IF you had actually listened to the former tech boss at the NSA explain the issue you would have learned the hack could not have happened the way the progs allege due to the restricted data rates on the undersea cables. The speed of transfer would have needed to be 4 times faster than the capabilities of the fastest available path, which is simply impossible. The actual data rate was exactly the speed of a USB type drive, connected locally. What a coincidence!

Then we had kingdoms. They were run by kings.
Now we have countries...
