"Greta Thunberg" begs Kamala Harris to "not arrest us" - [PEACE] [SUCCESSFUL PRANK PHONE CALL]
by Zenaan Harkness 07 Nov '20

07 Nov '20

And the Top-KeK Top-Troll award of the year goes to ... Vovan & Lexus ... <YEAH, and the crowds go wild!!!> Fake "Greta" literally begs Kamala Harris to not arrest her and her father: The phone call then ends with the pranksters enthusing about the prospect of meeting Harris soon and begging her to “not arrest us” – a joke whose double meaning would’ve completely escaped her. “No, no, no!” Harris assures them. “I don’t want to go to jail!” ‘Greta’ responds. “I look forward to seeing you. Be well, and I’ll see you soon,” the senator promises. Kamala Harris, ‘pranked’ by Russian comedians posing as Greta Thunberg, ‘accepts’ hoax kompromat on Trump https://www.rt.com/news/498748-kamala-harris-greta-thunberg-prank-call/ It seems pranksters Vovan and Lexus have successfully duped another politician, with audio suggesting Democrat VP nominee Kamala Harris was eager to accept a fake recording of Donald Trump, believing the caller was Greta Thunberg. Vovan and Lexus, whose real names are Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov, posed as the teenage climate activist and her father Svante to make a phone call in January to Harris, just months before she became Joe Biden’s running mate. “Congratulations on all your leadership. I’m so inspired by your courage and your voice,” Sen. Harris (D-California) tells the pranksters, in the audio clip obtained by The Sun. The duo then claim they have “dirt” on Trump that could prove helpful to Harris, in the form of a recording of the president telling Thunberg “you will never achieve your goal.” “I’m so terrified of what Trump is doing, I even cannot eat or sleep when I see him on TV. That terrible meeting in the UN building in September – I have nightmares. I saw him in the corridor and shouted to him to sign the Paris climate agreement. He came over and he said softly to me, ‘You will never achieve the goal,’” the fake ‘Greta’ says. After Greta offers her support to Harris’s campaign, ‘Svante’ tells the senator that the conversation between Trump and his daughter was recorded and asks if the recording would be helpful to her. Harris appears to accept the offer. “That would be wonderful,” she says. She also accepts an offer from ‘Greta’ to testify against Trump. The phone call then ends with the pranksters enthusing about the prospect of meeting Harris soon and begging her to “not arrest us” – a joke whose double meaning would’ve completely escaped her. “No, no, no!” Harris assures them. “I don’t want to go to jail!” ‘Greta’ responds. “I look forward to seeing you. Be well, and I’ll see you soon,” the senator promises. ...

1 big thing: The CIA's new license to cyberattack
by coderman 29 Oct '20

1 big thing: The CIA's new license to cyberattack In 2018, President Trump granted the CIA expansive legal authorities to carry out [covert actions in cyberspace](https://link.axios.com/click/20914074.53225/aHR0cHM6Ly9uZXdzLnl…, providing the agency with powers it has sought since the George W. Bush administration, former U.S. officials directly familiar with the matter told Yahoo News. Why it matters: The CIA has conducted disruptive covert cyber operations against Iran and Russia since the signing of this presidential finding, said former officials. Driving the news: According to the Yahoo News story, of which I am the lead author, the 2018 covert action finding gives the CIA much more power to undertake such operations without needing prior approval from the National Security Council. - Under the Obama administration, U.S. officials would discuss proposals for specific potential covert actions for months, or even years, before signing off on them, former officials said. - Now they can go “from idea to approval in weeks,” a former U.S. official told Yahoo News. And many proposals can now circumvent the NSC entirely, said former U.S. officials. “Trump wanted to push decision-making to the lowest possible denominator,” said another former U.S. official — which means many of these decisions are now being made in-house within the CIA, said former officials. Of note: These new powers are not related to the CIA’s ability to hack for the purpose of mere intelligence-gathering, said former officials. - Instead, they are about creating real-world effects like degrading or destroying adversaries’ infrastructure or exposing rival intelligence services’ secrets, said these officials. - The CIA’s new authorities have allowed it to more freely engage in “hack-and-dump” operations of the sort popularized by Russian intelligence via WikiLeaks, where pilfered data is leaked to journalists or released online via personas like Guccifer 2.0, the online front used by Russian operatives to publicize the 2016 hack of the DNC, said former U.S. officials. - The CIA has already dumped Russia- and Iran-related tranches of data online, said former officials. Other impacts of the 2018 finding: 1. Financial institutions. It loosens prior restrictions on disruptive or destructive targeting of financial institutions, former U.S. officials said. - In prior administrations, wiping or dumping hacked banking data was considered an uncrossable line because of the potential effects of retaliation by foreign states on the U.S. banking system, said former officials. - Treasury Department officials were always particularly vociferously opposed to such measures in the past, said former officials. - “These were “things CIA always knew were an option, but were always a bridge too far," a former official told Yahoo News. “They had been bandied about at senior levels for a long time, but cooler heads had always prevailed." 2. "Cut-outs." The presidential authorization makes it much easier for the CIA to target “cut-outs” believed to be working surreptitiously for hostile foreign intelligence services at media organizations, charities, religious institutions or other nonstate entities for disruptive or destructive cyber actions, said former officials. In the past, the burden of proof for targeting such entities was high; now, standards have been made far more lax, said former officials. 3. The "big four." The finding explicitly enables the CIA to use these new powers against the “big four” U.S. adversaries — China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. But even though the CIA already had more legal maneuverability on covert operations against Iran than other U.S. foes, the Trump administration was particularly focused on escalating its activities against Tehran, said former officials. - These new CIA authorities, as well as a capacious interpretation of prior ones, have contributed to the administration’s “maximum pressure” campaign against Iran, say former officials, with the CIA conducting disruptive cyberattacks against Iranian infrastructure throughout Trump's term. - This maximum pressure campaign has been tantamount to a “regime destabilization” strategy for some senior Trump-era national security officials, aiming to weaken the Iranian government in order to force it to retreat to its own borders — and even hopefully collapse entirely, say former officials. The big picture: Some officials emphasize that Trump-era shifts in U.S. offensive cyber operations are part of a natural evolution in U.S. policies in this arena and that many changes would have been granted under a new Democratic administration as well. - “It’s not like some cabal of folks who had been sort of outside the national security establishment ... were then brought in and hijacked” this process, a former senior official told me.

Saw female reporter's nipple prominence and asked "is it cold in argentina?" https://sputniknews.com/viral/202001311078192175-is-it-cold-in-argentina-jo… Apparently, this is called sexism, not reporting - although I guess I was asking a question, but implicit in the question was a fact - if you looked, deep, enough. Got told I should get some sex-ism training. Absolutely frustrating. @SvenSpoormakers your comment is inappropriate. We are more than the clothes we wear. If you can't understand why your comment is inappropriate I suggest getting some training around sexism. — Michele Reid (@Bliss_On_Earth) January 30, 2020 https://twitter.com/Bliss_On_Earth/status/1222736807894241280?ref_src=twsrc… Sounded possibly kinky so I went along until I discovered that not only was it about some neo-linguistic cultural marxism, but absolutely no one had their nipples showing! Absolutely frustrating! Just looking at my bike on the balcony, thinking how much I love cycling and bam, yet again something happens to remind me that it is a great sport despite the people in it. Spoormakers needs to grow up. @SvenSpoormakers — Peter Warne (@pzwarne) January 30, 2020 https://twitter.com/pzwarne/status/1222874772452904960?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw "Bam!" alright - there's a reason I love cycling, https://www.yandex.com/search/?text=cycling+love+seat Joyride: New Device Poised to Turn Bicycles Into Sex Machine https://sputniknews.com/society/202001301078181463-joyride-new-device-poise… ... but it's more along the lines of "I wonder, does a sex change actually "work"?" Our real concern of course is the NSA monitoring - completely illegally - our teledildonics metadata! Absolutely frustrating! Teledildonics Users 'Sexually Assaulted' by Hackers bitchute.com›video/j2jB9IsnP2A/ "Mr. Roger's NSA & Death of The Sex Symbol" 12/6/19. Well, at least now that females are equal to males, including biologically, women are free to talk pub talk as much as the blokes are too ... right? I guess that's how the twitterati finally figured out the real problem with this female reporter - she was wearing, like, waaay too much, like (did I mention 'like'?): ... Also, This girl btw was not going around naked ffs — Flavia Cappellini (@FlaviaCapps) January 30, 2020 https://twitter.com/FlaviaCapps/status/1222836406625718276?ref_src=twsrc%5E… Glad we cleared -that- argentinian ex-pro-cyclist nipple problem up. The sad part is that women take it all so seriously, like you're out in public without a chaperone already, surely that's enough to have a laugh? Or is it "have a laugh, but not when men crack a joke, because they're more equal than we are it's just not fair" ?? So, someone is upset that a woman is not wearing a bra, while reporting on an event which has 150 men, all of whom are not wearing underpants? — Girona Cycling (@GironaCycling) January 30, 2020 https://twitter.com/GironaCycling/status/1223018508306567171?ref_src=twsrc%… Listen hunni bunni sweeti pickle pie, it was humorous, and you're assuming upset? Experiencing a distinct lack of pickles in ya diet per'aps? Nipple up, buttercup :) Nice to see the sex is finally equal ... except for females who want privileges to not be commented on, whilst claiming all male pribileges. Absolutely frustrating - I'm just so, frustrated "just like a female" ... I guess :D Remember folks, penis = man, which is an extraordinarily powerful message - you see, penis power arises from being a man, and inherent with being a man, is having a penis - just ignore the statistically insignificant hermaphrodites for a moment: No Justice: Penis Man Taken Down by AR-15-Wielding SWAT Team http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/no-justice-penis-man-taken-down-by-ar-15-wiel… (We can guess that expanding his message to be just -slightly- more factual (literally, factually inclusive) from "penis man" to "penis, man or hermaphrodite" wouldn't have had the same ring. +1 for confronting anti-CIS anti-factual bigots I guess... At least swat teams also arrest women who get public with vagina propaganda ... don't they? ) Next up, N.gger Joe beer :D Germany Produces Nazi Beer, Jews Do Not Find Humor in This http://dstormer6em3i4km.onion/germany-produces-nazi-beer-jews-do-not-find-h… ... I personally walked into the Jewish Question because the Jews were so whiny. You can always rely on Jews to flip out and start whining. And this is beneficial to my personal life mission, which is to cause people to become upset on the internet. They are even more reliable than women. At least one in a million times, a woman will manage to walk away from the screen instead of gobbling up bait like a hypersonic bait-gobbling machine. ...
