Traitor Trump sold Pentagon out

[Dribble]

Dormant Pentagon IP addresses magically spring to life as Trump leaves. Still don't know who...or which country activated them...but we do know who was in charge. Fucking Fascist traitor sold us out.

Only Fascist traitors support a Fascist traitor

Only dumbasses post threads that aren't true.

jaFO is right Dribble.

Not every story is a smoking gun.

Trump is still a traitor, but this story isn't more proof of that fact.

It's enough that even his most sycophantic cultists know the traitor in chief is a pathetic fading one term loser.

Savor that thought.

April 24, 2021

While the world was distracted with President Donald Trump leaving office
on Jan. 20, an obscure Florida company discreetly announced to the world’s
computer networks a startling development: It now was managing a huge
unused swath of the Internet that, for several decades, had been owned by
the U.S. military.

What happened next was stranger still.

The company, Global Resource Systems LLC, kept adding to its zone of control.
Soon it had claimed 56 million IP addresses owned by the Pentagon. Three months
later, the total was nearly 175 million. That’s almost 6 percent of a coveted
traditional section of Internet real estate — called IPv4 — where such large
chunks are worth billions of dollars on the open market

The only announcement of Global Resources Systems’ management of Pentagon
addresses happened in the obscure world of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) —
the messaging system that tells Internet companies how to route traffic across the world.
There, messages began to arrive telling network administrators that IP addresses assigned
to the Pentagon but long dormant could now accept traffic — but it should be routed
to Global Resource Systems.

Network administrators began speculating about perhaps the most dramatic shift
in IP address space allotment since BGP was introduced in the 1980s.

I hate to tell people...the Govt doesn't just sell their IPs. Someone gave the OK.

Question 1)

Why would our military own these IPs in the first place? Surely they weren't purchased to sell at a later point for profit. What can they be used for?

Question 2)

What is the purpose of our military? I doubt it is for the buying and selling of IPs.

Question 3)

How did a "new" start up company get the clout to get an inside track to buying these IPs? Why weren't they auctioned off if they weren't required?

Question 4)

Which country...which leader...benefits from having these IPs available?

Question 5)

Is our military stronger or weaker by not being able to manipulate the internet?

I don't need answers...I am quite confident I know the answers. Do you?

Given the secrecy about the company, it may not even exist as anything other than a DoD front.

 

[Dribble]

Oh...it even gets better...most of these IPs weren't sold...just changed who hosted them. Nothing like having private companies involved in hosting and managing Govt sites. How well did that work last year? Only took 6 months to discover our "secured" computers weren't secure...that Russia was just roaming around copying shit at their leisure.

Did you read the article on the subject???

While the headline is designed to attract clicks, the substance in the body of the article is pretty clear that there is a legitimate reason why the status of the IP addresses was changed and outsourced to Global Resource systems, and it was primarily to aide the DOD in their offensive and defensive cyber warfare efforts.

It appears to be a legitimate national security operation, which means Trump had nothing to do with it.

*nods*

Dribb's is getting almost as bad as the QA fools. Might have some fun with the AZ recount gig though.

 

[Biggs_Darklighter]

Yeah this is nothing.

 

[ishtat]

Dribble. Until you find out who owns and who controls this "private" company, you will know nothing. And you are not going to find out.

It isn't rocket science. Nor is it rocket science to find out who signed off and why. I have no issues with our military doing what they think is best. I have shitloads of issues where traitors make decisions based on false premises. Our prior Administration was run by Fascists. Every decision they made needs to be looked at. EVERY DECISION.

I have not seen any legitimate reason given. If there is...then I will stop and apologize. These IPs were obtained for very specific defense reasons. Moving them...without Legislators knowing it would happen? Those legislators on our security panels need to say "We knew and approved". Only then...is the article click bait.

We have had 2 elections where Russia has openly interfered. Russia also got 6 months of open access to our most secure servers...including our military. Is this a way to break that access? Fine. I am ok with that. Again, all someone has to do is say this made us safer.

There are 2 sides of a coin. You flip it...you don't know if it will be heads or tails. Same thing here...until someone says this was an acceptable move...you have to look at the other side of the coin...a new company is hosting more IPs than the largest prior host company, ATT and Comcast, and it was done as a favor to a donor. This only makes sense to question
