I'm not making fun of it but these guys certainly are. I thought you might be interested in seeing some of the memes that have been going around the Arab and Iranian world after the recent Israeli, uh, attacks on communication devices. I'm granniopteryx...

Slow and tedious.

I didn’t think someone could make memes be slow and boring but this video I accomplished it

I took a deep breath but can’t hold my breath that long. Was like watching paint dry.

I thought an old lady calling herself granniopteryx with an original red faced Archaeopteryx graphic was worth seeing.

There is a Chinese (PRC) made computer in every government office including the DoD, DOJ, DHS, entire IC and these are used in systems that are cleared all the way through “secret.” You have Chinese made electronic components inside of military hardware. Chinese made servers are across our nation. Chinese made routers are in homes, government and business. Chinese made cell phones even if they have Apple or Motorola stamped on them are everywhere.

What is the probability that the Chinese have various collection and disabling capabilities built into some of these devices?

And were laughing at the Arabs?

Someone should tell the Youtube noobies on this thread about the Playback Speed setting in YouTube...

I set it to 2X, and it worked out just fine.

Most Brit-speaker YouTube videos have to be played at speeds greater than normal. I play Alexander Mercouris at 1.75X.

I skipped from meme to meme.

I like the one of the guy with an old rotary phone hanging from his belt.

Yeah, but its not like they have ever tampered with the electronics or anything.

They probably wouldn’t do that.

Actually the Iranians are Persian instead of Arab.   The granniopteryx made a point that the Sunni Arabs are enjoying the Shiite taking it in the nuts.

But the Chinese doing the same to us, we probably will not even know what happened until it is too late.

But to answer your question, we don't need a Magic 8 Ball to know:

● It is certain ● It is decidedly so ● Without a doubt ● Yes definitely ● You may rely on it ● As I see it, yes ● Most likely ● Outlook good ● Yes ● Signs point to yes

I’ve done that before too, but I didn’t need to do it here because I’m a Southerner.

“What is the probability that the Chinese have various collection and disabling capabilities built into some of these devices?”

The walkie talkies and pagers that detinated were made in Budapest, not Taiwan.

The lowest level of security that requires one is confidential. Any militay member has the next step, secret, and if they lose it, they are discharged. For a civilian, they are terminated. The term sensitive requires other information to make it a problem. Confidential, secret, top secret, up through compartmental are independent threat containing documents or knowledge. This is why sensitive compartmental information facilities (SCIF’s) are constructed. Trump had one at his home in Mar-a-Lago. It’s probably still there.
