DOJ just unsealed the search warrant on the "encrypted" telecom used by thousands of Mobsters worldwide RUN BY THE FBI THE WHOLE TIME and it is a goddamned children's treasury of awesome.
Come, let us frolic!

It's a very long thread but worth a quick read because it reveals deep roots of drug trafficking.

Don't know if related to websites being down today, but ... wondering about it.

Because Transnational Organized Crime and domestic traitors finally (and accidentally) seized the White House and if they didn't keep it, they would die in prison so they attempted to murder Congress.

Short story. Ugly story. Prison for everyone behind it.

1. ...

[denbot]

2. Please please please be a proudboy/Jones/Stone conduit..

One can hope..

[Harker]

3. The possibilities are dizzying. n/t

[cstanleytech]

9. I would not count on that as if it did I suspect it would have instantly made the news.

[getagrip_already]

16. ou think the clowns at fox or cnn understand this?

They are hiring consultants to splain it to them. Then they will kick up a war room and spin the coverage, THEN we will start to hear about it from them.

Breaking news it will not be until they can digest it.

BUT, this was likely a huge deal under barr. He surely knew all the details and had a chance to edit the direction of the investigation. I doubt there will be any blowback on major gop donors or officials...

[msfiddlestix]

27. A vitally serious injection of reality regarding Bill Barr knowing all about this operation

Why did you have to ruin my day by shredding my hopes for a new angle to round up all of these mobsters?

BUT, this was likely a huge deal under barr. He surely knew all the details and had a chance to edit the direction of the investigation. I doubt there will be any blowback on major gop donors or officials

Damn it to hell. I had almost started to believe in justice for a moment.

[lagomorph777]

21. The Trump Organization is so mobbed up; some of this will definitely connect to them.

[KS Toronado]

26. Let's hope so, private talks between Qrump & Putin would be great.

[multigraincracker]

4. Can anyone interpret some of this

for some of us older folks?

Thank you.

[multigraincracker]

5. This link helps

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-57394831

[Irish_Dem]

6. Thank you. I had no idea what the OP was about!

[ananda]

22. Thanks. That BBC article was very helpful and informative.

This is a BFD!

[Pinback]

31. Thanks. Excellent report and analysis.

“The authorities even took advantage of a current trend in Silicon Valley - they charged a monthly subscription for the product.”

So the crooks paid for the privilege of being spied on!

[triron]

32. Where are our media? CNN? MSNBC?

[multigraincracker]

33. They may lean a little to the left, but

they are still in business to make a buck. I guess that’s how it works. 😢

[SeattleVet]

39. CNN Global had a very good segment on it:

[wnylib]

50. NPR covered it.

[Hekate]

46. VERY cool!

[GoCubsGo]

7. A bunch of drug cartels were using what they thought was a "safe", encryped telecom system,

not knowing it was actually set up by the FBI. With the help of other international agencies, they just nailed hundreds of these guys.

[Generic Brad]

34. This is why there are calls for Garland to resign

Bad guys don’t want to be exposed, so they have coordinated an attack on Garland.

[soldierant]

48. Thank you.

I was wondering, but didn't want to give the clicks. That would explain it.

[Hortensis]

8. 17 nations involved, a 3 year project that apparently ran in the field

for about 18 months, dealing major blows to organized crime AND providing international law enforcement with vast riches of new information about how criminals work these days.

Basically, criminals used a cellphone app they believed was especially secure but was actually created and introduced to the black market by hunters of criminals like the FBI. Who spied on them through it.

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. This doesn't appear to be the same software used by January 6 insurrectionists

They used Signal, Zello and one other, but not Anom, IIRC.

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Yes but the conversations alluded to some drugs

moving through embassy pouches in foreign countries and it's such a transactional environment that involves participants everywhere on their level and the money involved and where it went. This is not a street level operation, it involved at least some officials, government personnel, and by implication politicians and campaigns. Unclear if that translates here in the US. Money. Flowing. Everywhere.

[Frustratedlady]

11. I have a nagging feeling that this is much more than international mobsters/drugs.

First, as a sweetener, since most of my readers are still bloodthirsty for perp walks of the dingleberries pictured below, remember that Dipshit McSonInLaw used these exact "technologies" to communicate with the Saudis and stuff.

(Those "dingleberries pictured below" were Trump and Jared.)

RICO is also mentioned, as also suggested in articles regarding the NYC investigation on the former guy. Add to that, the supposed hacking of the NYC Legal Department a few days ago.

And, this:

The major implication is the PROSECUTION WATERFALL.

Each of these investigations leads to bank accounts and bribes and PACs and campaign donations and businesses and mayors and governors and TV producers...

And it's unstoppable now.

Could the FBI's operation of Trojan Shield (interesting choice of names), the Trump investigation and the NYC Legal Dept. hacking cause the exposure of this investigation of intl. drug dealers to come to the surface?

Coincidence?

[bucolic_frolic]

15. That is the juicy part and begs the question

why was the GOP silent on Trump's impeachment? Recall them ignoring reporters' questions, walking past and shaking their heads, showing palms up ignorance. Did they actually know, or merely suspect, or did they know what they were up to? Or was it unrelated? Recall they were pretty silent on the NRA takedown and foreign money too. Perhaps more to be revealed.

This article says "The ANOM app successfully enticed criminal gangs and ended up servicing more than 12,000 devices belonging to 300 different criminal organizations in over 100 countries, including the Italian mafia, motorcycle gangs and international drug traffickers, Europol explained in their statement."

12. all right!

Looks like delicious reading for later in the day when the heat wave is at its worst. Can't wait to get out of work and sink into some air conditioned quiet and delve in!

FBI is hitting home runs these days.

[Jon King]

17. Ahh, the extreme differences in people and heat!

We are in S. Florida and get cold if its under 80 degrees! We train for tennis with the kids from 11-4 everyday and don't even notice when its in the 90s and humid anymore.

One person's heat wave is another's absolute heaven! For us, the hotter it is, the better we feel.

[jmbar2]

14. Massive respect to the FBI!

This is awesome.

[getagrip_already]

18. Not a new trick - the FBI and intel agencies have been running honey pots for years....

The concept is simple. Come up with something that would be of interest to criminal elements and make it available to them. Then monitor the shit out of it.

They did it with encryption apps, VPN providers, block chain services, etc.

LOOK! A truly secure communication and file sharing program - and it's free! They even host it offshore for added flavor.

Sometimes the cat is much more clever than the mouse. And when the mice are dumb as rocks, your job is easier.

[peggysue2]

19. Wow! The FBI and international agencies have been very busy.

This popped out for me:

The major implication is the PROSECUTION WATERFALL.

Each of these investigations leads to bank accounts and bribes and PACs and campaign donations and businesses and mayors and governors and TV producers...

And it's unstoppable now.

A Prosecution Waterfall. Love how that sounds.

Also, considering that this rise in alt-right, authoritarian governance? World-wide, the underpinnings of these strongmen's grasp is transnational criminality.

Hummm. Should be a most interesting conversation between Biden and Putin in a few days.

[Frustratedlady]

23. What is truly amazing is that it all didn't fall apart with so many people involved.

You'd think that somewhere along the way, a leak would have occurred before all those arrests/seizures were made.

Truly, truly incredible.

Now, to do the same with human trafficking.

[getagrip_already]

29. we don't know what we don't know....

This was active under barr. I'm sure calls were made..... To some at least.

[malaise]

20. What time is the FBI press conference? n/t

[FakeNoose]

24. The BBC article (link) sounds like it's focused mainly in Europe and Asia

(link) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-57394831

After reading this explanation of the ANOM program, I'm seeing that the targets were mostly Australian, Asian and European mafia figures. Yes the FBI took part and helped set it up, along with the Australian investigators and probably Europol (?) was involved.

Over 800 arrests so far, and not many of them are Americans. It was our FBI expertise in setting up the telecom network that helped make this program successful. Way to go guys!

[SergeStorms]

25. Australia, New Zealand crime is hurt badly.

I haven't read anything about U.S. criminals, perhaps in an auxiliary capacity.

Alas, I don't believe we'll see any TrumpCo. people involved.

[dclarston13]

38. Agree

[msfiddlestix]

30. Dipshit McSonInLaw

LOVE IT!

I have a visceral revulsion to this entitled second generation criminal.

to suggest something truly creepy; perhaps he stays in poopie-pants good graces by letting him have sex with his wife. To continue a physical relationship that probably started when she was 13.

(In Quagmire voice) Aren't I just the worst!

[Botany]

35. I have always thought that Trump and the 2016 elections

... were part of the largest crime operation in world history. So many different parts and moving pieces that continued after Trump was installed into power with the only people who understand it in its entirety being Putin, Saudi & Russian intel, maybe some in US intelligence, and Bill Barr. I think that many gop Senators were caught in the Russian/NRA money trap and others like Ron Johnson knowingly took Russian help in rigging their elections. Remember that Paul Manafort picked Mike Pence to be Vice President and he was working for Putin too.

I also wonder where Fox News and Rupert Murdock works into all of this?

[marble falls]

36. ooooooooooh! An international task force grabbed 55 tons of pot, 20 tons of toot, ...

And everybody's' cars, bank accounts and expensive watches.

No child porn traffickers.
No human smugglers.
No heroin smugglers.
No meth labs or smugglers.
No arms smugglers.
No money launderers.
No terrorists.
No fugitives.
No war criminals.
......

42. Not that it really matters

But what are the chances that this is how they got access to the bitcoin that they recovered for the pipeline company?

[bucolic_frolic]

44. That's a legitimate question

The criminal underworld scratch each others' backs, they all need something illegal done, they're all avoiding LE, they're all moving and laundering money, they all need anonymity and hiding places. See any opportunities for collusion?

49. Wow! Almost sounds like something from an early William Gibson novel.

Neuromancer or from Count Zero.
