Now ask me if I give a fuck.
Yeah, yeah, real world, blah blah, blah.
It's well past time we reject this old bullshit game of Cold War enemies and stop making that view of the world into our own reality.
Call it rainbows, unicorns, I don't give a shit.
Blow up all that paranoid crap that has been handed down to us since the 50's and let's start again. I'm sick of it.

(10,007 posts)I bet every single one of them is all-in with a story sourced from unnamed officials in British Intelligence.
It's all a smoke screen to cover this:
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/u-s-officials-massive-hack-affect-every-federal-agency/
Federal employees were told in a video Friday to change all their passwords, put fraud alerts on their credit reports and watch for attempts by foreign intelligence services to exploit them. That message came from Dan Payne, a senior counterintelligence official for the Director of National Intelligence.
"Some of you may think that you are not of interest because you don't have access to classified information," he said. "You are mistaken."
Federal officials said Friday the cyberattack appeared to have originated in China, but they didn't point fingers directly at the Chinese government. The Chinese said any such accusation would be "irresponsible and unscientific."

(57,936 posts)computer system that contains our national jewels as well as those of the British to Snowden who probably did not and certainly should never have had access to information about spies out in the field today.
The Guardian article does not make logical sense to me.
What does make sense is that the Russians and the Chinese are very good at hacking and that our offiicial computer systems are so poorly protected that Hillary Clinton preferred to have her staff use her own e-mail and private system for government communications.
There is a story here, but it is not what our government wants us to think.

(9,610 posts)WTF happened? Oh, the fascists in the USA decided to take over from within and needed an enemy. Bonus that the enemy was a "Communist" state because they can then ostracize any politically left people here in the USA as "communist sympathizers" and remove their voices from the political system.

Always some stupid us vs. them, and always some stupid fucks that fall for every one of them.
