Lol right? I've never seen an inmate request letter that carefully written, I'm not sure if I've even seen one with paragraphs haha. I suppose this facility only houses international men of mystery and university professors. epstein himself couldn't spell that well

When reddit was still new-ish, they did a blog post about their userbase, you know interesting facts type stuff. One of these was “cities with the most redditors”.

The top location of redditors, by a lot if I remember, was Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Reddit has since scrubbed any mention of this ever happening.

Reddit is the op. Like every op, from political to advertising and marketing. (The people who pay Reddit directly to post ads have to be some of the dumbest people alive. Anyone taking it seriously buys sock puppet accounts to make their Op/advertising look “native.”) Also, so many redditors have brain worms from too much mainstream news and advertising that they basically perform ops on themselves.

I live a few miles from Kincora and researching this stuff really does my head in. My personal way of making sense of what happened during the Troubles is that the British state basically used the north of Ireland as something like an imperial laboratory where it could test out and put into practice all the counterinsurgency theories it learned while managing its dying Empire, ie all the false flag attacks, dirty tricks, black propaganda ops etc. were basically just state terrorism, initially part of a strategy of tension to discredit an insurgent Civil rights movement in the late-1960s, which "got out of hand" and became something much more sinister from the 70s onwards. But there's so much to it, and it is all so dark, and so bleak, so it can be overwhelming trying to understand it all

My grandfather was a fairly high-level RUC (former police service of Northern Ireland) officer back in the 70s. He never went into details but he quit his role in the mid-80s alongside leaving the Orange Order. He was a deeply-bigoted cruel man and an ardent Unionist who supported Northern Ireland remaining British at all costs. He was closely aligned to the DUP and was on first-name terms with Paisley and other Unionist figures. From what little I've been able to gather, he was party to intelligence regarding the Kincora Anglo-Irish paedophile ring and quit out of disgust over how so much evidence was being swept under the carpet or classified as national security.

that page links to the rotherham child sex abuse scandal and that page has been significantly updated since I last looked and it will make you lose all faith in humanity. *extremely* suspicious behavior on the part of the authorities there.

there were two or three women who investigated the situation and they all found not only smoke but extremely large flames and they could describe the flames in perfect detail, and the authorities refused to act.

I don’t want to find out what aspects of that case are still being covered up. from what I can tell it seems like the johns, if that is the correct term for this context, were never seriously looked into.

whereas in OPs Wikipedia page there is only johns and that got lost.

please note I hesitate to use the word johns as a term here because I don’t want to imply -however slightly- any level of consent.

Was he Special Branch by any chance? I've read that RUC Special Branch, along with MI5 and military intelligence, were not only aware of but were actually actively using the child abuse at Kincora to blackmail certain Loyalists (eg John McKeague), politicians etc to do... God knows what. Whole thing is so hosed up

Wired's Danger Room team is doing a video AMA next week. Ask Them Anything.
Posted by erik [hueypriest] at 08:58 |
Labels: interviews, rail guns, video, wired
The Danger Room team (Noah Shachtman, Katie Drummond, & Spencer Ackerman) are all in NYC next week and were gracious enough to agree to spend some time answering your top ten questions about military technology, national security, and anything else. This will be a video interview and we'll ask them the top questions as of 9am EST on October 20th. Ask them anything HERE.

About Noah Shachtman
Noah Shachtman keeps finding himself in stupid situations, as a contributing editor at WIRED and the editor of its national security blog, Danger Room. When he's not embedding with Marines in Afghanistan's opium country or defusing roadside explosives with a Baghdad bomb squad, he's sneaking into the Los Alamos nuclear lab, chasing down suspects on Chicago's West Side, orundergoing experiments by Pentagon-funded scientists at Stanford. (And let's not even get into the Taser incident.) Shachtman wasn't always this dumb: before getting into journalism and national security nerditry, he worked as a professional bass player and campaign staffer on Bill Clinton's first presidential campaign. These days, he also serves as a non-resident fellow at the Brookings Insitution, and writes occassionally for the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and others. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife,
Elizabeth, and his son, Leo.

The fine print

To get credit for meeting another redditor at the rally, you'll need to exchange usernames and two-digit "rally codes". You can find out your own rally code at reddit.com/rally. After the event, when you're back on the Internet, you just type in the names and codes of the people you met and collect all your points. (If you have a cameraphone and / or printer, it's even easier; see below.) Important: Both redditors will need to verify each other's rally codes in order to get the points.

All photos must be taken at a rally or one of the related events (afterparties, etc). Satellite rallies are okay too, within reason; "The Official Florida State Freshman Dorm Fifth-Floor Lounge Reddit Rally of 2010, population: 2" probably isn't going to make the cut.

Photoshops will be disqualified (or, if really clever, pardoned) at the sole discretion of the admins, whose judgment is final. We'll also get really mad at anyone who posts their rally code online.

We don't yet know where we want you to submit your photos. Just hang onto them for now and we'll get back to you on that.

We admins will be making a post the morning of the rally with details of where we're standing (including GPS coordinates) and what we're wearing (including photos). So log on to reddit before things start, or get the information from one of the many redditors you meet.

Hey, does anyone remember October?

In case you missed the 947 blog posts, there were a few rallies held on the 30th. We promised you trophies and graphs, and we've finally finished crunching the numbers.

Graphstravaganza

We borrowed a computer that looks like this and mapped out all the connections you made with your QR codes.
With the use of graph theory and a few well-placed PMs, we were able to identify which cluster was DC and which were the satellite rallies. We also found a few suspicious submissions, but to the suspects' credit, every one of them openly admitted to cheating when we asked about it. Thanks for your (belated) honesty!

Okay, so we were talking about graphs... Let's start with the big one, the Washington DC rally. 1909 redditors reported in from there, establishing 12,987 connections amongst themselves! If you'll forgive our hubris, we've put ourselves at the center of the graph in red and colored everyone based on how many hops away they are from us. It's a very tight cluster, which makes it a good model of the actual rally, where we were embedded in a ten-by-ten tent surrounded on all sides by an ocean of people.

Interestingly, everyone was five or fewer degrees of separation away from us with the sole exception of RainbootedRobot (bottom of graph, in purple), whose tent number of 6 qualifies for a special trophy variant.

The graphs for the satellite rallies follow. Post a comment about which constellation / chemical / Zelda dungeon each one looks like!

Thats the one where they did nothing because the kids were basically homeless prostitutes right? And when it all came out they threw up a smoke screen of ‘well u know what muslims are like’ and no more was said about the police and the country got a little more racist
