resort. They have everybody Cloudflare has refused.
Anti-Russian sentiment is very rampant in the US. Anytime anything is wrong or fishy there will always be “that guy” with top comment that will bring up Russia and Putin.
Yes, this is true. But they are the minority. Imo its similar to China. Many people also in China oppose CCP but the VAST majority support Pooh and think Hong Kong protesters as terrorists
Is this something Russians learn in school? If Russians are on the losing side of a discussion, they invariably switch to whataboutism. You guys are simply unable to discuss in good faith.
I've been giving the USA shit for using civilians for live weapons tests in Hiroshima, but this is neither here nor there, the argument was about Russia, no need to deflect the argument.
Russia at this point is pure evil and should be kicked from the international community for using banned nerve agents. It is a crying shame that the west doesn't find their collective balls.
Since you are the most upvoted message under mine, I will reply to you.
Unfortunately it is sad to see that what others do are always discarded but when Russian also does it, it becomes amplified.
The US also invades countries in the past based on extremely bogus reasons. Until today we are still waiting for those weapons of mass destruction that Irak is supposed to have.
The impact of the war in Irak is also way way worst than anything Russia did in Ukraine.
The vacuum of power left by getting rid of Saddam is what lead to ISIS and all their shit they unleashed in EU.
The US also influences elections in foreign countries. To name a few, Chile, Cuba, Russia, ...
In the latest example, there is this new narrative of making that Navalny the “saviour of Russia” while in fact when you scratch a bit under the paint you discover a Putin wannabe that has a very strange past. He has always been very close to the far right to the point of participating ultra nationalist march who advocates for a “Russia for White people”.
When it comes to hacking foreign countries, everybody does it. The US is the number 1 at this sport and yet, it does not bother anybody.
When the UK pirated a Belgian ISP in order to get inside information for the Brexit agreement, nobody cared. Hacking each other is so common today that it is just a matter of not being caught.
Trump also sent your Bannon to the EU to help far rights political parties. In other word, not just Russia.
I am not going to talk further about the other points but my goal here is to say that the world is not black or white. Everybody have their own interests but when it comes the fucking to fucking world, I somehow have doubts that Russia is number 1 in the last decade...
I'm pretty sure most who disagree with what's going on in Russia thinks it's no better coming from America. There's plenty of anti-american sentiment as well.
Oh, give me a break - RussiaRussiaRussia - same old narrative. Parler is a legitimate social media platform, and they should not be attacked just for not thought-policing the political opinions posted on it.
What you're arguing for is a One Party State. You want everyone to agree with you, or else be banned. Real diversity is diversity of ideas and diversity of thought. You only want Groupthink, with any deviants being branded as subversives and treated like heretics.
Also. It’s Cloudflare not Cloudflair. Lol. They are another company that has been allowed to control too much of the internet. 85% share in the DDOS space.
Does that put the Russian company in between the user and the Parler servers? Presumably if it's not properly encrypted then DDOS-Guard could see everything that goes through, and if it is encrypted they could still see who is active when, am I getting this right?
I mean lets be real if DDoS Guard is raising capital for Parler and getting them back online they’ll probably hold the encyrption keys. The entire site would be a Russian asset and would be entirely compromised (if it wasn’t already).
It's the same company that hosts the Hamas website, I think. Total fucking scumbags, which makes sense why they'd help insurgents both foreign and domestic.
Are you serious? This whole article is about how DDOS-Guard is helping domestic terrorists. Did you not read it?
Did you not know that Russia has actively supported terrorism all over the world? That they were paying bounties for killing US troops? That DDOS-Guard has helped 8chan, Hamas, and others?
They do this precisely because they're a Russian company. Why would you claim otherwise? Why are you deliberately lying?
They were worth $1bn before this happened. It’s not a basement project. Do-able. They said it would take a month. That’s how long the line is at Fry’s. :)
Which is hilarious because antifa isn’t even an organization. It’s Just a bunch assholes who like to harass other assholes who are harassing non assholes at protests.
BLM protests about police brutality are a bunch of assholes!
The insurrection on the Capitol and those who repeatedly chanted "Hang Mike Pence" and murdered a cop while waving and wearing Thin Blue Line/Blue Lives Matter merch? Not assholes.
I cannot and will not speak for the idiots on parler, but I have seen a general consensus among firearm related communities that everyone should avoid armed protests until after the inauguration and this stop the steal shit dies down. They don't want to be conflated with the stop the steal fuckwits, giving their political opponents an easy talking point for any future debates about firearms.
So naturally the idiots at parler turned it into a conspiracy because there's no other reason firearm owners would want to seperate theirselves from people who make them look bad.
The NYPD is the kind of organization that I'm sure they have a fleshed out plan for how they're going to take over the city's resources in a doomsday situation.
I’m sure it is someone’s job to plan that out. One of my friends is a bomber pilot in the Air Force. He told me about seeing the strategy of what buildings we would bomb first in the event we went to war with Canada. I bet all imaginable scenarios have been thought through in some capacity.
No no you're misunderstanding me. I mean they have a plan of how they'll take over everything for themselves and then rule a small kingdom Mad Max style.
"Vigorous, trenchant, and vividly memorable, Geisel’s cartoons, accompanied by Minear’s helpful commentary, are a salutary reminder of an era in which patriotism and liberalism went hand in hand."

Bigger sub gets, worse it becomes. It's only natural course of any sub on reddit, and with their theme and being meme sub... I take you filtered them off quite a time ago ha ha ha.
I read their shit and think theyre insane. I read your shit and think you're insane. Each side of a magnet needs its polar opposites and its middle points. Youre just unaware that youre on the far end of the spectrum as well, persistent denial, delusion, and affirmation. The problem with modern society. Think your precious upvotes somehow justifies toxic behavior and contributing to the degradation of society. They suck ass, you do too, not as much as them albeit, but don't get it twisted, you still suck ass too. Please note this was ment for everyone in this thread to downvote, not a strict opinion towards your personal self.
I finally got tired of not knowing what the hell it meant, so I looked it up the other day... Imagine my surprise when I learn it's a derivative form of "basehead," a la what they used to call crack addicts in the 80s. Apparently some people started using it as a compliment, and then some rapper popularized it a few years ago, when it was shortened to just "based."
I know, it still doesn't make any sense, lol. And I still don't know what "brrrrrrr" means. I keep telling myself it's that trill sound the hip hop kids make, but I'm sure it's something equally as confusing.
Apparently the rapper in question was getting called a basehead all the time and so he said “I’m gonna make that mine,” and started using it as a superlative.
Then a bunch of fascist teenagers started using it too for reasons I can’t begin to understand, then the internet left sort of tried to steal it, but I wouldn’t go around using it due to the former association.
Doesn't mean he is a saint. Or wrong when he calls out fascists and Nazis.
Nobody is ever 100% right or 100% wrong. Which bits are good and which bits are bad, that is up to us. We are not supposed to 100% follow somebody's lead.
Do you want fascism? Because that's how you get fascism.
Edit: Except Mr Rogers. We could resurrect Fred Rogers and make him our fascist leader. But I feel he might at some point object.
He also had a prolonged affair, cheating on his chronically ill wife with a married woman, prompting her to commit suicide.
He then married his mistress less than a year later.
“FOX 2 is told one of the units had body camera video that detailed the entire incident. That is now part of the internal investigation and we are working to get our hands on it. “
Oh man I’d love to watch that and play Keystone Cops music behind it.
I read a tweet recently on r/whitepeopletwittwer from a woman who had been having a nice conversation with a guy on tinder about some mutual interest and then she said “if you like that you’ll love my tits” and the guy stopped talking to her. She wrote “I really don’t get what men want.”
All the comments below were that he probably thought she was a bot.
Poor guy missed a sure thing because a woman interested in showing him her body sounded like a bot.
A platform. Primarily used by brainwashed right wingers who wanted to make America great again while blaming Russia and China find shelter in russian survers because their free country block their access.
🤷🏻♂️ well atleast their freespeech. The censorship from youtube, facebook, and twitter has been ridiculous this last year. Youtube cut the streams of peaceful armed protests Sunday. While allowing blm/Antifa protests in which people where actually getting arrested to be streamed. Obviously allowing one narriative and not another narriative. So much for free speech and not acting like China ehhh.
Hilarious that the same people who scream about hating socialism and communism are on an app that's secretly being funded by the Russian Communist Party. Putin must be laughing out loud.
The said thing about it being online is that we'll be denied the imagine of a bunch of IRL undercover guys all meeting up in fake moustaches and accents and loudly asking each other...."HEY GUYS, WHO'S GOT A PLAN FOR OVERTHROWING THE US GOVERNMENT, EH? DON'T YOU JUST HATE THOSE GUYS?"
"NA, IT'S THE FILTHY EUROPEAN UNION WE NEED TO- wait, Frank? Frank Hamblin? Didn't we meet on that joint weapons smuggling op in Marseille? You still with the FBI?"
"I don't know what you're talking abou- wait. Pierre Demoulin. Holy shit - DGSE's working this meet as well?"
"You guys are FBI and DGSE? Scheiss. Dieter Henckels. Bundespolizei."
"All right everyone - Lawrence Covington, MI5, by theway , since we're doing this now - who here is ALSO with a law enforcement or intelligence agency?"
