USAians - when your currency reset happens, suggest you be prepared for the Wild West. If the oligarchy (those who own the Federal Reserve bank) bring on a rapid reset, and disallow Trump executing a soft landing, all hell may well break loose. Good luck, Donald Trump Tells Rody Duterte He Supports His Right-Wing Death Squads! http://bbs.dailystormer.com/t/donald-trump-tells-rody-duterte-he-supports-h… " Abracadabra! And just like that, the diplomatic problem between the United States of America and the Republic of the Philippines vanished.

Anyone seen any good classic movies lately? Seven Days In May. Recommended by Pepe Escobar (snigger, 'Russian Stooge') The link he provides at Farcebook, 123DOTnet, is Cloudflare, like putlockerDOTac Here's a direct link to the 888mb file, hosted in Belize. 1274x720px, but better viewed a little smaller. http://130.185.254.181/vids/seven_days_in_may_1964.mp4 Escobar quotes Peter Spengler describing a "Soft Coup" in progress in the US: > "THE COUP AGAINST TRUMP > > It takes a brilliant analyst like my friend Peter Spengler to put the > ongoing regime change attempt against Trump in perspective in only a > few words: > > “We ought not to deal with this ‘Russia did it’ induced paranoia as an > intelligence failure, as Trump did, but with a creeping, emerging coup > which the Directorate of Operation [which the CIA basically is] has > been launching in cahoots with a faction in the Pentagon since about > September. > > This silent potential coup is an attempt to get rid of a nuisance > president even before he can become a legitimate president through the > vote of the electoral college, while at the same time building a scene > for a political crossfire in which Trump no longer has even a chance > to address a physical audience, like during the rallies of his > campaign, which leaves the mass of voters and supporters bewildered by > the secondary reality staged by the media. > > I think it serves well to review and smell "Seven Days in May" and > remember why and for what purpose JFK had won Frankenheimer for this > movie project.” > > MUST WATCH "Seven Days in May" is here:" Rr

FreePress, Filmmakers, and Users: We demand file encryption builtin the camera
by grarpamp 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

http://www.zdnet.com/article/photojournalists-and-filmmakers-call-on-camera… https://freedom.press/news/over-150-filmmakers-and-photojournalists-call-ma… https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3238288-Camera-Encryption-Letter.ht… Some of the world's leading photojournalists and filmmakers are calling on the manufacturers of the cameras they use to add encryption to their products, as the number of threats they face from having their devices seized is "literally too high to count." Over 150 documentary makers and reporters signed an open letter by the Freedom of the Press Foundation, asking for camera makers -- including Nikon, Sony, and Canon -- to ensure that their work is protected while often "attempting to uncover wrongdoing in the interests of justice." "Documentary filmmakers and photojournalists work in some of the most dangerous parts of the world, often risking their lives to get footage of newsworthy events to the public," said Trevor Timm, the foundation's executive director. But, he said, "they face a variety of threats from border security guards, local police, intelligence agents, terrorists, and criminals when attempting to safely return their footage so that it can be edited and published." The filmmakers say that camera security has lagged behind the rest of the industry, leaving their work "dangerously vulnerable."

Snowden on Your [Meta]Data: You must become Auhoritative Broker and Rightsholder
by grarpamp 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

https://www.periscope.tv/PardonSnowden/1vOxwgnXeYLxB https://techcrunch.com/2016/12/13/edward-snowden-says-the-central-problem-o… Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey interviewed Edward Snowden via Periscope about the wide world of technology. The NSA whistleblower "discussed the data that many online companies continue to collect about their users, creating a 'quantified world' -- and more opportunities for government surveillance,". Snowden said, "If you are being tracked, this is something you should agree to, this is something you should understand, this is something you should be aware of and can change at any time." Snowden acknowledged that there's a distinction between collecting the content of your communication (i.e., what you said during a phone call) and the metadata (information like who you called and how long it lasted). For some, surveillance that just collects metadata might seem less alarming, but in Snowden's view, "That metadata is in many cases much more dangerous and much more intrusive, because it can be understood at scale." He added that we currently face unprecedented perils because of all the data that's now available -- in the past, there was no way for the government to get a list of all the magazines you'd read, or every book you'd checked out from the library. "[In the past,] your beliefs, your future, your hopes, your dreams belonged to you," Snowden said. "Increasingly, these things belong to companies, and these companies can share them however they want, without a lot of oversight." He wasn't arguing that companies shouldn't collect user data at all, but rather that "the people who need to be in control of that are the users." "This is the central problem of the future, is how do we return control of our identities to the people themselves?" Snowden said.

AMD Zen: Exploited Before Release
by grarpamp 14 Dec '16

14 Dec '16

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/hardware/researchers-point-out-theore… http://amd-dev.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wordpress/media/2013/12/AMD_Memory_E… https://arxiv.org/pdf/1612.01119v1.pdf The security protocol that governs how virtual machines share data on a host system powered by AMD Zen processors has been found to be insecure, at least in theory, according to two German researchers. The technology, called Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV), is designed to encrypt parts of the memory shared by different virtual machines on cloud servers. AMD, who plans to ship SEV with its upcoming line of Zen processors, has published the technical documentation for the SEV technology this past April. The German researchers have analyzed the design of SEV, using this public documentation, and said they managed to identify three attack channels, which work, at least in theory. [In a technical paper released over the past weekend, the researchers described their attacks:] "We show how a malicious hypervisor can force the guest to perform arbitrary read and write operations on protected memory. We describe how to completely disable any SEV memory protection configured by the tenant. We implement a replay attack that uses captured login data to gain access to the target system by solely exploiting resource management features of a hypervisor." AMD is scheduled to ship SEV with the Zen processor line in the first quarter of 2017. http://hothardware.com/news/amd-to-attack-performance-desktop-market-with-r… http://hothardware.com/reviews/amd-unveils-additional-zen-processor-details… http://hothardware.com/news/cern-engineer-leaks-amd-zen-architecture-detail… AMD has disclosed that one of the high-end options in the initial RYZEN line-up will feature 8 cores (16 threads with SMT) and at minimum a 3.4 GHz base clock, with higher turbo frequencies. That processor will also be outfitted with 20MB of cache -- 4MB of L2 and 16MB of L3 -- and it will be infused with what AMD is calling SenseMI technology. SenseMI is essentially fancy branding for the updated branch predictor, prefetcher, and power and control logic in Zen. AMD's upcoming AM4 platform for RYZEN will be outfitted with all of the features expected of a modern PC enthusiast platform. AM4 motherboards will use DDR4 memory and feature PCIe Gen 3 connectivity, and support for USB 3.1 Gen 2, NVMe, and SATA Express. Performance demos of RYZEN shown to members of the press pit a stock Intel Core i7-6900K (3.2GHz base, 3.7GHz turbo) with Turbo Boost that was enabled on the 6900K, versus RYZEN with boost disabled running at 3.4GHz flat. In the demo, the RYZEN system outpaced the Core i7-6900K by a few seconds. AMD has been talking about the claimed 40% IPC (Instructions Per Clock) improvement of its forthcoming Zen processor versus the company's existing Excavator core for ages.AMD claims to have achieved that 40 percent IPC uplift with a newly-designed, higher-performance branch prediction and a micro-op cache for more efficient issuing of operations. The instruction schedule windows have been increased by 75% and issue-width and execution resources have been increased by 50%. The end result of these changes is higher single-threaded performance, through better instruction level parallelism. Zen's pre-fetcher is also vastly improved. There is 8MB of shared L3 cache on board now, a unified L2 cache for both instruction and data, and separate, low-latency L1 instruction and data caches. The new archicture offers up to 5x the cache bandwidth to the cores versus previous-gen offerings. However, after all the specsmanship was out of the way, AMD actually showcased a benchmark run of an 8-core Zen Summit Ridge procesor versus Intel's Broadwell-E 8-core chip, both running at 3GHz and processing a Blender rending workload. In the demo, the 8-core Zen CPU actually outpaced Intel's chip by a hair.

Fwd: [NATURAL_DEFENCE] SECRET U.S.A. TORTURE NETWORK
by grarpamp 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: ECOTERRA Intl. <office(a)ecoterra-international.org> Date: Tue, Dec 13, 2016 at 12:03 AM Subject: [NATURAL_DEFENCE] SECRET U.S.A. TORTURE NETWORK To: MAILHUB <mailhub(a)ecoterra.net> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW REPORT TO U.N. SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR BLASTS SECRET U.S.A. TORTURE NETWORK LAKE ARROWHEAD, CA. 12 December 2016: A ground-breaking report just released to the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Torture by the activist organization ITHACA reveals the existence of a massive, secret imprisonment and torture system that targets tens of thousands of Americans each year. Some have estimated it yields annual profits upwards of $40-billion annually to the perpetrators. (1) The report contains affidavits of some 90 individuals documenting violations of the 1984 United Nations Convention Against Torture, including isolation, contraindicated forced drugging, starvation, medical neglect, intimidation, coercion, unnecessary/inappropriate medical procedures, and physical and mental abuse. The victims are not charged or convicted of any crime and are often denied legal representation. “Our report, Adult Guardianships as a Form of Torture in the United States, uncovers something far worse--owing to its scope and extent-- than the secret network of CIA prisons revealed last year by the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee,” comments ITHACA spokeswoman Janet Phelan. “These victims are not terror suspects. They are ordinary US citizens who fell into a system which is geared towards fleecing their assets, with no regard for their well being.” Unlike the overseas “black sites” of the USA, the ITHACA report points out, the domestic torture system barely reaches the public consciousness because it is protected by a fearsome network of judges, attorneys and other court officers, court-appointed guardians, law enforcement, APS social workers, psychologists and medical personnel. Some of the so-called care facilities are little more than prisons that isolate vulnerable seniors from their loved ones—often from all outside contact. Then the victims are “treated” while their finances are drained in a variety of ways, sometimes through documents they are coerced through a variety of “ways” to sign. Once their finances are sufficiently depleted, death often follows swiftly. And the evidence is frequently quickly destroyed by cremation before loved ones have a chance to see the body or get an autopsy. Those fighting to defend their loved ones - and sometimes lawyers or others who make the mistake of trying to help - also face retaliation, detailed in the ITHACA report. This can include disbarment for attorneys and loss of licenses for medical and other professionals. In some cases, families are ruined by legal costs trying to save a loved one trapped in the system. One account details an impoverished woman with a disabled husband threatened with $9000 in legal fees for objecting to a court-appointed guardian who was issued letters of guardianship, in violation of state law, listing false credentials. This threat was used to force her to drop the objection. Others grow sick from the hopeless struggle and die of heart attacks or other illness—sometimes under suspicious circumstances. Still others face legal harassment and are forced to leave the country. As detailed in the report, some have faced jail or prison. The ITHACA report points out a major loophole for potential torturers. There is little hope from the higher courts, despite the fact that many victims and their loved ones should be protected by the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), states the report: “The US Supreme Court has taken a position concerning guardianship and probate matters. Known as “the probate exception,” this essentially removes the Supreme Court from any necessity on issuing decisions in matters arising in state probate courts. The difficulty in finding remedies to exhaust is enhanced by the tendencies of probate courts to issue gag orders and restraining orders against litigants, which may bar them from exercising their legal rights to make further reports or otherwise engage justice agencies.” That’s right. The ITHACA report reveals to the U.N. Special Rapporteur that the USAmerican legal system is complicit in this alleged wholesale looting and torture of seniors. The local courts have the power—and use the power—to seal records containing damning evidence, have photographs proving potential torture destroyed, issue gag orders to relatives and witnesses, and issue various restraining orders that prevent the exposure of cross violations of the U.N. Convention on Torture by the USA. [END] NOTE TO REPORTERS: The complete report and attachments are available from ITHACA, P.O. Box 50, PMB 207, Lake Arrowhead, CA 92352, Tel.: (541) 708-3534.
