Interesting how Akita is mentioned here in relation to North Korea's missile tests. https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/...s-what-may-be-intercontinental-missile-yonhap
In case you hadn't heard..... Wikileaks Unveils 'Vault 7': "The Largest Ever Publication Of Confidential CIA Documents"; Another Snowden Emerges A total of 8,761 documents have been published as part of ‘Year Zero’, the first in a series of leaks the whistleblower organization has dubbed ‘Vault 7.’ WikiLeaks said that ‘Year Zero’ revealed details of the CIA’s “global covert hacking program,” including “weaponized exploits” used against company products including “Apple's iPhone, Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows and even Samsung TVs, which are turned into covert microphones.” WikiLeaks tweeted the leak, which it claims came from a network inside the CIA’s Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virginia. Among the more notable disclosures which, if confirmed, "would rock the technology world", the CIA had managed to bypass encryption on popular phone and messaging services such as Signal, WhatsApp and Telegram.According to the statement from WikiLeaks, government hackers can penetrate Android phones and collect “audio and message traffic before encryption is applied.” Another profound revelation is that the CIA can engage in "false flag" cyberattacks which portray Russia as the assailant. Discussing the CIA's Remote Devices Branch's UMBRAGE group, Wikileaks' source notes that it "collects and maintains a substantial library of attack techniques 'stolen' from malware produced in other states including the Russian Federation. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-03-07/wikileaks-hold-press-conference-vault-7-release-8am-eastern
Can you make any sense out of that? I can't. I have one of those Samsung TV sets that can be connected to the internet but I never bothered setting up the connection because it was too complicated. I'm seriously considering getting rid of my smartphone and going back to an old fashioned phone for calls and text messages because I don't use the phone for anything else. Do you think that the CIA has been spying on Trump via his TV set? The headline says that there's another Snowden but none of the TV news reports that I watched has said whether the information came from a whistle blower or from Russian hackers.
Here's a bit about the "source" to WikiLeaks: Recently, the CIA lost control of the majority of its hacking arsenal including malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized "zero day" exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation. This extraordinary collection, which amounts to more than several hundred million lines of code, gives its possessor the entire hacking capacity of the CIA. The archive appears to have been circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, one of whom has provided WikiLeaks with portions of the archive. .....In a statement to WikiLeaks the source details policy questions that they say urgently need to be debated in public, including whether the CIA's hacking capabilities exceed its mandated powers and the problem of public oversight of the agency. The source wishes to initiate a public debate about the security, creation, use, proliferation and democratic control of cyberweapons. https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/
Hacker Kim Dotcom on Wikileaks CIA Documents: Donald Trump Was Spied on 24-7 with His Phone Wikileaks released thousands of documents Tuesday exposing the Central Intelligence Agency. The documents and files exposed tools the CIA used to hack cellphones, TVs and computers. The first trove of documents also imply Donald Trump was spied on with these CIA tools. After the release today noted hacker Kim Dotcom said President Trump would “totally go ballistic” if he knew what the Obama CIA did watching and listening to him 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/201...-cia-documents-donald-trump-spied-24-7-phone/
I'd recommend any of the old Nokias. Practically indestructible. I have used the same one for years. Mine even has the luxury of a camera.
Remember this all has to happen, so when the antichrist appears he will have power of the world. Prayer and asking the Lord for guidance through his spirit in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Just skimming through that document, it's downright scary. The hypocrites were targeting political parties in France in the lead up to the 2012 Presidential election. And the embassy in Germany was a hub for hackers. It would be funny if it weren't so serious. For the past few weeks, the media in Europe have been making hysterical claims about Russia influencing the US elections and doing the same in the upcoming elections in Europe. I think they were even talking about banning RT from broadcasting in Europe! The more recent news coverage has Sky News blaming the Russians and saying that the leak is designed to tarnish the CIA to take the heat off Trump. BBC are going with a Snowden type whistle blower. They interviewed a former head of the CIA named Hayden who claimed that because the CIA has to recruit millennials they are recruiting young people who won't necessarily have the same view of patriotism as the people recruiting them. The BBC, of course, couldn't pass up an opportunity to have someone make a negative comment about Trump. They asked Hayden whether he thought the Trump administration was capable of dealing with an enemy threat from, say, North Korea and Hayden said that he didn't think so. They said that there are literally thousands of people in the US with top security clearance. It won't be long before other countries have the same capability if they don't have it already. It appears to have escaped the notice of the BBC and Mr. Hayden that Trump is probably one of very few people in Washington who can't be blamed for employing people who are willing to pass on information crucial to the country's security.
I only bought a smartphone when my old nokia fell to pieces after I had dropped it one time too many. Replacing the smartphone with another Nokia is now on my list of priorities. This information is giving us an insight into how the prophecy about not being able to buy or sell will come to pass. Pity I didn't wait a couple of years before replacing my TV. I expect that Samsungs will be selling at knockdown prices after this.
I think Mr. Hayden is another one running fast to attempt to put out the new fires of exposure. Seems all the human manufactured little universes are imploding and it will expose the entire world's desired systematized control. That will more than likely jump start the creation of chaos and competition for control by various nations....IOW, get it before the other guy does, at any cost.
My theory is, we should be asking the Lord to prepare us to do without anything considering technology.
I don't know if this is a "sign" but it sure has a symbolic feel to it... 'It's heartbreaking': Malta's famous Azure Window collapses into sea The landmark - which appeared in Game Of Thrones - has been completely destroyed by heavy storms. 19:18, UK,Wednesday 08 March 2017 Image Caption:Malta's famous Azure Window, on the Maltese island of Gozo, has collapsed By Bethany Minelle, News Reporter The Azure Window - one of Malta's most famous landmarks - has been completely destroyed by heavy storms. The 50-metre-high limestone arch on the island of Gozo, in Dwejra Bay, attracted thousands of tourists a year. Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat tweeted: "Reports commissioned over the years indicated that this landmark would be hard hit by unavoidable natural corrosion. That sad day arrived." Image Caption:The Maltese PM tweeted a photo showing the view, minus the landmark In a further tweet, posted with a photo showing the new view, he wrote: "The site from where one could admire it - Tieqa tad-Dwejra. Heartbreaking." One Gozo resident who witnessed the storm described the arch collapsing into the sea "with a loud whoomph, throwing up a huge spray". Formed millions of years ago, when two limestone sea caves collapsed to form the arch, there is now no visible rock left above sea level. A geological study in 2013 concluded that while natural erosion was inevitable, the formation was not in imminent danger of collapsing. It had been believed that it would survive for decades to come. Image Caption:Tourists walk near the Azure Window prior to the collapse The environment minister for Malta tweeted: "With sadness we note that the Azure Window has collapsed. We shall brief public in coming hours. Our work on management plan will continue." The precarious arch had been popular with cliff divers and thrill-seeking tourists keen to film themselves jumping from the bridge. Wear and tear from human erosion had prompted a recent ban on walking over the bridge, with a penalty fine of more than £1,000. As well as being photographed by tourists from around the world, the geological wonder had appeared in several films including Clash Of The Titans (1981) and The Count Of Monte Cristo (2002), as well as first season of Game of Thrones.
Yes, over 60 various elections in countries all over the globe. As well, if you really dig into the capabilities of the malware and security holes they have exploited they can take control of pretty much any device from phones and newer cars to airplanes. I retired from working in IT and I could do this with PC's back in the 90's. The tools these days are much better. Hayden's comments are interesting in light of the fact that of the security clearances in the US the data for the applications of those clearances was stolen under the Obama administration. If you are not familiar with these they include information about your relatives, where you live, they live, phone numbers, history of residences. It is very inclusive and a huge threat to anyone who has a relative with a security clearance. Remember Malasian Airlines flight 370? Coincidence? http://www.express.co.uk/news/world...-ELECTRONIC-WARFARE-and-radar-defence-company Malaysian plane: 20 passengers worked for ELECTRONIC WARFARE and MILITARY RADAR firm A US technology company which had 20 senior staff on board Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 had just launched a new electronic warfare gadget for military radar systems in the days before the Boeing 777 went missing.
It is mind boggling and frightening at the same time. All very well saying that the current or potential leaders of the US would never abuse these capabilities but nobody can vouch for future leaders. Also, someone on the British news said that 80,000 (yes, eighty thousand!) people have top class security clearance. How on earth could they have expected to prevent this from being passed on or sold to unfriendly countries or terrorist groups? And the media are treating it as no big deal. Spying and invasion of privacy is so commonplace that it has become acceptable. One of my family actually remarked today "So what. They aren't interested in the likes of us. Just don't get undressed near a TV in the future". She thought it was funny. The news channels are saying that it's no big deal because tech companies gather people's data all the time. What I don't understand is how they can use this technology to spy on other world leaders but they can't use it to pinpoint the whereabouts of terrorist leaders and gather enough information to foil their plots and destroy their networks, especially their financial backers. I didn't know there were conspiracy theories concerning the Malaysian plane.
Many many people have Top Secret clearances but they are entitled to only a limited amount of info within their individual clearance. Like when Gen Petraeus confided his own Top Secret info to his paramour of the moment....she also had a Top Secret clearance but not for that particular info handed over to her. It's those who work in crypto services or those who are entitled to see masses of info that pass by their ears or eyes for supposed interpretation, etc. who seem more and more willing to go beyond the restrictions to display parts or portions in so many various social type media. They're undisciplined and unethical and probably "bored". And many have been educated in our rationalized edu. institutions with squishy ethics teachings. Like a guy who had info on an ex and released it on some social media just for personal revenge and because he could with such power. And now we're seeing such types doing leaks for political reasons based on hatred and revenge for what didn't go their way. Meanwhile huge numbers of people who legitimately had Top Secret clearances had their own personal information including of families hacked. It's out of control now it would appear. Meanwhile Russia's own intelligence warned Obama about the info they had on the Sarnov brothers both before they flew to the known terrorist training ground and back to the U.S. They went completely unwatched because there was as yet no info of past involvement. So what's the use of it all. Obama used various Gov. agencies of power for his own purposes and "played" with wiretapping et al. He could care less what could be gathered on terrorists themselves since he gave oodles of taxpayers' money to terrorists like his Muzbro pals and then of course to the major terror backer, Iran. He only went after our own military, patriots, Christians, etc., and labeled them worthy of going on his "terrorist watch list". Just heard where more marines have been deployed in Syria to go after ISIS. I don't think Trump wants the complete control of the Middle East to get any further into Mr. Putin's influence and hands. Prayers.
It is out of control. And that's the most worrying part of it. It wasn't simply a matter of the Tsarnaev brothers having no past involvement that left them free to carry out the attack on Boston. Wasn't there something about the CIA or FBI or some other alphabet soup agency trying to recruit the older brother? Any number of those people who had their personal details hacked could be blackmailed or threatened. I think that Hayden was trying to imply that they had no choice but to recruit questionable people because they are the types with the technological expertise required. I think that someone else, possibly Don, posted a link to a very good report about the US troops making their presence known in Syria. That report was making the point that it's designed to get all parties focused on fighting ISIS rather than attacking each other. Please God, the strategy will work and there will be an end to the carnage.
Yes, it is compartmentalized. So that a project is not known to all just the portion you are working on is under your domain. The problem lies in IT. Typically, it is such a specialized field that IT people who are senior will have the "keys to the kingdom" if you will and that is where the leaks come into play. Security being what it is I could still to this day acquire information from my old employers networks easily because it is not easy to make far reaching changes to infrastructure security without adversely affecting day to day operations and productivity of personnel. I guarantee they still have not changed key accounts that I and others I worked with and recommended we change time and again. These were billion plus a year companies too. Obama used information when he was elected to the Senate to secure his win against his opponent that never should have been available to him or anyone else concerning their divorce. He used the IRS, ATF, intelligence agencies and Justice Department to further his ends time after time after time with zero recourse. Hopefully, those days will soon be done. Personally, I don't believe that the CIA should have that level of power without oversight akin to how we handle our nuclear arsenal. To be quite honest, IMO it should be disbanded after these revelations and to top it off the info that was released was less than 1% of the data they have for the CIA and there will be 6 more releases coming. As far as the 75th Rangers being deployed to Syria, I hate to see our troops anywhere over there anymore. The 75th is no joke and is not a peace keeping force you toss into an area to parade around. They are hell raisers and will get the job done and God wiling be out as soon as ISIS and Turkey are in check.
