Still waiting for the Posadists to do some historical materialism re: what exactly Dr. Eldon Byrd was up to with those dolphins.

Like the original “fake news” guy who posted those “parody” stories on facebook, there’s no evidence that what he put up did anything at all that was any different than a normal day on facebook with a bunch of weird stories exploiting algorithms to get clicks, but that guy is probably going to be rolling in money for life because after he was accused of being a key player in a big time election he played reporters like fiddles. Social media are basically arcane wizard magic to most capitalists, including young ones.
Alexander Nix, Cambridge Analytica’s well-groomed CEO is not a cunning mastermind but a garden-variety digital hack.

NO, it was pretty much invented from scratch by a former Republican congressional staffer who went onto an AM radio career. I'm not going to spend time searching for her name. Bill Clinton has familial ties to organized crime and even if the list was 100% true I don't know why this would be anywhere nearly as concerning as the US under his tenure carving out a giant NATO base in Eastern Europe and painting REAL ACTUAL COUNTRY on the sides.

Over a two-year period starting in late 2010, Chinese authorities systematically dismantled CIA’s network of agents across the country, executing dozens of suspected U.S. spies.
Now, nearly eight years later, it appears that the agency botched the communication system it used to interact with its sources, according to five current and former intelligence officials. The CIA had imported the system from its Middle East operations, where the online environment was considerably less hazardous, and apparently underestimated China’s ability to penetrate it.
The former officials also said the real number of CIA assets and those in their orbit executed by China during the two-year period was around 30, though some sources spoke of higher figures.
When CIA officers begin working with a new source, they often use an interim covert communications system—in case the person turns out to be a double agent. The communications system used in China during this period was internet-based and accessible from laptop or desktop computers, two of the former officials said. This interim, or “throwaway,” system, an encrypted digital program, allows for remote communication between an intelligence officer and a source, but it is also separated from the main communications system used with vetted sources, reducing the risk if an asset goes bad.
Although they used some of the same coding, the interim system and the main covert communication platform used in China at this time were supposed to be clearly separated. In theory, if the interim system were discovered or turned over to Chinese intelligence, people using the main system would still be protected—and there would be no way to trace the communication back to the CIA. But the CIA’s interim system contained a technical error: It connected back architecturally to the CIA’s main covert communications platform. When the compromise was suspected, the FBI and NSA both ran “penetration tests” to determine the security of the interim system. They found that cyber experts with access to the interim system could also access the broader covert communications system the agency was using to interact with its vetted sources, according to the former officials.
In the words of one of the former officials, the CIA had “fucked up the firewall” between the two systems.
One of the former officials said the agency had “strong indications” that China shared its findings with Russia, where some CIA assets were using a similar covert communications system. Around the time the CIA’s source network in China was being eviscerated, multiple sources in Russia suddenly severed their relationship with their CIA handlers, according to an NBC News report that aired in January — and confirmed by this former official.

tl; dr: dawn sturgess is now charlie rowley's partner again after initially being his partner then a homeless friend of his now she's his partner again, and a few weeks back he went into icu for novichok blindness treatment for a day but the hospital said publicly they weren't treating anyone for novichok poisoning and charlie's brother said charlie sounded scared and evasive during a phonecall from the icu, plus the cops say the novichok was not on the door handle in the end, it was in the perfume bottle they found in a kitchen cupboard that charley and his partner took home after finding in a park (like you do) and they destroyed 5 police cars because 1 of them had some novichok in it but there were traces of it all over the russians' hotel room for months and somehow nobody died meanwhile spy agencies now apparently advise their hitmen to travel under their own names and make no attempt to disguise themselves or avoid public areas or cctv and they are so easy to catch some bobbies on the beat caught them everybody up to speed okay man okay
