Autist needs help!!!!!!!!!!! (Please) (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Ihatepizza2

I have a friend who found some new (he is sure) leads. He does not want to collate it on his computer as he feels that could put him at risk. The lead is so large that he does not have the resources or skills to put it all together / archive/ share.

He is afraid that if he mentions any of it the whole thing might disappear before it is all logged / archived.

He's trying to figure out if there is a group he can dump all the leads to (in private?) that can provide the resources and skills that he cannot to catalog the leads.

Can anyone help / advise how he might share what he knows (in a way that he knows it's going to the right people)?

Here's the simple truth:

If Pizzagate is real, not releasing information could endanger many people. If Pizzagate is not real, releasing it will not put your friend in any harm.

Now, here's the least risky way I can think of doing this. This is way more effort than I would take, but if your friend is paranoid...well, this is about as good as it can get.

  1. Backup your hard drive without incriminating information.
  2. Put the incriminating information on an external hard drive/USB stick
  3. Boot up laptop in an alternative operating system (Linux Mint, Ubuntu, etc.)
  4. Connect to public WiFi somewhere
  5. Use a VPN or a proxy while on the public network
  6. Upload to three or four separate channels (Mega, Cloud services, Pastebin, etc.)
  7. Distribute this information to individuals on Voat, and let them carry the torch.
  8. Physically destroy USB drive with incriminating information. First, burn the plastic casing, emerse the remaining drive in corrosive acid, and crush it before disposal.
  9. Uninstall the new OS, wipe computer clean, restore to factory settings, and use hard drive backup to regain your original files/etc.

hey m8 this is much more complicated i think, don't just download tails and feels save. It depends on so much more factors.

it's all about the meta data.

So for a non tech savvy user the only way to keep the metadata in check is doing it analogue.

This means: 1. In most instances, do not use VPN, proxies or TOR. These things leave strong signatures and can hurt you bad if wrongly used. leave it to the pros.

  1. get a throwaway notebook in cash with no cameras around, with no mobile phone, RFID or bluetooth stuff on you in a** populated** area. Can also be second hand. goal is to get a NIC with MAC address that is not connectable to you or anyone you know.

  2. Use that notebook only for short times on public WLAN. You could also purchase throwaway SIM cards and mobile internet stick. with that notebook you can use any OS, even windows 10. cause remember we keep metadata in check the analog way.

  3. In windows i would of course physically disable the notebook camera if present. mic too.

  4. Now depending on target, goal, budget, possibilities and paranoia level use that notebook only on one remote location, at random times, as short as possible. Remove batteries of all devices when moving. Rule 2 stuff applies.

  5. leak stuff

  6. throw away devices

  7. Eg, if you had come here with tor browser and live in a low populated area... with ISP data retention they traced that tor traffic right back to your account. so might as well just PM some users you think you can trust.

disclaimer: i am sure i left some important stuff out that will still get you caught

PS: if you did your research without opsec, your leaking opsec might be totally worthless.

Cover speakers too, speakers can record sound. OP this guy is right on the money though.

IMO if you do your due diligence and make it difficult to find out who you are you will be fine. Once this investigative community has the info tens of thousands of people will have it in hours. They won't have time to care about the source, and it wouldn't matter once it's out there.

Not strictly true. Highly improbable. Microphones yes and any passive analog transducer device can work as a microphone, passive analog speakers can work as a dynamic microphone yes but it would require them to be connected to a microphone preamp outputting to an ADC which outputs a digital signal to the computer. And the mic preamp would have to stand both mic and line level signals because it would have to an be able to stand the line level signal from the loop back of your computer's sound card output connected in parallel with the speakers and the preamp. In theory this could be done with headphones working as microphones because these are essentially passive speakers but we do not really have the technology to make are preamp let alone an ADC without a preamp which can handle both microphone and line level signal sources connected in parallel on the same line. I beliece it would be very hard to bias a preamp like that, resulting in terrible distorted sound. And nobody would be able to hear what you're saying when you play music from your compute for two reasons, one the speakers are the microphone so sound comes out of the same acoustic decide trying to record overpowering the audio of somebody talking, and two, even you could discern a conversation over the sound from the speaker the audio output to the speaker would be connected in parallel with the preamp, the input, you would have the analog line level output signal of your audio going over into your preamp, that would for sure overpower any audio signal coming it the preamp from the speaker working as a microphone. Already highly improbable a passive speaker could work as a microphone, especially at the same time it is being used as a speaker to play music. So while not necessarily impossible that this this could work, it is highly improbable. Even more improbable with active or amplified speakers because the high power audio amplifier circuitry would have to be connected in parallel with the line out and the preamp for it to work and that would fry the preamp and the output circuitry in a sound card, it would probably, fry the whole audio card actually. Microphones are what you want to be worried about.

Wow... Thanks

No problem. Hope you understand?

I understand the gist of it, although I'd say you certainly know more about it than I do.
