The Central Intelligence Agency has an Open Source Center, where open source officers work on, well, open source information. It was established in 2005.

cia.gov/careers/games-…
On October 28, 2015, the Open Source Center was redesignated as the Open Source Enterprise and incorporated into the CIA's Directorate of Digital Innovation. Director John Brennan remained as the interagency Open Source Functional manager.

The Open Source Center was an idea by General Michael Hayden and was formally opened on November 1, 2005 in Reston, VA.

While it contained CIA staff members and followed CIA rules, it ultimately fell under the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

The latest Assistant Deputy Director of National Intelligence For Open Source I can find is Daniel S. Butler, who held the position from February 2006 to February 2011.

"We also have an announcement that we want to make regarding the Open Source Works, which is a CIA agency doing amazing open-source work. You'll hear about that later today."

Open Source Works was announced by Eliot Jardines on July 16, 2007 during the DNI Open Source Conference 2007.

The Open Source Enterprise used to operate out of Caversham Park in the UK, apparently since 1943, but it was closed down in October 2017 after the BBC's open source intelligence division was sold.

BBC is BBC Monitoring, which gathered open source information for government departments such as the Ministry of Defence, the Foreign Office and Intelligence Services.

BBC Monitoring is the UK version of Open Source Enterprise.

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)".

1. Tuesday just after midnight Monday, #QAnon posted "FBI burning the midnight oil". This eve #Q cited the midnight deadline just passed, for FBI to release doc requested by House Intel committee months ago, re FBI’s investigating Trump’s 2016 campaign starting prior to election.
2. Consistent with #QAnon's mention of the deadline Rosenstein finally provided the document earlier, Wed afternoon after threats of contempt and impeachment of Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray. #Q
3. Following #QAnon's mention of Rosenstein finally releasing the doc, the only remaining redactions were “narrowly tailored to protect the name of a foreign country and the name of a foreign agent.” #Q thehill.com/policy/nationa…
