  • At some point after 27 September, the CIA had added to its X profile page a link - https://t.me/securelycontactingcia - to its Telegram channel containing information about contacting the organisation on the dark net and through other secretive means.

    The channel said, in Russian: “Our global mission demands that individuals be able to reach out to CIA securely from anywhere,” while warning potential recruits to “be wary of any channels that claim to represent the CIA”.

    But a flaw in how X displays some links meant the full web address had been truncated to https://t.me/securelycont - an unused Telegram username.

    As soon as Mr McSheehan noticed the issue, he registered the username so anyone clicking on the link was directed to his own channel, which warned them not to share any secret or sensitive information.

    It’s high time for any US government agencies to leave Twitter





  • Woods said that if the company paid the guild’s minimum rates for child and adult actors it would add 40 percent to the cost of producing the live-action shows, which in some cases would prevent them from turning a profit. “We’d love to come to an agreement with SAG, but not at the expense of turning over the keys to them,” he said.

    But Masur said that explanation was ridiculous. He said Saban earned more than $300 million on “Power Rangers” alone in 1996 and that other children’s programmers, such as Warner Bros. and Disney, manage to earn a profit while paying SAG rates. The guild president said performers on Saban productions are paid a small fraction of the standard rate for the entertainment industry, and often do not receive benefits such as pension, health and residual income from rebroadcasts. He said that actors with speaking parts in Saban productions earn $200 a day, instead of the $559 that SAG has established as the industry minimum.

    Same fight, a different day (the article’s from January 1998). They were making $300M dollars a year, but “couldn’t” pay SAG minimums of $559 a day for speaking actors.

  • “Israel has a right to self-defence, but it has to be done within international law … cutting water, cutting electricity, cutting food to a mass of civilian people is against international law,” said EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Tuesday (10 October).

    He repeated the view more than once in his press briefing. “The Palestinian people are also suffering,” he added.

    An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. This cycle of violence and repression needs to stop.
