How Is The CIA Still A Thing?

Citing “conversations with more than 30 former U.S. officials,” a new report by Yahoo News has confirmed earlier allegations that the Central Intelligence Agency not only spied on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and his associates, but also drew up plans for kidnapping, renditioning, and assassinating him.

These plans were reportedly made in coordination with the Trump White House as then-CIA Director Mike Pompeo and then-Deputy CIA Director Gina Haspel raged over WikiLeaks’ 2017 Vault 7 release which revealed that the CIA had lost control of an enormous digital arsenal of hacking tools. These included tools which enabled the surveillance of smartphones, smart TVs and web browsers, the hacking of computerized vehicle control systems, and the ability to frame foreign governments for cyber attacks by inserting the digital “fingerprints” of the hacking methods they employ for investigators to find. It was the single largest data leak in CIA history.

Normally we have to wait decades for confirmation that the CIA did something nefarious, and then people absurdly assume that such things no longer occur because it was so long ago, and because changing your worldview is uncomfortable. But here we are with an extensively sourced report that the agency plotted to kidnap, rendition and assassinate a journalist for publishing authentic documents in the public interest, just four years after the fact.

12 best private search engines to use

Do you think searching on Google merely in incognito mode actually keeps your searches private? Not really. No matter which search engines you use, your searches are never private unless you seek more secure alternatives.

When someone refers to search engines, you can safely assume they are talking about Google. As of June 2021 statistics, it attracts 95.08% of mobile search traffic worldwide. While the laptop/desktop share of Google stands at a slightly lower number being 87.32%, it is still the leading search engine there, too.

According to the industry estimates by the Internet Live Stats, Google handles almost 3.5 billion searches a day on average. And the number of people using the search giant daily comes to more or less 1.7 billion.

These stats show how dominant Google is in the market. Also, this hints at the potential treasure trove of data Google holds because, as you’d already know, it tracks your searches.

But that doesn’t make it the only search engine responsible for breaching users’ privacy. Rather, the relatively less popular tools like Yahoo, Bing, and others also practice the same money-making strategy, i.e., monetizing users’ data.

Precisely, all the top search engines like Google serve as data compilation tools for advertising companies helping them go on you with targeted ads.

Therefore, unless you use a secure search engine, your information ends up in the hand of a third party, and you (the user) becomes the product.

HATE HOAX: Black employee arrested over racist graffiti on Emory University building

Suspected vandal Roy Lee Gordon Jr., an-ex Emory University employee and black man, has been arrested for allegedly spraying racist graffiti at his workplace.

In what appears to be another incident in a string of hate hoaxes in the past several months, the former part-time Emory staff member is accused of vandalizing the university’s Autism Center with racist and antisemitic graffiti in early August.

According to the Daily Wire, racial slurs were written near the workspace occupied by two African-American women. There was also a swastika painted near the office of a Jewish individual. In addition, a glass door had been ruined and nearby vending machines were damaged.

At the time of the vandalism’s discovery, the private Atlanta school issued an impassioned Aug. 20 statement. “These acts of racism and antisemitism are painful for all of us at the EAC and in the Emory community. They will not be tolerated, and every effort will be made to bring the perpetrators to justice,” Emory University officials said of the crimes perpetrated on the weekend of Aug. 7 and 8.

After the alleged perpetrator was arrested, a milder message was released:

“Emory University is committed to fostering a safe and inclusive campus for all faculty, staff, students, patients and their families.”

A police mugshot published by the Atlanta Journal Constitution shows that Gordon is black, the first time his race has been revealed publicly.

However, the university still shies away from noting the suspect’s race.

Eco-warriors Meghan and Harry return to California in private jet after VIP woke tour of NYC: Duchess’s OTT outfits and Harry’s mystery wire suggest that the real reason for bizarre trip was content for their Netflix series

Harry and Meghan have touched down in Santa Barbara, California to be reunited with their children Archie and Lilibet after their whirlwind tour of New York – after a wire poking out of Harry’s pocket suggests the trip will be part of their multi-million dollar Netflix deal.

Exclusive pictures obtained by DailyMail.com show the Duke and Duchess of Sussex returning home Saturday night.

Touching down in their private jet, the virtue signaling couple and fossil fueled ‘eco-warriors’ embraced members of staff who had accompanied them on the pseudo royal tour before heading back to their Montecito mansion.

Landing back in California late Saturday Meghan, 40, ditched the block color power dressing that saw some social media users mock her as a Michelle Obama wannabe.

Instead, she appeared casual and relaxed, dressed in loose camel sweater and black pants as she embraced the members of staff who constitute the retired royals’ neo ‘court’ for the trip that began Thursday morning, with a visit to the World Trade Center memorial and Freedom Tower in the company of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and the state’s new governor Kathy Hochul.

Meghan look-a-like, and head of the couple’s PR Christine Schirmer was among the staff whom the Sussex fondly hugged goodbye at Santa Barbara’s private airport Saturday.

The former Silicon valley big-wig was recently appointed by the couple having worked at Pinterest until last summer. She is a fellow Northwestern University graduate like Meghan.

Harry, 37, was also low-key when he touched down on the west coast last night, swapping his New York suits for navy jeans, a light casual sweater and buff suede boots as he arrived laden with bags which he loaded into a waiting Jeep.

Earlier, the couple had wrapped up their three-day stint on the East coast with an appearance on stage at Central Park’s Global Citizens Festival, dubbed ‘Wokestock.’

People Don’t Understand How Unfree We Already Are

The biggest and most widespread blind spot among those who oppose totalitarian control by the powerful is the assumption that it has not already been achieved.

We’ve been so busy watching out for the next overtly totalitarian dictatorship that wants to put the jackboot on our necks we never noticed the covert totalitarians sliding the shackles around our minds.

Everyone thinks about the abusers who beat their spouses, but not the abusers who dominate their spouses’ minds with psychological manipulation.

Everyone thinks about psychopathic killers prowling the streets, but not the psychopathic killers who rule our world via mass-scale manipulation.

Conspiracy analysts warn that the government is trying to give everyone a social credit score to force us all to comply with the agendas of the powerful, in nations where mass-scale narrative management through the media and online algorithms already manipulates everyone into complying with the agendas of the powerful.

People assume that they aren’t already behaving exactly how the powerful want them to behave within a civilization whose political, monetary and economic systems are already completely under the control of the powerful.

People think they are free just because they can go and buy whatever they want in an economy rigged for the powerful using money rigged for the powerful, because they can say whatever they want on internet platforms whose algorithms are manipulated by the powerful, because they can vote for a politician who only got on the ballot by being owned by the powerful.

People think they are free because the system let them elect a “populist” like Donald Trump, even after that “populist” spent four years doing nothing but advancing the interests of the powerful.

People think they are free because the system lets them elect “progressives” like Bernie Sanders and AOC, even though those “progressives” always stop short when it comes time to challenge real power.

People spent generations arguing for the right to own guns so they can defend themselves against tyranny while the iron bars of tyranny were quietly being constructed around them the entire time.

Western leftists are so busy arguing with each other that they haven’t noticed that the left has been so effectively sabotaged, hijacked, subverted and neutered in our society that it is now little more than a glorified group chat.

It’s time to end vaccination thuggery

A funeral home caused quite the stir in North Carolina with a black truck pitching the message “Don’t Get Vaccinated.” It would have been bad enough if there actually were a Wilmore Funeral Home advertising such content. As it happens, there is no such establishment as the Wilmore Funeral Home. The rolling billboard is the brainchild of the BooneOakley ad agency. Apparently, David Oakley, the agency director, was so frustrated at his fellow citizens for making their own health choices that he concocted this method of trying to shame them into participating in the medical experiment known as the Covid vaccine.

David Oakley is not alone in bullying those who do not agree with the hypothetical benefits of mRNA vaccines. The Cleveland Clinic released a study in June that showed no advantage in vaccinating people who had recovered from Covid. This is the last thing true believers in mRNA vaccines want to hear, and it didn’t take long before the Cleveland Clinic was forced to issue a retraction that recommended vaccination.

What makes this especially alarming is the science that has emerged since the rollout of the vaccines. The FDA issued an emergency authorization in December. By June, the Delta variant emerged and Israel, the most vaccinated country in the world, became the most infected country in the world.

Just a few months later, the virus mutated again into MU, which appears to be vaccine-resistant. The latest variant, R.1, caused an outbreak in a nursing home where 90% of the residents and over 50% of the staff were vaccinated. Twenty-six residents and twenty staff members were infected. One died. The evidence seems to point to a possibility that rather than stopping Covid, widespread vaccination is driving dangerous mutations of Covid.

CIA was ready to wage gun battle in London streets against Russian operatives to kill or snatch Assange, bombshell report claims

Under Obama, the CIA wanted to define Julian Assange and other journalists as “information brokers” in order to ramp up their spying on them. And during the Trump era, it prepared plans to abduct or kill the WikiLeaks founder.

The claims about the extraordinary lengths to which the CIA under Director Mike Pompeo were prepared to go to get Assange were made on Sunday in a Yahoo News report based on interviews with more than 30 former US officials. The report offers an insight into how the US national security apparatus was escalating its war with WikiLeaks under two consecutive US administrations.

At the peak of preparations for hostilities in 2017, the CIA was allegedly expecting Russian agents to help Assange flee the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. In such a contingency, the Americans, together with the British, were planning to engage in street battles against the Russians, potentially starting a firefight, ramming a Russian diplomatic vehicle, or shooting at the tires of a Russian plane to prevent it from lifting off, the story said. The attempt to spring Assange was reportedly expected on Christmas Eve.

“It was beyond comical,” a former senior official told the outlet regarding the situation in the vicinity of the embassy at the time. “It got to the point where every human being in a three-block radius was working for one of the intelligence services – whether they were street sweepers or police officers or security guards.”

The CIA was also deliberating plans to kill Assange and other members of WikiLeaks, the report said. Alternatively, the agency was considering snatching him from the embassy and bringing him to the US, or handing him over to the British authorities. At the time, the UK wanted Assange for skipping bail in an extradition trial on a request from Sweden – a case that has since been dropped.

The possibility of carrying out a successful rendition or assassination were described as “ridiculous” by one intelligence official, because of the location. “This isn’t Pakistan or Egypt – we’re talking about London,” the source was quoted as saying. There was also resistance in the Trump administration because such an operation might be deemed illegal under US law. A source said using CIA powers meant only for spy-versus-spy activities would be “the same kind of crap we pulled in the War on Terror.”

That racist chick from ASU who went viral yesterday? She wasn’t an undergrad… she was a Ford Fellow

If you were online yesterday, odds are that you saw this 2 minute clip of a woman freaking out on Arizona State University (ASU) campus. It was covered by Tucker Carlson, Newsweek, The Post Millenial, EJMR, and received untold millions of views across Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook.

Wow. Screaming at a stranger in the library because you don’t like his sticker. What a terrible person. Side note: these harpies are surely the exact same people demanding that you “trust the science” on Covid.

As luck would have it, my article about the Ford Foundation Fellowship Program also went viral yesterday.

My first reaction upon seeing the ASU video was to shrug it off — another immature, overzealous, brainwashed, 18 year-old freshman who is parroting woke buzzword gumbo. Yawn, just a kid. I was content to leave it alone. She is much too dumb to be held responsible for her actions, and besides, she was probably stressed out over exams or boys or something.

Alas, the twitter mob was not willing to leave it alone. They exposed her as Sarra Tekola, PhD student in Sustainability at ASU. I was shocked and horrified to learn that she was, in fact, already grown up! Judging by her LinkedIn profile she is pushing 30, and therefore ostensibly possesses a fully developed frontal cortex. I was all of a sudden punching sideways, not punching down. Her LinkedIn also reveals an interesting link.
