Back from my road trip to the East Coast!

I learned that the parts of the east coast that are culturally southern states take great offense at being called the east coast, despite actually being located on the east coast.

"bots accounted for 37.9 percent of all online traffic during 2018"
https://thenextweb.com/security/2019/04/17/bots-drove-nearly-40-of-internet-traffic-last-year-and-the-naughty-ones-are-getting-smarter/
[62% of traffic is humans clicking, reading content.]
Is the forum any different?

Sometimes we wonder if we are writing to each other or if others are reading.  The number of reads tracked is very large, millions in total.  If it is 40% 'bots', the number is still huge.  The stats we see show totals by thread.  Crafty, do you know what the totals and subtotals are for the different boards?

The number of reads per reply is vastly different in different thread subjects.  Is there any way to rank the threads to know what draws the most interest?

If it was just bots randomly combing content, wouldn't those ratios be more even?

Great questions, the answers to which are well outside the ken of this tech troglodyte.

I would note that the longer a thread, there is a mathematical dynamic that drives up the reads per post dynamic.

And yes, regardless, our numbers are pretty fg awesome!

Definitely on the right track, but the article is an Obama smokescreen.

There was some mid level woman who in the December before Trump took office spilled the beans as to what this was all really about but I am drawing a blank.  Not too long ago she was on the Bill Maher show.

Looking for a reference here to our being unhappy that Sec Def Mattis had promised the Turks we would be disarming the Kurds when the fighting with ISIS was over.  Hope someone (hint hint GM) can find it for me!

Sorry to cut in... [Stratfor]
unnamed Turkish officials have been telling any reporter who will listen about how Mattis pledged to help Turkey fight the Kurdish PKK militant group and how American support for Syrian Kurds is limited to the duration of the fight against the Islamic State. That Mattis came out publicly against the KRG’s independence referendum probably didn’t hurt either. For the moment, Turkey seems more publicly comfortable than it has been with the U.S. in months, so whatever Mattis promised in Ankara had the desired effect.

This site seems to be dubious https://newspunch.com/declassified-documents-obama-ordered-cia-to-train-isis/?fbclid=IwAR3oP7FHNZDHx8glwYScR5f6NYR31HdZnZbCMPs5XbAIuT5_umRi9CeM79s

but the premise echoes of our postings here.  This would seem to be a REAL good moment to drag up from the memory hole things of this nature, e.g.

Picture of Sen. McCain with men who turned out to be jihadi scumbags
our money and arms winding up in Al Nusra's hands
anything else of this nature.

REALLY hoping for some help on this.  The gist of it would seem to be that Obama-Hillary-McCain & Gramham, and the geniuses at Foggy Bottom started the whole shit show in Syria by backing nasty jihadis against Assad.

Good start!

But I'm remembering something about a large sum of US money and guns that wound up in all sorts of bad hands and produced a ridiculously small number of moderate fighters (50?) that came to a cost of something like $50K each.

I'm vaguely remembering our having a lot to do with helping the Syrian Civil War get going, generating the fustercluck we now have, , ,

Looking for our posts on the subject of civil and/or criminal forfeiture-- posts which I know we have made.  I have used the Search function for both Subject line and Message without success.  Weird.

At the moment I am looking to post this:
