i work at a stage lighting tech/designer. The solution to the lighting problem is simple, disconnect your control equipment (lighting consoles and such) from the internet.

How does c-span's feed get switched with a completely different company?

San Escobar doesn't exist. the polish minister of foreign affairs said he met the leader of San Escobar (he meant st kitts and Nevis) so why is there a promotion for it? this is weird...

The guy at the start reading the paper. physical body-traits like licking the lips suggest this. He was obviously an actor as well. You can tell when people are performing. He was playing the part of ''a guy about to make an important announcement about Russia.''

[THX]

I'd rather watch RT than C-span anyway.
