SpaceX is continuing preparations this morning for launch of a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral with the Turksat 5A communications satellite.
There’s a 70% chance of good weather for liftoff during a four-hour window opening at 8:28pm EST (0128 GMT).

Well, there is a lot of footage, and because most of them don't believe Covid is real, they were not wearing masks.
Both us and the cops are going to have a field day between this footage and seeing them talk openly on Parler. Not only is that going to mean a lot of people lose their jobs, friends and social circles, but a lot of these people are going to catch felony charges for what they did yesterday.
Its about to be a really bad time for the fash!

Sharing this to help make people aware that there have been reports of a new scam, whereby a person receives a text saying they need to book a vaccination appointment and it takes them to a fake NHS form which then asks for their bank details to prove their identity.
The NHS will never ask for peoples banking information.
The scam has been reported in the media here: https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/1378158/NHS-Covid-19-Vaccination-Vaccine-Appointment-Pfizer-BioNTech-Text-Scam-How-To-Avoid

I love that this Stanford cryptography 101 course basically teaches students how to add a government backdoor.
“Adding the sending key encrypted under the government’s public key should not compromise the security properties of the chat client.”

And the media fanned the flames.
If anything comes out of this, I hope its a M5M spanking. Fox news and cnn ruined journalism from the moment of their inception.
