Strangely, it happened right after Rep. Waters raised concerns about how the Trump administration will deal with Russia. But probably it was just an internal routing error. Nothing to worry about! CSpan taken over by RT |

Or it was a 400 pound guy sitting on his bed who's really good with the cyber. Couldn't be Russia, because reasons.

Well, even the naysayers at this point should start to wonder that if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

Or maybe China diverting attention from themselves or some basement geek. Don't worry it's all normal, as you were.  |

Holy shit.
I'm almost afraid to ask "what next?"
This is a runaway train of horror.

Watching Rachel Maddow and she brought up not only did the House feed get taken over, somehow, by RT. Earlier in the day at the Senate Hearing for the CIA Director just as Senator Warren was talking about investigating the Russian hacks the power went out.
Do I think both of these "disturbances " orchestrated to happen if "Russia" was the subject ? Not really. But it sure is interesting.

As a total aside - was anyone else surprised RT formerly known as Russia Today is in English?

And yet I'm still seeing mocking posts on FB and elsewhere from people who are incredulous that people like me are so "fearful" of this administration.

Apparently the feed was RT America - which certainly explains why it was in English - thanks NY Times:https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/12/business/media/cspan-russia-today.html

Wow. It makes you wonder what the heck is really going on, and if the people "in the know" are starting to panic yet. Power grids, media feeds, cyberspace, what's next?

Many countries have it (including the US - we've had voice of America in lots of languages since forever). RT is in English as the US is the target market. It obviously has a pro-Russia, pro-Putin bias. As such, I'm certain that it is a legit news source unlike those fake networks like CNN and the bbc. /s |

And what was super interesting about it, was that the "feed" was about Poland. And. you know that the US has just increased military ground support in Poland on January 12 in response to concerns by Poland and other Baltic states about Russian aggression. Russia has stated that they consider this to be a "threat to their (Russia's) security". linklink 2I am not a conspiracy person, but I am saying that I think the sh&& is going to be hitting the fan real fast. |
