UPI News Twitter Hacked ~ Hoax News

[special-k]

Heads up... You'll probably be hearing more about this:

The twitter account of UPI appears to have been taken over by someone or some group interested in sending shock waves across the Internet.

As of this posting, no other news organization and no government entity is corroborating the content of the twitter messages in the UPI feed — messages dealing with a supposed Chinese attack on the U.S. aircraft carrier George Washington, as well as what was claimed to be an extraordinary move by the Federal Reserve.

You can see screen grabs of the suspect tweets below. Again, please keep in mind that there is no real-world evidence to suggest that these are accurate or that they actually come from UPI itself.

Is it all govt to get us used to the idea, to give them a couple more hours.

What Nemo said.... 

Seems like a pre-emp to encourage us not to believe what may be the truth being revealed.

If that is the case Nemo (Not saying it isn't) we are dealing with an eminent event.

Let me shift gears here...The internet and current person to person communication must be one big ass headache for .gov. Just think how long it took for the general populous to hear about The Attack on Pearl Harbor? Then to get the whole story out to the general populous.

The attack probably a couple of hours. But to get all of the details 5-7 days and delivered via radio and a newspaper.

Today - Minutes. And then a couple of hours to get all of the gory details. Let's look to the drama that just played out in France.

Well, we are all here and no turdage is airborne in S. Ga so it must have been accurate.
