Unfortunately it doesn't lead the word in deciphering the cause of the shocks" ~Gil Scott-Heron 70% of the people in West Frankfort Illinois voted for Trump. Now they're upset one of their longstanding immigrant neighbors, a restaurant manager, is being detained. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/illinois-town-backed-trump-rallies…

Security error leaves 760 gigs on NY airport servers unprotected for a year
by Razer 28 Feb '17

Security error leaves NY airport servers unprotected for a year The backup storage drive hadn't been password-protected since April. The 760 GB of exposed data included TSA letters of investigation, social security numbers, internal airport schematics and emails, according to Chris Vickery, lead researcher from MacKeeper Security Center. He'd discovered the lapse, noting that the backup drive "was, in essence, acting as a public web server." If someone had found their way in, they could access a particular file with usernames and passwords for various devices and systems, which security experts confirmed to ZDNet would open up every component of the airport's internal network to a malicious user. Apparently, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey contracts out management of Stewart Airport to a private company called AvPORTS, which uses a single IT professional to set up and maintain its networks. Obviously, having one person show up twice a month per location to make sure each IT setup is watertight presents opportunities for lapses that go unnoticed. A Port Authority spokesperson noted that an investigation was ongoing, but that no information was believed to have been compromised during the near year-long exposure. https://www.engadget.com/2017/02/24/security-error-leaves-ny-airport-server… https://mackeeper.com/blog/post/334-extensive-breach-at-intl-airport

"Nils Bildt, " ... a candidate for deportation, but he's White so he's AltRight!
by Razer 28 Feb '17

Nils Bildt, the "Swedish Terrorism Expert" FauxNews used in their reporting on Violent Muslim Immigrants in Sweden, whom no one in Sweden has ever heard of, is really an "immigrant convicted of violent assault in the US..." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/sweden-fox-news-immigrant-… Also in the "Bad propaganda, Bad!" department: BBC News reports that the White Helmets Oscars entry is 'a British film' like so much other Syria propaganda. Meanwhile the videographer isn't being allowed to enter to US or leave Syria, according to whose reports you believe, but the videographer himself stated he was being prevented from ENTERING the US. Reason un-stated, but note that the "White Helmets are al-Qaeda's SAR team funded by USAID (a backchannel for the CIA) who film Gore/War Porn as they go, to discredit the Assad government of Syria. Verified. US denying entry on paperwork grounds. Tsk tsk ... his USAID/CIA/GCHQ connections couldn't help him out. http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/39089364/america-denies-entry-to-syri…

Humour murder - where #GasTheJokes hashtag is "odious" - [PFFR] Prominent YouTubers Find Great Anti-Semitic Hill to Die on

This is our last stand folks as the MSM continues to #GasTheJokes ! At least Gizmodo gets it [ahem]... ----- Forwarded message from "PFFR (People For Firetrucking Responsibility) Announcement List" <pffr(a)pffr.org> ----- Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2017 13:40:02 -0800 Subject: [ PFFR ] Prominent YouTubers Find Great Anti-Semitic Hill to Die on Prominent YouTubers Find Great Anti-Semitic Hill to Die on http://gizmodo.com/prominent-youtubers-find-great-anti-semitic-hill-to-die-… The gambit is simple: If "the mainstream media" crows at a hashtag that mockingly references genocide, it's evidence it's run by oversensitive snowflakes who just can't take a [deeply anti-semitic] joke. What a perfect way to distance YouTubers from allegations of anti-semitism. - - - --Laurfn--

[OT] [song] The Empty Chair - Sting
by Cecilia Tanaka 27 Feb '17

27 Feb '17

"If I don't have the moral courage to challenge authority... we don't have journalism." - James Foley, 1973 - 2014. The real journalism, the constant search for truth, the journalism that empowers the poor and the weak, that has no fear of politicians and other corrupt criminals, not the "journalism" that spreads fake alt-right news and lies, supporting those who have the power to censor journalism and fight against the freedom of the press. "Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air." - Henry Anatole Grunwald (Yes, he was a Republican, but would never support censorship and "fake news".) https://www.romper.com/p/this-james-foley-quote-at-the-2017-oscars-is-impor… The Oscar version is shorter than these lyrics, has fewer verses, but it's very sweet and heartbreaking the same. ====== The Empty Chair - Sting https://youtu.be/Vp9NfalTHqg If I should close my eyes, that my soul can see And there's a place at the table that you saved for me So many thousand miles over land and sea I hope to dare, that you hear my prayer And somehow I'll be there It's but a concrete floor where my head will lay And though the walls of this prison are as cold as clay But there's a shaft of light where I count my days So don't despair of the empty chair And somehow I'll be there Some days I'm strong, some days I'm weak And days I'm so broken I can barely speak There’s a place in my head where my thoughts still roam Where somehow I've come home And when the Winter comes and the trees lie bare And you just stare out the window in the darkness there Well I was always late for every meal you'll swear But keep my place and the empty chair And somehow I'll be there And somehow I'll be there
