It's working for me in Chrome with uBlock on.

the tldr is that Americans (former officials, former NSA hackers) built an offensive hacking unit for the UAE that is now targeting other governments and activists in the region. Women's rights activists in Saudi Arabia and journalists and such.

It sounds like the Americans eventually did all the work except the cinematic final return key press to start execution of a program for many of the operations as they could not train enough UAE employees to do the work.
