WikiLeaks warns CIA can hack cars for 'undetectable assassinations'
Washington Examiner ^ | 7 Mar 17 | Daniel Chaitin

Posted on 03/07/2017 5:12:15 PM PST by SkyPilot

The CIA has been investigating ways to manipulate the control systems of modern cars and trucks that could be used for covert assassinations, WikiLeaks said on Tuesday as part of its dump of more than 8,700 documents that it claims are from the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence.

"As of October 2014 the CIA was also looking at infecting the vehicle control systems used by modern cars and trucks," WikiLeaks said in a statement. "The purpose of such control is not specified, but it would permit the CIA to engage in nearly undetectable assassinations."

Most cars are now equipped with electronic brake control systems, and a number of systems, including acceleration, airbags, steering, door locks and entertainment system are controlled by sensors and computers, making them susceptible to hacking.

I watched the useless video on this link. The guy tries to connect Joe Biden to pizzagate. Joe may be a little creepy but to IMPLY that he’s in any way connected to molesting children it absolute BS. I don’t like Biden but dragging his name into this on such flimsy BS is totally irresponsible.

The guy doing these videos is reaching and he’s never really provided any real substance. Come back when you’ve got something of substance.

Seems you buy into every conspiracy theory out there. Are you trying to sucker others here into it?

... I am guessing you are one of the folks who are sore that I was critical of Jeff Sessions' weak, emasculated, meandering press conference last week where he recused himself.

What David Seaman said on the video is absolutely true. Not only is Biden’s highly documented behavior around women and children to be highly inappropriate (to say the least), but Biden’s anti-terrorism omnibus bill, which he wrote, was used as a blueprint for the incredibly ill-named Patriot Act. But hey, if you are a fan of President Obama’s creepy Vice President, approve of his groping women and children, and approve of our rights being taken away, then more power to you.

So does that mean you don’t trust President Trump and Mike Pompeo, the man the president appointed to head the CIA to use this new technology judiciously?


1. From what I read, this NSA within CIA scenario is not part of their charter. Please see article I posted up thread Post #45—it was from an earlier thread posted here on FR.

2. No one here loves Trump more than I do...I drove before dawn to Iowa in the winter to see one of his first rallies, and I also went to the ill-fated cancelled Chicago rally—surrounded by a mob several dozen thugs BTW.

That said, it is not a matter of Trust....I actually do trust Trump and by extension his guy, Pompeo; however, as everyone here has seen, politics is rough business and it is not inconceivable that sadly we could have another radical progressive in office like we did during the past 8 years...

an administration headed by one who clearly had no qualms about using whatever means against his opponents which included American citizens in general and those who did not support him specifically—I am from IL and I know how Obama won his elections here! It was covert opps and intel...

Also right now there are numerous rogue elements within the Dark Government that are not yet under Trump control and are not to be trusted—especially with surveillance and assassination technologies.

So though I think Trump would use this technology judiciously, it needs considerable oversight and needs to be accounted for under the proper agencies.

Your pal in the video implies Joe is tied to pizzagate — a ring of child molesters. It’s bs to smear someone without better evidence.

Joe is like the creepy uncle but this doesn’t make him a child molester. This guy needs to put up or put a sock in it.

And to say I like Joe Biden because I find it wrong to smear people without any evidence is just more bs.

There is hours worth of video on YouTube where Joe Biden is molesting young girls right out in the open.

Oh please. Obama is one of the most evil men in American history. His right hand VP (Biden) engaged in horribly inappropriate behavior with children on camera. Multiple times. And this journalist asks the logical questions as to how and why he was able to get away with this behavior. An old man putting his hands all over young children and 13-year-old girls (on camera) is wrong. And where there is smoke there is fire. It is par for the course for the Obama administration and their thugs. And you and your buddy call me a shill? LOL.

He said often "A car only needs gas, air and electricity. It doesn't need no stupid computer."

Doesn't really matter what he would say because computers are/will be in everything - appliances, toys, communication devices, homes, cars - you name it. The Internet of Things (IoTs)

Obama is evil. Yeah, you don’t have to tell me that.

But when you start calling someone a child molester without proof, that’s when you lose credibility. Is he creepy? Sure. But that doesn’t make him a child molester.

I watched the videos of Creepy Biden but, again, that doesn’t make him a child molester. In fact, implying that he is without proof discredits conservatives. It makes conservatives look like wackos.

By inviting Biden they have insured the creep factor.

Too bad we can’t give him a good Freeping!

Well....electronic engine controls, (ignition and fuel injection) are light years better than points and carburetors, but it pretty much ends right there.

Most of the digital crap on cars is just that. ABS sucks, TPMS sucks, computerized transmissions suck. You don't need a computer to regulate the alternator, flash the turn signals, auto-lock the doors, control the heater, dim the headlights or DRIVE THE FREAKIN CAR.

So I pretty much agree with the old man.

FBI=Clinton’s own KGB—Watch how they Assassinate Trump and make it look like an “accident” or a “nut” (who will be shot by police) Dead Men Tell No tales. If Trump dies—The nation should go up in flames—all in the FBI dismissed or locked up—same with the CIA. We should show what happens when the Forgotten Americans rise up! Rev War II —tear down the corruption and start over.

Growing up in Texas, I used to watch Alex Jones on public access TV and listen to him on shortwave. He was talking about this stuff in the late 90s. He would talk about how the NSA was listening in on our phone calls during the Clinton administration and people would tell him to put on his tin foil hat.

My, my, my how that tables have turned. And I am just as guilty as the rest for laughing him off. I had a relative who worked for Texas Instruments swear to me the HD TVs could listen to you. This is in the early 2000s. I just laughed at him.

The point is, truth is stranger than fiction. If this story is seeing the light of day, think of what is really under wraps in a dark basement in the middle of the desert of Nevada? The Stealth Bomber isn’t some new technology, it’s been around since the late 70s. Let that sink in...
