It sucks when you can’t remember ‘whom’ you’re logged in as…
A burner account, kids, is an anonymous account that a person, often a public figure, uses in order to have the freedom to say things that the public figure in question wouldn’t dare say if they could be attributed to him or her. One of the most notorious burner accounts was Mitt Romney’s Pierre Delecto, which he used to champion the last principled, upright politician in the land, a chap named Mitt Romney.
Now, however, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been unmasked as the operator of a burner account that gives old Pierre a run for his money. AOC has apparently even used it to wish death on at least one person. What? You thought Leftists were as sweet, loving, and tolerant as they claim to be?

So, once again a Pol is caught out with a burner account… what a ‘surprise’… NOT!
Ever since the creation of the Intarwebz and emails, people have been spoofing, phishing, and/or creating fictitious accounts for various reasons, most of them nefarious in nature…
And oopsie #2…
The Chinese spy balloon that was allowed to spend a week flying over the U.S. was able to transmit secret intelligence to Beijing about several military bases “in real time,” according to a Monday morning news report.
Three unnamed officials told NBC News that Communist China was able to “gather intelligence from several sensitive American military sites.”

There were a number of backchannel discussions about this IRT, and the basic agreement among the folks was that it WAS transmitting real time via satellite and that it had not been jammed, since that would have required either ‘burning’ it or putting a jammer in proximity to it for the entire route…
Hate to say we were right, but we were… Grrr…
The upside is that we weren’t wrong.
Zaza Demon. Her inner demon speaks. And I thought they were legion.
As to that Chicom balloon what are you gonna do about it? The Chicoms own the White House and the Pentagon. Biden, Milley, and Austin are among the many traitorous agents controlled by them.
À la lanterne!
Ed- Not sure it’s an ‘inner’ demon…
John- Sigh…point.
TOS- Agreed!
Off topic rant removed.
We stick any number of satellites gathering real time data over anywhere we want to. Chicoms float a balloon over the US doing the same thing and people lose a grip.
My takeaways: The PRC is still way behind on space technology.
Don’t be surprised if one of our satellites goes dark.
Tit for tat my friends!
The PRC wanted to see what the White House would
tolerate and how they would react. Now they know.
Hey Old NFO;
Yeah the clown shows continues…We know that the lefties are not “warm, caring and considerate”, unlike their image that the mainstream media pushes becase the media is in the bag for the DNC. We far as the ChiComs, our “betters” don’t have our interests at heart, only theirs and they are not the same and it will hurt the country. I fear a coming dark age like what after the Roman Empire fell.
Gerry- One difference, satellites don’t have ‘persistence’ over a target, nor do they pick up communications. And yes, they wanted to see when/if the WH would react.
Bob- Concur.
Should we ever get into a shooting war with China, our “woke” senior/political leaders are going to get many of our people slaughtered.
The purpose of a military is to kill people and break the things of those who attack us.
WSF- Not today… It’s to be ‘inclusive’… Grrr…
Is anyone really surprised that Gen. Mark *I’ll warn China before we attack*Milley decided to let the ChiComs do whatever they wanted until all that delicate electronic circuitry was over corrosive salt water?
The problem with the admission we were Right, AGAIN, doesn’t accomplish anything. We should be able to Stop them when they are obviously screwing up and give them the Pelosi opportunity to prove their innocence.
If they were just idiots, once in a while they Wouldn’t Screw Us.
