Well, maybe not “admirer,” unless you’re thinking of the strict definition of “watcher.” And perhaps “secret” isn’t quite the right word, either. Anonymous would be more accurate.
Marjorie Taylor Greene has had a busy 24 or so. Not long ago, she was speaking “in” [sic] the floor of the House to an audience of none on what she called America’s “crisis.” (No details here, I’m afraid; you couldn’t pay me to listen to that person, though I can confirm she was wearing either a reject from Stevie Nicks’ closet or Jerry Seinfeld’s puffy shirt.)
Yesterday, she decided to take her impressive, double-digit IQ on parade, responding to a dry observation by Bill Kristol with a withering tweet that surely had the dinocon crying in his chardonnay:
I tell you what pumpkin.
How about you suit up and report to your commander and chief yourself and tell him your reporting for duty.
You might want to train a little first, the only thing in shape on you and prepared for war is your little Twitter thumbs.
Ouch! That’s gonna leave a mark. In red pencil. Her fellow Republican Adam Kinzinger was kind enough to don the green eyeshade and grade the paper:
Still, Kinzinger’s markup was not the most notable response to her attempted Kristol-smashing. That came from a very unexpected source.
Russian asset Marjorie Taylor Greene will go down in history as one of the dumbest politicians ever. History will not be kind to you, nor will we.#Anonymous
Now, many here harbor a healthy skepticism of Anonymous and all its outgrowths, but it can’t be denied that someone claiming that handle has been doing some heavy cyberlifting since Russian dictator Vladimir Putin went all handless pie-eating contest on Ukraine.
Whether it’s antiwar messages posted on state media, livestreams from security cams in Russia or today’s dump of 79 gigs of proprietary data leaked from the R&D unit of Russia's state owned pipeline company (with a hat tip to Hillary Clinton, of all people), hackers under the Anonymous banner have proved that, far from being yesterday’s news, they are a formidable force on today’s modern, hybrid battlefield.
So much so that, whether or not I had secrets to conceal, I would not be the world’s soundest sleeper on a day when they informed me that, “History will not be kind to you, nor will we.”
Then again, I’ve been known to have the occasional lick of sense. Rep. Greene is likely asking aides why a 12-step organization is tweeting at her.
Again, watch this space.
