Games Organizers at Pyeongchang Winter Olympics Confirm Cyber Attack, Won't Reveal Source (reuters.com)
Pyeongchang Winter Olympics organizers confirmed on Sunday that the Games had fallen victim to a cyber attack during Friday's opening ceremony, but they refused to reveal the source. From a report: The Games' systems, including the internet and television services, were affected by the hack two days ago but organizers said it had not compromised any critical part of their operations. "Maintaining secure operations is our purpose," said International Olympic Committee (IOC) spokesman Mark Adams. "We are not going to comment on the issue. It is one we are dealing with. We are making sure our systems are secure and they are secure."
...the NORKS did it.
Russia or North Korea?

Hey the athletes formerly known as Russians had no gold medals but now the scoreboard says 10 and something rude about NATO.
I would have said Russia, but there's no evidence of collusion.
That last part is over-confidence. It's hard to know if one has plugged all breaches.
Table-ized A.I.
The Democrats won't lock up Trump for the same reason that the Republicans won't lock up Clinton.
Locking up failed POTUS tier politicians just because they've committed a crime would set a nasty precedent that neither party wants to set - the system would spiral down into one where politicians would all end up in prison at the end of the careers rather than giving speeches to Goldman Sachs for $300K a shot. Or, even worse from their perspective, one where elite politicians didn't act like they're completely above the law. The horror!
They're like two cats having a fight over who gets to fuck the female - they'll draw blood and maybe disable their opponent but they won't kill each other. The female in this analogy being you, the American voter.
But keep chanting 'Lock her/him up!' if it makes you feel empowered.

I noticed on TV that Mike Pence looked kind of upset during the opening ceremony.
Also, the biathlon has been moved to a wooded area outside of Chernobyl.

Kim Yo Jong is evil personified. The fawning over her is nauseating.
PSA: Kim Jong Un's Sister Is Not Your New Fave Shade Queen. She's A Garbage Monster.
What the hell is wrong with you people?
1. She's believed to be part of the regime's Propaganda and Agitation Department...so she's prooooobably not trying to defect.
2. Speaking of family, Kim Jong Un is believed to have ordered the assassination of his own half brother, Kim Jong Nam.
3. The North Korean regime commits frequent public executions of its own citizens.
4. In fact, the North Korean regime actually enslaves many of its citizens.
5. The regime is one of the world's most repressive. It strips its citizens of all sorts of rights, including freedom of expression, freedom of information, and the freedom to move in and out of the country.
6. Kim Yo Jong's family literally runs gulags.
A United Nations inspector in 2013 spoke of "unspeakable atrocities" inflicted on political prisoners in North Korean camps.
Michael Kirby, a former Australian High Court judge, told the UN his team had heard testimony from a man who had been imprisoned in North Korea from birth, eating lizards, rodents, and grass to survive. One woman was forced to drown her own baby in a bucket.
7. Her brother's regime has been blamed for the death of US college student Otto Warmbier.
Otto Warmbier was detained in North Korea in January 2016 after he was accused of a "hostile act" while on a group tour. Warmbier was accused of stealing a poster at his hotel in Pyongyang, and sentenced to 15 years of prison and hard labor. After being held for 17 months, he was only extradited back to the US when he was in a coma. He died soon after.
Sen. John McCain has said Warmbier was "murdered" by North Korea. "In the final year of his life, he lived the nightmare in which the North Korean people have been trapped for 70 years: forced labor, mass starvation, systematic cruelty, torture, and murder," the Arizona Republican said.
8. She's part of a country that is, quite literally, threatening nuclear war against the US.
