Am I the only one who read the article in Business Insider concerning "The Russians are screwing with the GPS system to send bogus navigation data to thousands of ships?"

I mean it seems that I must be since this isn't one of the leading stories this a.m and you might want to

ask why it isn't a lead story? Trump is always Trump, working tirelessly to stay in the news for good or bad, but this story concerning the GPS system should be more important than Trump's bullshit, which is all that he ever shovels, more and more bullshit.
Here's the highlights:

The Russians are hacking the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) on a mass scale in order to confuse thousands of ships and airplanes about where they are, according to a study by Centre for Advanced Defense (C4ADS).

Law enforcement, shipping, airlines, power stations, your phone, and anything else dependent on GPS time and location synchronization, are vulnerable to GNSS hacking.

All of Britain's critical infrastructure is dependent on GNSS and GPS, according to a report commissioned by the UK Space Agency.

Russian president Putin's summer dacha is protected by a GNSS spoofing array that helps create a no-fly zone over his vast Italian-style mansion.

On May 15,2018, under a sunny sky, Russian president Vladimir Putin drove a bright orange truck in a convoy of construction vehicles for the opening of the Kerch Bridge from Russia to Crimea. At 11 miles long, it is now the longest bridge in either Europe or Russia.

As Putin drove across the bridge, something weird happened. The satellite navigation systems in the control rooms of more than 24 ships anchored nearby suddenly started displaying false information about their location. Their GPS systems told their captains they were anchored

more than 65 kilometres away-on land, at the Anapa Airport.

This was NOT a random glitch,according to the Centre for Advanced Defense Studies, a security think tank. It was a deliberate plan to make it difficult for anyone nearby to track or navigate around the presence of Putin

"ALL CRITICAL NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURES RELY ON GNSS TO SOME EXTENT"- and the Russians have started hacking it.

This on top of the knowledge of Russians interfering in elections in Africa, having military and others in Venezuela, and their feet being on almost every patch of land

in the world that is inhabited should worry every American, the fact that it doesn't shows that far too many have forgotten the Cold War, forgotten how Russia's past shows their attempts today and in the future and what is the purpose of them.

Our MSM and our Government overlooks the Global Criminal Enterprise active today at our own peril, and those who do not realize how it absolutely has an effect on their average every day lives and how little our media works to inform Americans on the most important issues in the

world absolutely affects their cost of gas, good, water, etc, their very existence is touched by everything that happens globally.

Please start paying attention to the world and moves made by Russia globally, and how our @GOP @SenateGOP @HouseGOP are absolutely more than willing

to sell you, your children and your grandchildren down the river to obtain more power, more wealth, see @RandPaul @senatemajldr removing sanctions against one of the most corrupt Russian Oligarchs and in return they get a aluminum co in Kentucky with NO purpose. See how it works.

@sarahkendzior @AndreaChalupa did you see the article about Russians hacking the GPS system?
