J. Orlin Grabbe's website has posted a link to the names, co-ordinates, & satellite images(!) of U.S. bases, claiming our nuclear weapons are stored there.
This site has previously posted satellite images of Fort Knox & other sensitive U.S. facilities.
Grabbe is an odd character. Many FReepers are familiar with his information-packed site. I was a regular visitor for a while, since he wrote some very useful articles about cryptography, steganography, & digital money. However, his site has recently degenerated (or been hijacked) into a viciously anti-U.S., anti-FBI, anti-Israel propaganda screed. Or perhaps it is a very bizarre experiment in extreme disinformation.
He himself supposedly lived in Nevada; heavily promoted Costa Rica as a libertarian paradise, & now claims to be living in Dubai -- an Arab port city of extraordinary luxury, with ties to African scams & money-laundering operations; a logical base for funding terrorists.
Grabbe keeps trying to launch his own electronic currency, the Digital Monetary Trust (DMT), an e-cash backed by a [small] basket of major world currencies & gold. His site's Mission Statement is a sort of libertarian call for private money beyond the reach of all corrupt gummints, but the site has metastasized into some grotesque fantasy.
He seems to be a CIA reject, &/or has some longstanding personal war with our intelligence community.
The shiny new Dept. of Homeland Security should check out JOG & his pals, pronto.

Grabbe's website occasionally had some interesting info, and I used to check it from time to time.
Then he admitted to having fabricated a report by "Pentagon experts" that said there were "five "cutting charges" placed in the Murrah Building in OKC. He said he added one charge just to throw those who were considering Gen. Partin's analysis off the track...
Grabbe is disinformation personified...
I wholeheartedly disagree. Disagreement with the status quo and with popular leaders is a very healthy thing. I would argue further that supression of unpopular ideas is truly dangerous, since outlawing certain ideas drives them underground where they may fester into bitterness and violence. Neither you nor I should be trusted to determine what others may think and say. Better that ALL ideas should be freely discussed and freely judged in the plain light of day.
Orlin Grabbe is a contrarian and a curmudgeon, but a very smart guy. While I strongly disagree with him on many issues, I find it worthwhile to read what other people are thinking. The last thing I want to do is shut him up. If the Department of Love moves to silence Grabbe, rest assured that this forum is not far behind.
By the way, there is nothing in the linked article on nuclear weapons storage sites which is classified. All of the locations and their activities are openly published and common knowledge, and have been for decades.
Ever figure out what his game is?
No. You have to go to the Verisign Global Registry first to find the correct place to run whois.
The registrar for orlingrabbe.com is Network Solutions.
Nevertheless, I believe "Jorlin" has either passed over the edge into paranoia or is having a jolly good laugh playing a private or covert experiment in PsyOps.
His site is certainly a magnet for the marginally informed and the dangerous - the traffic from which is probably of great interest to just the kind of people "Jorlin" pretends to expose.
Then...there are the babes, which he began adding, one every day, some two years ago. They all seem to be East European prostitutes who qualify with belly-button piercings.
"Jorlin" may want to attract and manipulate the sort of bully-boys he supposes predominate inside the nation's security establishment, the sort who killed Kathleen Wiley's cat and razed the Koresh compound.
He hated Clinton, but he is positively LaRouche about George W.
There is also the distinct possibility that he has been bought and paid for by certain parties in the Gulf region. He has been spending a lot of time there.
You have not shred of information that he's posted anything that is classified, and isn't already freely available to the public.
Orlin provides lots of links to lots of information; nowhere on his site does he say that every shred of it is the Gospel truth; he presumes that if you have a brain in your head, you will fathom that for yourself.
Your call for a Government investigation of him reeks of a Clintonian "Sick the IRS on them" attitude.
If you don't like what he posts, don't visit his website. But smearing him and calling for the government to do an anal probe on him is just plain ridiculous.
When you mix one truth in amongst 99 absurdities and lies, most people assume the truth is a lie also.
Standard disinformatzia technique for diverting people from discovering the truth...
From time to time I suspected I caught a whiff of Charlie India Alpha or other "shilling" on Kalliste... BTW, I don't go there anymore.
Maybe the pics are for his Dubai contingent. If you want that stuff, his site is hardly where you'd surf.
I don't understand it either; he used to be informative and cutting edge on a lot of info, but now it's mostly stuff I've seen elsewhere.
