Robert Hanssen croaks

[Kurt]

When I started installing Linux on an old 486 to teach myself Unix Administration there was a problem with the printer drivers where the printers would "Step"

this is stepping
this is stepping
this is stepping

So I went on usenet for help and everyone there was great.
Later I found out that one reason it was great was that Robert Hanssen was always deleted by mods for being an asshole to newbies.
When he had a problem he was as polite as could be. When someone else had a problem he was a jerk who was very insulting.

Basically usenet mods probably helped my career today by getting rid of trolls like Hanssen.

What was really funny about Hanssen was that the Soviets had one of their best intel assets ever but the one they were most excited about at the time was David Rockefeller's piano tuner. According to the Mitrotkhin archives they loved that useless piano tuner though he gave them nothing. They assumed they were going to be privy to Capitalist Five Year Plans and then be able to thwart them.
Meanwhile Hanssen had the inside scoop on counter-intelligence within the US but the KGB considered ghosting Hanssen (Perhaps because he was an asshole to them too)

Anyway, here is a write up from an expert, David Aaron, a former DOJ / CES prosecutor with a lot of experience in Classified Information Procedures Act.

This article will be relevant in the coming years. I am sure other NATO countries have something similar as well.

Dude dying in prison instead of getting disappeared before any sort of trial. So much for the deep-state. Bet they still made him sing.

Funny you should say that.

I took over an old right wing domain name last year and I have been taking over accounts that used that domain's email in various groups. It was an old Tea Party era one filled with really old people. Like "STOP SOCIALISM NOW" followed by "Here is my GiveSendGo so I can pay the co-pay on this mobility scooter I want"

Anyway, today's Fear Hype is "BIDEN ADMIN WILL START ASSASSINATING WHISTLE BLOWERS"

This is because the whistle blowers refused to testify under oath stating they were scared of the "Biden Crime Family"

So it will be funny and forgotten when the whistle blowers are not murdered by Joe Biden.
