Enlil said: The case against him is still very much active. I'm pretty sure you knew that.
Yes, I knew that. In fact, this will about the 8th time I'm going to tell you I KNOW THAT LEGALLY THE CASE AGAINST THOSE OTHER DEFENDENTS WASN'T DISMISSED. I'm asking you to use a little common sense to understand that if the case against the parent company was dismissed, it should be obvious that the case against employees who were acting on behalf of the parent probably isn't very strong either. Unless they were rogue employees doing things the parent company didn't want them doing. But I missed that in the indictment.
Quote:
Enlil said: As to your three reasons, one was because you think everything the government says is a lie
The only things from the Government I don't believe are things that don't have any proof. I'll remind you about the following:
- The Mueller Report specifically concluded that "the investigation did not establish that the Campaign coordinated or conspired with the Russian government in its election-interference activities." - Der Spiegel found that Bill Browder WAS indeed lying about the Sergei Magnitsky story - A fourth OPCW whistleblower came out and said the OPCW report blaming Syria for the Douma chemical attacks was bogus - And of course there's this case that was just dismissed
Quote:
Enlil said: another is because of some silly internet bet.
You call it "silly" because I was right again (Yevgeny owned Concord). Why did you chicken out from taking that bet?
Quote:
Enlil said: The other links to some post that has very little, if anything, to do with the charges in the indictment.
That link has everything to do with the indictment, and if you don't realize that you clearly don't understand this case (except maybe the last clip showing Mueller lying about WMDs - I put that in to show Mueller is a liar).
Quote:
Enlil said: No, it wasn't a surprise that it made an appearance. This is a stupid discussion, but you'll just claim victory if we don't have it.
What about this: "Concord Management decided to fight it... Mueller probably didn't see that coming - and the indictment itself was perhaps nothing more than a PR stunt to bolster the Russian interference narrative."
Or this (by Scott Ritter): "The Concord Management case, like the case against the Russian intelligence officers, was never meant to go to trial... Concord Management, however, took everyone by surprise"
Or this: "I don’t think anyone (including Mueller) anticipated that any of the defendants would appear in court to defend against the charges... One of the Russian corporate defendants nevertheless hired counsel to contest the charges."
Quote:
Enlil said: Concord making an appearance is legally submitting to the jurisdiction of the court. Yet, when asked for discovery material, concord claimed that the court lacked jurisdiction to require those materials to be turned over. This is the part that is a "surprise" insofar as concord availed itself of the court's jurisdiction to get discovery but denied it when it came time to turn over discovery.
I explained that already. Concord wanted discovery information as well, but Mueller argued he didn't have to give it (see more below).
Quote:
Enlil said: And this is why it was not a good idea to continue prosecution of the entity. It would have required turning over secrets that may have jeopardized assets or the cases against the individuals. At the same time, Concord was never going to turn over the subpoenaed information. Since prosecution of the individuals was more important, the government chose to abandon the prosecution of the entities in order to improve its position vis a vis prosecuting the individuals.
So did the Government have a case, or did they actually need subpoenaed materials (which the lawyer for Concord turned over)?

Oh, were you not aware that that was part of the "discussion"? There have been at least 50 incidents of arson in the UK alone, and as of last time I checked the day before yesterday, 19 engineers were physically attacked.
I wonder if this would be happening if not for all those likes and shares?
I'd also note that this isn't "political spending", since while it does have severe political effects, it's just some dumb 5g conspiracy.
Nothing but clickbait.

Of course they have a case. They wouldn't have left both of the cases open if they didn't.
Or they were trying to trick gullible people into thinking there is a case.
Yevgeny Prigozhin wants this case to either go back to trial, or for all charges to be removed from his company due to lack of guilt and corpus delicti. Things remain interesting...

I listed the cases you and I had argued about where I turned out to be correct.

I'm simply explaining what happens when you dismiss everything as "clickbait". The overton window moves. Maybe the crazy weirdo, instead of getting a few "woah, chill dude" gets a few hundred likes and decides they aren't so crazy after all. Maybe the people that would have said "woah dude, chill" see all those likes and stay quiet.
And then maybe it goes on for, say, half a decade. And suddenly, arson becomes part of the discussion. After all, a discussion is simply a group of people expressing their opinions. Violence is also an expression of opinion.
If I had a solution, I wouldn't be explaining the problem, I'd be ignoring you and fixing it. As of right now, my only plan is informing other people as to what is happening. Maybe someone else can help come up with a solution, instead of dismissing the whole thing as "clickbait advertising".

By the way, speaking of crazy new things that just pop up out of nowhere overnight and suddenly lead to groups of people destroying shit, here's something interesting someone noticed a few hours back:
Quote:
There's an imperial ton of astroturfing going on, and it's quite visible in how those groups popped up literally overnight (hint-hint). The thing is that they targeted groups who were... how does one say... more receptive to the message who wouldn't be inclined to look any deeper into what they were joining.
As an example, right now, this is happening in Orange County, CA.
Now, here's a screenshot of the description of the "Operation Gridlock Los Angeles" group when it was first spotted by Buzzfeed News.
Concurrently, here's a screenshot of the description of the "Operation Gridlock Tennessee" group.
But, hey... it's Buzzfeed News right? Cool-cool-cool-cool-cool...
Here's a link to the group "Pennsylvanians Against Excessive Quarantine" - sitting 55,281 members deep at the time of this post.
Okay...
Now here's a link to the group "Minnesotans Against Excessive Quarantine" - presently with 18,938 members.
Why do these groups have the exact same description?
Let's not stop there. Following their own links: one is from the "Pennsylvania Firearms Association", and the other is from the group "Minnesota Gun Rights" - both with the exact same layout.
Both of these domains are registered with the same registrar and were registered on the exact same day at the same time.
[ ~]$ whois reopenmn.com [Querying whois.verisign-grs.com] [Redirected to whois.godaddy.com] [Querying whois.godaddy.com] [whois.godaddy.com] Domain Name: reopenmn.com Registry Domain ID: 2512322197_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.godaddy.com Registrar URL: http://www.godaddy.com Updated Date: 2020-04-08T14:39:18Z Creation Date: 2020-04-08T14:39:17Z Registrar Registration Expiration Date: 2021-04-08T14:39:17Z

The rest of the whois information is obscured by a proxy organization that provides privacy for whois records (I even use them myself as do many others for privacy reasons), so I cannot tell who owns these domains.
Following the pattern of their sites, I checked for "reopenmd.com", but it never resolved to anything. That said, the DNS lookup itself didn't result in a NXDOMAIN error which tells me the domain does exist.
[ ~]$ whois reopenmd.com [Querying whois.verisign-grs.com] [Redirected to whois.godaddy.com] [Querying whois.godaddy.com] [whois.godaddy.com] Domain Name: reopenmd.com Registry Domain ID: 2515645280_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.godaddy.com Registrar URL: http://www.godaddy.com Updated Date: 2020-04-17T04:19:17Z Creation Date: 2020-04-17T04:19:16Z Registrar Registration Expiration Date: 2021-04-17T04:19:16Z Registrant Organization: Registrant State/Province: Florida Registrant Country: US Registrant Email: Select Contact Domain Holder link at https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?domain=reopenmd.com Admin Email: Select Contact Domain Holder link at https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?domain=reopenmd.com Tech Email: Select Contact Domain Holder link at https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?domain=reopenmd.com
Registered a little more than week later with the same registrar. The thing is, they didn't actually complete their whois information this time, and whoever set it up cheaped out or forgot to pay for the Domains by Proxy service. Although whois information is literally a public record, I'm not inclined to place my account at risk by opening myself up to accusations of doxxing. That said, anyone who feels inclined to can go to https://whois.godaddy.com and search for reopenmd.com. I myself would be personally curious as to why someone in Florida is registering domains claiming to be gun rights organizations in other states.
Seriously, even without that information - who or whomever is responsible for this astroturfing couldn't make this more obvious if they tried. It honestly took me longer to type all of this up to present here than it did for me to find this all. Yet people have taken the bait hook-line-and-sinker.
Meanwhile, the President then starts tweeting "LIBERATE MINNESOTA", "LIBERATE VIRGINIA...", and "LIBERATE MICHIGAN"; and one of the major forces behind the group in Michigan was a political group that has direct ties to and has historically been heavily funded by the family of the Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos (though said family denies direct involvement in last weeks protest)?
In that regard, I'm not alleging some major conspiracy here, but l-o-fucking-l.
Edit: for the record, reopenva.com also exists and has the exact same registry info as reopenmd.com.
[ ~]$ whois reopenva.com [Querying whois.verisign-grs.com] [Redirected to whois.godaddy.com] [Querying whois.godaddy.com] [whois.godaddy.com] Domain Name: reopenva.com Registry Domain ID: 2515650132_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.godaddy.com Registrar URL: http://www.godaddy.com Updated Date: 2020-04-17T04:43:47Z Creation Date: 2020-04-17T04:43:46Z Registrar Registration Expiration Date: 2021-04-17T04:43:46Z Registrant Organization: Registrant State/Province: Florida Registrant Country: US Registrant Email: Select Contact Domain Holder link at https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?domain=reopenva.com Admin Email: Select Contact Domain Holder link at https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?domain=reopenva.com Tech Email: Select Contact Domain Holder link at https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?domain=reopenva.com
Edit 2: Apparently, others have found that a domain for pretty much every other state was registered in the same pattern at the same time.
Credit to a guy that goes by Dr_Midnight
So, a bunch of different groups all pop up on different websites, using the exact same format, layout, and text, claiming to be "grassroots" and "local", except all the domains are registered from one place in Florida.

Of course it's okay. I wonder why they're doing it from behind proxies?
Similarly, it's perfectly okay for Russians to start a conversation about why Americans should ignore social distancing and protest to reopen the US economy.
Perfectly okay.
As for arson, that's part of the discussion now. It's simply how some people express their opinions now. Also perfectly okay.
It's all good in the hood, as far as I'm concerned.

What, do you suddenly think it's wrong for Russians to start discussions by VPN-ing into Florida networks, pretending to be US citizens, and, well, "discussing"?
If you read the links I provided, that is what they did.
Sounds like a perfectly reasonable way to start a discussion to me.
And as I literally just mentioned, it appears they have begun a discussion on the wisdom of social distancing and closing down public businesses as a response to Covid-19. Well, "they". Not sure who, yet. Can't prove it was Russian trolls. Just some network from Florida that seems to be organizing groups called "Minnesotans against excessive quarantine". I'm sure they're just minnesotans visiting Disney World.
Just a discussion. Perfectly okay, right?

Nice work

Yesss makes so much sense.
I’m constantly going on Chinese social media to discuss Chinese politics in Mandarin. Why would an American NOT pretend to be a Russian on Russian SM? That’s how discussions work, duh.
Cmon guys, who among us doesn’t enjoy posing as a foreign national for the purpose of a discussion? Who has NOT learned a foreign language to make political posts under a fake name?

How did you conclude it was a Russian person or group, and that Russians did the same for the 5G discussions?

Just a discussion. Perfectly okay, right?
I can think of many other possibilities besides Russians and "minnesotans visiting Disney World".
Seriously, how did you conclude it was a Russian person or group, and that Russians did the same for the 5G discussions?

I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

I explicitly stated, in the quote that you quoted, that I cannot prove that it was Russian trolls. However, as I also stated, and confirmed in one of my links (not the NYT link), Russian troll farms did VPN into Florida networks for their efforts previously.
Maybe it was Nigerian Princes, that decided they needed to step their game up. They just happened to have copied the Russian playbook perfectly, and used the exact same methods and the exact same infrastructure. I guess if it works the first time, learn from the best.

So a Russian troll farm was found to have VPN'd into the Florida networks, therefore, anyone VPNing into the Florida networks is probably Russian? Or did I misunderstand the logic here?
And I still haven't seen the connection between people against quarantine and the 5G safety discussions (because only Russians would be against quarantine, amiright?)
