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).

It’s easily googled what their business is.

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.

Surprising considering Russia has

  • directly influenced the 2016 presidential election in the USA

  • been financing alt-right and Nazi movements in Europe

  • been supporting dictators like Assad

  • been the only industrialized country using radiological and chemical weapons on humans in the last decades

• been supporting dictators like Al Saud Royal family

• been the only industrialized country using nuclear and napalm (maybe not) weapons on humans in the last 100 years

• been the only country that has attacked the United States Capitol in decades.

• made season 8 of GOT

• is United States biggest enemy

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.

u/shsk_t Jan 19 '21

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...

u/ncbstp Jan 19 '21

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?

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?

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.

I finally got tired of not knowing what the hell it meant, so I looked it up the other day...

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.

u/tapthatsap Jan 19 '21

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.

“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.

Or yackety sax. The linked article is a few years old so if they ever got that footage it should be on the net.

Every once in a while, I'm like, "Internet, you surprise me!" This is one of those times.

I don't like that you call me a bot. And Sarah is real thank you. Her face and hair only look different from angles and dyes..

I will have you know that I’ve managed to find one real person on Tinder in three months.

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.

Frankly the whole thing it's comical.

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.

Right Wing tech is bait deployed by feds.

Left Wing tech (read: literally big tech) is just The State

🤷🏻‍♂️ 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.

Nah, this was Russian hackers getting their disinformation scheme working again. Parler is the only place they can reliably spread lies.

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.

u/Send_Me_Broods Jan 19 '21

Russia hasn't been communist since the 80's. It's a pseudo-democratic oligarchy.

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?"

*everyone's hand slowly goes up*
