X: "Oh my fucking god the American communist party website was registered to a fucking Georgetown professor who is actually a CIA contractor LMAO God damn these fucking people are so bad at being feds

between the X leak yesterday and this today we really need to be working on internet literacy

The B Gerber in the WHOIS is probably the CISO of Coupang, weirdly.

Idk why they'd use this old web-1.0 site to register their domain name, but I also don't have high opinions of the ACP's literacy either. More likely visual kinetic was just squatting the domain and the whois hasn't updated.

between the Twitter "okta leak" yesterday and this today we really need to be working on internet literacy here.

We also need to work on some comm name literacy here too since some people need to learn how to differentiate between posting unsubstantiated info to a news comm vs posting ubsubstantiated info to the shitposting comm (joking? lol)

although I should probably look into talking about adding 'no posting unsubstantiated news' to the rules list too now that I think about it

  can only support this, would prevent lazy linking from garbage twitter threads.
- oh I was talking about the post about the leak yesterday in c/chapo, not your attempt to make c/main c/fakenews
probably the funniest actual thing here is that they paid $7500 for their domain name lol

I have never seen whois fail to update immediately? Since when does it ever take more than a couple hours?

EDIT: Looked it up and almost every says it's usually 1-3 hours. In the WORST case scenarios it's 24-48 hours.

The domain was bought weeks ago.

It looks like the DNS record was updated at 5:01:01 GMT this morning (July 25th). The twitter post is from yesteday (July 24th)

Yeah apparently it gets a little more complicated:

Also that C&D letter is hilarious.
i'm just never surprised when DNS shit takes forever

twitter is not "news" wtf

It can be.
An ACP member appered in Russia Today and was mention to be from the acp, im sad to say it is news now

So is there any actual corroborating evidence or did people just see slightly similar names and locations and went soypoint-2 to drag out an org they dislike

Does it matter? Because CPUSA certainly doesn't
- It matters if it's going to get posted in the news comm, at least
It's the latter but also fuck the ACP, it's those patsoc weirdos (Haz, Hinkel etc.). People should really stop giving them any relevancy because they have none in the first place.
No, it's been known for a while that they're feds.

Professor Burton Gerber

Fake ass name lmfao

If this is true it burns the entire patsoc op as well as all the participants.

All thanks to total incompetence.

To think I did more due diligence setting up an inconsequential mastodon instance (i.e. making sure my given name and address isn't in the fucking DNS record lmao)
Were the patsocs shilling the ACP?
- The ACP are the patsocs lol. Literally all of them. Name any patsoc and I guarantee they're involved. Everyone from Hinkle to Haz.
  
  The only person conspicuously left out is that RT guy Caleb Maupin.
- The patsuccs are the ACP.
Yeah.

Pluto OUT!

Flies away.

That nitter instance looks rate-limited. Use any from this list but not p*ast because they're Nazi pedos

https://xcancel.com/FalconryFinance/status/1816467676170240428

Also, isn't that a bunch of tracking info in the OP url? Everything from the ?t= and after is not necessary to see the post and should be taken off the link. OP, it's not your fault of course that the instance got rate limited but please remove tracking code from urls you post.

They aren't sending their best these days

From UAE Exotic Falconry & Finance𓅃 (@FalconryFinance) on Twitter.

this acc constantly trolls
- He's both kind of an enormous troll but also very diligent in the work he puts into his conspiracy obsessions. There's been a few times he's turned out to be ahead of the curve on stuff, and a few times where he's kind of gone off the rails.
- Not in this case.

Apparently this Party exists?

I had never even heard of them before. I initially thought this was about CPUSA. Who the fuck is even joining these loser ass parties? Jesus, the Left in the US is miserable.

At least are pretty solid despite being pretty tiny
- Really? I was under the impression they were pretty large, relative Communist parties in the US.

CPDOA - kelly

Look at the other sites in his name. Tradecraft. Privacy. Bitcoin. Totally not captured honeypots.

Can't wait to see Hinkle defend this. That whole group is made.

Whoa wtf theres bitcoin domains from 2011.

According to Bitcoin Return Calculator: Analyze Your Bitcoin Investment, if you bought $100 of bitcoin in June 2011 when bitcoinwallet.us (#23 on that list) or bitcoinx.us (#12) was registered, it would now be worth $4,163,674.

Is this just a search of anyone who registered a domain and called themselves "b gerber"? It seems kind of non specific.

archived both this tweet and the quoted one for posterity

Yeah, I'm not sure how accurate this is. Its easy to dunk on the "ACP" nerds, but I think its less likely that they're feds than it is they're dipshits.

Jackson Hinkle and Caleb Maupin are clearly feds.
- Not convinced by Maupin, I think he's an idiot and a sexpest but not a fed. But Hinkle is 110% a fed.
Why is it not likely? The CIA cares enough to infiltrate Indian student Communist orgs, why wouldn't they do the bare minimum of disrupting communism in the US?

It's a duck.
