THE WORLD’S BIGGEST HACKER

In the last week I blogged about an article making its rounds on the Internet that eventually ended up on the site of RT, Russia Today, concerning the fact that scientists as the USA's Los Alamos National Laboratories apparently have been successfully running a quantum computing version of an internet for two years. The significance, as most articles concerning the subject have mentioned, is that quantum computing would (1) move vastly more amounts of information and (2) be virtually un-hackable, which is, of course, a boon when you're running a world-wide power grab, bullion scam, and ponzi … [Read more...]

ECONOPHYSICS, AND THE PROMIS OF RIOT

Mr. P.T. brought this to my attention, and I have to comment on it. And this "having to comment" is both an interior compulsion, and a kind of moral imperative, all at once. But first, a little background. In my book Babylon's Banksters I talked about the emergence, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, of a new discipline, "econophysics," as physicists trained in quantum mechanics brought their statistical modeling methods of the interactions of multitude of particles of all sizes shapes and colors to the world of economics and finance, and thus created a new discipline. Indeed, in that … [Read more...]

IRAN ACCUSES SIEMENS OF SABOTAGING ITS NUCLEAR EQUIPMENT

If you've been following the ongoing nuclear soap opera regarding Iran's nuclear program, then maybe you missed this one: Iran Accuses German Siemens Of Sabotaging Its Nuclear Plant As Turkey Sends Heavy Weapons To Syria Border Now, I've been maintaining for many many years that Germany is one of those "crypto-nuclear" powers, and indeed, have posted a number of articles here about their capabilities. Siemens is one of those companies that was heavily involved in Germany's postwar nuclear industry. Zero Hedge's conclusions here are, in my opinion, entirely correct: "...after Stuxnet … [Read more...]

GERMANY SEEKING TO DEVELOP SPYWARE

Well this one, folks, is reeeeeaaaaalllly interesting! As usual, Russia Today manages to report on the intriguing stories, and this one really made me sit up and take notice. First, the article, then I'll do my usual speculation on what it might portend: Want to make international friends and fight crime? Join German FBI! Now, the question is, why would Germany, be putting out such a call now, and doing so, so publicly? It boggles the mind to assume that Germany, one of the world's more technologically sophisticated nations, would (1) not have people in its security and intelligence … [Read more...]

FROM CYBORG TO CYBER: RUSSIA, THE INTERNET, AND A REVISIT OF THE FAREWELL CASE

Now, this is going to be a complicated blog...I know this as I sit down to compose it, because I've had this percolating in the back of my mind ever since I saw an article that a friend (Mr. V.T.) sent to me, and began to muse on its deeper possibilities, implications, and the geopolitical context that nurtured it. So, first, let's deal with the geopolitical context. As my friend Dr Scott DeHart and I pointed out in Yahweh The Two-Faced God, much of British, and then American, geopolitics has been obsessed with the idea of dominating that vast Eurasian heartland running from the plains of … [Read more...]

ROBOTRADING: A DISCUSSION THAT IS NEEDED, AND SOME SPECULATIONS: PART TWO

Yesterday I talked about high frequency trading, or algorithmic trading, or what I prefer to call "robotrading" for reasons that will, I hope, become clear in this little blog. And I ended on a note yesterday that indicated that there was a possibly darker, murkier side to the phenomenon, one that invited discussion and speculation. Well, yesterday was the discussion, and today is the speculation. The phenomenon of high frequency algorithmic trading immediately opens up potentialities for cyber-warfare, sophisticated computer programs deliberately designed to play havoc with a commodities … [Read more...]

UPDATE: AURORA SHOOTING, BANKSTERS, AND SPECULATIONS

As I mentioned yesterday in my News and Views from the Nefarium, July 26, 2012, the unraveling of the "official line" of what happened during the Batman Movie Theater Murders is happening almost as soon as the cloth is woven. The bizarre anomalies surrounding James Holmes, the alleged perpetrator, only grow, and we all know, by now, what at least a few of them are. But now there's this rather stunning revelation: KingCast and Mortgage Movies remain pensive as James Holmes' father, Robert Holmes, is set to provide crippling info. on Libor & other banking scandals. If true, then there … [Read more...]

NY TIMES AND PHYS.ORG: STUXNET VIRUS PART OF US-ISRAELI CYBER-WAR

An article over at phys.org from June 4, a little over a month ago, outlines the growing and almost certain case that the stuxnet virus was part of a covert cyber-warfare plan, developed during the G.W. Bush Administration and continued under the Obama Administration, to interfere with Iran's uranium enrichment program: Stuxnet's origins decoded: Now we know who did it, but what does it mean? The implications are spelled out here, but perhaps the most chilling paragraph in this article containing many significant observations and implications, is this: "Does resolving the attribution … [Read more...]

WARNING FROM FORBES MAGAZINE: THE CYBER-CHICKENS MAY COME HOME TO ROOST

Years ago, during the first Reagan Administration, a work of fiction appeared called Soft War. It was a novel on how very clever American computer experts could sneak a few lines of code into computer software, code that would allow cyber-spying on the Soviet Union, or, optimally, even allow technocrats in the USA to "push a button" and shut down some aspect of the Russian infrastructure, government, military, or economy. Of course, those familiar with the history of the allegations surrounding the INSLAW scandal will be familiar with the fact that that is apparently what actually happened. … [Read more...]

INDIA SEEKS US TECHNOLOGY TO TRACK COUNTERFEITS

As most of you know, I've been following the alleged counterfeit bearer bond story for some time now, since at the minimum it indicates that there is at least a major market for such things, and major players behind their manufacture. But there's another side to this counterfeiting story, and that is the state- or other organization-sponsored counterfeiting of currency, which seems, in India's case, to have reached serious proportions: India looks at the US to check fake currency notes The U.S., as the article notes, has a massive database of counterfeit notes - including photographs - … [Read more...]
