I thought Jarrett testified that there were only 20 inch ballot images created for the election, and that no 19 inch ballot images existed. He even confirmed it’s his team that does the creating and he signs off.

So if the defense is testifying that only 20 inch images exist, AND there is only 20 inch paper, they why is shrink to fit even being talked about?

The only way I see shrink to fit being relevant in any way is if some of the machines were actually fed with 19 inch ballots, and they were trying to shrink the 20 inch image.

The co-founder, Dmitri Alperovitch, resigned the other day.

Kind of makes you wonder why a guy worth hundreds of millions at a dominant company in the cybersecurity space would decide to leave just when they are seeing so much sales success...

I’d like to know how many other texts were missing. So they had an original list of thousands of texts from that period. Now they have this missing text. Was this the only one missing out of thousands?

I’d love to see a side-by-side comparison of the original trove of messages made available months ago compared to the messages available after the “4th round” thanks to the DoD assistance. If the only delta between the two is the smoking gun text, then this topic should go to the top of the news stack for Hannity and Rush.

Trump’s supporters are all poor to middle class, uneducated, lazy POS
that think he will magically grant them jobs for doing nothing. They

and are stupidly wrapped up in his unmerited enthusiasm.”

A 77 year-old man goes up against an attacker with a knife to try to save this young woman. Meanwhile, in Broward County....

I’m not clear on this new restriction. Despite being trapped in Massachusetts, at least we have GOAL, the Gun Owners Action League.

Believe it or not, although I could be mistaken, I believe the bill that passed the legislature is a net gain for MA gunowners, and had it not been for GOAL, it would have been a disaster.

If I have it right, what this refers to is that a police chief can now prevent someone from getting an FID card, which is required to buy a rifle or shotgun. However, the way the below e-mail reads, instead of just a flat denial, the chief has to go to court and prove the applicant is unsuitable.

On top of that, laws around a license to carry (LTC) seem to have improved, whereby instead of a simple denial by a chief, the applicant for the first time has the right to appeal a denial in district court, and the Chief has to defend the denial, whereas before the applicant had no course of action.

Trust me, I still can’t stand MA draconian laws including the “consumer protection” laws that prevent many handguns from being sold here, but if you read this e-mail, thanks to GOAL, gunowners of MA made a good leap forward.

One final example... Until now you had to get the FID card to buy pepper spray. I think MA was only state in US with that requirement. Now if you are 18 you can buy over the counter. As you read the list below you’ll see how crazy the laws already were and I’m pretty happy at the outcome.

Here is the e-mail I got yesterday.

H.4376 One Step From Becoming Law.
Bill awaits Governor Patrick’s Signature.

Dear Members,

First off, we would like to thank you for all of the unprecedented hard work in communicating a strong and clear message to our legislature. Over the last 10 weeks we have overwhelmed state house phone lines, emails and mailboxes and we were heard. In a rapidly evolving legislative climate you did an amazing job staying current and on message.

Going back to the genesis of this fight, Speaker DeLeo’s H.4121, the bill we faced on May 27, 2014 was drastically different from what was passed yesterday. It literally went from being a gun control bill to being a crime control bill. Some of the many anti Second Amendment provisions that we stopped included a renewed ban on modern sporting rifles and one gun a month legislation. There are no new magazine or gun bans passed in this legislation.

We were also able to pass many good provisions including a fix of the 90-day grace period in regard to license renewals, elimination of LTC B’s, and legalization of pepper spray.

We were successful in stopping many negative and onerous articles and amendments.

The original bill would have criminalized private sales of firearms between licensed individuals.
This section was struck and private sales remain legal.

The original bill would have applied a “suitability” clause to the issuance of FID cards. This was modified so that the licensing authority now has to prove in court that the applicant is unsuitable. For the first time ever in MA, the burden of proof is upon the licensing authority.

The original bill would have made an FID applicant list a “reason” for applying. This was struck from the legislation.

The original bill would have given the licensing authority the ability to place restrictions on FID cards. This was struck from the legislation.

The original bill had very onerous language regarding confiscated/seized firearms. We were successful in getting that removed.

The original bill would have drastically increased penalties for improper firearms storage, we were successful in removing this language.

The original bill would have granted even more power to the MA Chiefs of Police and EOPSS to determine what unsuitability is. We were successful in removing this language

The original bill would have penalized licensees for not renewing early. We were able to remove this language.

The original bill would have given the MA Attorney General unprecedented power over which firearms can be purchased in MA. (EOPSS list). We were successful in removing this language.

The original bill would have given the Colonel of the State Police power to define the curriculum for firearms safety training programs and to determine suitability of trained instructors. We were successful in removing this language.

The original bill would have forced hunter’s safety courses and firearms safety courses to include a module on suicide prevention. This was amended so that the state will now provide hand out materials for the teachers.

We were able to defeat a Senate amendment which would have added one gun a month legislation.

We were able to defeat a Senate amendment which would have added a renewed AWB ban

H.4376 Accomplished many positive things for Massachusetts gun owners including:

Juniors:

Critical training language correction for juniors, this now allows trainers to provide firearms to junior shooters and hunters with parental consent

Allow juniors to apply for their FID card a year early (age 14) and receive their card at 15.

Pepper Spray:

Person over the age of 18 will no longer need an FID card to purchase pepper spray

15-17 year old can still possess - but must have an FID card

FID:

Chiefs must first petition the court to deny someone his/her FID card.

Because it is in the courts, it gives GOAL and others the ability to track what Chiefs are doing

Both licenses:

The term “prohibited person” is now being used for both licenses - instead of “suitable”

This change in the language provides a much need change in framework around whom is prohibited

The 90 day grace period - license renewal issue was fixed. Gun owners will now receive a receipt upon renewal, which makes the license valid until the new license is received.

Mental Health:

Added language so that people who voluntary seek mental health help will not be listed as a prohibited person

Olympic-style Handguns:

There will be exemptions for the sale of Olympic-style handguns in the Commonwealth

They were previously not legal to transfer by licensed dealers in the Commonwealth.

Curios and Relic Collectors:

Collectors can now purchase handguns and firearms that may not comply with the approved firearms roster

Online portal:

Created online portal for face-to-face transfers, preserving private sales

LTC:

The Class B License was eliminated; going forward there is only one License to Carry. (LTC).

Chiefs now have to put denials in writing

For the first time, gun owners can appeal their LTC restrictions in District Court - now the burden of proof is on the police chief to defend the denial or restriction in District Court and in writing

Confiscation:

We added language that if your firearms get confiscated that the licensing authority shall at that time inform the person in writing of their ability to transfer their firearms to an independent licensed individual

Lost & Stolen Firearm:

GOAL put in language so that a person who, in good faith, reports their firearm as lost or stolen - this shall not make them considered a prohibited person - period.

Military Personnel:

We extended the time period an active duty military member has to become licensed, or renew their license from 90 to 180 days.

We exempted active duty military members from having to take the mandatory gun safety training classes

Once again, we would like to thank all of you for all of the hard work. With your help we changed the tenor of the bill away from being an all out assault on lawful gun owners.

Here is their 10-K for 2008

http://www.secinfo.com/d151E3.ssb.htm

Some key excerpts:

“We released the Email Archiving solution in the fourth quarter of 2008 to address Corporate Compliance and eDiscovery issues.”

“We have patent applications pending for two aspects of our functionality that are unique. They are:
- Web Enabled Exchange Server Standby Solution Using Mailbox Level Replication
- Exchange Server Standby Solution Using Mailbox Level Replication with Crossed Replication between Two Active Exchange Servers”

“The system will leverage journaling capabilities of Mail Server to capture all emails coming in and going out of the Microsoft Exchange Server and archive it to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Server and this whole process will be transparent to existing users of the Mail System. It will utilize Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Full Text Catalog Search capabilities to provide a very sophisticated search engine to discover and retrieve emails for litigation or company’s regulatory compliance perspective. The system will also encrypt and compress email messages to avoid tempering and reduce space.”

“Major Product Features

- Automatically archive corporate email into one storage area
- Reduce email storage requirements which dramatically reduce Backup/Recovery time
- Migrate old PST files stored on client machines
- Set up email retention and categorization policies
- Helps comply with Sarbanes-Oxley Act
- Collect and archive emails in one geographical location
- Audit Archived emails
- Access emails from any location through a browser
- Advanced email search and ‘Saved Search’ capabilities
- One-Click Restore a single email to a mailbox”

Look at that one above - access e-mails from any location through a browser. Heck they should get the IT guy in front of the committee and get him to do the search live.

But why do I have a sneaking suspicion the IRS stopped using Sonasoft a few years ago and ordered them to destroy all archives... I have no data to back that up (heh heh) but it wouldn’t surprise me...

- committing treason by funneling arms to Al Qaeda

- dereliction of duty for not being prepared for the attack and ignoring pleas for better security in the days and weeks before

- letting our fellow citizens die without lifting a finger to help, while simultaneously spending the time he should have been in situation room instead plotting a political cover-up

- covering up all of the above with a phony video story

- obstruction of justice for all of the roadblocks to the investigation, including refusing to hand over info, failure to comply with subpoenas, etc.

- witness intimidation by preventing the people on the ground from testifying

- trying to cover-up the cover-up by denying the intent of the Ben Rhodes e-mails

And Nixon resigned because he tried to cover up a third-rate burglary after the fact?

The security expert, Dave Kennedy, is the real deal. The primary tool any white hat hacker would use is called Metasploit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasploit_Project

And Dave just so happens to be the primary author of the book “Metasploit: The Penetration Tester’s Guide”, which is considered the top book on Metasploit, and includes a forward by the tool’s creator, HD Moore.

When he said he could break into the site in a few hours, he wasn’t kidding. Check out this video of him on Katie Couric (sorry to make you watch Katie) but it’s quite eye opening to watch this audience member’s shock as he compromised her laptop and took control of her entire computer, including webcam.

Here is the analysis by one of the 4 witnesses, Dave Kennedy. It’s a 19 page document. He will be on Greta tonight at 7pm.

I haven’t seen it reported but I learned from a first responder that Mr. Arrendondo is holding Jeff Bauman’s femoral artery closed.
When people first see that picture (including myself) it looks like he’s just helping guide the wheelchair, but if you look at his right hand you can see it pretty clearly.

Just finished lunch at Burlington Mall. 45 min in line for me. I just walked the line at 1:30 and counted 230 people in line.

Still in line in Burlington Massachusetts. 30 min of waiting still about 50 people in front of me. Line well over 200 people now.

In line at Burlington mall in one of only 2 Massachusetts stores. At least 200 people in line and growing.

Some people are talking about the EXIF data of the photo which could prove he took it from his camera/device. But the real key is the IP address. Twitter almost definitely has records of the originating IP address. Since Weiner posted just before and right after the “hacked” post, then the “Weiner” post should have a different IP if it truly was made by a hacker.

Bear in mind that the producers of The Hurt Locker are suing 25,000 people who they claim illegally downloaded their movie, and they are using IP address records as the evidence.

So if Twitter provided the IP addresses in question, then the ISP(s) who owns it (them) could tie it to Weiner. But in this case all you’d need is to show the posts he isn’t disputing came from the same IP as the post he claimed was made by a hacker.

Wait a sec... You need an ID to set up a bank account, but requiring someone to have an ID to do things like VOTE is discriminatory to the poor who can’t afford an ID. hmm...
