“The allegations made by recent press reports claiming that the UAE is amongst a number of countries accused of alleged surveillance targetting of journalists and individuals have no evidentiary basis and are categorically false.” Except...evidence. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
The UAE and we should specifically Kung Fu Tahnoon's gang, hires contractors who use foreign nations to do their dirty work. It's not just Pegasus, but Russian tool kits and mods. They send written notices for hacks via L6 which is kinda stupid once you collect them.
There's an office in Uganda does some of the hacks sometimes going through cel service provider. There are also malware sites like Stryker that can load code. There was also a hacking team in Benghazi in June 2019 that showed off their stuff to the arriving mercs. It's pervasive.
The only guardrail is the high end no knock phone hack which can run around $200k but getting cheaper. @Calcalistech has been following bad actors for years. @citizenlab has also been at the forefront of exposing the abuse of military technology calcalistech.com/ctech/articles…
More attention should be paid to the Exploitation part of the hack. Is it used to murder someone, harass them, spoof them or just collect intel. This is where Information Operations skill sets come in to play. tnsr.org/2020/08/the-si…
For example the Wiener hack and the Biden hack are good mixes of false information, spoofing, hacking, loading content and exploitation. And yes you need a gullible media for it all to work. dangerousmagazine.com/2018/07/19/hac…

Donald is paying more per hour for lawyers than he did on some year's annual federal taxes. vanityfair.com/news/2021/08/d…
OK maybe the tax payer is subsidizing his legal costs via his tax exempt PACs.... because we need to preserve the right to grift and deceive the federal government. cnbc.com/2021/08/02/tru…
The law firm says they charge $950 an hour. Which seems pretty fair if tax payers and donors under $8K are paying. law.com/nationallawjou…

"ExploreTalent" aka "the Young and Restless Fake GOP" gets their astroturf shorts whipped down by @nicole_chenelle
Her hunch is correct but it goes all the way up to the top "I believe the compensation is quite literally structured like a pyramid scheme" just ask any right wing TrumpLicker on YouTube. thedailybeast.com/how-coward-and…
In the old days it was right wing late night AM radio and Jesus. Then it evolved to Trump and male hormone supplements. #BiggerDicks

Back in September 2001, people didn't know much about Afghanistan. It didnt' bother people that Pakistan, the UAE and the Saudi's officially recognized the angry beardies. They were mad at a Saudi rich kid and some burnt out jihadis that lived there. washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/nation/…
Even when the Emiratis rulers were caught selling weapons and ammo to the talibs via Dolphin Air (owned by Abdullah, now the foreign minister) and run by Viktor Bout people didn't really get upset. publicintegrity.org/national-secur…
Even when Emiratis went on big dollar bird killing hunting parties in Afghanistan and left Land Cruisers as gifts for the talibs....people didn't get upset. ft.com/content/57aeba…

Barr didn't want you to read the Mueller Report cuz Americans might get mad at Donald Trump. @JasonLeopold says fuck those clowns.
Page 19 of 37. Perjury: The truth is Bannon met Prince via director Steve McAveety. They then conspired to fuck up Hillary. Prince began appearing in Breitbart ending up with the fake Weiner laptop comments. Lying to the FBI is not good. Really not good. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2103…
@JasonLeopold I can see Bannon having a bad memory on demand. But he know that Prince couldn't write a two intelligible sentences let alone a "briefing paper". He paid old Reagan era hacks to do that.

Trump Lied, People died. Donny's vote steal/riot idea has been linked to 5 deaths, 140 officers injured, 17 still unable to work with taxpayer cost to investigate and prosecute. There have been four suicides by Capitol Police who were at the event.
