“The attack against Samsung smart TVs was developed in cooperation with the United Kingdom’s MI5/BTSS. After infestation, Weeping Angel places the target TV in a ‘Fake-Off’ mode, so that the owner falsely believes the TV is off when it is on. In ‘Fake-Off’ mode the TV operates as a bug, recording conversations in the room and sending them over the Internet to a covert CIA server.” — Vault 7 documents

Even the UK is full of fucking nerds.

Where do you think all these nerds end up when they grow up? They get big boy jobs working in tech (private or public in this case)

Remember when people bullied Palmer Luckey from his job at Facebook?
He's now building AI, drones and surveillance systems with a new company named after a sword in Lord of the Rings.

In the future the chads will be bio batteries.
The nerds have all the power now and they're slowly starting to realize that.

Remember when people bullied Palmer Luckey from his job at Facebook?

He was bullied back in 2015 by Time magazine.

Then he helped the Trump campaign by funding Reddit trolls and was harassed by the MSM when they found out. Facebook fired him.

After Facebook he decided to start working on military tech instead.
Had the media not harassed him over his political views, Luckey would probably be creating some sort of chat app for Facebook or whatever.

Now the kid that once funded Reddit trolls to create memes against Clinton is on course to supply and control state of the art defense and AI systems.
