I was called by a journalist yesterday who told me that in Dewsbury six years ago I shared a platform with Baroness Warsi’s now husband at a meeting against the persecution of Muslims. Sadly I couldn’t really help him as at the time I was doing hundreds such events and have only the dimmest of recollections of that one.
It is not merely amusing that Cameron refers Warsi for investigation for allegedly pocketing a couple of thousand quid while protecting Hunt who tried so hard to shepherd the Murdoch BSkyB bid past the winning post, while pretending to referee the event.
Nor is the lesson just that a Muslim woman will always be expendable while a fully paid up member of the ruling class will be less so.
The truth is that to trip up an MP over a little cash does not threaten the system. To tackle the massive institutional corruption by which corporate interests control the British state is a different question altogether.
Hunt is of course not the only case not to be referred. Nor was the Adam Werritty debacle, where rather than the proper investigative procedures Cameron organised a tidy little stitch-up by Gus O’Donnell which omitted almost all the key facts and particularly did not say what the entire scheme was about – the promotion of the interests of Israel. The Murdoch Empite, the Israeli lobby, these are amongst the interests that actually run the exploited citizenry of this poor wracked old country. Every now and then glimpses of truth emerge.
But must not be pursued.
Thank-you Clark for your analysis.

I have a suspicion Gareth Williams was involved in a mathematical extension to the original ‘Olympic Games’ cyber warfare program and might be the reason behind his murder. He probably was involved in MD5 computations to create a false hash needed to exploit Windows Update file authentication.

I am becoming increasingly interested in creating an information website that will give anyone the power to effectively use open source or PGP encryption. If I can empower people to use encryption on a regular basis this will increase encrypted traffic on the web, a valuable message to those targeting a ‘dumb’ public and a positive contribution to Julian Assange push for increased use of cryptography by the general public.

Flame malware makers send ‘suicide’ code
The malware is said to have infected more than 600 specific targets .
.
The creators of the Flame malware have sent a “suicide” command that removes it from some infected computers.
.
Security firm Symantec caught the command using booby-trapped computers set up to watch Flame’s actions.
/..
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18365844
.
“The design of this new variant required world-class cryptanalysis,” said cryptoexpert Marc Stevens from the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in Amsterdam in a statement. The finding gives support to claims that Flame must have been built by a nation state rather than cybercriminals. It is not clear yet which nation created the program.
.
So which nation was it?
yes, but, will my dentist be able to unscramble my appointment request..:)
Thanks for that insight Mark and Clark, gosh, the ‘mark&Clark encryption experience’? go for it.
Does anybody know whether this flamer has infested TOR operation systems?
Mark, do publish (or send me) your public key (or a “throw-away” one); we can start increasing encrypted traffic as of today! I intend to publish a public key for myself on my web space later today. Anyone else? Anyone who uses the Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail client can simply add the Enigmail extension, which, once set up, makes PGP encryption simple and routine.
.
According to Microsoft, Flamer uses a “fraudulent” “Microsoft” certificate to gain entry to Windows. I’m not sure that it’s possible to distinguish between this and a genuine Microsoft certificate. Stuxnet reportedly used a “stolen” certificate, but as Stuxnet was revealed to be of US / Israeli origin, it seems more likely that the certificate was simply bought as usual, and then records altered to make it appear stolen. So far as I know, the supposed theft of that certificate has not been adequately explained.
.
Cyberweapons of this sort are wrong, but we should remember that it is Microsoft’s unethical (and frequently illegal) business practices that have successfully infected a majority of the world’s computers with the insecure piece of proprietary malware known as M$ Windows. Moral: if you wish to remain in sole control of your own computer, use free*, open-source software.
.
(*”Free” as in “free speech” as opposed to “free beer”.)
Nevermind, data is encrypted on its entry into the TOR system, i.e. if you’re using TOR, on the computer you’re working on. So if your local machine is infected, the data can be copied before encryption, and the copy sent elsewhere.
.
Once within the TOR system, the data should be safe until it reaches a “TOR exit node”, i.e. the last computer in the TOR chain. Here it is decrypted, so if the exit node is infected, again, the data can be copied and diverted.
.
Infected nodes in-between could also copy and divert the data, but only in encrypted form. Decryption would require serious time on a super-computer.
A white hearse drawn by four plumed black horses for Robin Gibb. There is a military guard in the form of air cadets from a Thame Squadron. Gibb was a past president of the Heritage Foundation and was a patron of Bomber Command Association. He, Caudwell and Ashcroft were the leading lights in the fundraising for the construction of a memorial to be unveiled on 28th June. I see that Ashcroft makes the odd foray to these shores.
.

Caudwell set up Phones4U and sold out to private equity for £1.46 billion. I suppose he can afford to be generous for more of this Portland stone to occupy a space in London. ‘A prominent member of the Royal family will unveil it’ later in the month. Of course they will. They just love commemorating war.
Incidentally, I’m not opposed to free beer, but free speech is more important.

Mary, my money is on US / Israel as Flamer’s authors. Too similar to Stuxnet, majority of infections in Iran.

Dunno if anyone has posted or commented upon this yet, but it seems quite important given the simplistic propaganda the BBC are currently spewing forth on Syria:

“Syrian rebels tried to get me killed, says Channel 4 correspondent”
.
“Alex Thomson says crew was led to ‘free-fire zone’ as deaths would discredit Bashar al-Assad’s regime”

It does portray the so-called Syrian rebels in a rather different light to that reported by their BBC apologists.

Between corrupting the global financial system and fomenting unnecessary wars abroad, it really is about time these gangsters were brought to heel.

Foreign Secretary condemns Israel’s settlement announcement
08 June 2012
.
Foreign Secretary William Hague has condemned Israel’s announcement authorising new settlement units across the West Bank and urges the Israeli Government to change its approach.
Foreign Secretary William Hague said:
.
“I condemn the announcement by Israel to authorise the building of 851 new settlement units across the West Bank. While we appreciate the Israeli Government’s efforts to avoid damaging legislation in the Israeli Knesset by voting against a bill to legalise West Bank outposts, the decision to move settlers from an illegal outpost by creating housing units in settlements elsewhere across the Green Line sets a dangerous precedent. Such outposts are illegal under both Israeli and international law and should be removed entirely.
.
“The British Government, and our EU partners, have made it consistently clear that settlement construction is illegal under international law, an obstacle to peace and should stop immediately – in line with Israel’s own commitment under the 2003 Roadmap. Continued systematic settlement activity, and repeated breaches by the Israeli Government of international law, is provocative, undermines the prospects of peace between Israel and the Palestinians, and makes the two state solution ever harder to realise. It makes it increasingly difficult for Israel’s international friends to defend the Israeli Government’s actions.
.
“I urge the Israeli Government to change its approach, to meet its international obligations fully and for both sides to engage constructively in the search for peace.”

“The truth is that to trip up an MP over a little cash does not threaten the system. To tackle the massive institutional corruption by which corporate interests control the British state is a different question altogether.”
You write as though you disapprove of corporate control of the state, yet you’re a liberal and the liberals have always been for the money power and against democracy. It was the Tories under the Duke of Wellington who brought in the 1832 reform bill and it was the Tories under Disreali who extended the franchise far beyond what Gladstone, the beneficiary of a slave-driving Carribean plantation, wanted.
Likewise, you’re for globalization, uncontrolled mass migration and the free movement of capital and goods, the whole genocidal libertarian program for the destruction of the nation state. I realize that, as an English born and bred Scotch Nat., such inconsistencies don’t bother you, but how you maintain a following even among the most simple-minded is astonishing.

TEL AVIV (EJP)—Israeli President Shimon Peres paid a personal tribute to Queen Elizabeth II at a ceremony to mark her Diamond Jubilee at the British ambassador’s residence in Tel Aviv on Tuesday.
.
British Ambassador to Israel Matthew Gould hosted the event with hundreds of attendees present, including MKs, regional mayors and leading figures from the Israel business, cultural and science worlds.
.
http://www.ejpress.org/article/58845
.
‘In further moves to highlight British-Israeli interaction, the celebration was sponsored by some of the leading British companies doing business in Israel.’
.
Who they?
Alfie said;
“…..as an English born and bred Scotch Nat., such inconsistencies…..”
missing; and an immigrant in Canada. Constantly banging on the drum of mass migration to cover up the “English born and bred Scotch Nat” (where have you heard this kind of shite before?), without so much as posting any hints of any proof as to the veracity of his declarations.
,
This tosspot then jumping on the band wagon is banging on about the Warsi woman who is a Muslim, and the kind of competition Alfie and his kind just cannot stomach, hence his dismissive remarks, whilst taking a potshot at the Cameron et al.
,
Lost in the translation is the fact that Warsi is busy in the business of peddling spices, and not she is not peddling influence for the chosen ones to set the planet on a course of destruction, so that the said supremacists can hang on to their shitty little patch of land that they have stolen from the Palestinians.
,
Alfie has invented the wheel, and he does not know it! Really funny if he was not for real.
What a crawler. And all spoken in Hebrew which he has been learning.
.
Gould said that the last few days have shown the extraordinary loyalty that the queen commands in the UK and her realms as well as the respect that she receives from the whole world. The queen, he said, embodies the British values of democracy, tolerance, rule of law and determination in the face of adversity, which are values that are also shared by Israel. She also embodies the notion of service to her country, he said, underscoring that there are few who can match her period of service. Turning toward President Shimon Peres, Gould noted that Peres is among those few. Just as the queen is described as the unifying presence of British life, so Peres is the unifying presence at the heart of Israeli life, said Gould, adding that no one in Israel is more appropriate to toast Her Majesty.

Oh, please make the speccy one go away. Moderate him back under his Rockies rock.
Talking of cyber-warfare may I remind you that this is all part ‘n’ parcel of the well publicised doctrine laid out in the Project for a New American Century, which is a thinly veiled plan for global dominance, i.e. world conquest.
.
The Internet is considered part of the battlefield along with the MSM. It is a matter of public record that the BBC World Service is directly funded by the Pentagon via the US State Department.
.
The totalitarian vision of Democracy outlined in the Zionist PNAC doc is being made reality as each year passes and is now disturbingly close to starting a war between the US and Russia/China. One has to wonder what Zionists really expect to gain from such a confrontation. Perhaps recognising that the Zionist project has seen it’s most significant achievements in the immediate aftermath of global conflict they fancy another roll of the dice. Eretz Israel, the rebuilt Temple, it must all be just too tempting for them.
.
Western governments are in the hands of these psychos through their dominance of finance and media. Just ask Dave. http://www2.cfoi.co.uk/ Its about time Westerners faced up to their identity of 21st Century Nazis, controlled by exactly the same bunch as the 20th Century Nazis.

BTW. Fukishima was not destroyed by the Tsunami but by a failure of the control systems to shut the reactors down. The reactor controller were the same Siemens type targeted by Stuxnet. Prior to the Tsunami Japan was pressing for the removal of 50,000 US troops from Okinawa. Germany, the maker of the Siemens controllers, shut down EVERY SINGLE NUCLEAR REACTOR literately overnight after Fukishima.
Gideon Osborn, aka the more Goy friendly sounding George Osborne, will be lying under oath on live national TV Monday. It’s OK though, UK law doesn’t apply to him because he parents mutilated his genitals (or something like that).
She’s served her purpose and is not part of the club. David Davis – white, male – resigned from the Shadow Cabinet over 90-day detention but he was about to be pushed out by the Eton crowd because he is of working-class origin. For some time, there has been a struggle going on within the Tory Party. Heath-Thatcher-Major (albeit with differing policies – this has nothing to do with policy) were of lower middle/working class origin. Cameron et al brought the return to the traditional ruling class to the helm.
.
Now, Warsi – as someone wrote, she ticked all the boxes (except that of sexual orientation) – is being targeted by people within the Conservative Party. Remember ‘Taylor of Cheltenham’, back in the 1980s/1990s? THAT is the truth of the Tory Party.
.
And Giles, both her elevation and now the attempt to destroy her political career have absolutely everything to do with the fact that she is a black, Muslim woman. There is no point attempting to deny the existence and importance of racism in the UK.
.
I do not agree with her on many things – she is too accommodating of religious fundos, for a start (doesn’t want to alienate a core constituency and has been brainwashed by 30+ years of Islamism in the Pakistani communities) – and of course, I despise ‘chamchas’ (‘spoons’ – derogatory South Asian term for those who suck up to Empire/power). Like most politicians, primarily she was out to make a name for herself, mainly through PR activity, and to ingratiate herself with the usual power blocs. Nonetheless, I did agree with her, for example, on her recent criticism of those gangs who regard white women as trash, etc.
.
But I agree with Craig that this shows up the utter hypocrisy of the ruling elite. Yet anyone who imagines that it has been or is any different from that, like Baroness (why is everyone now a baron or baroness?) Warsi perhaps might have, is in for a rude awakening.
.
I wonder also whether there might be some other subtext – as there was with the David Davis resignation – of which we, the general public, remain unaware at this point.
Ref David Davis. The other Dave aka the PM won’t like this. They will take Davis’s legs off in some way or other.

Our right to privacy is under threat. The government has confirmed it wants new powers to snoop on all of us whenever we use the internet. Soon they’ll start pushing the plans through Parliament. [1]
.
We can stop these Big Brother plans – if enough MPs feel enough pressure to vote against them. So now’s the time to get clued up. We need to work out how to persuade every MP to vote to protect our privacy.
.
David Davis MP is a senior Conservative, a former shadow Home Secretary and a long-time supporter of civil liberties. He’s hugely opposed to the government’s plans. He’s agreed to hold an online question and answer session with 38 Degrees members. It’s a chance to hear more about the snooping plan and how we can stop it.

.
If we’re trying to persuade MPs, where better to get insider knowledge than direct from an MP? And David Davis isn’t just any MP – he’s a prominent Conservative and a former minister. [2] He’s been on the receiving end of many 38 Degrees campaigns before. He’ll be able to tell us what works and how to best respond to government spin.
.
David Cameron claims his new plans to invade our privacy will make us safer. But really this is about Big Brother powers to spy on all of us, not just serious criminals. It’s the difference between treating all of us as citizens, and treating us as suspects. [3]
.
38 Degrees members know better than anyone that the internet can be a force for good. It would be a disaster if the government got more powers to spy on it. So let’s come together on the internet next week and prepare to stand up for our privacy online.

Only 6 days left to watch Scorsese’s Surviving Progress. I don’t know what it says but the first five minutes which I have just watched were intriguing. The link is here.

The BBC blurb – Duration: 1 hour, 20 minutes
.
Documentary telling the double-edged story of the grave risks we pose to our own survival in the name of progress. With rich imagery the film connects financial collapse, growing inequality and global oligarchy with the sustainability of mankind itself. The film explores how we are repeatedly destroyed by ‘progress traps’ – alluring technologies which serve immediate need but rob us of our long term future. Featuring contributions from those at the forefront of evolutionary thinking such as Stephen Hawking and economic historian Michael Hudson. With Martin Scorsese as executive producer, the film leaves us with a challenge – to prove that civilisation and survival is not the biggest progress trap of them all.
I came by this mans ideas about the unfolding situations in the world. He constructs many ideas and forms opinions that suggest that there are controling entities envoking a current madnesses.
His main idealogy is that the Bible especially Daniel prophesize the outcome in history learned or acted.
Interesting he says the Popes broadcast speeches are relavent to the Power and resource grab and it just to share out the worlds riches.
Walter Veith I think is a 7th day Adventist or something but what he says is worth a listen. Similar to David Icke without the madness.
May peace be upon you..
