Whoever you're talking with in Telegram is definitely a scammer. Glad you didn't pay them anything. I don't really understand how you got their Telegram name, but there's no way they actually work for the casino.

Just keep at it with contacting their main email support and try not to blow up at them. Although I can understand that it must be aggravating and I would be pissed off too.

Wish you good luck with getting your funds.

If you don't get them we will show you how to open a flag on the account that started their main thread. While there's only a slight chance it will increase your chances of getting your funds back, it will serve to warn others about what happened and make people that find them through this forum think twice before depositing there.

ps: I sent you a merit so after your account reaches 30 Activity you can post images.

Then it immediately contradicts itself by saying:

"Federal law defines terrorism as a criminal attack intended to intimidate and coerce civilians in order to influence government policy or otherwise affect government conduct."

ANTIFA and BLM fall well within that definition, and the statute in fact does exist. I am using an archived version of the site because it was intentionally scrubbed to soften the effect of the designation for political purposes. The current version has it under the "Counterterrorism and Domestic" category. I suppose you believe that means the NJ DHS thinks ANTIFA are counter-terrorists now?

You are now acting as the sole and final arbiter as to what a terrorist organization is. That's to be expected. So long as you aren't continuing to claim that Antifa wasn't declared/designated/whatever a "terrorist organization" by the government.

"Counterterrorism" and "Domestic" are two separate categories. Let's see, what other, non-Antifa reports fall under those two categories? Let's take a look.

White Racially Motivated Extremists Remain Resilient
Boogaloo Movement Gains Traction Amid Civil Unrest
Far-Right Extremists Leverage Anti-Lockdown Sentiments

And this one I think you could appreciate the most:

That same department also stated this:

https://www.njhomelandsecurity.gov/analysis/anarchist-extremists-support-violent-tactics
Quote
On May 31, President Donald Trump announced that the US government would designate Antifa as a terrorist organization, although there currently is no domestic terrorism statute that could label it as such.

Using a category label for website posts is NOT the same thing as "classifying" a terrorist organization. If you look at the website's posts that are currently under that category label, you will see there are none. They recategorized Antifa-related posts under Counterterrorism and Domestic, which is probably why you are pointing to an archived version of the website. So whatever flimsy, half-assed, quarter-truth metric you were using to "classify" Antifa as "a terrorist organization" is now gone.

Here's what it looks like when actual terrorist organizations are classified/designated/declared as such:

https://www.state.gov/foreign-terrorist-organizations/

You should have picked a better article, but instead lamely chose to defend this one article's lameness.

OK, from TS's NJ Homeland Security Office website:

Domestic Terrorism in 2019

Plots, Attacks, Threats & Weapons Stockpiling

- 21 race-based extremist (19 white supremacists, 2 black supremacists)
- 14 anti-government extremist (4 militia extremists, 4 "sovereign citizens", 6 "anti-gov't")
- 7 single-issue extremist (5 anti-abortion, 2 anarchist extremists)
- 3 domestic terrorism in New Jersey (3 white supremacists)
- 2 Jersey City Shootings, December 10 (2 black separatists)

Add up the numbers any way you want, then accuse them of being communist propaganda spreaders, I guess.

As I already said, I'm good with their doing a rewrite to incorporate events since May. In the absence of that, the reports simply not in reality, so there's no reason to attempt to opinionated further. It's really that simple.

Why don't you email them and point out this problem? I'm sure you can agree it's non trivial. Unless you are purposely attempting to trivialize the thousands of people injured and some killed in these riots, and the billions of dollars of property damage. But I didn't get that impression.

Its "simply not in reality," but you can't explain why.

The report actually describes Antifa in great detail -- did you not see that part? To hate on an article because it is outdated is also lame. Maybe after 2020 has concluded, the gray line will be above the blue line, who knows:



"Thousands of people injured and some killed"... "billions of dollars of property damage"... do you have a source for these figures or did they just sound right?

Tolerate and approve what antifa does just because right wing extremists are worst is not a good reason.

You already asked me about this and I already answered that I don't approve of what Antifa does. C'mon man. I know you're back in town to collect some of that sweet Bitvest payout but try to demonstrate a little more reading comprehension.

....First of all, the report data ends at the end of May. It doesn't take into account anything that happened in June or July. Second of all, it only takes into account "terrorist attacks and plots by perpetrator organization" -- not ALL "left wing violence." ....
Redefining the terms to arrive at a pre determined conclusion is just more of the same propaganda.

But hey, I'll grant you that his report by chance could have been completed and posted in the standard dis-information channels four microseconds before the Antifa violence and destruction commenced. However by now, given what we've all experienced, CSIS should have updated it to align with reality. They have not.

Hence, they are not even in the real world with their report and it truly does not merit rebuttal with research. You're well past historical Pravda level of disinformation here...

Nobody is "redefining terms" except for you, and none of anything you've said so far changes the fact that right wing extremists kill more people each year than Antifa. It remains incredibly lazy to simply dismiss the report as being communist propaganda because it didn't tell you what you wanted to hear. It's a highly unsophisticated knee-jerk reaction.

2 of the 3 loss you had with Aethon would have turned into big wins with at least 10% Extra Stop.

Your whole premise was supposed to be "passive income", remember? Now you come back to say "if you woulda done something other than what the bot said to do, you would have had big wins." How is that "passive," and how does it help your clients? If HCP didn't do what the correct thing to do was, why would you make that an option? I know... I'm basically asking you why would you recommend people not use the bot's default settings, LOL.

In your last post from your thread, in December, you wrote that the only reason people wouldn't join is if they hated free bitcoin. Turns out the reality is people should only join if they hate their bitcoin.

These ring wing extremist groups haven't been labeled because they didn't act in a coordinated fashion like Antifa has.

No right wing groups have been designated as terror groups because there is no legal context in which to do so, just like with Antifa. That's the point you're missing. Anybody can "label" anybody anything and it doesn't necessarily have an effect on anything. It's just rhetoric, and you bought in to Trump's rhetoric part and parcel.

You guys can argue semantics all day long but at the end of the day the assertion that "Trump has designated Antifa a terrorist organization" remains incorrect.
4353  Other / Politics & Society / Re: 'Trump Designates Antifa "A Terrorist Organization"' on: July 24, 2020, 04:02:25 AM
I can't have blamed you for "crazy for left violence" because according to your article, there is none.

What? You just did though.

Quote
The problem here isn't mine. It's yours. I didn't make or contribute to the crazy far left violence being orchestrated and played out; I'm only commenting on it.

That's you saying I made or contributed to "the crazy far left violence being orchestrated and played out," which is as equally insane as it is lazy. You're attempting to shift the argument to an emotional one because you can't present an argument based on logic or substance. It requires too much time to research and form valid objections based on facts, so you are taking the lazy way out.

Please be consistent. Either explain why they consider there to have been no left wing violence in 2020, contrary to everything the media is showing up, simply contrary to the facts.

First of all, the report data ends at the end of May. It doesn't take into account anything that happened in June or July. Second of all, it only takes into account "terrorist attacks and plots by perpetrator organization" -- not ALL "left wing violence." So all the injuries to cops (1800 was your unsourced claim) wouldn't be included unless each one was designated as a "terrorist attack" and the attack was reported as being done by antifa. For the most part I don't think the police record these incidents as falling into either category.

Maybe the data will change in the next report.

For now, you are rejecting it outright as a "fantasy" because it doesn't meet your particular standards which are based on nothing other than your desire to only accept results as true if they reinforce your world view.
4354  Other / Politics & Society / Re: 'Trump Designates Antifa "A Terrorist Organization"' on: July 24, 2020, 03:35:13 AM
I would say its actually more of a "Trump rallying his base" issue and like most proclamations Trump has ever made, nothing will become of it.

If you consider this Trump rally his base, which I agree it is, then what does that say about Nancy Pelosi when she defends Antifa and spreads the lie that it is "unmarked" agents that are arresting protesters for graffiti?

Isn't this "whataboutism"? Lol. I don't give a shit about what Nancy Pelosi does or says and I wish she was removed from office just as much as you do. She (and a few others) are the reason why we need term limits in congress.

Is it part of the left's platform or base to defend the actions of antifa?

It depends on who you are defining to be "the left." If that includes me, then I'd say no, it isn't.

It's disingenuous to say it's one guy swinging a hammer that's causing all this.

That's not what I'm saying. I was preemptively pointing to the prime example that I imagine would be used to make the case that Antifa are terrorists.

As a whole, right wing extremists continue to kill more Americans each year than every other type of extremist group - foreign or domestic - combined. Yet for some reason there's not a single mention of them here in this thread (other than by me).

Because it's whataboutism. That's why no one has mentioned it. Two wrongs do not make a right. I can assure you that these left wing groups have caused more bodily injuries within the last couple of months and financial burden than any ring wing attacks thus far this year.

What I'm actually saying is these right wing groups which have been behind the majority of all terrorist attacks on U.S. soil since 9/11 aren't being labeled "terrorist organizations" for the same reason Antifa isn't.

I hope this isn't meant to be a deflection to Antifa's antics and behavior. Antifa's been responsible for 20 million dollars of damages in the last 6 weeks alone just in Portland. Eco-terrorist groups often cause property damage oppose to mass killings but that doesn't negate their terrorist label.

You keep repeating this as if I'm supposed to cave to your stereotype and take its form.



Because there's absolutely no reason to go further. If the article contains patent nonsense, the discussion can stop right there. And I posted one of many such examples. The article raises the specter of far right violence, but every day, every one is seeing far left violence.

The problem here isn't mine. It's yours. I didn't make or contribute to the crazy far left violence being orchestrated and played out; I'm only commenting on it. And if your article is in fantasy-land, so be it. It is what it is.

Just one more example and I'm through, because there's really nothing to argue here. The article claims to survey incidents through May 2020. In 2020 it shows no incidents of left wing terrorism in a summary chart. Last I heard, there were 1800 policemen injured in the mayhem on the streets in the last several months of nonsense.

Again, you provided no qualitative counterargument and just dismissed a well-researched report as "patent nonsense" because you don't like what it had to say. Instead you basically blamed me for "crazy far left violence", LOL. You want to change longstanding definitions of terms and replace real data with what you "last heard", so that way you don't have to adjust anything about your mindset.  This is very lazy maneuvering.
4355  Other / Politics & Society / Re: 'Trump Designates Antifa "A Terrorist Organization"' on: July 23, 2020, 02:55:12 PM
The problem with your reference is that it reads like, and is in fact, a cookbook answer provided to you and others to rebut anti-Antifa arguments, such as you are here doing it it.

That doesn't make it sensible, logical, true, or useful. It could be a pack of lies. In fact, that is the way it looks to me. For example, check this out -

"One of the most concerning is the 2020 U.S. presidential election, before and after which extremists may resort to violence, depending on the outcome of the election. Far-right and far-left networks have used violence against each other at protests, raising the possibility of escalating violence during the election period."

So after 59 days (I think) of left wing anarchist violence in multiple locations we should stop everything and start worrying about right wing violence.

Really?

You didn't actually rebut anything put forth in the report. It just wasn't immediately what you wanted to hear, so you dismissed it on a source-level. That's the easy way out. I could have done the same thing with TS's Washington Examiner article but instead I looked into it and demonstrated exactly why it was incorrect.

My reference comes from what claims to be a bi-partisan think tank, and its chairman of the board is a billionaire who has made several donations to Republican candidates over a period of decades. But that's all irrelevant if you can't dissect what is actually incorrect about the report.

I don't know what the solution to the Antifa problem is, but sending federal troops to Portland certainly didn't help. People are angry at a culmination of problems and the rage has now boiled over out of the pot. The interesting thing is that a number of people from all walks of life are all joining in the protests and collectively being branded as "Antifa," which is another reason why its hard to simply label everybody involved as "terrorists" (though it certainly would be easy, wouldn't it).
4356  Other / Politics & Society / Re: 'Trump Designates Antifa "A Terrorist Organization"' on: July 23, 2020, 12:09:49 PM

That's an article from July 2017, and the NJ HS office report referenced doesn't once use the word "terrorist" or "terror" or any other derivation of the word. It classifies Antifa as "anarchist extremists." The article is flat out wrong.

The reason another selloff won't happen is because of the record-breaking capital injection by the fed. That will keep all markets buoyant for some time to come, including BTC.

So it's more of a technical/judicial issue, but you agree that they are doing actions similar to terrorist groups.

I would say its actually more of a "Trump rallying his base" issue and like most proclamations Trump has ever made, nothing will become of it.

If you want my opinion: Antifa isn't helping themselves by defacing and damaging property, throwing things at cops or lighting things on fire. And of course I think that's bad, if it really needs to be said. Certainly innocent people/businesses are getting caught up in their antics and they are discrediting their own movement.

I'd say its a little extreme to call them "terrorists" -- if they were conducting bombings, assassinations or kidnappings, then I would be more likely to agree with the label. One guy swinging a hammer at a federal agent isn't enough to sway my opinion.

As a whole, right wing extremists continue to kill more Americans each year than every other type of extremist group - foreign or domestic - combined. Yet for some reason there's not a single mention of them here in this thread (other than by me).

First, far-right terrorism has significantly outpaced terrorism from other types of perpetrators, including from far-left networks and individuals inspired by the Islamic State and al-Qaeda. Right-wing attacks and plots account for the majority of all terrorist incidents in the United States since 1994, and the total number of right-wing attacks and plots has grown significantly during the past six years. Right-wing extremists perpetrated two thirds of the attacks and plots in the United States in 2019 and over 90 percent between January 1 and May 8, 2020.

BTW, incels are responsible for more deaths in just 1 attack than all Antifa "attacks" combined, ever. They should probably be designated a terrorist organization as well.
4360  Other / Politics & Society / Re: 'Trump Designates Antifa "A Terrorist Organization"' on: July 23, 2020, 06:20:30 AM
Alright. Let me fix the statement then. Trump has declared Antifa a terrorist organization, not an official governmental body. Although I'd argue the executive branch is a governmental body, but still.

That's better, but it still has the same legal weight and ramifications as me declaring mosquitoes to be terrorists.

Actually, let's take a look at what he actually said:



This will require new laws to be written. Currently, domestic groups can't be labeled terrorist organizations. So no, he never even "designated" Antifa as a terrorist organization, nor did anybody else.

I actually pointed this out a month ago:

This was good news. It will weaken it as they won't easily be able to take in donations, and freely do other things. The members will probably shift into BLM though.

Already happening. In typical Marxist SOP, they destroy the image of one organization and shift to the next. ANTIFA are already flying their flags less and less and simply shifting over to infiltrate BLM even more completely.
With Antifa designated Terrorists, of course they would move the next likely target. Kill it, then gut it, skin it, and wear the skin proclaiming to be the real thing.

Trump doesn't have the power to designate Antifa (or any domestic group) as terrorists. Its a non-event that exists only in the minds of Trump and his brainwashed followers.
