SemiAccurate has known about this vulnerability for literally years now, it came up in research we were doing on hardware backdoors over five years ago. What we found was scary on a level that literally kept us up at night. For obvious reasons we couldn’t publish what we found out but we took every opportunity to beg anyone who could even tangentially influence the right people to do something about this security problem. SemiAccurate explained the problem to literally dozens of “right people” to seemingly no avail. We also strongly hinted that it existed at every chance we had. ... > The problem is quite simple, the ME controls the network ports and has DMA access to the system. It can arbitrarily read and write to any memory or storage on the system, can bypass disk encryption once it is unlocked (and possibly if it has not, SemiAccurate hasn’t been able to 100% verify this capability yet), read and write to the screen, and do all of this completely unlogged. Due to the network access abilities, it can also send whatever it finds out to wherever it wants, encrypted or not. keep in mind, just how many computers run Intel. We don't backdoor encryption. We backdoor everything. We should have adopted the Clipper chip.

Public discourse progressing - [ahrc@unsw.edu.au: Book launch: Cultural heritage and human rights | 15th May 2017 at 5pm]
by Zenaan Harkness 02 May '17

02 May '17

I cannot speak much to the "Australian Human Rights Centre", but they're Aussies, so they're probably not all bad, and they're from a University, so they're probably a bit bookish, which wouldn't bee too foreign to most folks these days ... What stands out is that "politically correct" public discourse is evidently on the move, and I say (in this example at least), in a good way, and in a good direction. By denying any part of our reality, which includes our cultural/national heritage, we are submitting ourselves to an artificial discourse, submitting ourselves artificially to a denial of part of ourselves and our communities. "The Left" has had a strong hold on the public discourse now for a few decades indeed, and some would say to the result of some distinctly negative consequences, incuding the inability to even discuss certain topics ("did the holocaust actually happen, in anything like what the typical belief/ hollywood projection is?"), and with other discussions stilted, curtailed and altogether biased in ways which are against our interests. And so it is a good thing that some of these Politically Correct strictures are being busted, and we begin to publicly discuss any topic that individuals consider to be important. If you consider this type of conversation important, then consider forwarding this to those who might agree with you.

But Charles, you say that this massive 10 year effort is only by the community? "Why yes" says Charles. But Charles, if you just wanted to kick off a discussion, why did it take you 10 years to tell us all about it - we've all been on email for the last 15 to 20+ years at least? Charles: "well ... umm ... please ignore the contradiction". You, Charles Molison, are treating us like morons, like we are missing a brain cell or two. You throw around an accolade or three, patting a few folks on the back condescendingly "there, there, citizen", telling us "all your problems will be solved with this one little thing we've done ... whoops, sorry, did I say we?

My, my, Charles, what big contradictory sentences you have there . . . > and to show people like Zenaan that change for the better is > possible without ''throwing the baby out with the bath water!" Yes, yes Charles, we hear you loud and clear, you and your cronies have got all the solutions to all our problems, and you have no need to answer John Wilson, Gerrit, Stefanovski or anyone else in the community with clear, genuine, and fundamental problems with what you're saying, because, yes, yes Charles, that's right, this "new constitution to solve all our problems" is not coming from you, it's coming from us, because we all discussed it as a community over the last 10 years Charles.

My, my, Charles, what PERFECT sense you make Charles! > conclusive and totally integrated example of what could be > achieved. Yes, I hear you Charles, we're all so stupid that our stupid cries for justice, for trial by jury, and for our politicians and courts to STICK TO THE CONSTITUTION WE ALREADY HAVE, is just so stupid of us, that's why we need you, Charles, you and your cronies Charles, to save us from our own stupidity, and so now ... ... you present ... ... your ... wait for it ... final solution! Yes, yes, Charles, we hear you - a final, "proper" constitution, because what we're all those stoopid founding fathers spending countless 1000s of hours and 15+ years of conferences doing? Just who the hell did they think they were trying to create a constitution, they didn't know shit, that's right Charles? Yes, they had no idea what they were doing which is why you Charles, you are your cronies ... now present to us ... wait for it ... AT GREAT PERSONAL EXPENSE ...

The eternal vigilance we must display when we have relatively solid foundations, as we do in Australia notwithstanding the mostly self serving corrup politicians and other power brokers, is notable. At least once a year, those behind the scenes to to fuck us over in Australia, with deceptive and undermining "public discourse". And roughly every 10 to 20 years, TPTB actually run a referendum to try to turn Australia into a republic, on one or another "emotive, politically correct, hot social topic of the day" such as: - "recognizing" Aboriginals in the constitution so the parliament can pass laws specifically about them (pro- or anti-) thus instituting a constitutionally racist regime - getting rid of "the Queen" or "the Crown" or "the Monarch" as head of state because "surely we got ta have an Australian as head of state" (the current topic du jour), which is hogwash, since the ultimate Australian head of state is only titular anyway (i.e. holding no significant power except some power to declare war, which has always been left to our parliament anyway) - turning us into a republic, because "republics are wonderful, just look at America" In all cases, the public discourse as lead by TPTB is deceptive and highly narrow - the LEGAL foundations within our current system/ federal Australian constitution, are always ignored (except that we in the public open our eyes to the deception and have the conversation we need to have), such as the following legal foundations: - invocation of the Blessing of Almighty God (legally, a GREAT foundation to have in any constitution) - the Crown/ the parliament of the UK (legally good for us since it brings in Magna Charta, Bill of Rights (old English/imperial bill of rights - i.e. William and Mary Cess.) and other imperial legislation some of which is absolutely in our interests as individual humans within Australia. Alas, the powers that be don't like the fact of the existence of the Blessing of Almighty God at the foundation of our Australian federal Constitution! They also don't like the fact that our forefathers discussed in the constitution debates, and specifically spoke "the supreme absolute and uncontrollable authority remains with the people". And so, as to be expected, The Powers That Be continue to try to undermine these (by any modern standards) very good, foundations that we have in Austalia.

(Whether or not it be for a Constitutional > Monarchy OR a Democratic Republic.) Please stop spreading such rubbish! Per the Quick and Garran annotations and the foundational hansard conferences and debates: "The supreme absolute and uncontrollable authority remains with the people." Those who push for change are failing to see that we in Australia, already have one of the finest constitutions, IN THE WORLD! We cannot grant to ourselves MORE authority than we, the people, are already declared to have, by our CURRENT constitution. The ONLY problems are that people DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH, they don't know what we already have, such as we already have a Bill of Rights!! (The old English bill of rights - William and Mary Cess.) ALL we have to do is start LIVING the rights we already have. The current foundation of our federal constitution in Australia is about as good as it gets, for us/ we the people. Sure, there are a FEW relatively minor areas for improvement, but ANY MAJOR CHANGE will all but certainly DESTROY the incredibly powerful and protective foundations that we already have. Your words "a new Constitution could fix all these problems" are deceptive. Your deceptive words might be deceptive due to a need for understanding on your part. I hope that's the only reason you are spreading deceptive words. Your words suggesting a "Democratic Republic" would be acceptable are also deceptive - "Whether or not it be for a Constitutional Monarchy OR a Democratic Republic." Charles Mollison, please STOP using deceptive words. As Gerrit Schorel-Hlavka, Jim Stephanovski, Malcolm McClure, Joyn Wilson and many others have said, CORRECTLY I add: A republic puts the parliament OVER we the people! When you suggest or imply in your words to people that a republic is a reasonable option, you are making a false and or deceptive suggestion to people. Please STOP making false and deceptive suggestions to people. Another awesome foundation in our CURRENT constitution, just another of the reasons we have one of the greatest constitutions in the world, is that our Australian federal constitution affirms at its foundation, the Blessing of Almighty God. This affirmation that our constitution is founded "humbly relying on the Blessing of Almighty God" is one of the most powerful legal foundations that we can, individually, rely upon, in the courts in Australia! This Blessing of Almighty God, as it is SPECIFICALLY AFFIRMED AND WORDED/ CONSTRUCTED in our Australia federal constitution, Fellow Australians, let's PROTECT the awesome LEGAL FOUNDATIONS in our current Australian federal constitution! Let's protect those great affirmations and legal constructions in the very foundation of our Australian constitutional monarchy which our forefathers so wisely handed to us on a silver plate! Let us continue to remind those who misrepresent the truth of our powerful Australian constitutional monarchy - powerful for we the people, powerful legal foundations, humbly affirming the sovereignty of we the people as ABOVE the parliaments and bloody and opportunistic politicians who want MORE authority, which they can only take from us by DESTROYING those foundations that we already have in our existing Australian federal constitution! > The Foundation for National Renewal has drafted such a new > Constitution. It is available from FNR at cobbscrossing(a)bigpond.com > <mailto:cobbscrossing@bigpond.com> . ($10 plus P&P). Although only > a draft, we believe it has answers for all the warnings John Wilson > raises in his article below. Your approach is opportunistic. Your requirement for money to engage in any such conversation is fundamentally at odds with the modern reality. Your implication of "special authority and insight" from yourself and or those you associate with is ABSOLUTELY OBJECTIONABLE! How DARE you assert (by implication or otherwise) to the rest of us that we cannot think for ourselves, or cannot engage fully in the very foundation of EVERY conversation potentially affective our future! How dare you use deceptive, condescending and fundamentally undermining words! Your approach is fundamentally wrong, deceptive and flawed. And the biggest joke is that even the attachments you send have major problems, and you are probably so unaware as to realise what those problems are.. it would be funny if it wasn't so sad. > Check it out. At least the subject is appropriate - "republican fools" indeed. Charles Mollison your foundations are flawed, your execution is flawed, and the words you continue to use are deceptive! Your intentions may be good, in which case you have much to learn, and I implore you to please stop using words which deceive our fellow Australians and encourage the ignorant to walk in directions which are absolutely detrimental to our common individual and shared collective authority and well legal being!! If you are truly sincere, please read some of Gerrit Schorel-Hlavka's books, or some of Andrew Moyles letters and court submissions, or damn, read some of our existing federal constitution! If you are truly sincere, you would have involved yourself in the various discussions that happen in our community in last two decades! But we have not seen you be involved. - When Gerrit was in court, Charles where were you with your support and review of his documents? - When Mr Moyle was supporting others in court, where were you Charles with your support? - When Mr Stefanovski brought to our attention the court cases of fellow Australians, when Mr Wilson and his crew were in court and beating the "trial by jury" drum, WHERE WERE YOU Mr Charles Mollison?!! - and dozens of other examples ... Charles, you prance onto the scene, charging for some "new solution to all our problems", made by folks who you imply "know how to PROPERLY draft a constitution", SO MUCH BETTER than the dozens of men and women and 100s if not 1000s more behind the scenes who drafted our current constitution over 100 years ago - and you expect us to run along with your implication that "BAH! What would all those founding fathers know! They were so stooopid they did not even know how to PROPERLY draft a constitution!" The conceit and pride you have just displayed Mr Charles Mollison! "Oh what would 100s of founding fathers diligently meeting and discussing over 15 years even know!" The only real problem is the ratbags getting elected, good people failing to stand for election and failing to unite with other good people, those in power who abuse their power (regardless of what any "constitution" says), and the lack of education of our fellow Australians about our awesome foundations and how to use those foundations! WE NEED A NEW CONSTITUTION LIKE WE NEED FLOURIDE IN OUR WATER. A shout out to all those who who stand and solid foundations, including: - Gerrit Schorel-Hlavka, valiantly and consistently defending the true foundations of our excellent federal constitution - Malcolm McClure, who tought me and many others the value of standing on solid foundations of our constitution, Magna Carta, Bill of Rights and more, in the courts - John Wilson, religiously beating the drum on the importance of our CONSTITUTIONAL foundation of trial by jury and its eminent remedial utility - Jim Stefanovski, steadfastly engaging us all in the public discourse, making valiant individual stand, and providing moral support to others who try to stand as well - Andrew Moyle, ever vigilant on our Australian foundations and supporting those he can There are so many others, many still with us, still standing and still speaking out well and strong like Ray Platt, and others who have gone before and, who made incredible stands, true credits to Australia as a nation. Let's all do a little bit more, perhaps read one foundation document (or section) per month that we have not yet read, perhaps giving moral support to those who make a true stand (as best we can ascertain individually), and let us be eternally vigilant against the forces of deception and destruction, against those conversations and against those actions that would and do undermine us, undermine our fellow Aussies, and undermine the very foundations which are good and wholesome and which have proven the test of time DESPITE far too many ratbags getting into power just to serve themselves and their crony mates! Eternal vigilance fellow freedom fighters - eternal vigilance. Respectfully to all those who uphold our truly good and wholesome foundations in our Australian federal constitution, our "constitutional monarchy", Zenaan Harkness, Victoria, Australia ----- End forwarded message -----

Just to illustrate the nature of this 1-2 pronged attack which Charles Mollison is either wittingly or unwittingly engaged in with ARM: - ARM proposes to scrap the monarchy, fundamentally destroying the superb foundation in the Preamble to our Australia federal constitution, thus creating A) the problem - "oh no" say the people "they're creating a problem", thus demonstrating: B) the reaction and finally: - Charles Mollison walzes along and proposes: C) the solution yet fundamentally, Charles Mollison's solution is ALSO fatally flawed, thus exposing what is know as (check it out on the internet/ wikipedia etc) The false dichotomy. The false dichotomy presents two evils or two problems, and says (or better yet, implies) that we must choose between the two of them. But both are evil, problematic, fundamentally and fatally flawed, and are actually designed by those who want something, against the interests of those who they are targetting (we the Australian people). It is a false dichotomy because it says there are only two options, in this case: A) change our Australian constitution in a bad way B) change our Australian constitution in a really bad way But of course, not only is there the option to change our constitution (which as almost always proposed by government power brokers and their witting and unwitting cohorts), but there is a THIRD option, to NOT change our constitution, giving us: A) change our Australian constitution in a bad way B) change our Australian constitution in a really bad way C) do NOT change our Australian constitution Those want either A) or B) (they don't care which of A or B they get, as long as they get either of them), DESPERATELY want us to ignore option C), and try to create a public dialogue that Pre-supposes that option C does not even exist. Stay alert fellow people, stay alert! Eternal vigilance! Regards to all those who uphold our good and wholesome foundations in Australia, Zenaan Harkness ----- End forwarded message -----
