Oh dear Lord Keith Olbermann tweet

Apparently the QANON morons are gathering in downtown Dallas because JFK, Jr. will be making a big announcement tomorrow at Dealy Plaza, right by the grassy knoll.

The Durov brothers founded VK (biggest social media network in Russia) in 2006. Putin's allies seized it in 2012/13, and Pavel Durov fled Russia. Telegram is a UK/US registered firm. It is closing in on 700 million global users.

Telegram has HARDCORE underground neo Nazi global networks on it. Far beyond most of these 'Porkchops on Parade' militia cosplaying Meal Team 6 Rumpykin stooges (who are a threat too, but vastly less potentially lethal per individual member). Think Timothy McVeigh (168 killed, 680 injured, many permanently) and/or Anders Behring Breivik level (77 killed, 319 injured in multiple Oslo locations, many permanently, in just a few hours) potential carnage per active cell member.

55. Telegram isn't social media, it's just group messaging software.
Tue Nov 2, 2021, 09:18 AM
Nov 2021

It's just an encrypted chat service, like WhatsApp or Signal; I've used it to buy MJ, for example. It's gotten so popular with the rabid right because it has a "channel" feature, which is essentially a one-way group chat with unlimited members; users can follow e.g. Roger Stone's channel and receive what amounts to text messages from him, but can't reply.

The insidious aspect of all this is that since it's a messaging service not social media, where there's no persistent, visible postings - there's absolutely zero oversight or moderation, none whatsoever. A channel admin can say literally whatever they wish to their followers and nobody can block, edit, delete or even fact-check it; in addition since it's encrypted, nobody who's not part of a channel can see what's being said. Some channels take all comers, but some, presumably the truly dangerous groups, vet potential subscribers to ensure secrecy.

Imagine Carlson's show, but with zero corporate or.govwrnment regulation, and the only knowledge the world has of it is what the viewers choose to publicly reveal.

1999, to be exact. The bodies were eventually recovered, but that doesn't faze the conspiracy theorists. I guess they just assume that some random body was falsely identified as JFK Jr. to cover up the fact that he was still alive. Or something?

He was such a wonderful man, and very political - he was forced to retire in 1962 (at age 65!) as head of the YMCA based in Geneva, so he moved to North Carolina to head up the YMCA conference center there and worked for civil rights in the '60s. I met him in the late '80s and Bill Clinton was his candidate in 1992. I keep thinking that he'd be heartbroken if he saw what was happening now.
