Reddit quarantines r/The Donald

USA MacPaper: Reddit restricts pro-Trump subreddit r/The_Donald for violent comments.

Reddit has "quarantined" a popular subreddit for supporters of President Donald Trump for "threats of violence against police and public officials."

The social media site now displays a warning message for visitors trying to access r/The_Donald which has more than 754,000 subscribers. Quarantined subreddits also "generate no revenue, do not appear in non-subscription-based feeds (eg Popular), and are not included in search or recommendations," according to Reddit.
[.]
The move comes two days after Media Matters reported that subreddit users have repeatedly called for violence against Oregon police and other public officials. Gov. Kate Brown authorized the Oregon State Police to find and return 11 Republican state senators who fled Salem to deny Democrats the opportunity to pass a sweeping greenhouse gas emissions cap-and-trade bill.

Can anyone recall Media Matters condemning actual violence committed by AntiFa, rather than alleged "calls for violence" appearing at a thread on a glorified BBS that's been usurped by Spastic Snowflake Liberals?

John Brennan's cryptic tweet decoded?

An interesting thread at Reddit:

Click image to enlarge.

Thread comment header:  "John Brennan's tweet decoded! He ordered the assassination of Trump. John 3:13 = JFK Zapruder film frame 313. The frame the bullet hits JFKs head."

Frame 313 of the Zapruder film does appear to be the correct frame number. Time:

...LIFE withheld the gruesome frame No. 313—a picture that became influential by its absence. That one, where the bullet exploded the side of Kennedy’s head, is still shocking when seen today[.]

What Brennan wrote is exactly James 3:13. Bible Gateway:

13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

What grudge does Brennan have with President Donald Trump? Well, there are a lot of details in that answer, and see Intel Today for the full background.

A very worried John Brennan

Recall WikiLeaks publishing some of Brennan's hacked emails

Today, 21 October 2015 and over the coming days WikiLeaks is releasing documents from one of CIA chief John Brennan's non-government email accounts. Brennan used the account occasionally for several intelligence related projects.

RT: Brennan's hacked emails include his thoughts on toture, Iran and Afghanistan. And yeah...his hacked email was an...AOL account. Who dey?

Completely hilarious that CIA Director Brennan still uses an AOL account for personal email. Probably has a Prodigy mailer CD too[.]

Brennan, a Deep-Stater and loyal Clintonite, is busy pointing fingers at others, including James Comey and James Clapper.

Conservative Review: Brennan worried about jail.

On Monday, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino appeared on “Fox & Friends” and blasted Obama administration CIA Director John Brennan, saying he “has disgraced the country.”

Bongino was responding to a tweet from Brennan over the weekend claiming Republican leaders  in Congress would do “a great disservice” to the country if they allow Trump to order an investigation into potential interference in the 2016 election by the Obama administration’s intelligence agencies.
[.]
Bongino slammed Brennan as a disgrace and said he was “worried about staying out of jail” because there were criminal leaks to the media Bongino asserts Brennan was involved in.

Brennan was a main architect in then-president Barrack Hussein Obama's "kill list", and Brennan was instrumental in weaponizing the CIA, especially with drones, for the Obama Admin.

James 3:13 and the Zapruder frame 313? An ambiguous, openly veiled threat from Brennan to Trump? A big plate of nothing? A wildly-stretched conspiracy theory from someone on Reddit?

Maybe yes, maybe no - right? Maybe.

One interesting comment at the Reddit thread is why would someone like Brennan use any biblical verse of "3:13" - but especially James 3:13 - knowing that any good conspiracy theory would hop on that reference, tying it to frame 313 of the Zapruder film?

That's a good observation. As good as a follow-up comment noting that if linking the James 3:13 verse to the Zapruder frame 313 is intentional, what better way for Brennan to operate in plain sight?

Is Oregon Live, The Oregonian, painting a sympathetic portrait of Angel Granados Dias, the armed student apprehended at Parkrose High?

I ran across an interesting thread on Reddit:

"The rollout of Angel’s identity on OregonLive will come via a sympathetic puff-piece they are now preparing, focusing on mental health and personal/family adversity, especially if he is from a migrant family. Unlike other trench coat gunmen in schools, the pivot will be away from issues of firearm access and provenance."

 Click images to enlarge.

Here's the link to the Oregon Live story. It's interesting to note that there are 28 reader comments that, earlier, were viewable, but now, clicking on "View Comments" results to the message of "Comments are not available for this story." Comments at the Reddit link are not kind towards The Oregonian and its coverage on this story.

Angel Granados Dias was arrested on accusations of bringing a loaded shotgun into Parkrose High School on May 17, 2019. He was booked into Multnomah County's jail system just after midnight on Saturday, May 18, 2019. (Multnomah County Sheriff's Office)

Is this a case of "if he'd been wearing a MAGA hat and his name was Nick Sandmann", would we know everything about his entire life by now?

While I haven't checked since earlier this morning, 4 and 8 Chan didn't have much info on the background and life of Dias.

Oregon Public Broadcasting has an event timeline on what occurred at Parkrose High School.

4Chan trolls laid off workers of HuffPo and BuzzFeed?

NBC News: Laid off HuffPo and BuzzFeed targeted by 4Chan?

The threats are part of a coordinated campaign organized on the far-right message board [4Chan].  Shortly after he tweeted the news of his own layoff, Nick Wing checked his inbox at HuffPost[.]
[.]
Wing was one of many journalists who were let go by BuzzFeed and HuffPost this week and were sent death threats from trolls organizing their efforts on the far-right message board 4chan. Many of those targeted by the harassment campaign did not cover the far-right, including Wing, whose beat focused on inequality and guns.

I've been on Al Gore, Junior's Super Info Highway for a long time. Too long. I've never heard anyone describe 4Chan as a "far-right message board." To be fair and clear, I've never heard anyone refer to 4Chan having any political identity other than representing "all political voices". Is 4Chan "far-right"? Did I miss this all these years? Did you?

“Hang in there,” Musk tweeted. “If you are truly long-term, it will be fine.”

Silicon Valley Liberal planning "Internet Bill of Rights." Recode: 

The author of these proposals is Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) [...] a set of new regulations for Silicon Valley that Democratic legislators may start pushing next year if they recapture Congress in November.

Tech has been, and will continue, outpacing law at breakneck speed. Politicians meddling in Tech is never good for Tech (or for law) and this is equal across Dems, Repubs and Others. Libertarians excluded, of course.
