As of October 2014 the CIA was also looking at infecting the vehicle control systems used by modern cars and trucks,” WikiLeaks writes. “The purpose of such control is not specified, but it would permit the CIA to engage in nearly undetectable assassinations.” Hastings, an acclaimed war correspondent and vocal critic of government mass surveillance, died in the early hours of Tuesday, June 18, 2013, when his Mercedes C250 Coupe apparently lost control and burst into flames before slamming into a palm tree.

I won’t have a car newer than about 1985. Electronic controls mean somebody else anywhere on earth can operate your systems.

How come nobody is talking about those Arab brothers who were doing IT for the Dems and the DNC? They had access to heaven only knows how much...

If the tip is made of gasoline resistant c-4 or some other special explosive, no problem.

EFI is way better than carburetors for all sorts of reasons.

Yep, Comey is dead on his sorry @$$ on investigating that important leak, more like a dam collapse actually.

And worse.

Was this spying used to justify what became the mysterious deaths of Andrew Breitbart, Anton Scalia, and Seth Rich?

Comey has been unmoved by the hundreds of illegal intelligence leaks against President-Elect Trump and President Trump for the last five months. But, today — the very day of the WikiLeaks about CIA — Comey suddenly is launching “a major mole hunt:”

The FBI has its priorities, and it is NOT sedition!

In what?

You think that someone crept into my house and installed a webcam surreptitiously into my laptop? Or did they install one in the fireplace, perchance?

The ONLY thing I have like that is my iPhone, which is usually shut off and in a purse or some other room. If they’re listening to me, someone/s is EXTREMELY desperate.
