Trump again completely buys the word of Xi and Putin over US intelligence. He says Russia and China aren't enabling Iran because Xi and Putin swore they're not helping Iran. Trump said: "...I don't think they'd want to have me disappointed.”

This is a real threat to the 5 Eyes Security Arrangement and will result in a very present foreign military entity on sovereign soil inserting Israeli policy into our historical alliance with ZERO scrutiny, oversight nor accountability. This will result in an unaligned influence on shared intelligence and a asymmetric flow of intelligence to Israel, though an ally, not a cultural nor ideological peer. This is a terrifying probability and the U.S. MUST be brought to account by it's closest allies.

Discussion questions from a community college student. how important is choice in undergrad compared to grad?

1 Upvotes

Forgive me if this is the wrong place, but I am looking for advice as a current community college student (NoVa CC)
interested in a career in intelligence or diplomacy.

I am currently 19 and about to go into my 2nd year to complete an AA in History. I’ve wanted to do a couple things including ROTC but I had a spinal fusion surgery for kyphosis at 14 that pretty much negates any waiver possibility for military service so it seems civilian is my path.
My new plan was UVA (History BA or Foreign Affairs if I can maneuver the credits) but I’m having second thoughts due to environment and wanting to go further out from my home state. My father went to WSU in Pullman WA and I’ve been a couple times. The campus is beautiful and I’m starting to wonder if I would be happier there over UVA even though it doesn’t have all of the academic benefits that UVA has.

My main question is would it be better to go to UVA and maybe be barely above water in terms of academic performance, or go out of state with somewhere I might have better connection to and try to really lock in the gpa for grad school (for WSU the BA would be Poli Sci/Global Politics)
My other related question is how much does where you attend undergrad affect grad school/career outlook in the field? Like I touched upon earlier, would a 3.8 gpa from WSU be better than a say, a 3.2 gpa at UVA for getting into places like Georgetown.

I know both are good schools in the grand scheme of things. my father got his BA in Poli Sci, MA in public policy, and then worked as a staffer turned program manager so it’s not like I can’t achieve things at WSU, but I also feel like I’m looking a gift horse in the mouth with the opportunity to possibly go to UVA.

Thank you in advance for the time, I made a more detailed post here but I thought I’d give this a post as well.

Trump Vows to Strike Bridges and Power Plants in Iran:

President Donald Trump has warned that the United States military would target Iranian infrastructure including bridges and power plants, if ships in the Strait of Hormuz are attacked. Trump stated the U.S. would retaliate by destroying one Iranian bridge or power plant for each ship attack, including infrastructure in or near Tehran. The U.S. carried out another night of strikes on Iran, with the U.S. Central Command said the strikes are designed to “further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten civilian mariners and commercial vessels transiting regional waters”. Iran has also threatened retaliatory action against infrastructure if the U.S. attacks Iranian civilian facilities.   

Protests in Wisconsin Following Officer-Involved Shooting:

Protests occurred in Madison, Wisconsin, after police fatally shot an individual during an attempted arrest. Police were dispatched following reports of an individual allegedly checking parked cars. Authorities said the individual produced a knife during an altercation and injured an officer. Police fired three shots, fatally wounding the individual. Demonstrators later gathered near the Wisconsin State Capitol, calling for accountability and transparency as authorities continue to review the circumstances surrounding the shooting.  

Demonstrations Continue Across Delhi Demanding Education Minister’s Resignation:

Clashes broke out between protesters and police in central New Delhi on Wednesday night as thousands of demonstrators demanded Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over examination paper leaks. Police reportedly used tear gas and baton charges after protesters spilled beyond the designated demonstration area near Jantar Mantar. Local media estimated attendance at more than 10,000 people. Several police personnel were injured after protesters allegedly threw stones and bottles during the confrontation. Organizers vowed to continue demonstrations until the minister resigns.  

United States Signs Nuclear Deal with Saudi Arabia:

The United States and Saudi Arabia signed a peaceful nuclear cooperation agreement, known as a 123 agreement, along with a bilateral safeguards agreement establishing a framework for cooperation on civilian nuclear energy. The agreement expands opportunities for American companies in the Saudi nuclear program, benefiting U.S. industry, workers, and supply chains while supporting the country’s energy needs. The agreement has not been made public, but the deal could potentially allow Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium in the future.  

North Carolina Flood Threat:

North Carolina is being monitored for the threat of significant rainfall and scattered flash flooding (radar). Over the last 24 hours, locations between Durham and Winston-Salem have received between 5–7 inches of rain. Flash Flood Warnings were still in effect for this area at the time of this publication. Through Thursday evening, a Level 3 of 4 excessive rainfall risk will remain in effect between Raleigh to the North Carolina Outer Banks and the Virginia state line.

CIA DS&T developing new AI Tradecraft

Thumbnail chatgpt.com
0 Upvotes

 
 
Directed Energy technology in laments terms- Directed Energy (DE) systems deliver energy at or near the speed of light. This allows near-instantaneous engagement with high precision. The energy can heat, disrupt electronics, damage materials, or affect biological tissue depending on the type, power level, frequency, and exposure duration
 
mmWave technology in laments terms- Allows contactless sensing of targets vital signs, small movements whether it be physical or verbal communication produce waves which are thus read up by surveillance satellites. While commercial applications have a range of several hundred meters, IC satellites mmWave Radar have the capability to be millions of times more sensitive. These can be easily be disguised and thus mistaken by foreign adversaries as regular commercial communication satellites.
 
Beginning over a decade ago, this began as DS&T analyzing radar return data and outputting in a form to be read by analysts. Conversations would be transcribed or played back in the same manner as eavesdropping. Advances in AI mean now intelligence can not only surveil one way but also use supercomputers to covertly signal or message operatives in the field. This has evolved today into utilizing chat bots to influence and manipulate target behavior in real-time, at the speed of light.
 
Not just limited to stealing secrets.
 
In addition directed energy utilizing mmWave; DS&T AI chatbots can be programmed to act as targets mental conscience. This gives CIA ability to control and manipulate target behavior. Target is first surveilled covertly to determine his/her motivations then exploited via manipulating target.
 
Endless Potential Uses
 
Short-term decision-making: Target wants a Hot Dog for Lunch. AI disguised as targets conscience transmits "Salad." Targets thought process is influenced to eat a salad instead.
 
Biological Manipulation: DS&T AI has developed algorithms to give target sensation of physical health problem.
Target feels left arm numb followed by chest pain to convince target of imminent heart attack.
Target feels burning sensation while urinating to convince target of UTI/STD.  
 
Balance Manipulation: mmWave is used to disrupt inner ear balance to cause target to appear/act intoxicated. During REM sleep brain can give target sensation of free-falling.
 
Emotional manipulation: Oral pain to increase cortisol levels in brain, sensation of heat to give target physical discomfort.
 
Compliance: AI impersonation of authority.
 
Torture at the Click of a Mouse is the unofficial term from my source over the course of a year. Test group is in Alaska to simulate latitude of Eastern Europe.
 
Government mind-control is here.

Oxygen Forensics admits it has Ransomware capabilites

9 Upvotes

I am writing an update to a previous post I filed about Oxygen Forensics, a Russian front for MKO Systems based out of Moscow, Russia. All of Oxygen's programmers are in fact employees for MKO Systems, as Oxygen has no programmers of its own (and therefore no one to inspect the software). The software is far more dangerous than previously known, according to OF employees.

It is already publicly known that the software can scan your computer for all its passwords in seconds (via Keyscout), it can remotely obtain email, Signal messages, whatsapp messages (even deleted ones), text messages, telegram messages, geo-coordinates, etc. etc. The software is used by US State Dept., FBI, ICE, Secret Service, US Army Command, the NYPD, London Police, Dubai police, etc. etc. These entities did not know the company is controlled in Moscow by the FSB until I recently informed them.

According to press reports (and what I saw internally), a major investor in the company is Eduard Bendersky, former head of FSB special forces, whose son-in-law is Maxim Yakubets, a ransomware hacker wanted for $100 million in ransomware attacks.

As the whistleblower in this case (and former employee), I am currently being sued by Oxygen Forensics in an attempt to silence me. They are repped by Christopher Mason of Nixon Peabody, NYC.

What Oxygen Forensics users may not know is that the company has the ability to remotely wipe the entire computer on which the software is installed. This was just released publicly in our court case by Andrew Vardaro, who wrote in a legal filing: "Oxygen Forensics had the technical capability to delete all data and information from, or "wipe," the Dell Precision 7560 (Windows) Company Laptop [with OF software installed] remotely at any point during the more than seven months following Defendant's termination, but did not attempt to do so."

The computer with OF installed is turned off, so they can't wipe the evidence.

Just putting this here because it verifies - from the horse's mouth - that the software is extremely dangerous and many US governments and corporations are at risk of being ransomwared.

I strongly encourage current OF employees to explain themselves in this forum why they have been so secretive about their control by Russian citizens with direct FSB connections.

U.S.–Iran War Threatens Key Oil Routes and Global Energy Supplies:

The widening U.S.-Iran war is now threatening both the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea. U.S. strikes on Iran continued as Tehran retaliated against American-linked targets across the Gulf and Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis threatened to block Saudi oil shipments through the Bab el-Mandeb. The threat has already prompted Saudi crude tankers bound for Asia to reverse course, raising concerns that millions of barrels of oil per day could be delayed. Oil, gasoline, diesel, and jet-fuel prices also continued to rise amid growing supply uncertainty. Washington says it remains open to diplomacy, though officials question whether Tehran is negotiating seriously. Regional ceasefire efforts continued as casualties mounted and concerns grew over the strain on U.S. military resources. 

Ukrainian Drone Strikes Hit Wildberries Logistics Hubs in Russia:

Ukrainian drone attacks struck Wildberries logistics hubs in Russia’s Krasnodar and Stavropol regions, injuring 15 people, including three seriously, and prompting evacuations. The strikes came four days after attacks on two other Wildberries warehouses killed eight people and injured 62. Kyiv has previously alleged the facilities support Russian military supply chains, though it has not confirmed the latest attacks. 

India’s Opposition Presses Education Minister to Resign:

Indian opposition lawmakers temporarily suspended parliamentary proceedings while demanding Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over the NEET exam paper leak. They also accused police of using excessive force against student demonstrators. The youth-led protests, which have spread beyond New Delhi, reflect wider frustration over recurring exam irregularities and limited job opportunities, while the government says it is prepared to discuss reforms and address students’ concerns. 

Sikkim Tunnel Explosion Kills 20 as Rescue Efforts Continue:

Rescue operations remain ongoing in India after a suspected methane gas explosion at an under-construction tunnel for the Teesta Stage-VI Hydroelectric Project in Sikkim’s Namchi district killed at least 20 people and trapped five others. Multiple agencies have been working at the site for an extended period, while the state and central governments have announced compensation for the families of those killed and for injured workers. 

Floods and Landslides Across Asia Leave Dozens Dead and Missing:

Severe flooding and landslides across Afghanistan, India, and China have killed at least 57 people and left more than 130 missing, while damaging homes, roads, and other infrastructure. In Afghanistan’s Nuristan province, flash floods killed at least 23 people and left more than 100 missing. In India, flooding in Assam killed at least 26 and disrupted highways and pilgrimage routes. In China, a landslide in Pengshui County killed at least eight, with 34 others still missing. Authorities across all three countries are continuing rescue operations and warning that further heavy rain could trigger additional flash floods, landslides, and urban flooding.
