NBC: Obama talked to Putin on red phone about election hack

Posted by | December 19, 2016 19:23 | Filed under: Politics

President Obama talked to Putin about hacking in China in September, and a month later picked up the red phone.

…the U.S. used the latest incarnation of an old Cold War communications system — the so-called “Red Phone” that connects Moscow to Washington — to reinforce Obama’s September warning that the U.S. would consider any interference on Election Day a grave matter.

This time Obama used the phrase “armed conflict.”

“International law, including the law for armed conflict, applies to actions in cyberspace,” said part of a message sent over the Red Phone on Oct. 31, according to a senior U.S. official. “We will hold Russia to those standards.”

…In a statement, a senior White House official confirmed that the Red Phone was used on Oct. 31 to send a message to Moscow. “This action was part of our ongoing, rigorous efforts to press the Russian government to halt the actions of those responsible for these cyber attacks.” The official declined to provide details of the message, however.

        “Xenu, an intergalactic ruler, was about to be removed from power, and he wasn’t having any of it. Instead, he got rid of the population that was planning to take him out by paralyzing and taking them to Earth (good old Teegeeack at the time). There, he loaded them into volcanoes, destroying them with hydrogen bombs.

        Bodies gone, he gathered the thetans – remember, those are the souls – and implanted misleading data, such as all religions, into their memories.

        The thetans began to cluster together and inhabit bodies of aliens that survived the blast (how they survived a hydrogen bomb, one can only guess). Voila! You have the predecessors to modern humans, and these thetans continue to move from body to body and life to life accumulating more misleading data along the way.

        Only with “auditing” can you remove this data, and set your thetan free!”

        Ooops, sorry, that’s the Scientology creation story. I always get those confused.
