The CIA Built Hundreds of Covert Websites. Here’s What They Were Hiding

The CIA didn’t just infiltrate governments; it infiltrated the internet itself. For over a decade, Langley operated a sprawling network of covert websites that served as global spy terminals disguised as harmless blogs, news hubs, and fan pages.

Beginning in 2004, the CIA established a vast network of at least 885 websites, ranging from Johnny Carson and Star Wars fan pages to online message boards about Rastafari. Spanning 29 languages and targeting at least 36 countries directly, these websites were aimed not only at adversaries such as China, Venezuela, and Russia, but also at allied nations, including France, Italy, and Spain, showing that the United States treats its friends much like its foes...

The Death of Anonymity: And How to Fight Back

You'd have to be ignorant to not see the problem with establishing the precedent for a president to send troops to takeover an American city.

Oh look WaPo finally got around to reporting what I covered for TLAV more than 6 months ago. Good for them.

First they came for...(updated)

First they came for the pro-Palestine college students, but I said nothing, cuz Hamas.

to find anarchy is to return to your original state of being-
the uncorrupted self that existed before the phantasms of dominion and authority were imposed upon you.
