pssst!
I see two glowing eyes under the bed
I have enough on my hands wrestling that one-eyed snake that gets under my blankies at night. Thanks all the same.

Does anyone who hears of any of these hacks into places that steal credit card numbers and such buy that they are real hackers? If they were real they would put all the ones in debt back to zero, as it is the only ones in danger of getting nailed with false bills are the customers who are already being ripped off.

Looks like the photoshop guys get to dust off the skills they had to park for the last 16 years or so.
I wonder if the MainStreamMedia will clue in that they can also publish things that are true and the only thing that will happen is some co-workers will whisper as they pass you by and others will give you a thumbs up. With who owns a news outlet being important to what you find inside they titles should just be the most powerful shareholder, today the name would be 'Soros version of the News.'

You're really upset about Trump being the prez, aren't you?

... Not to worry, 8 eyars will fly by really fast
Obama introduced the concept of running for a 3rd time. Too bad that when he released that thought it was well after he could make use of that though so he was just showing how slow he is and his thought process is spent with thoughts that can never be real.
It certainly could be a real application by Trump though and there could be a referendum to solve that issue as the EU Banking Industry will no longer have a hold over the American Financial Institution.
If you work you pay taxes and if you pay taxes you have an IRS number and that is also your voting card. (as well as a lot of other on the spot benefits)

Yeah, but when Ford finally melted down, city council marginalized him into a figure head. How and who is going to do that to Trump after he goes bananas?

Oh so you mean they want to go even further into debt then.
The ruling elite will always make money on their wars. They don't care if the population starves. That will just create more poor willing to go and kill and die in foreign countries and make even more money for them.

This time they are coming to kill you.

The fact that the CIA lied about the hackers because they were (allegedly) wrong about WMDs and therefore there are no hackers.


Clearly.

The Washington Post has retracted its story about Russian hackers penetrating the nation’s electricity grid with a virus found in a Burlington, Vt., electric company laptop.

“Authorities say there is no indication of that so far [that Russians had penetrated the US electric grid],” according to an editor’s note attached to a corrected version of the story on the paper’s Web site.

News of the supposed hack had set off a firestorm of recriminations, with Vermont leaders calling Russian President Vladimir Putin “a thug” earlier Saturday, after one of the state’s electric utilities found a virus on a laptop computer.

A utility spokesman has also told the Burlington Free Press the laptop was not hooked into the grid.
