Re-posted from Nov 1, 2016 with Erik again in the news.
The most interesting link with that server is the middle connection to Spectrum Health, close ties to DeVos family (Amway). Which has been posted here to also be the family of Erik Prince, ex-Blackwater founder.
Spectrum and Alpha, Trump tower exhibited similar “unique only" traffic patterns (subject of analysis by another DKOS diary set)
Updated info: “From May 4 until September 23, the Russian bank looked up the address to this Trump corporate server 2,820 times -- more lookups than the Trump server received from any other source.
As noted, Alfa Bank alone represents 80% of the lookups, according to these leaked internet records.
Far back in second place, with 714 such lookups, was a company called Spectrum Health.
Spectrum is a medical facility chain led by Dick DeVos, the husband of Betsy DeVos, who was appointed by Trump as U.S. education secretary.
Together, Alfa and Spectrum accounted for 99% of the lookups.
This server behavior alarmed one computer expert who had privileged access to this technical information last year. That person, who remains anonymous and goes by the moniker "Tea Leaves," obtained this information from internet traffic meant to remain private.”

My original diary post links also campaign messaging of tRump on the trail with Erik’s writings on Brietbart ahead of tRump stating this on the trail. This continues the theme noted by Clint Watts' testimony of messaging coming from RT, passed through Brietbart and surrogates — Like Erik, etc.
So, from my Nov 1 diary —
Erik, under many indictments — posts on Brietbart in support of Trump, Sep 2016: stating,
“Clinton’s ‘Foreign Policy Record Is a Disaster,’ Trump Is ‘Willing to Take a Different Direction’
Where have we heard that before? oh yes tRump. Erik Prince is now in the background providing support for tRump.

To know Erik Prince’s background at Blackwater is to know - Erik’s take on the phrase “different direction” means Jihad with Islam as a clash of civilizations. This belief runs aside the same with FIRED ret Gen Michael Flynn, ret LT Gen William Boykin (fired by GWB) who are all advisors to tRump for going back to the ME in big way for the war of civilizations. But, you won’t hear that publicly stated.
The worm turns and it just keeps getting more perverse. (update, Flynn under scrutiny, Erik just coming into view)
In 2004, Jeremy Schill writes about Blackwater and Erik as the Christain white knight.
Scahill: The Bush administration came to power with the most radical privatization agenda in U.S. history (update, except now in really full motion), and we see it in our schools, we see it in prisons, we see it in healthcare, we see it in local law enforcement in the United States, federal law enforcement as well. And now with the so-called war on terror and the occupation of Iraq, we’ve seen the most militant privatization agenda sort of unfold before our eyes. Donald Rumsfeld, on September 10th, 2001, gave one of his first major addresses at the Pentagon, and he laid out a plan for a wholesale sort of overhaul of how the U.S. would wage its wars. And he talked about a small-footprint approach and the use of the private sector, and at one point Rumsfeld said because governments can’t die,

No wonder the Russian connection issue keeps dying out. Is this too much for America as a country to remain whole? Can the Devos family wield this much power over our public institutions? (add Mercers and Putin)
Can’t link to the Devon family tree now as it’s been non-whitelisted. Spooky folks. But this link has the back-up.
