Max Headroom WTTV Incident still Unsolved

Decades later, and they still haven't caught the guy who intercepted public television with his own program.

What was he trying to say, Sup Forums? Was it a prophecy for the future? Is he /ourguy/ for the greatest troll in history? Or was it just advanced shitposting?

Why are people amazed it's still unsolved as if there's some task force that has been working around the clock for decades trying to catch these guys

I'll give you a bump. Always wondered about this myself. I love studying TV hijackings.

>would you, could you on a train?

Shouldn't there be, though? I mean, who's ever been able to do something like this before? It's a massive breach of security. It's like, movie-tier shit.

It was a lot easier to hack into cable networks back then because it was equivalent to like usenet at the time. Only a few nerds and richfags had access to the tech.

What a retarded slide thread. Are you even trying anymore, CIA niggers?

Some user posted a credible-sounding explanation for it years ago - some techie aspie guy and his brother that user knew. I don't know if there's a capture of it around anywhere.

They probably got ahold of a powerful transmitter and jammed the signal. It's not like trying to hack into john podesta's gmail account or something.

People did stuff like this in the 80's.
I remember watching a Rambo movie that was still out in the theaters in the 80's on cable TV after the broadcast was hijacked.
It was definitely a hijack, there was a short message explaining that at the beginning then the movie played.
I thought it would be a huge deal but it was basically ignored.

I'm waiting for the day Kikebook gets hijacked and all of America logs in to see what new cat pics there grandmother posted and gets a nigger hate thread or trap porn instead.

>frick'n liberals.
Goddamn the 1980's were based. Where everyone who was a liberal was on the same level as fucking red commies or Alex Keatons faggot dad

>Is he /ourguy/

Yes.

When your password is runner123 it really isn't that hard desu

We are talking about analog signals from the 80s. This isn't even a thing anymore. Not the first signal intrusion either.

it was a local PBS affiliate, not like they hacked a telcom satellite or something. however it was done, that hole was closed. who cares who did it?

user did it

you're welcome retard

and this was in chicago even.

watching the footage and reading about this, makes my skin crawl. call me a pussy, but i got so creeped out by it
>t. didn’t watch it live

>massive beach of security

user there was no security back then. Security evolves over time as a consequence of system breaches.

it wasnt that

it was a warm up run for putin

This shit creeped me out big time. Just when I wanted to go to sleep. I don't think I will be sleeping any more.

If I were the CIA, wouldn't I not know the current lingo of this site? But I do. I know all the mamas.

Say, how about that white supremacy, eh? Have any dunk mamas you'd like to share? Images, pasta, videos, names, addresses?

Here, I have made my own mama. Please rate, share, and subscribe.

frickin liberalllllllll

yeah it was lol, his twatter was even easier

?

It has been explained though. It was some autistic dude and his girlfriend. They overpowered the signal. The background was corrugated metal sheet on a rotating turntable. They were socially autistic crew that did this stuff as a hobby.

>They were socially autistic crew that did this stuff as a hobby.

So you're saying they were /ourguys/

>greatest troll in history
Try Aristotle my nig

Pretty sure that is brown-hair Romana. Why these British degenerates couldn't bring her back for a spin-off show for "le strong female timelord lead" instead of making Dr. Who a gender-fluid nightmare is beyond me. I'm glad we dumped your tea and made arses out of ourselves years ago.

Hey him glad you could join us tonight

Hey Jim glad you could join us tonight

That's not barrelman

>wouldn't I not know

Who cares. It literally was just a prank bron and the technology is outdated now.

>makes my skin crawl. call me a pussy
Why would this make your skin crawl, pussy.
This is the same kinda shit as a bunch of autists triangulating a flag in a field using star charts and a car horns

Looks like Chuck Barris mannerisms if he was still alive then.

I do not know what you mean. Say, would you like to join the Nazi Party?

[/SecretBlackBars/Yeah, sucks we have to work late. Pub after work?/SecretBlackBars/]

no because Sup Forums is just American Hicks these days

more like Sup Forums and Sup Forums

They did get Captain Midnight.

$12.95 a month was and still is too much for HBO.

He has done it again on Direct TV in 2013 and 2014.

I've been fucked over too many times to join a group again. Sorry m8.

It's like the DB Cooper of pirated television. It seems like he was under the influence of mushrooms or some other intoxicant or psychedelic.

That one still gives me chills. It's pretty obvious what it was about, and I don't think we'll ever hear about who did it.

I just noticed that DB Cooper was their headline in the article that's twisted.

The guy posts on youtube, or at least a guy claiming to be him does

and he was so right

What a fucking gay-ass name for a website.

>trusting plebbit larpers

For some reason, what cracks me up most of all is the Doctor Who was the program he interrupted. I haven't seen that episode in easily 30 years but I recognized it immediately.

The question is, was it a trigger or a warning? Either way, what was the purpose behind it?

youtube.com/watch?v=_Ip8gspFaH8

Have you seen the incident about an alleged prankster revealing secrets about a US military base on air? The satellite signal was shut off randomly by an unknown source before anything was revealed. I thought it was very eerie how someone or something must’ve been observing the conversation the entire time.

Jimbo!

pull up a chair

>It's a massive breach of security
They interrupted a Dr.Who episode for 90 seconds. hardly a major concern.

Bet you think CBTS is gonna break any day now too

ur post really made me think

There was a concern because of how it was done. They fixed how it was done. Why would they care about who did it?

>Decades later, and they still haven't caught the guy who intercepted public television with his own program.

Because decades later, evidence for this that can be used in court will still exist, right? This happened in the 80's, before everything and everyone was being recorded 24/7/365.25.

Besides, if this was a crime hasn't it gone beyond the statute of limitations for prosecution by now?

You mean the Art Bell area 51 caller?

There is something creepy and uncanny valley about it, don't let anybody give you shit over it. The footage still makes me uncomfortable. I keep expecting him to address me by name and tell me the date I'm going to die on...

That's strange, What was the hijacking? You mean after it they stated they had been hijacked?

chicagoland and even the city itself has always had the most staunchest conservative edgelords in the country, we're just subsumed by millions of endlessly breeding niggers, mexicans, and third worlders that the DHS shovels in here to make our voices drowned out by the hordes of guaranteed democrat voting orcs
many high level Sup Forumslacks reside in the area
ground zero for the battle between the left and the right is right here

Yeah that’s the one, I just find it strange how the satellite shut off during the alleged prank. It seems too coincidental and strange even after the so called prankster admitted that it was all just a hoax.

I don't understand why people find it disturbing; the hacker was just pulling a weird prank on his local community. It's not like he was revealing secrets, he was just wearing a rubber Max Headroom mask, making jokes about constipation and liberals, and getting spanked with a spatula.

Max Headroom was a great show, though... very prophetic sci-fi.

You won't because it was probably a foreign government who did it

>Decades later, and they still haven't caught the guy

Who is "they"? "They" *are* the guy, stupid.

Gonna need more info and video anons, this is too interesting

>It's not like trying to hack into john podesta's gmail account or something.

It's no surprise. The US was 80%+ white and 70%+ protestant. and the vast majority of white people are/were Republicans.

The only reason leftism was allowed to fester back into the mainstream was niggers, spics, and asians flooding in and destroying the demographics.

Imagine what pariahs Hillary and Bernie supporters would be if the country maintained those demographics.

(Trick scenario: They never would have even held public office. The Democratic Party would be dead and replaced. The four major parties would be Republican, Reform, Southern Christian, and Libertarian.)

Based Diogenes. I also need the pic.

Busted my fuckin sides lol

See

I was interested as well and I read about it on some other boards. Apparently the prevailing theory is that the “government” might’ve activated some kind of kill switch and cut a man off air before he revealed secrets about “Area 51”. In the recording he describes a secret plan to eliminate and replace the human population. Someone else linked me this creepy video on YouTube that shows it’s been taken down for some unknown reason...looks like I won’t be sleeping tonight.

White voters in Minnesota and Iowa voted for Trump. Lol he won Iowa. DELET this map. Oh BTW 29% of White Suburbanites are under 20.

Hillary wouldn’t be a pariah. Besides for 1972’ and 1984’ and until 2012 46% Of White Americans voters voted Democrat. Bernie maybe

That's a good mask on that guy, pretty convincing

Implying

So basically pol has niggerfags that come into every single post and say "FUCK YOU THIS POST SUCKS POL SUCKS BECAUSE OF THIS".
Get the gas.

These are the kinds of topics that get you put on a list

bump

...

Or the Rani, another female Time Lord from the Classic series that every soyboy fan of the new series doesn't even know exists.
The return of Doctor Who was when I really first started to detect the "infect everything with Marxist bullshit" trend. Been a long decade.

>doesn't think anyone here is already on a list

What if your mind worked like a television set? What if you could tune into programs at will?

Join me, perhaps you will be able to solve this mystery.

>TFW me and my dad used to listen to art bell at night, but we missed this fiasco....

It was probably the Russians.

Don't worry, CIA niggers glow in the dark

This
Ive been unemployed for over four months now and I've been busting my ass putting in resumes, I think I'm fucked

God damn it, now I'll be humming that theme song all night!

Fucking eh leaf, good taste bud

Thank you, my good sir.

it was hoax, the guy was a regular caller to the show and called back afterwards

That was based on pre-election polling in 2016. The actual account obviously was even in higher favor for Trump (MN, WI, and IA).

Sorry your state (whichever of the 3 it is) is full of idiot cuckold whites historically voting Democratic.

1) Back then the spics, north africans, and arabs they consider "white" were an insignificant part of the population compared to the 90's and beyond.

2) The Democratic Party was decimated by the early 90's. The only thing that kept it alive was Ross Perot splitting the vote and good ole boys voting Democratic like their dixiecrat daddies. After that Bill Clinton was able to set up the machine to ensure democrats kept power via mass immigration and systems to commit voter fraud in cities.

3) Even 54%-46% would mean constant landslides in elections. And those Democrats were further to the right than modern Republicans.

: ) We are the collective diogenes of our era

>the greatest troll in history?

he is what most represents Sup Forums. A chaos that with a message, in the way that the chaos that is Sup Forums does have a message for what ideas can become. I'm not sure where I'm going with this but some of you may be able to understand what I mean.

looks like a child hitting him.
>my brother has the other one.
Its John and Tony Podesta. Mystery solved.

Your own link says there was another signal intrusion event 18 months earlier
