United by their mutual love of guns, military gear and God, the group of roughly two dozen — mostly men and boys — formed an invitation-only clubhouse in 2020 on Discord, an online platform popular with gamers. But they paid little attention last year when the man some call “OG” posted a message laden with strange acronyms and jargon. The words were unfamiliar, and few people read the long note, one of the members explained. But he revered OG, the elder leader of their tiny tribe, who claimed to know secrets that the government withheld from ordinary people.

The leaker was probably Hunter Biden. He left another laptop, this time in a Starbucks in Chinatown...

This statement, “United by their mutual love of guns, military gear and God” should scare the hell out of American Citizens. Right there, in plain English, the US government sees the 2nd amendment and religion as Enemies of the State.

Christians are under attack by the US government and they aren’t even trying to hide that fact.

God bless him. He’s as much a hero as Julian Assange when he released all the dirt on the Clintons.

I’ve said it before: DC is telling us who they regard as their enemy.

Sounds more like, the man behind a massive leak, is “OG, the elder leader of their tiny tribe.”

But “OG” likely learned the information from somebody else - the next dot, closer to the source.
