[Daily Caller] "Manhunt: Deadly Games" is an awesome TV series.
The series from Spectrum recently hit Netflix, and I wasted literally no time firing it up. The show revolves around the 1996 bombing at the Olympics in Atlanta, the aftermath with Richard Jewell and the hunt for Eric Rudolph.
If you watched the movie about Richard Jewell from Clint Eastwood, then I can promise that you’re going to love "Manhunt: Deadly Games."

Jewell was an easy target for the media to make fun of. He was a downtrodden man, he wasn’t overly impressive as an individual on your first look, he lived with his mother and he didn’t have a ton of money.
A sad but true commentary on the American justice system, the media, and the FBI.

I watched this. The Feebs REALLY come off looking bad, BATFE comes off looking OK, and there's a surprise twist I didn't know about.
No idea how accurate it is, but it's worth watching.

Btw a great movie directed by Clint Eastwood. The actress who plays the bitch journalist is convincingly awful -- chilling even. The Don Draper actor does a good job as her FBI sap.
The no-name who played Jewell is extraordinary, as is Kathy Bayes as his mom.
[MAIL] A massive suspected Russian cyber campaign is being called the biggest breach in American history and a 'grave threat' to the government and private companies, with the Senate's No. 2 Democrat demanding a 'response in kind.'
The sprawling attack, which targeted critical government infrastructure using a Trojan horse hidden in network management software from SolarWinds Corp, also compromised broad swathes of the private sector, including Microsoft and likely most of the Fortune 500, it emerged on Thursday.
Officials say the attack went undetected for nearly nine months, allowing the hackers free range in the affected networks, including at the Pentagon, FBI, Treasury, State Department and nuclear security agencies, and that the true scale of the stolen information may never be known.

'Just in Time' crisis takes place on Donald Trump's watch. All the air suddenly removed from media Hunter Biden story, election fraud, Rep. Swalwell-Fang BJ's. No mention of Chinese. Reinforces lagging Russian narrative.

Maybe that Cyber Security Chief Krebs that was fired for missing the election hack was telling the truth (due to incompetence)... he missed the biggest hack for nine months on what should be the most monitored system in the world. Krebs should no longer be considered an 'expert'.

But, but Christopher C. Krebs, CISA director (fired CISA director) said the 2020 election was the safest in history and there was no foreign intervention. Now, he is suing Joe di Genova for saying: “He should be drawn and quartered. taken out at dawn and shot.” He must not understand hyperbole and/or can't take a joke.

This is likely the smoke screen story so the Deep State can clean up the fraudulent election software.
Unfortunately no. This is the worst breach I have ever seen in my 20 years of cyber security. Pretty much consider everything breached at this point, including Microsoft, the government and the voting software.
This was also a very well thought out and executed attack. Was it the Russians? Verdict is still out. But a lot of signs do point that way with the way this was run. Or at least one of their hacker groups that works with the Russian government at times.
#11
Gee maybe it's time we stopped crying Russia! Russia! Russia! and started figuring out how to get on the same side as the Russians to start reining in and fvcking up the Chinese.
No, that's too clever and sophisticated for our intelligence agencies' Inspector Clouseaux. Carry on then. RUSSIANS!!!
[Politico] A federal prisoner scheduled to be executed just days before President-elect Joe Biden takes office has tested positive for coronavirus, his lawyer said Thursday.
The Bureau of Prisons notified attorneys for Dustin John Higgs on Thursday that their client had tested positive for the virus, his attorney Devon Porter said during a court hearing Thursday afternoon.
[RT] A French former modelling agent and ex-associate of American pedophile Jeffrey Want Some Candy, Little Girl? Epstein ...A high class pimp financier who was alleged to maintain a stable of underage whoressex slaves who were paid big bucks to entertain the rich and/or famous. He is a registered sex offender and made att least 17 out-of-court settlements with former members of his stable, with some cases still ongoing. 2011 court docs reveal that 21 email addresses and phone numbers for Bill Clinton and an aide were found in Epstein's electronic black book, and that Clinton frequently flew with Epstein on his private plane between 2002 to 2005. But really, they were probably just discussing finance or politix or something. While getting massaged. Then things got serious, Jeff was tossed in the slammer in New York and then he killed himself. Really. That's what happened... has been arrested after being accused of rape and human trafficking, the Gay Paree prosecutor's office said on Thursday.
Gay Paree-born Jean-Luc Brunel, who is also accused of sexual assault and sexual harassment in US legal documents, was reportedly held at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Gay Paree on Wednesday as he attempted to fly to the Senegal ... a nation of about 14 million on the west coast of Africa bordering Mauretania to the north, Mali to the east, and a pair of Guineas to the south, one of them Bissau. It is 90 percent Mohammedan and has more than 80 political parties. Its primary purpose seems to be absorbing refugees... ese capital, Dakar.
Brunel's arrest comes after he was placed under investigation by French authorities, as part of an inquiry launched last year into the alleged sexual exploitation of women and girls by Epstein and his other associates.
Several of those to accuse Brunel of rape are top former models, and he is also alleged to have procured young women for Epstein, the disgraced financier who was found hanged in his New York police cell in August 2019.

[NYP] Eight elderly nuns at a Wisconsin convent died of COVID-19 complications in the last week — including four who passed away on the same day.
The women were all in their late 80s and 90s and had been residing at Notre Dame of Elm Grove, a retirement home for sisters in suburban Milwaukee, authorities said.
"Even though they’re older... we didn’t expect them to go so, so quickly," said Sister Debra Marie Sciano. "It was just very difficult for us."
The congregation that runs the home found out on Thanksgiving Day that one of the 88 sisters who lived there had caught the deadly illness, said Sciano, the provincial leader for School Sisters of Notre Dame Central Pacific Province.

Similar to other nursing homes. Also seen in other eldercare convents: 13 died in a care convent in Detroit and 7 in one in New York and 6 more at a different Wisconsin convent.

Have been reading the media around the world and people across the world are anxiously watching the US vaccine development and deployment (hope) against Covid.

HUMMMMM!
There are 2 sides to a vehicle hence 2 doors and at least 2+ windows. I feel many would have trapped at most 10 mins.
Now of course the driver could have be in the suicide lane and covered on BOTH side at the same time...by plows heading opposite directions and fighting each other to clear the road.

I think 'multiculturalism' was a product of think tanks paid by the Soddys to favour islam over indigenous cultures.
There are several such items, some paid for by other groups floating in the public lexicon now; like 'Abrahamic religions', 'islamophobia', 'Patriarchy', etcetera.
[AlAhram] The complaint focuses on Google's search business and search advertising, as well as what they said was an effort by Google to use exclusionary agreements to also dominate newer technologies
Alphabet Inc's Google on Thursday faced its third major lawsuit as a group of 38 US states and territories filed an antitrust complaint accusing Google of seeking to extend its search monopoly to dominate smart speakers, televisions and cars.
The states are asking for their lawsuit to be consolidated with one filed by the Justice Department in October, according to a statement from the Colorado attorney general's office.
The complaint focuses on Google's search business and search advertising, as well as what they said was an effort by Google to use exclusionary agreements to also dominate newer technologies.
This would exclude, for example, competing virtual assistant technology such as Amazon.com Inc's Alexa.
The accusation builds on concerns publicly expressed by speaker maker Sonos and other companies that say Google has acted unfairly to grow its market power.
"Google is preventing competitors in the voice assistant market from reaching consumers through connected cars, which stand to be a significant way the internet is accessed in the near future," said Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller.
Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Google shares were down 0.8% on Thursday afternoon.
The federal government's complaint was joined by 11 states and accused the $1 trillion giant of acting unlawfully to maintain its position in search and advertising on the internet. On Wednesday, a group of Republican attorneys general led by Texas filed a separate lawsuit focused on Google's dominance of digital advertising.
These lawsuits, in addition to two filed against social media giant Facebook Inc this month, promise to be the biggest antitrust cases in a generation, as big as the lawsuit against Microsoft filed in 1998. That lawsuit was credited with clearing the way for the explosive growth of the internet.
The lawsuits mark a rare moment of agreement between Democrats and the Trump administration, whose criticisms seem to focus less on antitrust concerns and more on allegations that the platforms stifle conservative voices.
Both moderate and progressive Democrats have praised the government's lawsuit.
Years ago, my ITSEC Team was having Bull Session on possible New ITSEC offerings. As usual in these bull sessions we were always playing ITSEC 1-ups-man games with each other. This is when we hit on idea of IT Privacy Assessments.
We each took take a random office staffer
(Non ITSEC Practice) employee and tracked their "public" life for 1 week.
2 employees resigned to avoid termination a week later... several took their teenagers Internet access away at home or warned then they had installed "Spector PRO" on their systems.
GOOGLE MORAL OF THE STORY
BEFORE exploring and applying the loose nut behind the keyboard concept. Everyone should think long and hard about what the Internet will remember forever.
Because the second you purchase a device with a MAC address and/or IMEI code and start using it, your life is traceable.
BTW:
Google is not the only one.
Many ISP's track your DNS inquiries and/or
Websites rake in $$$ collecting data for Google and others.
[Jpost] Microsoft said it detected a malicious version of software from SolarWinds inside the company but that its investigation so far showed no evidence hackers had used Microsoft systems to attack customers.

SolarWinds MSP said it isn’t aware of any impact to its remote monitoring and management (RMM), N-Central and associated products from the attack on Orion, President John Pagliuca said in a security advisory posted Sunday evening. Pagliuca would take over as SolarWinds MSP CEO if proposed spin-off into a standalone company under consideration for months happens.
But who actually owns SolarWinds?
"Stellar Wind" (or "Stellarwind") was the code name of a warrantless surveillance program begun under the George W. Bush administration's President's Surveillance Program (PSP).[1] The National Security Agency (NSA) program was approved by President Bush shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks and was revealed by Thomas Tamm to The New York Times in 2004.[2][3] Stellar Wind was a prelude to new legal structures that allowed President Bush and President Barack Obama to reproduce each of those programs and expand their reach.[4]
[Jpost] People around the world have been reporting connection issues with the instant messaging app Telegram, N12 reported.
Specifically, there have been issues with sending and receiving messages on the popular platform. It is not yet known what the cause of the service failure is. "issues with sending and receiving messages", but other than that, it worked fine?

[THEBAGHDADPOST] "Some 60,000 of the 145,000 nurses attending to the sick have been infected with the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... . 6,000 are in the quarantine. Around 100 have bit the dust," said Mirzabeigi on the shortage of nurses in Iran.
Mirzabeigi, the General Director of the National Nursing Organization, said: "The most important problem of the nurses’ community is severe shortage of forces.
Because there are only 145,000 nurses for 170,000 hospital beds; a correlation of 0.8. While the standard is 2.5 nurses per bed. Therefore, the number of working nurses must increase 2.5 times for us to reach the standard conditions.
If the number of beds continue to increase and nurses are retired without replacements, the shortage of nurses in Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... will increase and this would hurt the patients more than anyone else."
