Yet more on the "Mystery Poster" aka "Deep Modem" aka "Anon"

[Duer 157099]

Thanks to LCoyote and others for keeping this alive with numerous threads that are packed full of leads.

I don't think there's been a thread yet, though, that really focuses on the original blog entries of this poster.

In my opinion, the poster has a very, very thorough posting history that started in late 2004 and ran until April of this year. There are nearly 2,000 blog entries at the site, and they all are very well sourced. The navigational setup, though, can lead one to think that there are fewer posts there than there actually are.

Plug this search string into the Google search box, and feast on the 1,970 hits that you get:

constantpated site:blogspot.com

It's all there, and it's been there for a year or two or three.

Here, as a start, is the most recent set of postings, from April of this year:

http://constantpated.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

In addition, I think that Anon has contributed to yet another site. There's a whole "book" on the topic there: (I believe Anon was going by the nick Philosophicus at this site)

http://www.correntewire.com/bush_warrantless_domestic_surveillance

These two parts of the "book" are particularly relevent, and lay out much of what Anon has been cryptically alluding to in many of his postings:

http://www.correntewire.com/the_network_architecture_of_treason
http://www.correntewire.com/treasonous_devices_weapons_of_mass_surveillance_4

Note in particular the conclusion that for around $1000 of equipment, one would be able to setup a network IP tracer (thingy -- obviously I didn't read it very carefully, just got the gist). I suspect this is what Anon means when he says that "somebody" has already done this and has all the data.

There was a poster on DU who only posted for a few months last year, who seems to either have been aware of Anon's posts or at least was on a parallel research path -- the writing does not seem (to me) to be Anon, although who knows:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=2618792

It might be worthwhile to make sure multiple people have offline copies of the posts on the blogspot blog...

[havocmom]

1. What is the term? Mirroring? where different people put up a site's pages on other places

so it doesn't get lost? I am no techie, but these things would do with some mirroring and, yes, copies offline. If the NSA can see where all you've been, can they clean out what you saved?

Hard copies. I really like hard copies. And I ain't telling ya where I stash 'em neither ;)

[L. Coyote]

2. AVOID CONFUSION. "Anonymous Lawyer" on CREW seems the source

Good idea, this OP. When I've attempted to get discussion on substance, there has been no response.
I hope the posters here can stay closer to the OP focus than on previous thread.

A timeline comparison has still not beendone, but apparently someone pastes (with changes) from these (below)
comments on CREW to other domains. To avoid confusion the CREW comments are attributed to "Anonymous Lawyer."
They are a conversation directed at the CREW lawyers, it seems, and make more sense in their original context.

These links should allow some comparisons with previous blogs, and the other anonymous postings.
Hopefully the trolls doing weird post on TPM have been outed enough to go away.

13. Just because there is lack of discussion,

do not think there is lack of interest. I have read and bookmarked
every thread concerning Deep Modem I read. I do not dicuss much because
I am a cybertard who s largely ignorant on how to trace the poster etc.
Much appreciation for keeping up with the postings and bringing them
to DU.

3. Nomenclature.

"Deep Modem" (DM) came into use in reference to the TPM posts.
The one that garnered the most attention was on July 27.

Snow: Mueller Didn't Mean What He Obviously Meant on TSP
By Spencer Ackerman - July 27, 2007, 2:33 PM
http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/003805.php

The wages of obscuring a wide-ranging surveillance program are severe, and they force White House spokesmen to enter into absurdity.

Yesterday, FBI Director Robert Mueller testified ....

"Mystery Poster" is anyone posting without using a name, such as myself. I am an admitted "mystery poster" on TPM!

"Deep Modem" is the person copying the "Anonymous Lawyer's" comments from CREW and pasting them elsewhere.

[L. Coyote]

4. History.

The Blogosphere takes note of the July 27 TPM postings, w/o noticing
the comments from "Anonymous Lawyer" on CREW from 11 April to 14 July.
It was several weeks later that constantpated site:blogspot.com was
turned up, reported by researchers on dKos, and presumed the DM source.

Wed Aug 01, 2007 - Blogosphere's "Deepthroat" Emerges - by Residentcynic
http://dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/8/1/42635/43285

Found on Democratic Underground a reference to a blogger on TPMMuckrakers that is deep-throat-esque, and has sensitive information regarding Bush and Co.'s lies and obfuscation of FISA, TSP, NSA, and warrantless wiretapping investigation.

... He/she has posted around a dozen entries of profound insight to the inner workings of the Total Surveillance Program (TSP) and the FISA investigation happening now in Congress. The depth and detail in the blogger's posts suggest he/she is in a high level cabinet position. His/her intent is to expose the WH and its cronies, and to shine the light of day on the ongoing deception within the Executive Branch.

Further, he/she discusses the fact that the TSP began earlier than had been reported. ....

I’ve spent most of my evening doing a variety of searches, in a variety of engines and I came across this site (http://constantpated.blogspot.com/)and the questions-to-the-reader type of writings from the poster made me think about the Deep Modem comments.

26. Yes, many authors

Here's one quote from one of the authors:

Portions of part 1 were originally published on Talk Left (with many good comments), and mentioned here, and implicitly here; links have been added here. Parts 2 and 3 are new. The indented portions of what follows are from philosphicus; the unindented framing is from Corrente. We solicit your feedback.

more here http://www.correntewire.com/the_network_architecture_of_treason

I believe, just based on my own research, that "philosophicus" is very likely Constant. This is the person who contributed the detailed network architecture analysis.

The last message Buttercup found (below) seems a little suspicious....Supposedly Ch*n*y will be leaving the week of the 17th, but there are so many stories coming out now that *ush will attack Iran in this coming month. Hasn't it been Ch*n*y that has been pushing for attacking Iran? Why would he leave now??? Something doesn't sound right! I don't think this is the same person. :shrug:


http://www.tpmmuckraker.com/archives/003994.php

They will be picking a new VP soon. I have told you all that Rove wasgoing, then he went. I told you all Gonzales was going and he went. I am now telling you Cheney is going. 2 and 1/2 weeks is the time frame. Cheney is next. The deal has been made, Bush has to chop off his "right arms" to spare himself. This is how Impeachment came off the table. Washington backroom politics are at work here and I feel it is my responsibility to "turn on the lights". This horrible dirty deal protects democrats from backlash and protects Bush from ever being held accountable. It is a win-win for politicians and as usual a great big loss for America as a whole. Watch it unfold people, Then remember these posts. They will be the only glimpse I ever give you. While exposing this crooked deal here with no name is a risk I can take, I will never let myself be known. It is not safe or wise to go against these people.

14. Unidentified Poster. A good name would be "Glass Ball" for psychic BS.

This poster claims to know the future. I suspect that this is a troll taking advantage of the "mystery" to Dem bash. A search of the keywords reveals that after the posts are placed on TPM, they are quoted at various other sites and attributed to DM, probably to, hopefully, lend credence or acceptability to the Dem bashing. The Dem bash is the claim that deals have been made. All rather transparent, especially given the speed of dispersal. Also, some of these follow fast on a TPM article thread appearing on DU.

To stay on topic = substance = with each post: I'm reading some of the articles discovered via this thread, and there is a gold mine of new writing at Corrente. From:

The network architecture of treason
http://www.correntewire.com/the_network_architecture_of_treason

The Republican “wiretap” talking point is a diversionary tactic

“Wiretap” is a talking point that really sits up and works for the Republicans, because in this context, it confuses the exact issue they want to confuse. To the casual reader, wiretap suggests voice, like the FBI planting a bug in a Mafia don’s phone. However, because of the way that the Patriot Act was drafted, “wiretap” can be construed to mean Internet communication.

.....

Bush’s domestic surveillance system would pose no engineering challenges whatever to NSA.

So how would an agency go about surveillance on “overseas” Internet traffic on a massive scale? (Note: Since internet packets are routed from ISP to ISP without regard to borders, “overseas” is not really a meaningful term for Internet traffic, as opposed to point-to-point voice calls.) Could they do it without any rocket sciences, for not much money? Yes.

Step 1: Place monitors, probes, or taps on the Internet. Where would one place them? That’s pretty simple. Let’s look at CAIDA’s Internet topology map. .........

=================================
NOW. Consider my informant's point, that the Internet is being routed outside the US to circumvent the law and Constitution. Is that what is happening to the "capture" of Internet transmissions?

15. Constant's pations

Constant's pations' BLOG is a Gold Mine too, and it goes way back.
Below, I post a link and quotes from Nov. 2004.
One question that arises from discover of these great sources, "Why haven't they been cited on DU?"
Those familiar with my compilation threads have a good idea of my very frequent keyword searches.
And I did not turn this domain up in my research, nor did others. Who is suppressing the domain?

Is the Internet really free? I have discovered several locations where my domain is blocked on networks.
What is going on when a domain is not turning up in searches? Is this why the author stopped posting in the blog
and started commenting in the CREW blog? That might be a possibility worth considering.

So, consider this post in light of the Plame chronology:

WH Strategy to delay special prosecutor
http://constantpated.blogspot.com/2004/11/wh-strategy-to-delay-special.html

White House shell game. Who do you trust? That depends on the day of the week.

Just don't ask to see the calendar. The White House knows there is a problem. CIA agents outside their immediate control have the necessary information to show the President was aware of information about war crimes, but failed to act.......

...........

The White House strategy at this point is to smear those agents they had previously recognized as experts ....

These agents know where the evidence is located that will link the White House to war crimes ....

The President and Vice President hope to prevent the NSA and CIA from giving information received from overseas sources to the FBI and Special Counsel....

20. Good morning fellow diggers

Gold mine indeed, huh? I have no doubt, zero, that "Constant" is our Mystery Poster -- the real one, the one who (at least sometimes) posted on TPM, and on CREW. No doubt. I became aware of this blog from a post here on DU that may have been crossposted from elsewhere, not even sure of where.

Henceforth, I will be referring to this poster as Constant, and he most commonly refers to himself. He seems to be somewhat well-known in certain corners of the blogosphere.

In my opinion, the Constant postings at blogspot are *the* original source, and there's enough info there to be reading for quite some time. He is very specific in outlining not only background, but points for action as well. He's been "banging the drums" about much of this stuff (war crimes, impeachment, NSA, etc etc) for years now.

In digging through his blog, I came upon a very interesting tidbit -- he claims to be the originator of a quote, one that Barbra Streisand used (mis-attributed to Shakespeare's Julius Caesar) in a speach to the DNC, and that the cartoonist Conrad had apparently used in one of his cartoons (I haven't found it yet, but haven't looked too hard either).

Here's the quote:

Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind.

And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry.

Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded with patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader, and gladly so.

How do I know? For this is what I have done.

And I am Caesar.

http://web.archive.org/web/20030731152958/http://44thad.org/streisand.asp

http://constantpated.blogspot.com/2005/10/barbra-streisand-thank-you-for-your.html

Here's a bit of a letter he wrote to Streisand on the subject:

Ms Streisand,

I'm writing this to you because, after these many years, my efforts to remain anonymous have failed.

I had hoped to champion the cause of liberty. I apologize that I was not aware that you had read my comments before the DNC.

I had hoped to remain anonymous, but someone found me. I had faxed your PR-department a copy of a link outlining briefly who I was. However, given the imminent disclosure of my real identity, I wanted to take the time to let you know that I have been through much turmoil over what has happened.

I originally posted the comments anonymously on the WNYC bulletin board, not thinking anything of them. Then a few months later, you were reading my quote. I didn't want to come forward because I thought the words spoke more on their own.

Given how events have turned out, I feel as though I have no choice to apologize for remaining silent. I didn't think that it was appropriate for me to claim credit. After Matt Drudge posted the link to your site and caused a stir, I really didn't know what to do or say.

* * *

I simply wrote the quote from the heart. But someone has changed my words. I never added the "Shakespeare" to it.

My thought was that the words were from Caesar, as if he were speaking today. I thought that the world might understand the risks lying ahead about the Bush Administration if they were laid out in terms that were clear, but "from another era" so that people would be less "outraged" at what I was saying.

Sadly, my efforts to build a bridge between the RNC and DNC backfired, and I have a large swarm of people in the DNC who are outraged at this blog and consider it the work of someone who is wasting their time.

Another excerpt from Constant's site:

There's a famous quote that's misattributed to Shakespeare. Barbra Streisand recited to the DNC, "Beware the Leader," but it wasn't written by Shakespeare.

Trivia Question: Do you know the name of the author who wrote the quote Barbra Streisand was kind enough to share with the world?

Answer: I, Constant, am the author of the quote.

I don't know if this is true, but after reading many many of Constant's postings, it would not surprise me one bit if he indeed had authored it and had not claimed authorship. A pattern?

[L. Coyote]

21. "Constant" is certainly the proper monicker for the Blogs. However, the CREW

postings are not confirmed as the same poster. In fact, Constant disappears before the "Anonymous Lawyer" appears. Even if they "could" be the same, to avoid confusion, the CREW poster should remain distinctly named. Additionally, there is no reason why the "Anonymous Lawyer" could not have read Constant's posts, as well as everything on Corrente. Anonymous Lawyer would have no trouble finding these sources!!!

In some ways, Anonymous Lawyer takes it to a new level, in advising and suggesting to CREW ideas and statutes. Anyone else see a distinction between Constant and Anonymous Lawyer? And, why does Constant disappear, if Constant is the poster on CREW?

[Duer 157099]

25. Regarding blocking of sites

Here's a part of a post from Constant's (CPs) blog where he says the same thing:

Author of Beware the Leader Returns to Join Americans in Fight For the Constitution

Note: This site is being blocked but not by everyone.

the rest here:

22. Sometimes he calls himself Constant

24. More Constant posts from another site

This guy sure gets around.

At this point, I'm convinced that he's telling the truth when he claims authorship of the "Beware the Leader" quote. He'd be foolish to lie about it, because he would know that it would eventually come out and that he would thus render all the millions of other words he has posted as suspicious at best.

He does not seem to be such a person who would take that sort of risk.

No, I think he's the real deal.

40. red herring

the first is an allocated portable address to Yahoo; shows current location Yahoo China in Beijing

It has been my experience, although I am not savvy enough to know <em>how</em> they do it, that there are plenty of folks who manage to "pirate" these portable IPs and look like they are someone/somewhere they are not. They have bots that put tons of links into low-security opensource blogs to gin up the search engine hits to their porn sites. I have traced quite a few, and they invariably end up being in Moscow, Beijing, Ankara, some African locations, but almost always under APNIC. They grab the IP long enough to do their vandalism and then drop it. Tracing is futile.

If you trace the same address a few days later, it shows being somewhere else.

Stable release: 1.0.0 (Sept. 2006) <+/->

Free software Portal
Turtle is a free anonymous peer-to-peer network project being developed at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, involving professor Andrew Tanenbaum. Like other anonymous P2P software, it allows users to share files and otherwise communicate without fear of legal sanctions or censorship. Turtle's claims of anonymity are backed by two research papers provided in the "external links" below.


Architecture
Technically, Turtle is a friend-to-friend (F2F) network - a special type of peer-to-peer network in which all your communication goes only to your friends, and then to their friends, and so on, to the ultimate destination.

The basic idea behind Turtle is to build a P2P overlay on top of pre-existing trust relationships among Turtle users. Each user acts as node in the overlay by running a copy of the Turtle client software. Unlike existing P2P networks, Turtle does not allow arbitrary nodes to connect and exchange information. Instead, each user establishes secure and authenticated channels with a limited number of other nodes controlled by people he or she trusts (friends). In the Turtle overlay, both queries and results move hop by hop; the net result is that information is only exchanged between people that trust each other and is always encrypted. Consequently, a snooper or adversary has no way to determine who is requesting / providing information, and what that information is. Given this design, a Turtle network offers a number of useful security properties, such as confined damage in case of node compromise, and resilience against denial of service attacks.

36. the need for speed

the need for speed

the goal is to take this administration down
we have to bypass congress and the doj
we must get grand juries empaneled
get local and state prosecutors to act, and
form a war crimes tribunal within the united states

i'm not a lawyer so i'm probably getting some of this wrong, but
i would like to volunteer my time and energy to this effort
are new du groups being formed to act in this direction?
i'm new to this forum . . . the original deepmodem group has disbanded
if someone could point me in the right direction i would appreciate it

thanks

[Duer 157099]

37. Hi, welcome to DU!

The best place I can point you to are the original postings at constantpated.blogspot.com -- he outlines specific action items, etc.

We tend to be more of an info gathering spot here with regards to this topic, at least that's how it seems to me.

Please post anything you find!

and some of the links to my "digest"

If anyone wants more added to it, IM me; I just do it when I stumble across threads like this

[L. Coyote]

42. Excellent. Word has spread that the mystery isn't so mysterious now.

The solution seems to never get the same attention as the mystery, but word is out there in the form of links back to these threads.

[MmeG]

43. Please advise where to find the word that has spread

If word is spreading I would like to know where. Been trying to follow the breadcrumbs, but not found anything of substance for several days.

48. Do keyword searches in Google, i.e. "Deep Modem" and "Mystery Poster"

Real possibility NARUS-like systems are well integrated with local governments across the country, well known, and went unreported after Sept 2001: < Other links: Click Contact: VZ Nuri theory-edge • cutting edge in algorithmics/mathematics >




Discovery: NARUS IP

Subj: NARUS ISP in re EFF v. AT&T litigation

For purposes of discovery and supporting the ongoing litigation against AT&T and the National Security Agency over alleged violations of the law, we offer the following for the court:



NARUS ISP is SBC Internet Services


NARUS account code is SBCIS-SIS80


The NARUS account name is Narus Inc SBC07112803300024051122072211
(NET-71-128-33-0-1)


The Narus IP numbers range from 71.128.33.0 - 71.128.33.255

Discovery: NARUS Capacity Utilization

Funding

The issue is: How much money would have been transferred to NARUS -- even in a diversion -- to get NARUS to take the fall? The larger issue is: Where is the money going other than NARUS, and how complicated are the funding flows in and out of Canada to these to-be-determined locations and NSA support systems.

Even if NARUS is a diversion, we do know at least one person at NARUS is breathing. Funds have been linked from AT&T, NSA/DoD, and NARUS through this financial institution: Provident Credit Union. Could this be where the NSA sends the money for the NARUS personnel? NARUS, AT&T, and the NSA payroll systems have been penetrated without NSA detection, and we can confirm the contract flow of money linking all contractors back to the NSA.

The information is also available in the backup files with GCHQ, and they can direct you to personnel inside DoJ who are currently working in an undercover capacity for the Department of Justice.

There you will find details of the employee names at NARUS, and the funds that are transferred between the various DoD-NSA contracts, AT&T, and finally into the personnel payroll accounts. It remains to be understood which specific contracts assigned to NSA are or are not in support of the President's illegal programs.

In turn, once you review the files at the DFAS office in Columbus, you will find the actual weapons systems through which the funding is transferred; and other NSA payroll information where these contracts are assigned. This will then link you to the other equipment -- outside AT&T and NARUS control -- that is also deployed around the country in other communities in support of illegal NSA domestic surveillance.

Keep in mind we are not saying that Provident has or has not done anything illegal.

The issue is: Where else is the money going besides NARUS. It appears the Canadian Mounties may be reviewing the DFAS funds transfers through Regina, Alberta then to other locations in the United States. < Click >.

As a curious comparison, it will be interesting to see how the DFAS funding flows through the NSA into the following institutions, which as of 2000 had provided $57M of funding: < Click >

Intel Communications Fund,
KPMG Consulting
NTT Software Corp.
Sumisho Electronics Corp. Ltd.
Bowman Capital
Presidio Venture Partners Ltd.
Chase Capital Partners, Inc.
Global Crossing Ventures
Mayfield Fund
Walden Ventures.
