From USNI News:
“We’ve seen a number of potential exploits by malicious cyber actors. Kind of the easiest stuff and because everyone is super responsive and working from home – lots of phishing activity. And Especially early on, if it said COVID-19 in the subject line, you were going to open it,” Weis said.
“And really then that’s the front door and then getting somebody to click on an attachment or whatnot that you can get into somebody’s face with a COVID-themed message,” he continued. “The other is – there was an uptick in the registration of domain names that contain COVID, COVID-19, along with DOD specific variants of that, as the services rushed to push out tracking, tracing capability services, etc, for use in this teleworking environment.”

Seven years after former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden blew the whistle on the mass surveillance of Americans’ telephone records, an appeals court has found the program was unlawful — and that the U.S. intelligence leaders who publicly defended it were not telling the truth.
In a ruling handed down on Wednesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said the warrantless telephone dragnet that secretly collected millions of Americans’ telephone records violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and may well have been unconstitutional.

what was the name of that PBS/Frontline documentary you ran a thread on? Something like “The United States of ???”. It was a 2 part thing, featuring an NSA whistleblower. Bill somebody.
The United States of Secrets, 2014.
Methodical and comprehensive, “Frontline’s” documentary “The United States of Secrets” offers a blow-by-blow account of the Bush administration’s embrace of potentially illegal spying/eavesdropping techniques, President Obama’s decision to continue them (despite campaign promises to the contrary) and, most compellingly, those who sought to blow the whistle on government overreach, culminating with Edward Snowden’s unprecedented dump of classified documents. If the two-part project breaks little new ground, it’s an utterly thorough primer on what transpired that almost plays like a John Le Carre thriller, with remarkably candid interviews from participants on all sides.

Suspect in fatal Portland protest shooting killed by feds during arrest attempt
The suspected gunman who fatally shot a right-wing protester in Portland last weekend was reportedly shot and killed by law enforcement authorities Thursday night as they attempted to arrest him.
Michael Forest Reinoehl, 48, died in Lacey, Washington, where federal agents were attempting to take him into custody for the shooting — the same night his interview on the shooting aired on Vice News, The New York Times reported.

lobo91 wrote:
It’s part of a coordinated attack to build a ‘narrative’.
The other part is a piece in the Atlantic that has Trump disparaging the military, saying he didn’t want wounded veterans at a parade “because nobody wants to see that”, that he didn’t want to visit a cemetery because they are “losers” and he lied about his copter being grounded by bad weather, he just didn’t want to make the trip.
All sources are anonymous. Nobody believes Trump feels like that about the military and FOIA records show his copter was grounded by bad weather.
The narrative being built is that Trump hates the military therefore it’s justified the military remove him from office
The WaPo sources representing the Trump side are ALL never-Trumpers, from Bill Kristol on down.
They are now at the stage of whole-cloth fabrication, so all I can think is that the internals are horrifying.

@ eaglesoars:
Parler post that one source was Gen Kelly. Trump has a deep sense of humor and a deep life experience. Probably one third of the country can’t fathom what he really says. No sense of humor or looking at life materialistically.
When I hear Trump talk I think I hear hints of Dale Carnegie and Tony Robbins talking. Those and both positive people supporting lecturers.
Queensland-based constitutional law expert James Allan switches to full auto in the last paras:
What has happened to all the many, many advocates for ‘human rights’ and for ‘bills of rights’? Where are the cries from those who – when it comes to, say, supposed refugees piled into boats trying to sneak in illegally or in regard to anything to do with sexual freedom – like to paint themselves as champions of the individual and of choice and of rights and of freedom? Where are they now? Because most of them seem pretty silent to me, if not cheerleading the heavy-handedness. Where are the supposed libertarians in the Liberal party room, the Tim Wilsons and James Patersons? I don’t hear them speaking up for the Swedish approach, do you? Meanwhile lots of right on, lefty virtue-signallers seem more than content to jump on the ‘freedom ignoring, citizen distrusting, top-down dictating, Big Government’ express train. The retired British Supreme Court Justice Lord Sumption says we are right now living through what is, without doubt, the greatest, most extensive government attacks on our civil liberties and freedoms of any time in the democratic history of our countries. He’s right.
And this when, if the politicians had refrained from indulging in their pale imitation of East Germany, then 99.95 percent of us would have survived the virus. (That’s what the data from Sweden tells us, full stop.) More, in fact, would have survived if our government had just focused on the frail and those in aged-care and left everyone else to their own devices. Trusted them. You know, the way a democracy is supposed to work.
As you may have inferred by now I’ve reached the stage of total disgust with our politicians. Indeed I have much the same attitude to the many Australians who are content to be ordered around, locked up, shut in, told what to do, and afraid of their own shadows.
In a democracy you get what you deserve. Next election we will all have a chance to pass judgement on this fiasco. I, for one, can’t wait.

Excellent piece on this latest hit attempt on Trump
Quite aside from this specific story about whether Trump loves The Troops, conflating the crucial journalistic concept of “confirmation” with “hearing the same idle gossip” or “unproven assertions” is a huge disservice. It is an instrument of propaganda, not reporting. And its use has repeatedly deceived rather than informed the public. Anyone who doubts that should review how it is that MSNBC and CBS both claimed to have “confirmed” a CNN report which turned out to be ludicrously and laughably false. Clearly, the term “confirmation” has lost its meaning in journalism.

@ Aussie InfidelIts a failure of government. I was listening to the Scott Adams periscope he was saying the main factors in Covid deaths are obesity rate of the country, median age, percentage of black Africans. US is at 36 percent obesity with some 40 million black Africans. Japan is 4 percent obese. China 6 percent.
I think the point is politicians across the planet are focusing on superficial looks at the virus. Which help no one. In the US, one could just remove high Fructose Corn Syrup from the diet and the morbidity outcome would be improved over time. No national mask mandate needed.

Allegheny Ludlum stainless steel cars sell for $950K at auto auction
A trio of stainless steel cars produced by Ford and Allegheny Ludlum sold at auction for $950,000.
Billed as “The Historic Stainless Steel Trifecta” and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the cars were sold Saturday night as a single lot by Worldwide Auctioneers at the 13th annual Auburn Auction.
They were offered for sale without a minimum price.
The buyer’s identity was not known.
The lot included one of each example produced by Ford and Allegheny Ludlum, predecessor of today’s Allegheny Technologies Inc.: a 1936 touring sedan, a 1960 Thunderbird, and a 1967 Lincoln Continental convertible.
The three are among a total of 11 ever made — six of the 1936, two Thunderbirds and three Lincolns.
