Chaos and the Anti-Thread

You Tube doesn't offer 'recommended for you' anymore. Just 'new'. I don't know if this is a general you tube change or not.

i just received a scam call ... south asian voice tell me $300 will be auto-debited from my checking account every month for 'security purposes'. I called the number back and the dude got pissed off at me asking me why I was bothering to call back a scam number. I said because he was obviously part of the network that got my information. He said, ok, fine then you will be auto-debited for the indefinite future. I called my bank and while i'm waiting for an agent... i'm getting intermittent loud static, a buzz buzz, a click click and then a high-pitched whine and the dat dat dat of news alerts. and then it clears until the next time.

What the hell is going on!?

I'd be on that right away. Your bank might be getting hacked.

**Emil El Zapato** · 15th October 2020, 19:16

yeah, i did ...

Oh good. I log in to my bank from the internet website and I am hyper aware of look alike sites!

yeah, one has got to be seriously on guard, it would seem ... this whole scenario started for me a couple of weeks back when I absent-mindedly clicked on an update request. Even as I was clicking the thought hit me 'what a great way to introduce a virus'. It was a well known software provider but I hadn't seen a request for an update in a good while. Aragorn explained the reasons for that, after the fact, of course.

I don't click on anything unless I absolutely have to. It has more to do with the problem of finding someone to straighten things out, if I run into mundane troubles. Of course it protects me from criminal activity too....to a degree!

yeah, i was stupid but as always, in a hurry to get stuff done ...

It's called Mercury Retrograde, I guess it's hitting you hard now.

In the argot of spies, a “cobbler” assembles a dezinformatsiya packet, accompanied by more truthful “litter” and “chicken feed” that makes it appear as if a deceptive document is real. If possible, the information is left where it’s handily accessible to the target of the dezinformatsiya campaign, but a special purpose “floater” may be used to pass the information along—often without that person understanding their role in the scheme.

Now, substitute “hard drive” for “briefcase” and “email” for “document.” Because that’s exactly what happened on Wednesday as the New York Post ran a story about a soggy computer left behind by a mysterious stranger at a Delaware repair shop. That computer was supposed to kick off a scandal about Hunter Biden. But what it really proves is that Rudy Giuliani and Rupert Murdoch are neck-deep in a scheme to spread disinformation to the American public.

I just can't decide who is more moronic. The folks doing this or the folks who fall for it hook, line and sinker.

Seems I better watch that post.

OMG it just occurred to me. Republicans have been chasing after this 'unmasking' concoction because it would be so horrid to unmask someone.

And now they're all anti-mask. Oh, the poetic irony!

This is the first time I've ever been able to pull up anything on Robert David Steele that wasn't started by him or where he was the central character:

Is this guy for real? Robert David Steele claims to be a former CIA spy, former Marine, and co-founder of the MCIA
A friend of a friend posted a youtube video of this guy spewing some absolutely nutty conspiracy theories about Coronavirus being a nanovirus spread by 5G.

I've tried to check if any of his LONG list of incredible credentials are true, and find myself really doubting most of it. This is his bio: bio These are his schools: education And this is what he posted when prompted to provide proof of service: service

I'm not saying it's impossible that he's a former marine, but co-founder of the MCIA? I checked and they did have a civilian deputy working in tandem with an active military director, but I can't find his name associated with it anywhere other than on his own websites and postings. I’m thinking he’s either a very thorough fraud, or he’s legit and just completely off his rocker.

This looks like no certificate of retirement I've ever seen...

I’ve only managed to find a few photos of certificates of Honorable discharge that looked even remotely similar. But it is supposedly from 1996. He claimed he didn’t want to release his DD 214 because it had his social security number on it, but how hard is it to just black that out?

His bio is full of shit. Open source intelligence is just anything non classified that's available to anyone. So the extent of his super duper Intel collection likely involves reading books, newspapers and Facebook.

Am in military intelligence. Can confirm open source is literally anything you can use from google or other sites to add to real intel.
