I've been following political developments there over the last 24-36 hours. It appears that the election results weren't just stolen, they were entirely fabricated: that is, nobody even bothered to count ballots, they just made the numbers up. The results of this completely-obvious fraud have been what you might expect: protests, arrests, riots, disinformation, violent clashes, cut-offs of telecommunications, etc. I rather suspect we'll see either (a) a pervasive totalitarian crackdown and imposition of martial law combined with severe restrictions on telecom or (b) a revolution. Maybe both. ---Rsk _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
