WikiLeaks Today, August 10th 2017, WikiLeaks publishes the the User Guide for the CoachPotato project of the CIA. CouchPotato is a remote tool for collection against RTSP/H.264 video streams. It provides the ability to collect either the stream as a video file (AVI) or capture still images (JPG) of frames from the stream that are of significant change from a previously captured frame. It utilizes ffmpeg for video and image encoding and decoding as well as RTSP connectivity. CouchPotato relies on being launched in an ICE v3 Fire and Collect compatible loader.

globinfo freexchange What does little North Korea possess to become a target for the US empire? Oil, minerals, opium perhaps? Probably nothing. Then why Donald Trump is choosing to escalate tension with the country at this moment? We can think at least two reasons, both for distraction purposes. First, the Donald tries one more time to 'relocate' tension from Russia towards China's door. We've seen recently a further escalation of diplomatic conflict between the US and Russia, as Trump couldn't do anything to prevent further sanctions against Russia which led to proportional retaliation actions by Putin. When heat goes up in the US-Russia relations field, Donald provokes the right man to be used as a frightening clown who will jump out of the closet to lure and distract the US warmongering establishment: Kim Jong-un. Second, Kim Jong-un is the most suitable to attract white nationalist voters, who appear to be one of the key components of Trump

globinfo freexchange This is a double hit. All pretexts are gone, and there is nothing left from the 'war on terror' joke, promoted by the US neocon/neoliberal apparatus, to justify wars and dirty interventions. Donald Trump not only admits cynically the real reason behind the US invasion in Afghanistan, but proves that he is willing to expand the establishment agenda, through the mainstream media. From NYT : President Trump, searching for a reason to keep the United States in Afghanistan after 16 years of war, has latched on to a prospect that tantalized previous administrations: Afghanistan’s vast mineral wealth, which his advisers and Afghan officials have told him could be profitably extracted by Western companies. [...] To explore the possibilities, the White House is considering sending an envoy to Afghanistan to meet with mining officials. Last week, as the White House fell into an increasingly fractious debate over Afghanistan po

του system failure Όταν έχεις το μονοπώλιο της πληροφόρησης μπορείς κυριολεκτικά να μεταμορφώσεις τα μυαλά των ανθρώπων. Να τους κάνεις να πιστέψουν ότι θες. Μπορείς ακόμα και να αντιστρέψεις την πραγματικότητα, προκειμένου αυτή να εξυπηρετεί τα αφηγήματά σου, ώστε να προωθήσεις την επιθυμητή ατζέντα για λογαριασμό των αφεντικών σου. Την 1η Απριλίου του 1957, το BBC διεξήγαγε ένα πολύ ενδιαφέρον πείραμα. Το πιο διακεκριμένο δελτίο ειδήσεων της βρετανικής τηλεόρασης, μετέδωσε ένα ρεπορτάζ για τις καλλιέργειες μακαρονιών στην Ελβετία. Την επόμενη μέρα, εκατοντάδες τηλεθεατές τηλεφώνησαν στον σταθμό, για να μάθουν πώς να προμηθευτούν σπόρους για μακαρονόδεντρα. Η απάντηση του σταθμού ήταν: « Τοποθετείστε ένα μακαρόνι σε τενεκεδάκι από σάλτσα ντομάτας και ελπίστε για το καλύτερο ». Αυτή η 'αθώα' φάρσα, έδειξε με δραματικό τρόπο την εκπληκτική δύναμη της τηλεόρασης και των μίντια στο να διαμορφώνουν μαζικά την αντίληψη εκατομμυρίων ανθρώπων. Στις αρχές του πρ

Turkey has started building a wall along its border with Iran in parallel with the Turkish barrier along the Syrian frontier, a Turkish media report says. Turkey’s private Dogan news agency said on Tuesday that the governor of Agri province, Suleyman Elban, had visited the construction process of the security wall. It added that Ankara is constructing the 2-meter wide, 3-meter high wall with portable blocks. Turkey claims that the construction work is aimed at improving security by halting the infiltration of Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants and illegal smugglers. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in June that his country plans to build walls along its borders with Iraq and Iran, similar to the one being erected along the 911-kilometer frontier with Syria.
