“Large Scale Cybersecurity Exercise,” Postponed Due to, “Disinformation About the Purpose of the Event and Its Proximity to Election Day”
October 31st, 2024Mmm hmm. Anyone who thought that the timing of the event was strange is clearly nuts. Peddling disinformation. Probably racist. etc.
I wonder why, “A number of government agencies,” wouldn’t have been able to participate? Are they going to be busy with other pressing matters around the election? *wink*
Via: Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association International:
After careful consideration, AFCEA-Atlanta (a chapter of AFCEA International) and its event production partner Federal Business Council (FBC) are postponing the 2024 Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Conference. originally scheduled in Atlanta for November 6-7, 2024, and a pre-conference tabletop exercise during setup on the 5th. A rapid and unanticipated rise in rhetoric and threats stemming from disinformation about the purpose of the event and its proximity to Election Day contributed to the decision to postpone.
Out of an abundance of caution and because a number of government agencies are unable to participate, we made this difficult decision so that we can deliver a high-quality and meaningful event, with deep and rich engagement across industry, government and academia, and full participation by all stakeholders.

October 31st, 2024Via: PC Magazine:
Google is now using AI to write more than a quarter of its new code, according to Google and parent company Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, who shared the news during the firm’s most recent earnings call.
Google is “using AI internally to improve our coding processes, which is boosting productivity and efficiency,” Pichai said. “Today, more than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers. This helps our engineers do more and move faster.”

“Who Will Be More Servile To Israel: Trump Or Kamala?”
October 30th, 2024Via: ZeroHedge:
Many Americans are tired of the fruits of their labor being stolen to finance mass slaughter. Neither Trump nor Kamala have indicated their intent to diverge from the status quo when it comes to Israel. So the question at the center of today’s ZeroHedge debate: Who will be worse?
Independent journalist Michael Tracey, arguing Trump will be the “most fanatically pro-Israel” President ever, faced off with Harrison Smith of InfoWars who argued the former POTUS is playing politics and cannot be materially worse than the Biden-Harris coterie. Moderated by Liam McCollum of the “Human ReAction Podcast” and Mises Institute.

As the Vote Fraud Videos Begin to Emerge…
October 29th, 2024I first heard about vote fraud in the U.S. back in the early 1990s: Votescam: The Stealing of America by James M. Collier and Kenneth F. Collier.
Yes, the U.S. runs large scale illegitimate elections, and has for decades. Neither major political party seems to want to do anything about it. The situation becomes more ridiculous every election season.
I’ve posted it before and I’ll post it again:
Here is the only type of electronic voting system that should be allowed:
– Open source hardware and software.
– Cryptographic process generates one unique ballot for each verified eligible voter; only on election day, only at a polling place.
– Hard copy of unique filled-in ballot generated for voting officials and voter while votes are added to public blockchain.
– The rest of the details don’t matter because no major political party in the U.S. wants to eliminate vote fraud.
So, as the U.S. is about to go off the rails, just remember: It didn’t have to happen. (Again.) It was technically solvable. It just wasn’t politically solvable because states want a system in which the best cheater wins.
