The site, starwarsweb.net, was a covert CIA communications tool. It has pictures of Yoda and C-3PO on it.

      Sometimes when I feel down I remember that time in 2012 where China executed a bunch of CIA assets by shooting them in the head

      Also if I remember the details right their names got leaked to Chinese intelligence because one of the CIA jackals did a whoopsie daisy and leaked info to Iran somehow

        it was way dumber than that, short version is the CIA web coder had “secret” “hidden” fields on run-of-the-mill-looking websites labeled very subtle things like “login” and “password” if you looked at the source code. so once you identified the template you could roll up the whole network by identifying each traitor’s custom website portal

      It is well known that China is the only country where it’s illegal to send national secrets to a foreign intelligence agency, their tyranny knows no bounds

      I like to think that when a westerner talks about human rights, he means the rights of CIA agents to destabilize a country unobstructed.

      Is this dipshit under the impression that when I am glad the CIA is getting fucked I would not have the exact same feelings about their agents?

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
