Vault 7 - Happening

They're trying to sell smart toasters and refrigerators. So why not?

Obviously you should and will avoid the new smart net that is being aggressively pushed by the likes of Bezos, who owns Amazon and WaPo(?) among other things. I think this might have been the guy Dan got giddy about buying up media publications now that I think of it.

Anyway, we won't be buying this shit. Our up and coming third world replacements will.

But who's going to buy the stuff when our third world replacements become infected and stop breeding after a generation?

I guess that's why you keep the Middle East in perpetual turmoil, so there's always a supply of desperate immigrants.

One thing about the Mexicans.. their fertility rate is actually not so great either. Their society is disintegrating and falling into degeneracy as well.

In the end Africa will be the last to quit breeding....

It's a sad state of affairs.
It's time to open the wound and cut out all the proud flesh and scrub it clean.

Americans should no longer expect that their private conversations will remain private, the head of the FBI said on Wednesday.

FBI Director James Comey told a conference on cybersecurity that there is no longer any such thing as 'absolute privacy' in the era of WikiLeaks, social media, and hyper-interconnection, according to CNN.

'There is no such thing as absolute privacy in America; there is no place outside of judicial reach,' Comey told the conference at Boston College.

'Even our communications with our spouses, with our clergy members, with our attorneys are not absolutely private in America,' Comey said.
In appropriate circumstances, a judge can compel any one of us to testify in court about those very private communications.'

How's that for a fucking sleight-of-hand, when we're talking about the CIA's development of privacy-obliterating spying tools that are about as far away from in-court testimony that one can imagine. Shill.

EDIT: Waiminnit. Did he mean "any one of us" as in the intelligence community? Implying that they're listening to all of these conversations?

I think he is saying that, since a judge can compel you to testify about private communication, it means you don't have absolute right to privacy everywhere... so it follows you don't really have any right to privacy anywhere as far as he is concerned.

It is some air tight thinking, and very comforting, as I can not be sufficiently protected by somebody who isn't watching me constantly.

I don't think so. He used those 3 examples for a reason - they're the only legally-protected private conversations.

Attorney-client privilege, spouse can't be compelled to testify, and freedom of religion. Also, he's speaking to a conference of digital spies. The laws on those things haven't changed.

He's saying that those protections don't matter anymore because the Feds can listen in, use it in court, and that's a good thing. The judge can compel the spies to testify on those conversations.

Your attorney, priest, and spouse won't be forced to betray you - they don't have to. The Listeners aren't technically barred from using what they hear against you in court.

We are very literally now living in a police state. It's no longer hyperbole.

Well yes. When I first heard of smart appliances, I thought it kinda kooky, but I could see some possibilities. Then the smart toasters was mentioned. The thing I use to burn my toast with? WTF would it need a CPU for? Many of my fellow nerds, and geeks, will no doubt find reasons.

I'm barely old enough to remember the pet rock craze. So smart toasters!
