Well before this Snowdon figure went to Russia, I went to Transnistria. Officially part of the Republic of Moldova, but because Mr. Putin wanted to rescue the Russians living there, who by the way just declared themselves independent of Moldova, the dear president of the democratic republic sent his troops in 1992. To occupy one small part of a very small country that also is one of the poorest countries of the world.
So the Russians occupied Transnistria, where there used to be the largest armour storage of the former Soviet Union. And when I say large, I mean large. A Colonel of the OVSC calculated that when every week two 50 carriage trains would leave from Tiraspol direction Moscow it would take over 50 years to transport it all back. So the Russians decided it was easier to let it be there. They would need in in the future. And yes that was recently 30 years later. The great President planned ahead! You saw all the rusty guns served to all the new Russian soldiers? Well I bet you, the guns and the rust came from Transnistria.

But could this Snowdon figure not have figured out how bad Russia was before going there? Well he could have called me....

I went to Transnistria under very DANGEROUS conditions. A country not recognised by any other country in the world and where they had, according to their most glorious leaders, no HIV and no AIDS. And because of that the people in Transnistria, occupied by the Glorious Russian Army in all its rusty splendour, did not have condoms. The really did not need them.
So I went with as much condoms as I could find and a Russian-Moldovan friend to Transnistria. There we were considered CIA-agents. That's also why we went there. Some people of the condom smuggle organisation had been arrested before. This happened when they got condoms from an American help organisation. They were accused to be American Agents. Seeding Western ideas. Knowing all of this we decided that we would still smuggle condoms to Transnistria.

To organise this simple feat took quite some organisation. First someone came from Tiraspol in Transnistria to Chisenau in Moldova and told us to go to a bar and then just sit there. We would not speak to anyone, They would recognise us. Then they would know that we were there and had the condoms. Then we would go to a back ally at a certain time the next day. There someone would say something. And then at another place we would meet someone who would then tell were to meet. The condoms we had were free. We just gave them away. Seeding our foreign agents ideas with it.

And now imagine someone in discontent with his government's Big Brother's control habit, seeking refuge in exactly that country that is responsible for the bizar situation that I encountered in Transnistria. And this someone tells you that he had no other option than to go to Russia. Well I would have chosen Transnistria! Seeking refuge in Transnistria seems much more fun to me. Not recognised by any other country so you can't be expelled....

And while this Snowdon figure is celebrating his new home-land, spies of the Glorious Russian Army, snatched a Russian citizen from the streets of Kiev. This guy defected from Russia to the Ukrainian side. And the Glorious Russians took a sledge hammer, a smart-phone and started filming how they literally smashed the head of the defecter into some sort of a brain soup. By which point the Wagner-Group leader, a close friend to Putin and former Putin brain-soup-chef-cook said that a dog should be killed like a dog. Look this up at the BBC website. It is so drastic that it is hard to believe.

Compare this defector to the Snowdon figure. If this figure had some moral or guts, would he really stay there? He knew, like I know what kind of country he went to. And I am only an undercover agent of the condom blues. But if you tell me he can't leave, I would say he can't stay there. His fate when leaving will be much better than becoming a 'Putin's Chef Cook Specialité'.
This is a 4chan worthy LARP.

😂

Transnitrian condom smuggler LMAO!!!!!
 
Thanks for the work! To hell with Tims 'no tracking' approach! Make privacy a reality Apple ... can't believe it has to be said that you can make a Android more private than an iPhone ... sooooooooooooooooo sad.

I can't tell you to what end Apple collects data, but communication with Apple's servers (System Services) is the single largest monthly consumer of my phone's cellular data, to the tune of about 500 MB a month. It consistently dwarfs the next largest user of monthly cellular data, Safari. Drilling deeper, within System Services the largest consumers in decreasing order are Security Services, Messaging Services, DNS Services, iTunes Media Services, and iTunes Accounts (and I only listen to locally stored music, by the way).
Mine is YouTube with system services and safari being about equal. Within system services it’s software update that leads the pack. Go figure.
 
I’m feeling betrayed. I read a few comments in here about the wording in Apple’s privacy statements being accurate, etc. This is probably true, but not many read those legal documents. Most trust Cook when he says Apple safeguards it’s users data. Now we learn he is lying or telling half truths. I see a GrapheneOS phone in my future.
