quote:
After a temporary job reviewing orders at a ladies' lingerie maker came to an end in February, he dispensed with looking for another so that he could devote himself to blogging full-time. His wife admits she does not read his blog and yearns for a time that he will return to "a real job." But as Higgins sees it, he is consumed with the realest job of all, sifting through a digital goldmine disdained by those who lack the patience for the work.

quote:
Born in 1979 to a Royal Air Force engineer and a caterer, Higgins describes himself as an avid gardener and budding cook, but his core passions have always centered on a fascination with screens: During his schooling years, he engaged in marathon sessions playing video games and argued ceaselessly on Internet forums. These two pursuits trumped his attention to schoolwork, filling his report cards with Cs.

Throughout his life, Higgins has taken hobbies to illogical extremes. After his brother introduced him to the iconoclastic rockstar Frank Zappa, Higgins rushed out to buy all of his four-dozen albums. As a video gamer, Higgins pressed well past casual bouts of "World of Warcraft," staying up late to lead teams of 40 players in complex online raids. Even now, he feels compelled to systematically beat each new video game before he can start another, in this fashion gradually making his way through strategy and role-playing games like "Fallout," "Baldur's Gate," "Total War: Rome II" and "Command and Conquer." Before getting married, he was known to game for 36 hours at a stretch.

quote:
After dropping out of university midway through a media studies degree, Higgins moved through a series of jobs with no relation to munitions, Syria or blogging. He worked as a data entry clerk at Barclays bank and then managed invoices for a process management firm. When that task was outsourced overseas, he helped asylum seekers find housing. His next, and most recent, job was working on women's undergarments.

The F-14s were not there and it was almost certainly Iranian infowar to briefly make US commanders on the ground poo poo their pants about possible airstrikes on the airfields the missiles had just rendered inoperable

The message being 'if this were real you'd be hosed right now lol'

Less than their targets which is just not how things are supposed to be done!

yeah the NATO and CIA funding is iffy, and being involved in promoting the bana alabed thing alone makes you a child abuser, but add in *colluding with the opcw to falsify evidence and escalate a war* and we have an extremely dangerous individual.

They build their own missiles and don't have a military sector run entirely on funnelling profits to lockmart or whoever so probably a bit lower

nigel thornberry: Jul 29, 2013

Iran�s military is probably much stronger then everyone thinks simply because it is designed to actually be a capable fighting force, and not just as a means of funneling money to defense industry shareholders

anyway, I popped into the D&D Middle East thread and BM and a group of his sycophants are all very seriously analyzing pictures of debris from the Iranian plane crash lol

other than killing 200 civilians accidentally, the missile strike worked out nearly as planned for the iranians

By the US. It just seems ridiculous to escalate like they did, obviously seeking to provoke a response, and then respond with this.
