As Twitchy reported, the State Department seems to be buying Samira Ibrahim’s claims of being hacked. You see, she was to receive the Secretary of State’s “Women of Courage” award. The problem? Her history of foul anti-American and anti-Israel tweets, including an approving tweet about Adolf Hitler.
@AceofSpadesHQ You’ll love this. #hacked! (read the update). http://t.co/dmkdXWrVd4

The State Department said they do believe she was hacked. Serious You Guys. However, they are deferring presenting her with the award. But, why was she in line for one to begin with?
@DrewMTips it's one of those hackings that was on and off for some number of years 🙂

@forewit these tweets have gone out over a course of years, right? Is the hacker one of those on-again-off-again types?
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
That’s right. And she never deleted the supposedly “hacked” tweets. In fact, she somehow never noticed them … until asked about them.
Your government lies to your reflexively, thoughtlessly; truth is never even considered as a viable option http://t.co/NBpmSYsfYf

More from Ace of Spades, who gives the State Department the business:
Sure, #hackers always take over an account for one Tweet, cede control over it back to the user, re-#hack it weeks later, cede control again, all without the actual user ever becoming aware of the #hacking.
Literally happens ever single day.
Your Government is lying to you and will continue lying to you with every word that comes from its lying diseased organs.
Truth is never even on the list of possible options.
Repeat after us: Truth is hard for the Obama administration.
can we make this Ibrahim woman our Secretary of Defense? Like Hagel she can readily disown her past statements
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
And there is more: The State Department simply scrubbed her off of its website. Unreal. Ace and other Twitter users continue to question this absurd willing suspension of disbelief.
@nicolegaouette @EliLake @JeffreyGoldberg are these officials in the PR side of State or the Technical Analysis side, I wonder
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
Amazing how her Twitter was hacked and unhacked in july, August, and then again in September. @nicolegaouette @EliLake @JeffreyGoldberg

@AceofSpadesHQ Also, the #HACKER appears to have used her identical Twitter app to post http://t.co/h3IwGTbIeE

Wow. But, hacked, you guys! A mocking hashtag enters the fray.
by the way, any time I drop an F bomb or say something you don't like it was because of #hacked
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
those of you have unfollowed have done me a great injustice. these #hackers just periodically pop into my account to say Bad Things.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
h/t @johnekdahl, Ibrahim's #hackers are very polite and respond to criticism from Ibrahim's readers http://t.co/k1rUMSoOtf

@jackmcoldcuts yup. General #hackery.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
I call #hackery
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
And then Ace of Spades takes on the State Department brilliantly.
Please disregard this Tweet, @statedept. I have been #hacked.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
Please disregard that last Tweet, @statedept. The person saying I was #hacked was in fact a #hacker. I am real.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
Dear @statedept, that last Tweet was from the #hacker, Swearsies, please disregard it. I will append all real tweets "-real."
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
Dear @statedept, please disregard that last Tweet creating a signal for real tweets. It was crafted by the #hacker again. -real
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
URGENT: @statedept, I have TWO competing #hackers who stole my account for all previous tweets. *I* am the real person. -real
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
Dear @statedept, Man, that Hitler was really on the ball, huh? Vis-a-vis Jews I mean? -real
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
Dear @statedept, I, the original #hacker of this account, want to clarify I #hacked for LULZ but wish to condemn the pro-Hitler #hacker
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
Dear @statedept, I, the 2nd #hacker of this account, would also like to distance myself from the 3rd #hacker's noxious anti-semitism
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
Dear @statedept, our attempt at a fun #hack has been spoiled by an unethical #hacker #hacking us mid-#hack. -real
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
Minds are being blown.
@AceofSpadesHQ The tweets are coming from inside the house! @StateDept

Our heads hurt!
Ace continues to rightly give the State Department the business, with a side of hilarious.
Dear @statedept, I am pleased to report I have now driven all the #hackers out. -meforrealme
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
Dear @statedept, rumors of our exit have been greatly overstated– #hackers 1 and 2, cosigned
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
Dear @statedept, and I still am a Big Fan of the A-Man, Hitler. -the #hacker no one likes
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
.@statedept Do you believe truth counts for anything, or is it all "winning the media day" with half-baked lies that can "hold until 6pm"?
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
.@statedept will the personnel who lied to reporters about this be named and disciplined, or were they, themselves, #hacked ?
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
Have you been #hacked, @statedept? I can't imagine any other reason for your immediate rush to lie to the public.
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
@AceofSpadesHQ If possible I think you are *understating* the stupidity of this lie. It's something my 2 year old would say to avoid trouble
— RJL (@Ryan_J_Lewis) March 7, 2013
@LauraWalkerKC @StateDept thank you! Signed, #hacker 1 and 2 but not 3
— Ursus, Director of Weather and Banana Programming (@AceofSpadesHQ) March 7, 2013
Amen. We don’t need to be hacked to say it!
What say you, State Department? Hack got your tongue?
