IP Addresses? What IP Addresses?

"This is not a test. Stay indoors and follow all official government advice." ~Emergency Broadcast System

The days leading up to January 20, 2021, were chaotic. We were still reeling from the January 6 event, confused whether it was a peaceful protest or a violent insurrection. Our anger was simmering over the certification of an election that we all knew had been stolen. Concerns about Covid and vaccinations were lingering and causing growing frustration among us. Fencing had been placed around the White House in preparation of Joe Biden’s inauguration. We wondered if the military would sweep in and stop this charade. Was the Deep State going to follow through with their fake inauguration? There was so much uncertainty, most of us didn’t know what to think.

President Trump was somber and appeared rightfully angry at the election theft. Like us, he seemed disgusted that they had gone through with it. Many people thought Vice President Pence was a traitor because, like everything else, we didn’t understand the full picture at the time.

The National Guard was everywhere in Washington DC, even sleeping in parking garages. Joe Biden had to charter a flight to Washington DC for his inauguration. President Trump announced that he wouldn’t be attending which has only happened a few times before. It was reported that President Trump left with the nuclear codes. Like the previous four years, it was a strange time.

Many of us were hyper-aware of the events surrounding our country since before Donald Trump was sworn in. His inauguration in 2017 signaled a change, and we knew life was going to be different. When Q came along, we became even more aware and paid attention to every out-of-the-ordinary event like we were going to figure out what was happening. We wanted some type of validation that we weren’t crazy.

There was so much distraction that many of us missed the story about an out of the ordinary event that happened shortly before President Trump left office. We didn’t know what it meant but we sensed that it was important. As usual, the mainstream media didn’t report on it, and social media seemed disinterested after a while. It was talked about for a short time, and then everyone moved on and seemed to have forgotten about it.

A middle of the night awakening recently brought this back to the forefront of my mind. It’s a story that has stayed with me for years (like so many others). Minutes before President Trump left office on January 20th, 56 million IP addresses previously owned by the U.S. military were transferred to a recently created Florida company. By April of 2021, that number had risen to nearly 175 million IP addresses.

The company was Global Resource Systems, LLC and it was now managing a huge unused portion of the internet that had been owned by the U.S. military for decades. The largest swaths of the internet were usually owned by telecommunications giants like AT&T and Verizon. However, after this event, this newly created Florida company owned more internet space than all of them.  

According to 2021 reports, Global Resource Systems was formed in September 2020, with a Plantation, Florida address. It had no federal contracts and no website. The office address listed was a shared workspace, and the receptionist at the office could offer no information about the company. The movement of the IP addresses only became public when the messaging system that tells internet companies how to route traffic across the world (Border Gateway Protocol-BGP) started receiving messages telling network administrators that previously dormant IP addresses assigned to the U.S. military could now accept traffic. Except instead of routing traffic through the Pentagon, it was to be routed to Global Resource Systems of Florida.

News of the transfer became a hot topic among IT professionals who were trying to figure out why the IP addresses had been transferred. Did the Defense Department sell part of the military’s IP addresses as Trump left office? Was the Pentagon suddenly unloading billions of dollars’ worth of IP addresses that the military had been sitting on for decades?

Reports were that an elite Pentagon unit known as the Defense Digital Service had made the change. This unit reported directly to the secretary of defense. And who was the Secretary of Defense minutes before Trump left office on January 20, 2021? Christopher C. Miller. Miller’s name is well known in the Truth community. President Trump appointed him as Secretary of Defense on November 9, 2020, two days after Biden was declared the winner of the election. He is a specialist in military and special operations forces, most notably unconventional and irregular warfare. This is exactly the type of warfare we have been engaged in. Upon his retirement from the Army in 2014, Miller worked as a defense contractor providing clandestine Special Operations and Intelligence expertise to the Under Secretaries of Defense. Now he was overseeing the unit that released millions of formerly dormant IP addresses owned by the military to an obscure company in Florida. This all happened moments before President Trump left office, and as Christopher Miller had one foot out the door.

When asked about the transfer of the IP addresses, Brett Goldstein, the DDS director, said that the unit had authorized a pilot effort publicizing the IP space owned by the Pentagon. This pilot was meant to assess, evaluate and prevent unauthorized use of Department of Dense IP address space, as well as identifying potential vulnerabilities. But the Defense Department declined to answer a number of questions about the project, and officials declined to say why the unit had used Global Resource Systems for the pilot effort. A far more routine approach would have been for the Department of Defense to announce the addresses through Border Gateway Protocol messages themselves.

The transfer came as a shock to the internet community. This was the first time the dormant addresses had been reassigned, and it wasn’t a sale or permanent transfer. At that time, this massive move of IP addresses represented 1/25th the size of the internet. Global Resource Systems was managing more IP addresses than AT&T, Comcast, Microsoft, Verizon, and Amazon. Unfortunately, I didn’t check the site myself in 2021 to see Global Resource Systems at the top of the list. However, a recent check of that site now shows that the Department of Defense owns the lion’s share of IP addresses. Were the addresses returned from Global Resource Systems to the DoD?

I’m not going to pretend to completely understand IP addresses and their functions. To be fair, I want to provide the following theory that I read as one possible reason for the transfer. Even though I don’t really understand it...The Pentagon has had to deal with unauthorized squatting on its space, because there has been a shortage of internet addresses since 2011. Advertising the address space would make it easier to chase off squatters and allow the U.S. military to collect background internet traffic for threat intelligence. Some cybersecurity experts speculated that the newly advertised space would create “honeypots,” or machines set up with weaknesses to lure in hackers. Or it was speculated that it could be looking to set up dedicated infrastructure to scour internet traffic for suspicious activity. These may be valid excuses, but I don’t believe this is what happened.

According to The Hill, what made the whole thing odd was that the Department of Defense announced the release through the newly formed Global Resource Systems, a company managed by one person.

A search of the Delaware incorporation registry returned the company and registered agent’s information (and their file #3619529). I could have spent $10 to see if it was an LLC in good standing but I didn’t want the FBI knocking at my door, so I chose not to do so.

A couple of interesting things came from my research on this company. First, Global Resource Systems was the name of a firm that was previously known for sending email spam, using the same internet routing identifier as the newly created company. The previous Global Resource Systems was a corporation and was dissolved in 2013. The new company was an LLC, but both companies used the same address in Plantation, Florida. The previously dissolved corporation had its share of problems while it was in operation. The use of the name Global Resource Systems, with the same internet routing identifier, and the same address in Plantation, Florida was suspicious. Why was that company recreated to accept the IP addresses from the U.S. military?

According to an article in First Coast News, the only name associated with Global Resource Systems on the Florida business registry was a man by the name of Raymond Saulino. Raymond Saulino was also listed in 2018 as the managing member of a cybersecurity/internet surveillance company called Packet Forensics. Packet Forensics has a history of federal contracts with the FBI and the Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

In addition to Packet Forensics, Mr. Saulino was also listed as a principal in a company called Tidewater Laskin Associates. Tidewater Laskin used the same UPS store address as Packet Forensics, only with a different mailbox number. The journalist from First Coast News tried to contact Mr. Saulino in 2021, to no avail. However, when he called Mr. Saulino’s longtime colleague at Packet Forensics, Rodney Joffe, he was told that Mr. Saulino had retired.

If you’ve been around for a while the name Rodney Joffe probably just rang a bell for you. Rodney Joffe was known as quite a big name in the world of tech and cybersecurity. He was also identified as “Tech Executive-1,” a key player in Special Counsel Durham’s Russiagate investigation. Special Counsel Durham has suggested that Rodney Joffe was at the center of the conspiracy to spy on President Trump and share the information with Clinton associates.

There has been a great deal of research and discussion on Mr. Joffe, and I can’t offer an educated opinion about him. I don’t know what this connection means, but I find it extremely odd that Mr. Joffe was identified as a former longtime colleague of the one and only man listed as the owner of the company that received the transferred U.S. military IP addresses just minutes before President Trump left office. (For more research and detail on Rodney Joffe and the Russiagate Investigation, check out TechnoFog).

The website for Mr. Joffe’s attorney contains a statement, in part, that on September 9, 2022, they “secured a complete dismissal of civil RICO and other claims against Rodney Joffe who was one of more than a dozen defendants who had allegedly schemed to derail Trump's 2016 campaign by falsely claiming that he had ties to Russia.”

The connection between Raymond Saulino as the principal of the company to where the military’s IP addresses were transferred and his longtime colleague, Rodney Joffe, who was accused (but never indicted) of manufacturing evidence between Trump and Russia is too coincidental.

I am not an IT professional, or even a novice by any means, so I did some digging. I know about the same as most people about IP addresses and how they operate, so I hope you’ll give me some leeway here.

There is a lot of information about IP addresses, along with many definitions of how they are used. It’s the timing of the transfer of the addresses that is so suspicious. If they were going to be used for “squatters” or were going to be sold, why weren’t they sold or transferred at any other time before or after Trump left office? This transfer happening minutes before President Trump left office is odd.

The IP addresses were historically unrouted, didn’t appear on the public internet, and were assumed to be used within the secrecy of the Department of Defense. Their absence from the routing table, as years turned into decades, led to the further belief that they would never appear.

From what I understand without getting too into the weeds, it is possible to "subnet" an IP address which results in multiple networks. Your home WiFi contains a public facing IP address. Every device in your home, (your television, cell phone, laptop, etc.) has its own private address that branches off from your public facing WiFi’s IP address. In theory 175 million IP addresses combined with a private network could translate to an almost limitless number of devices all connected to the internet.

Likewise, a business may have one public facing IP Address, and each device in the company will have its own private IP address, all connected to the internet.

Each of the 175 million IP addresses that were transferred were public facing IP addresses. This means that there could be an infinite number of private addresses branching off from the 175 million DoD IP addresses.

When I first began formulating this paper, I was unclear what the IP addresses could be used for. Reading through the research, I found connections between IP addresses and computer hacking. Something dawned on me. Speaking with someone knowledgeable in information technology, I asked if it is possible to “take over” an IP address. The answer was yes. In other words, if someone with the authorization, the access, and enough IP addresses wanted to take over every television, computer, and cell phone in this country, they absolutely could.

From The Only Way is the Military:

The military is the only remaining agency with any credibility to the American people. I’m sure at some point most of us have seen some version of a post on social media that mentioned the military taking over our technology (phones, televisions, internet) and broadcasting 3 x 8-hour loops of video confessions and military tribunals of our corrupt government in order to awaken the American people. Since no one can claim to know anything and it sounded so outlandish, we dismissed it and moved on. But what if it isn’t so outlandish? What if it has some resemblance of the reality to come?

…

To sum it up, I believe it is more than likely that between now and November 5th, we will be subjected to an earth-shattering awakening that will educate all of us of the evil that has taken over our country and what has been done to correct it. This will come to us without the fog of war that we’ve been living under. There will be no room for misunderstanding or doubt. President Trump will be removed from all of this and will emerge afterward acting as shell-shocked and surprised as us. I don’t know how and I don’t know when, but I feel that this is necessary to return power to The People.

The Deep State most likely still had a grasp on some of our agencies in January 2021. Were these IP addresses transferred to safeguard them until a future date when they could be used for our military to take over communications and media and inform us of what has been taking place in our country – or the world? Could the 3 x 8-hour loop theory of disclosure be coming to fruition? Soon? Before November 5th?

A recent search no longer shows Global Resource Systems, LLC as the leading owner of IP Addresses. It is still the Department of Defense - with 310,212,864 total public facing IP addresses.

I can’t say without a doubt that this is why the IP addresses were transferred, but there was definitely something odd about the timing of their transfer and it raised a lot of questions. I am unable to find recent news of the transfer, but I can see that there are over 310 million IP addresses assigned to the Department of Defense. My instinct tells me that we’re about to see an interruption of our devices as we become an educated generation of thankful and patriotic Americans. I’m ready for it, excited about it, and pray it happens.
