Reality Winner says she leaked classified material to serve American people

60-minutes-overtime
DECEMBER 3, 2021 / 7:54 AM / CBS NEWS

Reality Winner, a former NSA contractor, tells Scott Pelley she leaked classified documents to the media to honor her pledge of service to the American people. Winner, who also served six years in the U.S. Air Force, spoke to Scott Pelley in her first television interview since being released from prison. She spent more than four years behind bars, the longest sentence ever served by a civilian accused of leaking information to the media.

Winner was arrested in June 2017 after sending a top-secret National Security Agency report about Russian government hacking of the 2016 election to a news organization.

She, Snowden, and Chelsea Manning can all go fuck themselves. So can Daniel Ellsberg. The ends don't justify the means.

Cake is a vegetable, right?

I think that's what's for breakfast.

It contains vegetables, but it also may contain animal products such as eggs, milk, and butter.

But there’s nothing wrong with that (unless, like me, you’re allergic to that stuff). So enjoy a slice for me!

IOW, the only difference between cake and two over easy with toast is how it's prepared. TY!

PS: your slice was good.

Does anyone know if there's an option on the board to let you change the *reading* font sizes? I've looked everywhere I can think of, but thought I'd ask before giving up.

In a spiral galaxy our local star never stops circling the galactic center. Of course, our galaxy constantly moves within the Local Group.

According to my current schedule, the Milky Way will "swoop" closely past the Andromeda galaxy in about 4.3 billion years, and then I have a total merger planned for 10 billion years after that.

Cheer up, you'll be dead by then. Our star will be dead. Dead. Dead. Dead.

Have a nice day. :biggrin:

Here's what it all means:

I was born in a very precise location (my mom was in the room at the time). That location was a place on a constantly moving planet, circumnavigating a constantly moving star, within a constantly moving galaxy. So the exact spot where I was hatched is lost to the mysteries of time, so far in my rear view mirror it's no longer visible.

Oh well. :whistle:

Well, the universe is constantly expanding as well, so what was a precise location then is more of a general area these days, and getting vaguer with every passing millisecond.

That explains the recent time warp. We passed through a quark field that denumerated the Fibronacci sequence causing a reversal of the neutron flow.

"Silenced No More": One woman's allegations of abuse by Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/silenced-n ... =143070539
She said she met Epstein when she was 22, introduced by a young woman she encountered at a New York nightclub who (she later discovered) was paid to recruit her.

Ransome flew to Epstein's private island, Little St. James, thinking she was going on a vacation, she writes: "It sounded so amazing – and then boof, you're on this island, and that's it. Lock and key. There is no escape. There is no one to hear your screams and cries."

It was there she said she first met Maxwell, and alleges she was repeatedly raped by Epstein.

"It was made very clear to me, that first trip, that if I ever went to the authorities, if I told my parents, if I told my friends, if I ever left, Jeffrey said to me, 'I will kill you. I will hunt your mother and father down, and I will kill them.'"

If your mouse has a wheel, using ctrl+(scroll wheel up or down) will increase/decrease the size of the image. Works on any site. Its a browser function, not a Fogbow function.
