Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
between the Twitter "okta leak" yesterday and this today we really need to be working on internet literacy here.
The B Gerber in the WHOIS is probably the CISO of Coupang, weirdly.
Idk why they'd use this old web-1.0 site to register their domain name, but I also don't have high opinions of the ACP's literacy either. More likely visual kinetic was just squatting the domain and the whois hasn't updated.
between the Twitter "okta leak" yesterday and this today we really need to be working on internet literacy here.
We also need to work on some comm name literacy here too since some people need to learn how to differentiate between posting unsubstantiated info to a news comm vs posting ubsubstantiated info to the shitposting comm 
(joking? lol)
although I should probably look into talking about adding 'no posting unsubstantiated news' to the rules list too now that I think about it

can only support this, would prevent lazy linking from garbage twitter threads.
this side of Maoist Twitter is practically devoted to giving these guys publicity with their 24/7 speculation I wish they would just pause a few hours to fully investigate and also question if they should be spending all of their time arguing with feds, something these very feds are telling them to do

"Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?
It won't do!
It won't do!
You must investigate!
You must not talk nonsense!"

oh I was talking about the post about the leak yesterday in c/chapo, not your attempt to make c/main c/fakenews
probably the funniest actual thing here is that they paid $7500 for their domain name lol
I have never seen whois fail to update immediately? Since when does it ever take more than a couple hours?
EDIT: Looked it up and almost every says it's usually 1-3 hours. In the WORST case scenarios it's 24-48 hours.
The domain was bought weeks ago.
It looks like the DNS record was updated at 5:01:01 GMT this morning (July 25th). The twitter post is from yesteday (July 24th)

Yeah apparently it gets a little more complicated:

Also that C&D letter is hilarious.
I've said for years now that they're feds so this really isn't that surprising. They have always been exactly what I would create if I was a fucking fed.
So is there any actual corroborating evidence or did people just see slightly similar names and locations and went 
to drag out an org they dislike
Does it matter? Because CPUSA certainly doesn't
It matters if it's going to get posted in the news comm, at least
Professor Burton Gerber
Fake ass name lmfao
Burton Erny
Baby food-ass name
Dr. Reid Tamaranda of the CIA's squirrel bones acquisition division
If this is true it burns the entire patsoc op as well as all the participants.
All thanks to total incompetence.
To think I did more due diligence setting up an inconsequential mastodon instance (i.e. making sure my given name and address isn't in the fucking DNS record lmao)
Were the patsocs shilling the ACP?
The ACP are the patsocs lol. Literally all of them. Name any patsoc and I guarantee they're involved. Everyone from Hinkle to Haz.
The only person conspicuously left out is that RT guy Caleb Maupin.
The only person conspicuously left out is that RT guy Caleb Maupin.
Too tedious and annoying for even the other patsocs perhaps?
Isnt he cancelled for sex pestery? I remember because the latsoc org purged him faster than the cp canada did with their sex pest the month before
somehow I missed that, I guess it was inevitable that he'd be a creep too
He's not a fed is my guess. Just an idiot.
The others that are involved in this project? All feds.
Too much of a sex pest even for them?
The patsuccs are the ACP.
Well then. I was already sure they were feds so this doesn't change much.
That nitter instance looks rate-limited. Use any from this list but not p*ast because they're Nazi pedos
https://xcancel.com/FalconryFinance/status/1816467676170240428
Also, isn't that a bunch of tracking info in the OP url? Everything from the ?t= and after is not necessary to see the post and should be taken off the link. OP, it's not your fault of course that the instance got rate limited but please remove tracking code from urls you post.
They aren't sending their best these days
Apparently this Party exists?
I had never even heard of them before. I initially thought this was about CPUSA. Who the fuck is even joining these loser ass parties? Jesus, the Left in the US is miserable.
At least 
are pretty solid despite being pretty tiny
Really? I was under the impression they were pretty large, relative Communist parties in the US.
People I hang out with say at most PSL has somewhere between 6,000 and 8,000 full members. That is very large for a communist org though
Well, large for a US communist party is tiny is what I meant. They're largely limited to major cities and have a hard time even getting ballot access in a lot of states. Pretty sure the post-2016 swell in DSA membership dwarfed them even though PSL is a much more ideologically coherent org that practices democratic centralism.
We're getting ballot pretty much everywhere we targeted and have a presence in at least 60 cities
CPDOA - 
Look at the other sites in his name. Tradecraft. Privacy. Bitcoin. Totally not captured honeypots.
Can't wait to see Hinkle defend this. That whole group is made.
Whoa wtf theres bitcoin domains from 2011.
According to Bitcoin Return Calculator: Analyze Your Bitcoin Investment, if you bought $100 of bitcoin in June 2011 when bitcoinwallet.us (#23 on that list) or bitcoinx.us (#12) was registered, it would now be worth $4,163,674.
Is this just a search of anyone who registered a domain and called themselves "b gerber"? It seems kind of non specific.

archived both this tweet and the quoted one for posterity
Yeah, I'm not sure how accurate this is. Its easy to dunk on the "ACP" nerds, but I think its less likely that they're feds than it is they're dipshits.
Jackson Hinkle and Caleb Maupin are clearly feds.
Not convinced by Maupin, I think he's an idiot and a sexpest but not a fed. But Hinkle is 110% a fed.
