So...

The centre of the whole thing was a bit of software called Promise, right?

And the Promise software was a case management system for the computers for the US government.

And what it was meant to do was categorise cases that have happened so that you could... It was, like, really early days computer software, right?

So it's, like, black and green.

It looks like you're playing fucking Snake on a 3210.

It's shit.

But basically this was, like, an intelligence...

it was a bit of like software for intelligence right but the US government then sold it to like allies but they had like almost a mirror within it so they could see all their information so it was like spyware right so they were actually which is illegal obviously like you're really thinking you're selling that to your neighboring Russian country and you're just going to go and

the Russians would do it as well exactly they would right but we're all playing the same game the conspiracy theory claims that the US Department of Justice stole the software from the company that made it in the first place right so they then were trying to sue for damages and say no they just literally we gave them that software we told them the idea they've just fucking stole it

they actually owe us money so there was then a case that went into court where they won it was like 4.6 million in damages right and then see the next month they were like nah we're going to retry that case they took a different judge but the judge was like part of the what do they call that again

he was part of the administration for one of the governors at the time.

So it's almost like a pure backseat.

It's all very corrupt.

Exactly.

That's what they did because they were like, we can do whatever we want because we're the government.

Ha ha.

Who are you going to call?

Yeah, the police, exactly.

It was secretly sold to governments worldwide, blah, blah, blah.
