Ukraine and Russia have both said air alert apps were hacked on Sunday night after fake messages warning of attacks, including nuclear, were sent to users.

Ukraine's widely used app sent red-level air raid warnings across the country, with additional warnings of radiation, chemical attacks, and street fighting sent to some residents in areas including Kyiv.

A few hours later, Russian authorities said a similar app was hacked after fake alerts, some of which contained foul language, were triggered.

It was unclear who was behind the cyberattacks or whether the two incidents were connected.

Tucker Carlson is reporting that Netanyahu is pressuring Trump to Nuke Iran’s Pickaxe Mountain, maybe that has something to do with this warning.

Sounds like Russians hacked the Ukrainian system; then Ukrainian hackers responded in kind.

Speaking of internet issues, this site is getting slow and problematic. I’m thinking that tomorrow, which will be a big day with a lot of people trying to access the site, is going to be really, really difficult.

Why ask Trump? Israel can do it.

One thing that has really opened my eyes over the last couple of years is the rampant antisemitism that exists in the western world.

It’s not just Muslims that hate the Jews; it’s the vast majority of Liberals and many so call Neo-Conservatives including people like Tucker Carlson.

In many cases it’s not just a general dislike, it’s hate filled rage to the point of violence by many people in the west.

Saw an article this morning that grocery store freezers in European countries are being hacked. French grocery store freezers were hacked in early October.

Supermarket freezers in several European countries hit by apparent cyberattacks

Also, a few weeks ago, I read an article that Samsung smart refrigerators in this country were hacked too.

It’s going to get worse. In the last days, every nation will turn against Israel. If the US turns against Israel means the Democrats won (by cheating).

One thing that has really opened my eyes over the last couple of years is that despite the attempts of normal people to not attribute the actions of the 1948, UN created nation of Israel to “all Jews”, Jews across the diaspora continually insist that any criticism of Israel must be caused by “antisemitism” and is in fact a criticism of all Jews everywhere.

So which is it? When Israel does something bad, should we blame all Jews everywhere? Or are the actions of Israel distinct from all Jews everywhere and criticism of Israel has nothing to do with the other Jews?

Also, your understanding of Neo-conservatism and who is or who is not one, is way off.

People like Irving Kristol, Bill Kristol, Richard Wormser, Douglas Feith, Norman Podhoretz, Paul Wolfowitz, etc.... were widely accepted as and self professed Neocons. Tucker is the opposite of a Neocon.

I suggest you read up on it.

Tucker Carlson also reported:

He was attacked by a demon.

He met with an exorcist, but backed out because he was “too Protestant”.

There’s a big alien coverup.

Abortion causes hurricanes.

Nuclear power is demonic and Einstein got the idea from the Devil.

The us government made deals with demons to get nuclear tech.

Trump uses witchcraft to cast spells on people.

He’s a nutter, Jim.
