“It’s primarily the new generation,...”

That may be what bothers me - it’s almost like their jargon and style of presentation was influenced by Tolkien - they make it sound like the hobbits are being gathered from the shire for a great purpose.

I’m well aware there are strategies in play that are outside of MSM awareness and reporting, but I’m fine with that and can do without the dramatic flourishes of the mysterious Mr Q and his cryptic revelations.

As you know, I’m one who thinks Trump has more of an upper hand than he lets on - you and I have gone back and forth about this - but I think draining the swamp is like draining out my heating pipes - a bit iterative - open a valve here, one run of pipes drains, releasing trapped air here, then another, then another. It takes a while and a lot is happening, but it’s not rocket science.

If one reads the FISA court findings of significant intelligence compliance issues during Obama, I think you come to the conclusion that is a total cluster f*ck. Power corrupts and it is corrupted. It unfortunately serves a powerful function for protecting the home land.

The government knows exactly what has happened as there still good oversight people and processes within the government. The DOJ IG report will be explosive.

Yes, you could almost see BK's antennae go up. Graham didn't want to be more specific, but it's now out there. Fox isn't following up on it; perhaps they want to let it cook a while yet.

I think the 'antennae' was actually the control booth asking through his earpiece to get Graham to verify. Control booth operator was acting on instinct at first but then thought better or was overridden at which point Kilmeade was just told to get back on topic. There's likely still back room discussion at Fox over whether it's the right time for this. Judge Napolitano already got into trouble there over the same issue remember.

Rooted out properly. If instead we ignore the law and due process, there will be a shitstorm which we will lose. Then the next Dem administration will continue the descent into a Banana Republic at full speed.

We either have the rule of law, or we have nothing.

Worth repeating!

What would be an example of the length of entry needed for 50 bits of data to give a time and location for meet-ups?

THIS is why Mexico doesn’t want them back and why the gov’t hopes they aren’t deported. THEY WILL MAKE TROUBLE FOR THE MEXICAN GOV’T BY ASKING HARD QUESTIONS.

The DACA discussion in the interview is just more noise but you've made an excellent correlation that deserves to be disseminated.

My issue is that he was curiously incurious about all this back during the primaries when he and several others were like the cat that ate the canary, could barely restrain themselves they were so cocksure and smug that Trump would never win, they knew then including Graham. He was perfectly content to hang Trump with it at the time. Pardon me for being less than impressed that he’s decided to try to run out in front of the parade now that the worm has apparently turned.

I do not disagree, but there must be an outrage expressed, a clamorous call and agitation day and night or such measures will not be made.

Assurances of “we know our jobs” be damned. Subversion has already occurred and assurances are dismissive to me. Demand action in every utterance is my insistence.

If Graham’s conclusions are true, then then conspiracy by DOJ/FBI was intended to deprive 62 million voters of their civil rights, a criminal offense.

The pedophiles and child traffickers on the losing team from 2016 and the former administration, in the intelligence agencies and in congress will be getting what they deserve.

I love Mexico, I speak Spanish and I go there moderately often - I’d go more if it wasn’t such a Socialist pit of a state.

I was in Oaxaca a couple of years ago (big drug crime/corruption/teachers union problems) and I saw monuments to the emigrants who had been ”forced” to leave. The state-paid artist made it sound like the US had forced them to leave Mexico or had kidnapped them at night and wouldn’t let them come back. But it was simply conditions in Mexico that made them leave.

In truth, Mexicans love living in Mexico and would be back in a second if they had a functional country to go to. Bear in mind that the water in Oaxaca (and most of Mexico and even Mexico City) is not potable. And Mexico cannot even provide it’s citizens with drinkable water? And they want to know why Mexicans are running away and they want to blame us?

I’m hoping Trump will give them a reality check, because we’ve always just shrugged and ignored the dysfunctionality of our teachers-union controlled, anti-Catholic, socialist neighbor to the south that lets its politicians blame all its hardships on the US. Time to make them become a real country.

BTW, don’t forget that Trotsky and many other early Marxists spent time in Mexico and seriously corrupted things there. It has been anti-Christian for a long time, and clergy and religious (such as nuns) were only allowed to appear in public in clerical dress very recently.

Might look something like this: http://www.lifeformz.com/cgi-bin/idea/idea.fcgi Note that the output is grammatically correct (more or less). The more constraints you put on the text you want, the lower your ciphertext bandwidth will be. But let's say there are 20,000 words in your dictionary, the base 2 log of 20,000 is 14. That means you get 14 bits for each word you choose. If you need to send 50 bits of data, you will need to send 4 of those words chosen from the list (4 words will allow you to send 57 bits). The recipient will take each word and look up its ordinal value in the list and convert that to binary. If it is word number 9,876 your 14 bits are 10011010010100. That is the "word salad" solution and it would draw suspicion by an adversary.

If you want grammatically correct text like that generator, then each word you choose is limited to an adjective, noun, verb, article, etc depending on the position in the sentence. Since the first word might be an article, that will only be 1 binary bit at best ("the" or "a"). Sometimes the article is constrained. The next word might be an adjective, if there are 5,000 adjectives that is 12 bits. Then another adjective or maybe a noun with 10,000 choices for the noun (13 bits).

You can see that grammatically correct or plausible phrases are more and more limiting so you need to send more words. Another factor to consider is that the adversary may figure out the encoding, so it is probably not good to have a fixed dictionary between the sender and receiver. That means the sender will need to send even more words to tell the receiver how to set up the dictionary.

The bottom line is that the generator I linked above is probably well over 50 bits, and would work.

Disgrace.

Flynn should have his charges thrown out and if not POTUS should pardon him when this is all done.
