Today’s hack of Colin Powell’s Facebook page was the handiwork of the same individual who illegally accessed e-mail accounts of various members of the Bush family, an intrusion that has triggered a federal criminal investigation.

The hacker, who uses the handle “Guccifer,” this morning began uploading messages on Powell’s page that disparaged George W. Bush. “You will burn in hell, Bush!,” read one post, while another addressed Powell himself as an “ass hole” who would burn in hell for crimes purportedly committed along with Bush and Rockefeller family members.

In another post, the hacker declared “Kill the illuminati! Tomorrow’s world will be a world free of illuminati or will be no more!”

After the former Secretary of State regained control of his Facebook page, he posted a message about the hack and apologized to his followers for “all the stupid, obscene posts that are popping up.” 

In addition to the messages, “Guccifer” uploaded to Powell’s Facebook page screen grabs showing his prior access of e-mail accounts of George W. Bush family members, including his siblings Neil and Dorothy.

As seen above, the screen grabs included photos of two Bush paintings that the 43rd president e-mailed to his sister in December 2012, and a photo that Neil Bush sent to his four siblings in December. The latter image showed George H.W. Bush in his bed at a Houston hospital.

In one post to Powell’s page, “Guccifer” also referenced a photo that purportedly shows George W. Bush “wearing a Ku Klux Klan hat.” The photo, taken by the ex-president, shows a painting of a cat. Bush can be seen in a reflection in a window behind the easel. His face is obscured (and possibly blurred), which the hacker concluded was the result of a white hood.

That photo was among 18 images that the hacker added to a Facebook album on Powell’s page (it was titled “GEORGE ‘DUBYA’ WALKER BUSH HACKING.” The Bush photos were branded with the handwritten “Guccifer” inscription.

In e-mails last month to TSG, “Guccifer” forwarded the “Ku Klux Klan” photo and made references to the Bush family as “puppets of the illuminati.” The hacker also mocked the criminal probe into the Bush hacks. “i can figure out the feds have a finger up their ass; haha.”  “Guccifer” added, “AND TELL THE FUCKING BASTARDS THAT…I NEVER STOP!”

In addition to the illegal Bush family incursions, “Guccifer” also recently accessed online accounts of U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski; a senior United Nations official; security contractors in Iraq; and several former FBI agents.

Meet Jeanette Ellis.

When the 52-year-old discovered a box of discarded VHS porn tapes near her South Carolina home, Ellis did what most people would do: She left them at the curb for the next garbage pickup.

Well, actually, that is not what Ellis did.

She actually went door-to-door in her Gaffney neighborhood seeking to sell the tapes to neighbors, one of whom called cops about Ellis’s unwanted solicitation.

When a Gaffney Police Department officer questioned Ellis, seen above, she explained that “she was trying to sell some porn VHS tapes.” Since she did not possess a license for such activity, Ellis was arrested for soliciting sales without a permit.

A cop seized 12 VHS tapes from Ellis, who was seeking to make some quick cash by peddling the videos for $5 apiece. She was apparently unaware that a) people no longer pay for porn; and b) nobody owns a VCR.

FEBRUARY 28--An Oklahoma woman charged with placing dozens of obscene and harassing calls to 911 gave a police emergency operator a curious rationale for her actions:

“My job is to harass you bitches,” said Regina Sanders.

The 44-year-old Sanders, seen at left, dialed the Tulsa Emergency Communications Center 59 times over an eight-hour period last year, according to a District Court criminal information.

Sanders has been charged with placing “obscene/threatening/harassing” phone calls and interfering with police emergency operators, both misdemeanors.

It is unlikely that the officer who apprehended Saunders said, “My job is to arrest you, bitch.”

A Florida man is facing a misdemeanor charge after allegedly battering a teenage relative with a Taco Bell burrito.

Police allege that Erik Brown, 36, smashed the 16-year-old boy in the face with the burrito during a February 15 domestic dispute at a Port St. Lucie residence.

The victim told cops that he was having a “verbal altercation” with his mother and Brown, his brother-in-law, when Brown “asked his mother to bring him the burrito,” according to an arrest affidavit.

Brown then allegedly threw the burrito “with force” at the victim, striking the boy in the face with the fast food item. While interviewing the teen, cops noted that he had “burrito cheese, sauce and meat all over his clothing and face.”

Brown told police that the victim was disrespectful to his mother and had cursed at the woman. He also acknowledged that he had “delivered” the burrito. After being booked into the county jail, Brown warned that he would “take care” of the teen upon his release from custody, adding that the victim “was going to get knocked out.”

According to online records, Brown, seen above, is scheduled for a March 20 arraignment in Circuit Court.

When trying to entice a publication to consider purchasing gruesome photos of the charred remains of a deranged murderer, the initial approach is crucial.

The pitch must be concise and reflect the seller’s enthusiasm to do business. Just like this:

“pictures of christopher Dorner corpus for sale!!! 3103039114.”

That unsolicited offer was sent to TSG this week by “James,” a Los Angeles man who would like to sell six post-autopsy photos of Dorner, the cop killer who was incinerated earlier this month inside a cabin in Big Bear, California.

The photos were not taken by law enforcement officers or coroner’s personnel. No, “James” snapped these treasures himself with his iPhone. He accomplished this photographic coup thanks to a friend who works for the mortuary to which Dorner’s body was released by investigators.

“James” photographed the body bag in which Dorner’s remains were placed, and made sure to get a close-up shot of a tag containing the coroner’s case number. He then opened the body bag and got the money shots of the former LAPD cop, whose body was so burned beyond recognition that he had to be identified through dental records.

Asked how much he was seeking for the photos, “James” did not want to commit to a price, though he noted, “They’re worth a lot to me.”

Sadly--for “James,” at least--he has had difficulty locating a buyer. Two leading practitioners of checkbook journalism, the National Enquirer and the gossip web site TMZ, took a pass on the unsettling pictures. The supermarket tabloid Globe has been noncommittal.

“James” acknowledged that the sale of the Dorner photos was tricky since, “A lot of people can’t stomach this stuff.” Asked if he was trying to cash in on a spree killer’s notoriety, "James" replied, “It is what it is. What can I do?”
