Sharyl Attkisson's computers compromised
Politico ^ | 5/21/13 | Dylan Byers

Posted on 05/21/2013 10:01:15 AM PDT by Thane_Banquo

Sharyl Attkisson, the Emmy-award winning CBS News investigative reporter, says that her personal and work computers have been compromised and are under investigation.

"I can confirm that an intrusion of my computers has been under some investigation on my end for some months but I'm not prepared to make an allegation against a specific entity today as I've been patient and methodical about this matter," Attkisson told POLITICO on Tuesday. "I need to check with my attorney and CBS to get their recommendations on info we make public."

If I had nothing to lose I thought it would be interesting to say something incendiary on a phone call just to see how long it took for a guy with a gun to show up at my door.

If you have young children and aren't at least considering another country, you are a negligent parent.

Equine feces. If you think this won't soon be global you aren't awake. There is no place to run.

The new narrative is “No laws were broken! Selective enforcement against a non protected class is not illegal”.

And they may be right.

The GOP won't do much. They have enough skeletons in the closet they don't want out. In fact I expect a few to come out in support of this soon.

When I talk about the Chicago way, this is it. The GOP can't hurt Obama, only some other machine can. That would be Hillary.

Protect your own.

That is all we have left.

I don't have the resources to go expat yet. Nor the desire. But I have considered it. I have nothing bad to say to those who choose to.

Realists admit when there are no paths forward. Bush built the trap with the Patriot act, Obama just used it.

Honestly, posting on FR is a monitored activity. Be careful what you say.

“when are the GOP the normal minded people and the corrupt media going to wake up and understand and call this administration out. . .”

My guess is they are awake and haven’t wanted to call out anyone because they don’t want their computer compromised.
Whatever one calls that. Cowardly is one.

No, it isn't, and it is a strategy sure to fail.

That was true when Clinton was President. I crossed that bridge a very long time ago.

She should use a VM machine with the USB shared to a Wireless USB network FOB.

To a modern day "journalist" or a politician...you might as well be speaking Klingon.

99.9999% are technologically illiterate.
Techno Dunces if you will.

For a long time I have pretty much known that whatever we post of FR is being monitored.

Just got to ignore it and tell the truth.

Welcome to the world of the “birthers”, Sharyl.

All the corrupt tactics we “birthers” were ridiculed for mentioning because it was too “conspiratorial” are now wide out in the open.

What still remains hidden to the public is what these tactics are supposed to cover up - in the case of the “birthers” as well as in the stuff that Sharyl alone has been willing to seriously investigate.

She is finding out what ‘fundamentally transform America’ really means! Thus is revealed the ‘black messiah’ ...

Perhaps they always have. Perhaps they are simply an adjunct to the NSA.

Your assets would probably be confiscated by the IRS before they let you go.

Oh, they're working on that now! And it will be cloaked as "patriotic". That's why people should be investigating options now.

There are lots of tyrants around the world. But, they don't control every aspect of life like our gov't. does. They don't have that power. They're just in it for the money and the typical peasant is as free as we were 50 years ago.

I tried it. Been overseas 15 months before I came back to my home of 60+ years. The grass IS NOT greener on the other side of the fence.

“No place like the soon to be “Republic of Texas”......home of the Second Ammendment and common sense!

‘No place to run’? Bullseye!!!!

I am very tempted to write a freeper “how to guide” to making a secure untracible VM that can easily be disposed of.

I may very well do this...
