We need to see information on the corruption of Congress persons so that people will wake up and stop reelecting the same ones. Even that won't do it, I suppose. Given what's gone on, it seems nothing will stop the madness.

I wonder who the head honcho is, the dark lord, who rules the world?
Who is top commander?

Well geez, when something of this magnitude drops, we shouldn't be bickering over who's party still sucks, the commentary should be something like this:
"You stupid peasants. The toes of the shadow government are now peeking out from under the grand curtains that conceal them, and yet you still act like it's small-scale control and piss and moan over party lines. Fools. The CIA & whomever they ultimately bark for has you by the balls."

I'm surprised no one is discussing the impact this could have on e-commerce and banking. If these CIA-developed 'cyber weapons' make it into the hands of criminals (as Wikileaks claims to be inevitable) then I imagine a lot of people will be going back to paper accounting. Unless the tech companies can plug the security holes quickly...

I read Samsung smart tv's that have a microphone for Skyping. And as for mobiles: both iOS and Android phones have been compromised.
Don't forget about Alexa from Amazon and just about every other device with electrical components that you are not aware of.
Samsung, Android, iOS, Alexa...the speech recognition software for all of them comes from Nuance Communications.

A quick search shows Nuance's Global Operations Vice President, Eric Tinch, worked for nine years in the CIA (Field Operations/Special Operations). Link

I have just got home from working and starting to read over this,
So am I to believe that the CIA "could" take over control of a modern cars control system??....
If that is the case where do we lie regarding the strange situation of the incident that claimed the life of
Michael Hastings????....
Will these leaks join some dots?,

The really scary part is that the CIA seems to have free reign to spy on all of us, Americans and the rest of the world. I am pretty sure their covert activities are not done with warrants. They probably manipulate things to present evidence gained through these methods by claiming the source is classified, so as not to reveal their hacking.
