this combined w other pieces of software like pegasus, it's clear that the isrealis have positioned themselves at the confluence of software & espionage in a similar way that taiwan positioned itself to exist at the center of the microelectronics world.

There might actually be a direct relationship there as well. Taiwan being the chokepoint for western chip production puts them in a perfect position to insert backdoors into all western tech. There's a reason the US was freaking out over Huawei tech spreading in the west. The problem with it isn't that there's some Chinese malware in it, but rather that western agencies can't use it for spying.

part of me is glad the the chinese didn't insist on the tariffs on chip making; but as someone with a very slightly above average passing familiarity w the industry; i'm aware that it's going to take them decades to catch up using the methods that the united states employs.

given the extent at which the epstein files shows us how much in the palm of their hands we exist, it's become my sincere hope that they're able to bridge the gap more quickly somehow. however, given their anemic responses to venezuela or cuba or the reversal of the tide of their belt & road initiatives in asia and latin america (and soon africa), i'm not sure it'll make much of a difference.

too few of us are applying what we've learned from those files and combining it with what the marxists have already revealed, but we can do little more than watch the overwhelming majority double down on the red vs blue team fights as well as blame russia for epstein illuminati's existence.

technology has been the most impactful reason -- by far


for why the phrase "ruling class" entered into american mainstream consciousness and gave us the opportunity to temporarily pierce this self imposed veil and i don't doubt that the other illuminati groups referenced in the latest batch of files have already enacted plans to close this breach.

like almost everything else, the only way to shut it down is to stop participating with it.

that means individuals either have to stop using linkedin & smartphones or perpetually stay informed about how to effectively counteract it.

This phrase is related to the Zionism Occupation Government theory (alas, at this point it's barely a theory and is almost a fact)

Founded in 2019 in Israel, Paragon markets Graphite as sophisticated surveillance software, granting remote access to cell phones. Dubbed “mercenary spyware,” it infiltrates devices without user interaction, extracting messages from apps like WhatsApp and Signal, stored data, and live communications.

Why is the image from the moba game paragon by epic games. It has nothing to do with it, or are writers just lazy.

How does a zero click hack even work? Let's assume the ISPs and phone companies are all willing to collaborate on an attack against you, your Signal chats are still local and encrypted, how do they get in?

[–] domdanial@reddthat.com 5 points 16 hours ago

Zero click hacks often find exploits in the victims OS, places where protocols run automatically. Stuff like Bluetooth device identification, wifi, sms protocols. I'm certainly no expert, but they are rare and highly coveted, and nation-states spend a lot of resources finding them. Ethical hackers also look for them, to notify the software/hardware creators and get them fixed.
