I don’t know how to post a link on FR...but a few days ago somebody posted a blog by Thomas Wictor....HE explains that Flynn was a part of a operation to catch the “leaker” red handed as it were with something that sounded like it was out of a Tom Clancy novel but seems to have worked. It’s called the Barium Meal or the Canary Trap...I am sure intrested folks can find it on here on keyword or just look for Thomas Wictor’s blog ....
Fascinating...Trump is light years ahead of these bozos...as someone in FR said a while back...Trump plays Three Dimensional Chess while the media and Dems and GOPe guys are playing old man checkers!

<img src="[web server location]">

You can't just snag a favorite picture from a desktop folder...it has to be hosted someplace on line to be posted here.

Best bet is to save the image to an image hosting service, I use Photobucket. In Firefox right click and select "Copy image location", in Safari right click and select "Open image in new tab" and copy the address in the address bar. Other browsers have similar tricks.

Example:
This: <img src="http://www.notablebiographies.com/images/uewb_09_img0611.jpg">

Tip: control the size with "height=nnn" like so:

Cynwoody adds this tip:

You can pre-cue a YouTube video by adding a t parameter to the link. Like so:
<a href=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f66kEastC58&t=35s>Bill Ayers on Obama> Posts:

Way cool! Thanks Cynwoody!

Exactly.

Someone needed to take a fall for Team Trump in order to expose the leakers and Flynn, as a good and loyal soldier (with a great pension) was up for the task.

I know what you are talking about. I got an email from a freeper with the link to the blog. I read it, but later when I went back to it, the link was completely gone, as if it had never existed.

I saw that yesterday. It sounded very believable and plausible. I was much less ready to believe it after reading the rest of the guy’s website. He was a little... scattered, shall we say. And I didn’t see any sources for his info, but may have missed it. I took it as his own speculation. It was still interesting to read, though. And I hope he’s right.

Here you go:

LEAKERS BEWARE: DONALD TRUMP HAS UTTERLY DEFEATED THE DISLOYAL COTERIES OF THE US INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY

President Trump has defeated Democrats in the intelligence community (IC) who were leaking classified information to the press. Such leaks have been a problem for many presidents, but Trump is the first who took a proactive approach and set up a sting operation that identified the leakers.

It’s highly illegal to leak classified information. It’s also illegal to PUBLISH this information, but Trump is too smart to try and prosecute reporters.

I thought that Trump would fire members of the IC until the leaks stopped, but the president solved the problem with a much more imaginative and deadly approach: He fed the IC false information. When this information was published, Trump was able to identify individual leakers.

How?

Each group or individual, who leaked was given a different version of events. This is CLASSIC spycraft. If nine individuals are told nine different stories, and then each of those stories is published, you know the identity of each person who talked to the press.

It’s called a “barium meal,” after the medical test used to detect problems in the gastrointestinal tract. Soft tissues don’t show up on X-rays. Barium salts are “radio-opaque,” meaning that they show up in a radiograph or X-ray.

Author Tom Clancy called it a “canary trap.” You give multiple sources multiple versions of events. When the sources repeat their version word for word, you can identify each leaker individually.

Magic
In World War II, “Magic” was the code name for the code-breaking done by the US Army’s Signals Intelligence Service (SIS) and the US Navy’s Communication Special Unit. Japanese military code was called “Purple.” Although Magic had been able to break much of Purple, some things were still a mystery.

Magic determined in early 1942 that the Japanese were close to carrying out a major attack. However, the location of the attack—which the Japanese called “AF”—could not be figured out. Therefore the Americans carried out a barium test: Using an underwater cable, they contacted Midway Island, telling the base to broadcast a radio message “in the clear” that the desalinization plant had broken down.

The Japanese immediately sent a coded message to their forces that the desalinization plant at AF had broken down.

Now the Americans knew that the target of the impending attack was Midway Island. The greatest admiral in the US Navy—Frank Jack Fletcher—was sent out to meet the Japanese before they arrived.
