MINNEAPOLIS – The past week has not been a good one for the CIA. Ever since Wikileaks published a trove of documents exposing the agency’s ability to hack everything from smartphones to smart televisions to PCs, the CIA has been on the defensive, framing its shady behavior as necessary for protecting national security.
“It is now up to the device and OS manufacturers, like Apple, Google, or Samsung, to fix their volcanoes back into mountains.” Telegram Statement, Mar 8, 2017 The paradox with information releases that expose a supposedly grand internal stratagem is that they merely provide the food of confirmation otherwise lacking.

Following up on my analyses the past few months, my take is largely corroborated with the recent ‘Vault 7’ release – the biggest intelligence dump in history.
In 2015, two Salifist terrorists killed 16 people in California. Media coverage of the attack was rapidly superseded by a dispute between Apple Inc. and the FBI. The dispute arose from Apple’s refusal to give the FBI access to technology which could hack into/unlock the iPhone 5c used by the terrorists.

Police use surveillance software, which uses mobile technology and social media to keep tabs on citizens.
NEW YORK— It is run out of a quiet, unassuming office on a tree-lined avenue in Bethesda, Maryland. The rows of hip restaurants are offering young urban professionals all the grande-iced-sugar-free-vanilla-soy-lattes they could ever need.

I also show how this all fits into a larger picture of the globalists, and their minion the Pope, are seeking to destroy any sovereignty or nationhood in their mad trek to implement a technocracy.
Mark Hackard returns to Our Interesting Times to discuss his article “The US Establishment’s Russian Scapegoat Veils the Real Enemy Within.” We talk about the Establishment’s attempt to delegitimize the Donald Trump presidency by spreading disinformation regarding alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Vladimir Putin and the irony of US officials accusing the Kremlin of meddling in the 2016 presidential race.

Vault 7: what does it mean to America, and the expectations of of rights and privacy for the average citizen? Is the CIA’s covert hacking program an affront to the US Constitution? Are we at as dark place in western a society?
CrossTalk: Wikileaks strikes again. On full display are the CIA’s spy tools and methods. Snowden provided a briefing book on U.S. surveillance, but the CIA leaks could provide the blueprints. And your Samsung TV and iPhone are a big part of this.
