Can Dennis Rodman explain?

I'm starting to think it was a publicity stunt gone awry. Rogaine and Sony knew it was a dog turd from the getgo (well, maybe not Rogen, the narcissitic fuck) and wanted to get some attention. Maybe make it popular just for being so shitty. So they set up a hack. Make a little noise.

.Gov, always looking for a pretext to aggression, gets involved. They know it's bullshit, but hey, never let a crisis go to waste. Especially if they can cockblock Putin from running a gas pipeline to South Korea via NK.

Just my delusion for the day.

i heard there was originally an email just asking for money, later the media started talking about korea then the hacktivists copied the media.

apparently the email was sent from a cafe in thailand.

"allegedly! there's as much real evidence it was korea as there was for WMD

whatever it shows sony in a bad light if they can't protect their systems for a second time.

Oh the economy outside is frightful
But my 80 inch Big Screen is so delightful
And since our economy’s got no place to go
Let It Blow! Let It Blow! Let It Blow!!

Oh, the collapse doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've brought some credit card debt for popping
My Obamaphones are turned way down low
Let It Blow! Let It Blow! Let It Blow!

When we finally kiss our economy goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if Obama really tells me everything’s alright
All the way home I'll be warm

The economy is slowly dying
And my dear we're still denying
But as long as you love me so
Let It Blow! Let It Blow! Let It Blow!

Oh, it doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've brought some student loan debt for popping
Since my Obamaphones are turned way down low
Let It Blow! Let It Blow! Let It Blow!

When we finally kiss our economy goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if Obama really tells me everything’s alright

Jack, When they made obesity an official “disease” that must be covered by insurers, I almost puked. Cost shifting all the obesity problems – stoke, diabetes, heart attack, amputations, bariatric surgery, etc – onto the average American for other people’s unaccountability once again. So my insurance premium goes up because Joe can't control his hunger ... down the block eating too many donuts ... or fatty beef ... or whatever. No reason I should have to subsidize his life style choice.

However, watch it until the end, it'll make you think. File it under Sci-Fi as well. Pretty good, 4 stars mearly for an original idea. Seriously, give it a watch.

In this stupid scam film the See Eye Aye tries to get them to kill Kim Jong Il or whoever.   They are always a topic in these movies.  My guess is most of these films are financially backed by MIC/See Eye Aye.

North Korea... A country with barely any access to competent communications technology let alone the Internet is responsible for staging a massive cyber attack on a multinational electronics company? The story is a massive pile of steaming dogturd, without any details on the nature of the actual cyber-attack, or the fact that we've already produced a movie, "Team America World Police" mocking the now dead 'Dear Leader' without any incident. There only seems to be details on what .gov response should be, and media propaganda painting corporations into a positive light because they're concerned for the safety of citizens.

The number one thing to consider about North Korea supposedly hacking Sony is: When in the past, say 15 years, has North Korea done anything quietly? They always bellow, scream and threaten wildly and loudly.

That is strangely absent here.

I think that it is just a Zionist scam to undermine, possibly bankrupt, the Sony studios in the DC US, and then snap them up cheaply out from under the noses of the Chinese. What better than to blame Japan's arch nemesis, North Korea, and then linky-winkly them to Japan's other rival, the Chinese.

I don't know if it's true, but then I haven't been able to get a hold of Robbie Parker for his take.

Well, if someonde drops or triggers* The Big One in USSA, they can now blame NK, retaliate, and usher in some Global Gov.

If you believe that sort of stuff.  Of course, all you have to do is read or study the Renaissance and read its literature (e.g. The Prince, by Machiavelli), to be shocked & awed by the ambition, duplicity, deceit and treachery of the Ruling Elite (in politics, banking and clergy) in their daily and political lives, to realize that their descendants today have centuries of group/tribal knowledge to draw upon.

Us 'Commoners' have got nothing on these guys: In comparison to them, our versions are one or two-move ahead chess games, Poker 101, and Disorganized crime.  No wonder that 2% can rule over 98% -- especially when machines amplify physical power, computers amplify brain power, and networks amplify police power.

It was so easy to pin this on North Korea that they did. NK gains nothing out of this, but Sony's competitors gain everything, including the highly coveted rights to spiderman. Inside job or mossad, who would love to help hollywood out because it contributes to the grand plan.

Notice the flurry of press blaming NK very early on? Notice Obozo hopping on the bandwagon without the FBI having decent evidence? The dirty tactics the media and govt employ together have become so obvious that these guys must have a published playbook by now.

Even ZH'ers seemed fooled, and thats scary. Remember, out of the biggest movie production companies, sony is the only goy.
