pewdiepie won't.
I just watched the clip and it's Baked Alaska doing the Hit or Miss song, but it's Alex Jones voice clips. That's it. But yes, pewdiepie will now be declared a Nazi again by the media.

"Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab turned Harold T. Martin III in to the NSA after receiving strange Twitter messages in 2016 from an account linked to him".
"Martin used an anonymous Twitter account with the name 'HAL999999999' to send five cryptic, private messages to two researchers at [Kaspersky Lab]."

"After each researcher responded to the confusion messages, Hal blocked them."

politico.com/story/2019/01/…
August 13, 2016 was the first message to the Kaspersky Lab researchers.

"So... figure out how how we talk. With Yevgeny present."

"Shelf life, three weeks."

In the Equation Group dump is a module known as "m12000000", or TADAQUEOUS, which does not have a Listening Post (LP) attached to it.

"It can only be loaded and unloaded through this interface, not controlled, and it will spit an error message."

laanwj.github.io/2016/09/01/tad…
What apparently TADAQUEOUS does is cripple or disable IPsec, or Internet Protocol Security.

"Most of the symbols are not standard Linux symbols but specific to the TOS/Fortinet implementation."

laanwj.github.io/2016/09/01/tad…
"I read this to mean that the hardware or software of the system running IPsec was compromised, causing it to send valid protocol ESP packets, but creating those in such a way that these could be decrypted without knowing the ESP session keys (from IKE)".

A thread:

Tonight my husband went out to a craft beer event. I dropped him off and he took an Uber home. I realize how millenial those first two sentences sound, but he's a small-town Gen X-er who started drinking craft beer before most millennials were legal age. Anyway...
His driver picked him up and my husband made the usual driver-passenger small talk, asking him if he enjoyed being an Uber driver.

"No," was his swift reply.

Awkward, but honest. My husband probed further.
Beyond the usual drunk pukers who swear their fine, then vomit all over the window and door, he recounted the numerous times he's driven inebriated individuals home who have requested "a favour" and demanded to be taken through drice-thrus for food or to a store for smokes.

Democracy in action
Senator Burr now giving his opening statement and focuses on the importance of how we look at how social media "disseminates" information. This puts people in "positions to win wars without firing a shot."

My FBR party yesterday was a great idea, and I loved seeing everyone's posts about how they contribute to the resistance. However, it got me thinking about two polarizing opinions on HOW we resist, and I'd like to address those. 1/
One point of view seems to be that resisting by retweeting, hosting and joining FBR parties, and sometimes trolling Trump himself or arguing with trolls and conservatives online, are all excellent ways of resisting. 2/
On the opposite end, others are very critical of anyone who isn't constantly active offline. You'll hear both "We should be in the streets every day!" and "Marching solves nothing, you have to vote!" 3/
