#125 - https://boxd.it/Gwdk #2025MovieMarathon #Cinemastodon #Drama #Action #Spies #Assassins #Movies #Huh? Lots going on but not sure why.

The #CIA, once labeling #Signal as the ultimate bad guy app, now installs it like it's the new Minesweeper . Who knew #spies were so keen on encrypted emojis? Maybe next they'll start advocating for #TikTok for top-secret dance challenges!

O Observador publicou uma reportagem acerca do novo podcast dedicado a #JorgeJardim, "o misterioso engenheiro que era um agente secreto e quis fundar um país".

Pedro Aires Oliveira é um dos historiadores usados como fonte e explica, por exemplo, que "Jardim era um homem extremamente desembaraçado, gostava de viajar, de conhecer pessoas, de fazer contactos e ele torna-se realmente os olhos e os ouvidos de Salazar (...)".

"But...her emails." Not only is the Signalgate scandal likely real, but I bet it's the tip of the iceberg as far as them using "convenient" non-secure communications. After all, they're busy, busy, busy people; no time to go to a secure room and use a government secure classified computer to chat about war plans. Much easier to use the old familiar android or iphone they have in their pocket...maybe one made in China.

Everybody says, The Signal text was a hoax, perpetrated by Russia, just to see if anybody is paying attention. I guess they found out, didn't they? And it sure seems the answer is nobody in the regime is paying attention.

She is a historian of spies & 17th century!

The women spies who fooled the Nazis with simple tricks.

During the second world war, the Special Operations Executive (SOE) was a British agency tasked with training spies to conduct espionage, sabotage and reconnaissance.

SOE was a pioneering British secret service because it employed civilians, from all backgrounds, including women, which was unusual at a time where most spies were recruited from the army.

This is all you need to know about the #EpsteinFiles according to #PamBondi, and it's a shame. https://youtu.be/Rr-SpKlNHUk
She didn't publish names on the #EpsteinList nor evidence how deep #LeslieWexner is involved in this honeypot operation by @israel

That's why it's funny if #IanCarroll is calling out #USpresidents like #JimmyCarter, #BillClinton or #HillaryClinton, #CIA, #EhudBarak, #RobertMaxwell, #Rothschild, #Belfour, #artStudents, #spies & #terrorists, #Lehi, #Irgun, #Haganah, #WTC and the high5ers aka #dancingIsraelis...

Former #KGB officers say #Trump was recruited & cultivated as an asset in the years prior to his 2016 US election victory
