Meet the IDF-Linked Cybersecurity Group “Protecting” US Hospitals ‘Pro Bono’

With US intelligence already having conducted such “false flag” cyberattacks through its UMBRAGE program, which allows them to place the “fingerprints” of Chinese, Russian and Iranian-affiliated hackers on cyberattacks that the U.S. actually conducts, any forthcoming cyberattack should be thoroughly investigated before blame is assigned to any state actor. Any such investigation would do well to first look at whether the CTI League was given access to the targets.

Engel announces contempt proceedings against Pompeo

The chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Friday announced contempt proceedings against Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, saying the country’s top diplomat has ignored the panel’s request to investigate his conduct.

Rep. Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.) said the committee will begin drafting a resolution to hold the secretary in contempt following his refusal to provide subpoenaed documents related to an investigation into whether he has misused government resources for political reasons.

Hope you didn’t delete Fortnite or Infinity Blade because Apple just terminated Epic’s dev account

Hope you didn’t delete Fortnite or Infinity Blade because Apple just terminated Epic’s dev account

Apple’s Statement:

We are disappointed that we have had to terminate the Epic Games account on the App Store. We have worked with the team at Epic Games for many years on their launches and releases. The court recommended that Epic comply with the App Store guidelines while their case moves forward, guidelines they’ve followed for the past decade until they created this situation. Epic has refused. Instead they repeatedly submit Fortnite updates designed to violate the guidelines of the App Store. This is not fair to all other developers on the App Store and is putting customers in the middle of their fight. We hope that we can work together again in the future, but unfortunately that is not possible today.

Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War uses KGB video from 1984. Critics say it’s CIA propaganda (archived)

Yuri Bezmenov was working with the CIA when he made that interview with G. Edward Griffin* that the Alt-Right has been spamming for years. That interview is prominently featured in the trailer for the next Call of Duty game.

U.S. sanctions Russian research institute that developed Covid-19 vaccine

U.S. SANCTIONS RUSSIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE THAT DEVELOPED COVID-19 VACCINE

While Russia took a state-led approach to create a coronavirus vaccine, the Trump administration announced a “public-private partnership” in May. The program, called “Operation Warp Speed,” saw the US government dole out billions of tax dollars to Big Pharma companies.

The Trump administration awarded massive contracts to private corporations like Novavax, Pfizer, and Moderna, while Trump reportedly offered “large sums of money” for exclusive rights to a vaccine being developed by a German firm so it could be sold for profit.

But the US public-private partnership was unable to develop a vaccine before foreign countries with government-led research efforts did. Besides Russia, a state-owned Chinese company says its vaccine will be ready by the end of 2020, while Cuba is doing clinical trials for a vaccine of its own.
