LONDON — Security experts are warning that the global cyberattack that began on Friday is likely to be magnified in the new workweek as users return to their offices and turn on their computers.

This will continue tomorrow.

Yeah, Clinton. That's the problem. :gun

It's looking more and more like murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich was the source of the wikileaks podesta e-mails, which means the russians didn't do it...which also means his death was probably not random...which means the clintons probably killed another one...which means yup, Hillary was the problem.

Um,no.

 

Fox News and its Washington, D.C., affiliate, Fox 5, are standing by their conspiracy-mongering reports that slain Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich was connected to WikiLeaks before he was shot to death in July ― even as those stories fall apart.

 

In recent days a report from Washington D.C.’s Fox affiliate on the death of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich has dominated the conservative media world, including Fox News, Breitbart, InfoWars, and the Drudge Report, while most other outlets are covering the ever-increasing number of White House scandals.

 

The local Fox broadcaster’s story relied on the word of a private investigator, Rod Wheeler, who claimed he discovered that Rich had transferred tens of thousands of emails to WikiLeaks, the group which released hacked DNC emails during the 2016 presidential election.

 

Wheeler, as it turns out, was a Fox News analyst, vocal Trump supporter and conspiracy theorist who was being paid by another Fox News pundit, Ed Butowsky. (Butowsky initially denied that he had any role in the investigation but then admitted that he had lied about his involvement.) Both the Washington, D.C. police and Rich’s family rejected Wheeler’s “findings,” with a family spokesman saying that “there is a special place in hell for people” who “would try and manipulate the legacy of a murder victim in order to forward their own political agenda.”

 

Despite initial glee from right-wing media pundits—Alex Jones of InfoWars declared that Wheeler “got in the laptop” that Rich was using—it turns out that Wheeler has absolutely no evidence that Rich was in contact with WikiLeaks.

 

Wheeler admitted that he had no evidence and based his allegations on something he heard from a Fox reporter:

 

Brad Bauman, a spokesman for the Rich family, said Tuesday that the stories were an effort to spread a “political agenda.” He said the family was calling for a full retraction of both stories.

 

“They need to retract the story or issue an apology, or the family will consider other options, including legal, to clear their son’s name and get Fox to do what’s right,” Bauman told CNN.

I'm callin bullshit, I cant imagine anyone in the media having a political agenda? Serious journalists rely on facts, and just the facts.

LOL OK. The guy turned out to be a Fox News analyst. Paid by another Fox News idiot who lied at first about it. And his story has changed plus the family is pissed off Faux News is dishororing the memory of their son. So which part is BS?

 

And who the hell ever said Faux News was serious journalism?

The New 'World's Hottest Pepper' Is Not For The Faint Of Heart

HuffPost

Suzy Strutner 59 minutes ago

If you’re averse to spicy foods, turn back now.

 

A U.K. plant grower claims he’s invented the world’s new hottest chili pepper, with a kick so strong it should never be eaten. Mike Smith’s Dragon’s Breath chili reportedly measures 2.48 million units on the Scoville heat scale, making it far spicier than the current official record-holder, the Carolina Reaper pepper, which measures an average of 1.57 million SHU.

 

 

Smith worked with professors at Nottingham Trent University to develop his pepper as a plant feed that helps plants ward off diseases, he told HuffPost.

 

Even though chilis this hot can cause health problems and death, he said people have tasted the Dragon’s Breath.

 

 

“We had a guy eat it this morning and survive,” Smith said. “It’s got a really freaky flavor to it. It’s very fruity but very, very hot. I realized it was too hot for me.”

 

The oil from Dragon’s Breath may possibly be used as a skin-numbing agent in people who are allergic to regular anesthetics, he added.

 

The university tested the pepper for its Scoville rating, and Smith is awaiting a verdict from Guinness World Records after submitting an application for the record. His request is indeed being processed, a spokeswoman confirmed.

 

Meanwhile, we’ll be waiting... from a safe distance.

You do realize he was a hard core democrat, dont you?

Yeah, he worked for Mondale. So what?

 

I know all and see all.

 

I have more political knowledge and supreme intelligence and knowledge of world affairs and political history that all of the numb nuts that post on these boards (combined).

 

The minute Beckel joined Fox (as some kind of a token House Knee Grow) he outed himself as a POS.
