somebody on twatter stated this fact : “You know what wasn’t in the best interest of people? The U.S. government organizing a coup against Evo Morales in Bolivia so you could obtain the lithium there.” and here's the reply from elono musko, biggest jewnazi oligarch on the planet : "We Will Coup Whoever We Want, Deal With It" [1] Now, think of our two leading subhuman pentagon turds : anonymous coward grancrap, and his uncle Jim Bell, and their constant musk cocksucking.

And in related news - Knowingly displaying Nazi flags or memorabilia bearing swastikas has been outlawed in New South Wales, with offenders facing up to a year's jail time or a possible fine of over $100,000. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-11/nsw-second-state-to-ban-swastika/101… The Crimes Amendment (Prohibition on display of Nazi symbols) Bill 2022 swiftly passed in the state's upper house on Thursday with unanimous support. It followed an inquiry earlier this year which recommended a ban on the public display of Nazi symbols in a bid to tackle rising anti-Semitism.

The Hacking of Starlink Terminals Has Begun | WIRED

https://www.wired.com/story/starlink-internet-dish-hack/ Since 2018, Elon Musk’s Starlink has launched more than 3,000 small satellites into orbit. This satellite network beams internet connections to hard-to-reach locations on Earth and has been a vital source of connectivity during Russia’s war in Ukraine. Thousands more satellites are planned for launch as the industry booms. Now, like any emerging technology, those satellite components are being hacked. "Today, Lennert Wouters, a security researcher at the Belgian university KU Leuven, will reveal one of the first security breakdowns of Starlink’s user terminals, the satellite dishes (dubbed Dishy McFlatface) that are positioned on people’s homes and buildings. At the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas, Wouters will detail how a series of hardware vulnerabilities allow attackers to access the Starlink system and run custom code on the devices. "To access the satellite dish’s software, Wouters physically stripped down a dish he purchased and created a custom hacking tool that can be attached to the Starlink dish. The hacking tool, a custom circuit board known as a modchip, uses off-the-shelf parts that cost around $25. Once attached to the Starlink dish, the homemade printed circuit board (PCB) is able to launch a fault injection attack—temporarily shorting the system—to help bypass Starlink’s security protections. This “glitch” allows Wouters to get into previously locked parts of the Starlink system."

First news-worthy WIRED story in a long-while! Thanks Gym! And totally scary too! Clearly Mollusk represents a dangerous central point of weakness and his SatNet needs to be completely ' nationalized " by the UN ( United Networks ) Any hostile alien species would have a field-day with this! Time to take the toys from this boy.
