SolarWinds Hack Compromised Dept of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration
December 19th, 2020Via: Register:
America’s nuclear weapons agency was hacked by the suspected Russian spies who backdoored SolarWinds’ IT monitoring software and compromised several US government bodies, and Microsoft was caught up in the same cyber-storm, too, it was reported Thursday.
The Windows giant uses SolarWinds’ network management suite Orion, downloads of which were secretly trojanized earlier this year so that when installed within certain targets – such as the US government departments of State, Treasury, Homeland Security, and Commerce – the malicious code’s masterminds could slip into their victims’ networks, execute commands, read emails, steal data, and so on.
Reuters said Microsoft’s security was “breached” by the same crew, and implied this was achieved either through Orion, or some other means, pointing out Homeland Security warned that the hackers, thought to be the Kremlin’s APT29 aka Cozy Bear team, have found multiple ways into various organizations.
While Microsoft’s comms veep Frank Shaw confirmed the Redmond mega-corp is a SolarWinds user and had installed the tainted Orion updates, he said no evidence could be found that production systems and customer data was accessed by the suspected Russian foreign intelligence snoops. The PR chief also denied the newswire’s claim that Microsoft’s platforms were commandeered to hack its own customers.
Cornell Postdoc Detects Possible Exoplanet Radio Emission
December 18th, 2020Via: Cornell University:
By monitoring the cosmos with a radio telescope array, an international team of scientists has detected radio bursts emanating from the constellation Boötes – that could be the first radio emission collected from a planet beyond our solar system.
The team, led by Cornell postdoctoral researcher Jake D. Turner, Philippe Zarka of the Observatoire de Paris – Paris Sciences et Lettres University and Jean-Mathias Griessmeier of the Université d’Orléans will publish their findings in the forthcoming research section of Astronomy & Astrophysics, on Dec. 16.
“We present one of the first hints of detecting an exoplanet in the radio realm,” Turner said. “The signal is from the Tau Boötes system, which contains a binary star and an exoplanet. We make the case for an emission by the planet itself. From the strength and polarization of the radio signal and the planet’s magnetic field, it is compatible with theoretical predictions.”
Pentagon Abruptly Halts Biden Transition Briefings
December 18th, 2020Via: ZeroHedge:
Biden’s team is directly contradicting an earlier statement by Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller which sought to severely downplay the controversy, claiming Biden transition officials had agreed to a holiday “break” in DoD intelligence briefings. “There was no mutually agreed upon holiday break” for transition briefings, Biden’s spokesman Yohannes Abraham has stated pushing back against Miller’s explanation.
“We were concerned to learn this week about an abrupt halt” in cooperation, Biden’s team said at a Friday briefing, and underscored the alarming move reflects “isolated resistance in some quarters, including from political appointees within the Department of Defense.”
It comes after Trump admin officials were reportedly enraged over alleged leaks from the Biden transition team designed to embarrass Trump politically.
Researchers Warn Some Covid-19 Vaccines Could Increase Risk Of HIV Infection
December 17th, 2020Via: Forbes:
Some of the Covid-19 vaccines currently in development could increase the risk of acquiring HIV, warned a group of researchers in the The Lancet medical journal Monday, potentially leading to an increase in infections as vaccines are rolled out to vulnerable populations around the world.
University Medical Center of El Paso Fakes Injecting COVID19 Vaccine Into Health Worker
December 16th, 2020Via: KSTM:
Some of our viewers raised questions about video KTSM 9 News showed from Tuesday’s COVID-19 vaccine injections at University Medical Center of El Paso, specifically the second vaccine that was administered.
In our video, you can see the UMC health care worker with his sleeve rolled up, but when it comes time for the injection, it appears that the person administering the shot doesn’t push down on the plunger — the plunger looks like it is already depressed.
Some eagle-eyed KTSM 9 News viewers wondered if the worker received the vaccine at all.
KTSM reached out to UMC — on Tuesday a UMC spokesperson maintained that all five health care workers were given full doses of the vaccine, and the hospital agreed to take a closer look at our video.
The hospital responded that the nurse whose shot was questioned has received a second dose to eliminate any doubts that he was vaccinated.
Police Launch Investigation Into Death of Vaccine Safety Advocate Brandy Vaughn
December 16th, 2020Via: Children’s Health Defense:
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office Monday announced it is investigating the sudden death of Brandy Vaughn, a well-known Pharma whistleblower and advocate for vaccine safety, who died Dec. 7.
A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office said in a statement that investigators won’t determine the cause of Vaughn’s death until the completion of a pending toxicology screening, a process that normally takes 4 – 6 weeks.
Brandy’s death was originally reported as resulting from gallbladder complications. But many of her friends and co-activists in the vaccine safety movement suspect foul play. Those suspicions have gained traction due to a wave of mysterious deaths — many of them violent —among alternative and integrative medical doctors in recent years. In response to this trend, Brandy made a Facebook post almost exactly a year before her death in which she said, “If something were to happen to me, I have arranged for a close group of my friends … to hire a team of private investigators to figure out all the details …”
Here’s what Brandy’s Facebook post said on Dec. 1, 2019:
The post I wish didn’t have to write…
But given certain sudden tragedies over the last couple of years, I feel it’s absolutely necessary to post these ten facts…and please screenshot this for the record. ?
I’ve NEVER had any thoughts of taking my own life, not once, ever. Even before I had my son.
I have a huge mission in this life. Even when they make it very difficult and scary, I would NEVER take my own life. Period.
Bastien means everything to me and I would NEVER leave him. Period. I have sole custody and he needs me as much as I need him. I would NEVER think of leaving him for a second.
I have NEVER been on an anti-depressant nor been diagnosed as depressed — don’t believe it if you ever hear anything like this.
I’ve NEVER taken a daily pharmaceutical drug. And I haven’t taken any pharmaceuticals in 10 years (and ten years ago it was one pill, one day). Nothing over the counter, nothing by prescription. In other words, I’m not on anything that could kill me unexpectedly or suddenly. I’ve never done illegal drugs either. Not even once.
There’s no way anyone could get into my house, no robbers, no angry exes (which I don’t have btw), no fanatical people — my house is like Fort Knox…unless it was someone super professional. It just wouldn’t be possible for anyone without highly special equipment and tactics (I.e. remotely taking down my high-level security system, which they have done before, unfortunately). But my place is also highly secure in a hard-wired kinda way. So even if the power was out, most people could still never get in.
If something were to happen to me, it’s foul play and you know exactly who and why — given my work and mission in this life. I’m also NOT accident prone. And I got the highest health rating possible when I went through a battery of medical tests a couple of years ago for my life insurance policy.
If something were to happen to me, I have arranged for a close group of my friends to start a GoFundMe to hire a team of private investigators to figure out all the details (I have the team and have passed the info on to them). Oh, and money for a PR firm to make It national news. There would be a press release sent to every journalist in this country (and more). It would not be swept under the rug, and it would be their worst nightmare.
There have been many on this mission or a similar one that have been killed and it’s time this bullshit stopped. The darkness cannot win.
I will NEVER stop speaking out for those who no longer can. Even if from the other side, where I imagine I would be FAR MORE powerful.
Artificial Intelligence Takes Control Of A U-2 Spy Plane’s Sensors In Historic Flight Test
December 16th, 2020Via: The Warzone:
Artificial intelligence-driven algorithms controlled sensor and navigation systems on a U.S. Air Force U-2S Dragon Lady spy plane in a flight test yesterday. The service says that this is the first time that artificial intelligence has been “safely” put in charge of any U.S. military system and appears to be the first time it has been utilized on a military aircraft anywhere in the world, at least publicly.
The test, which took place on Dec. 15, 2020, involved a U-2S from the 9th Reconnaissance Wing at Beale Air Force Base in California. The Air Force has dubbed the artificial intelligence (AI) software package as ARTUµ, the latest in a string of references to the iconic droid from the Star Wars universe, who serves as a sort of robotic flight engineer and navigator, in recent Air Force projects having to do with developments in AI and autonomous flight.
Alaska: Health Worker Hospitalized After Serious Allergic Reaction From Pfizer’s Coronavirus Vaccine

It was not clear if the person had a history of allergic reactions, the report said.
2020 Election Investigative Documentary: Who’s Stealing America?
December 16th, 2020The source of this documentary film is Epoch Times, which is run by Falun Gong. I’m posting this for a few reasons.
1) It summarizes much of the fraud related to the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election.
2) Facebook and YouTube are actively banning this film, even though it’s mostly investigative journalism and political analysis. The fact that it was produced by a Falun Gong propaganda outlet doesn’t bother me because I treat all sources as propaganda and consider information independently from the source. There is a lot of valuable information here.
3) The mainstream media have either ignored this information, or written it off as conspiracy theories, fake news, etc.
If you’re like me, you don’t like Trump and you don’t like Biden. Maybe you do like Trump or Biden. Maybe you believe in Santa Claus. It doesn’t matter.
What we all need to understand is this: Anyone who is claiming that Biden won this thing without massive, coordinated fraud is either an idiot or in on the scam.
Watch the film at the original source link below. I’ve embedded a backup here.

Japan: Masks with Hyper-Realistic Stranger’s Face
December 16th, 2020Via: Reuters:
A year into the coronavirus epidemic, a Japanese retailer has come up with a new take on the theme of facial camouflage – a hyper-realistic mask that models a stranger’s features in three dimensions.
Shuhei Okawara’s masks won’t protect you or others against the virus. But they will lend you the exact appearance of an unidentified Japanese adult whose features have been printed onto them.
