Russia has banned a picture depicting President Vladimir Putin as a potentially gay clown.

Russian news outlets are having trouble reporting exactly which image of the Internet's many Putin-gay-clown memes is now illegal to share. Because, you know, it's been banned.

But the picture was described last week on the Russian government's list of things that constitute “extremism.”

EVERY time I drink a glass of water I feel worse, and I don't think it's coincidence...

There they throw you off a roof for kinky sex and here we just poison you slowly until your nervous system DIES...

I keep thinking I need to sell everything and leave.

I should've done that before they poisoned my nervous system.

That right there... is The Funny.

I wonder, if I put up a web site selling Putin Gay Clown t-shirts, how long would it take before it got hacked into little pieces?

That would actually explain a lot.

You should bet a hard copy of your water quality report from your water supplier every July.


I'd imagine due to the nature of lawsuits, nobody is in a big hurry to create a year by year collection of past reports to view online. It appears that even my own city only has 2019's report, and it only now occurs to me that we didn't get one in 2020 (I'm sure it's blamed on COVID). So I guess we have no idea what's been put in our water the last year. *great*

If you didn't save them, maybe you have a neighbor with a big distrust of government who has decades worth of them that you could copy?

Don't bother contacting the EPA. You can try contacting the public works department in your city, although they probably don't even have one to give you if there were actually dangerous levels of something in the water 4 years ago and they somehow miraculously haven't been sued for that yet.

If you can't get anywhere with the city, I'd try working with somebody at the county.

I guess you missed this story:

Jan 2nd

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/02/us/politics/russian-hacking-governm
ent.html


"On Election Day, General Paul M. Nakasone, the nation’s top cyberwarrior, reported that the battle against Russian interference in the presidential campaign had posted major successes and exposed the other side’s online weapons, tools and tradecraft.

“We’ve broadened our operations and feel very good where we’re at right now,” he told journalists.

Eight weeks later, General Nakasone and other American officials responsible for cybersecurity are now consumed by what they missed for at least nine months: a hacking, now believed to have affected upward of 250 federal agencies and businesses, that Russia aimed not at the election system but at the rest of the United States government and many large American corporations.

Three weeks after the intrusion came to light, American officials are still trying to understand whether what the Russians pulled off was simply an espionage operation inside the systems of the American bureaucracy or something more sinister, inserting “backdoor” access into government agencies, major corporations, the electric grid and laboratories developing and transporting new generations of nuclear weapons."

=====

Google if you need other sources.

You're the queen of deflection, using "What are America's interests?" to side track many discussions... so is does this / Cyber Security qualify as one of our vital Interests?


"The breach is far broader than first believed. Initial estimates were that Russia sent its probes only into a few dozen of the 18,000 government and private networks they gained access to when they inserted code into network management software made by a Texas company named SolarWinds. But as businesses like Amazon and Microsoft that provide cloud services dig deeper for evidence, it now appears Russia exploited multiple layers of the supply chain to gain access to as many as 250 networks.

The hackers managed their intrusion from servers inside the United States, exploiting legal prohibitions on the National Security Agency from engaging in domestic surveillance and eluding cyberdefenses deployed by the Department of Homeland Security.

“Early warning” sensors placed by Cyber Command and the National Security Agency deep inside foreign networks to detect brewing attacks clearly failed. There is also no indication yet that any human intelligence alerted the United States to the hacking.

The government’s emphasis on election defense, while critical in 2020, may have diverted resources and attention from long-brewing problems like protecting the “supply chain” of software. In the private sector, too, companies that were focused on election security, like FireEye and Microsoft, are now revealing that they were breached as part of the larger supply chain attack.

SolarWinds, the company that the hackers used as a conduit for their attacks, had a history of lackluster security for its products, making it an easy target, according to current and former employees and government investigators. Its chief executive, Kevin B. Thompson, who is leaving his job after 11 years, has sidestepped the question of whether his company should have detected the intrusion.

Some of the compromised SolarWinds software was engineered in Eastern Europe, and American investigators are now examining whether the incursion originated there, where Russian intelligence operatives are deeply rooted."

I'd ask you to re-read my post, but we both know you didn't read it the first time. That would take effort, and it's till too much for you to leave the basement

I wondered if your family thinks you are gay or less than functional. I don't care if you are either, but you seem to care if they believe it. I mean, at your age...you just KNOW they all wonder what is really wrong with you. WOW, would they be surprised at the depth of your stupidity if they only knew.

You should tell them you spent 5 years drunkposting and the next five supporting the worst Prez we've ever had.

Dude. Everybody in your family knows that you're a hateful, toxic bitch that is ruining your retarded daughter and cut off her husband's balls after your poisoned eggs dumped out a dummy.

If you think for a minute that your sad, unfulfilling, tragic charade of a life makes you the poster child for why an adult needs to be married, you've got another thing coming to you. You'll figure that out when she grows up to be a despicable, perpetually unhappy, man-hating disappointment just like dear old mom. Don't blame her when that happens.

As for my friends and family? lol... If any of them want to throw a stone at me I'll pitch it right back at them and shatter their glass house.




The real question here is, what is your defect? Why are you so weak? Why do you feel the need to have somebody you hate of the opposite sex living in your house with a retarded little fuck trophy running around in an attempt to prove that you're not batshit crazy?

Why do you care so much what other people think about you?

Yes they do and yes they all have hacked US networks -what's your point? So you think Russia never has? Sorry, I know you aren't that stupid or naive. So, you're lying again.

Those "landmarks" would be code left by the exceptionally talented State sponsored, Russian hackers like fancy bear etc., etc., etc - read the article.

I guess you missed this story:

"On Election Day, General Paul M. Nakasone, the nation’s top cyberwarrior, reported that the battle against Russian interference in the presidential campaign had posted major successes and exposed the other side’s online weapons, tools and tradecraft.

“We’ve broadened our operations and feel very good where we’re at right now,” he told journalists.

Eight weeks later, General Nakasone and other American officials responsible for cybersecurity are now consumed by what they missed for at least nine months: a hacking, now believed to have affected upward of 250 federal agencies and businesses, that Russia aimed not at the election system but at the rest of the United States government and many large American corporations.

Three weeks after the intrusion came to light, American officials are still trying to understand whether what the Russians pulled off was simply an espionage operation inside the systems of the American bureaucracy or something more sinister, inserting “backdoor” access into government agencies, major corporations, the electric grid and laboratories developing and transporting new generations of nuclear weapons."

Google if you need other sources.

You're the queen of deflection, using "What are America's interests?" to side track many discussions... so is does this / Cyber Security qualify as one of our vital Interests?


"The breach is far broader than first believed. Initial estimates were that Russia sent its probes only into a few dozen of the 18,000 government and private networks they gained access to when they inserted code into network management software made by a Texas company named SolarWinds. But as businesses like Amazon and Microsoft that provide cloud services dig deeper for evidence, it now appears Russia exploited multiple layers of the supply chain to gain access to as many as 250 networks.

The hackers managed their intrusion from servers inside the United States, exploiting legal prohibitions on the National Security Agency from engaging in domestic surveillance and eluding cyberdefenses deployed by the Department of Homeland Security.

“Early warning” sensors placed by Cyber Command and the National Security Agency deep inside foreign networks to detect brewing attacks clearly failed. There is also no indication yet that any human intelligence alerted the United States to the hacking.

The government’s emphasis on election defense, while critical in 2020, may have diverted resources and attention from long-brewing problems like protecting the “supply chain” of software. In the private sector, too, companies that were focused on election security, like FireEye and Microsoft, are now revealing that they were breached as part of the larger supply chain attack.

SolarWinds, the company that the hackers used as a conduit for their attacks, had a history of lackluster security for its products, making it an easy target, according to current and former employees and government investigators. Its chief executive, Kevin B. Thompson, who is leaving his job after 11 years, has sidestepped the question of whether his company should have detected the intrusion.

Some of the compromised SolarWinds software was engineered in Eastern Europe, and American investigators are now examining whether the incursion originated there, where Russian intelligence operatives are deeply rooted."

SIGFRAUD: "When it crosses our vital interests, please let me know." Letting you know.^



BUMP!

So SIG???

Russian Deep Hacking of US Networks not of a vital interest to you? Wow - what's it take for you to show interest in this country? An attempted coup?




BUMP

SIG? "Someone" hacked US a great many networks - or do you think the whole thing is false?

Russian news outlets are having trouble reporting exactly which image of the Internet's many Putin-gay-clown memes is now illegal to share. Because, you know, it's been banned.

But the picture was described last week on the Russian government's list of things that constitute “extremism.”
