The issue of cars being hacked should be in full view by now. Newer cars are hooked up to the Internet, and like every other connected device, they can be hacked. A couple of white hats demonstrated that they can take over a car, and the results are dangerous and terrifying.
Maybe no one would bother hacking some average shmo, but it is certainly plausible that someone would go to such lengths in an attempt on a VIP, head of state or top oil executive. Quite possibly journalists as well.
With that in mind, take a look at this footage of the deadly accident that reportedly killed Vladimir Putin's "favorite" chauffeur during a horrible crash in Moscow. As the London Independent reports:
Vladimir Putin's personal chauffeur has been killed in Moscow after the presidential BMW collided head-on with a Mercedes.It was captured on two angles, and first shows the approach of the other car (NOT Putin's man; driver not identified) as it moves into the center lane, speeds up dramatically, then veers off into the lane of oncoming traffic - colliding head on with the car being driven by Putin's driver ("MK"). Towards the end of the video, it shows the opposite angle with the state vehicle approaching.
The Russian President was not in the car at the time.
The driver, named only as MK, was said to be Mr Putin's favourite chauffeur and had 40 years of experience as an official driver.
***WARNING GRAPHIC FOOTAGE***
Vladimir Putin Presidential Chauffeur Killed In Crash. You can see exactly how the "accident" occurred
Very suspicious.
Of course, we can only speculate on what really happened here, but it is eerie that this seemingly targeted collision took out an official presidential car, apparently a BMW 7-Series car, which was registered with the Federation Council. As the Independent notes:
The BMW 7-Series was the official property of the Federation Council, also known as the Upper Chamber of Parliament or Russian Senate.It seems like Putin's new fleet of vehicles can't come quickly enough. His resurgence of activity in Syria and the Ukraine has undoubtedly pissed off NATO and driven the CIA covert private contractors and NGO assets over the edge.
Mr Putin is scheduled to receive the first Russian-built "Kortezh" luxury limousine next year. Unlike "The Beast", US President Barack Obama's armour-plated vehicle, "Kortezh" will be on sale to the public as well.
Someone is sending Putin a message. Putin should consider himself put on notice.
Perhaps it was even a hired-hit man suicide driver, but the video appears to show a car with an improbable sharp-yet-even acceleration and 'loss of control' that (speculatively) looks more like remote control than kamikaze.
That much is up for debate.
The nothing-to-hide crowd would prefer to take refuge in the idea that the view of remotely hijacked cars is a paranoid thought that shouldn't be taken into consideration in car crashes - which are after all, routine, everyday occurrences. But those who are still living in reality can recognize that not only is this technologically-feasible, but it is a workable option in cases of staged deaths and targeted "hits" - wrapped up in political intrigue and secrecy.

#1: I didn't see the article here before making my own comment in Eva Bartlett's story about the Guardian. Sorry about that.
#2: The cars were not hacked. Head on collisions are the deadliest. Putin's driver was killed instantly the
other driver is in critical condition.
#3: HFL you are right, the message was the crude "We are going to get you" kind as Putin who was in the car stepped out of it 5-10 minutes before the crash, most probably alerted by either the BND or his own Intel.
I have a difficult time getting my head around this being a "professional hit", but then, we are dealing with the gang who couldn't shoot straight.
He would be driving in the safer middle lanes.
Big coincidence though but if it's a warning it's...well...really mafia like crude.
Pathetic actually but it could be a warning to his family members as well.
A bit of God honest fear always helps.
Who knows...???
Update: Curtis in the comments below pointed to this stunning admission by Mike Morrell, former acting director of the CIA, and long time Deputy Director at CIA. He is extremely close to Hillary via their mutual ties to Beacon Global Strategies LLC, the regime change firm Morrell went to after leaving the CIA, which is engaged in antagonizing our enemies.
Only a month ago, Morrell stunningly stated openly on television that he wanted to target the leadership of Russia, Iran and Assad in Syria. Morrell explicitly advocated taking out guards, top staff, top generals, etc. etc. of these leaders – not trying to assassinating the head of state, but destroying the trusted people around them… and the killing of Putin’s “favorite” chauffeur appears to be exactly in the plans stated so carefully.
This video is a must see – these underhanded tactics are exactly what is going on, and are likely to drag us into an all-out world war against these three nations… and quite possibly China as well.
be dead by then. In the mean time, local wars help the people of the world to meet each other better, promote globalization by using rather expensive means (advanced weaponry) and let them exchange their cultural habits and beliefs (chopping heads off). Pardon the sarcasm but I just couldn't resist.
deliberate accident Joe that failed during the last few minutes.
This colonization of Mars before the wars you keep talking about seems really far fetched.
This would be a freaking MASSIVE undertaking & with our levels of current technology it's hardly realistic.
If I assume correctly you're saying that some of the elite populace will go there till the Earth cleanses it self from nuclear devastation.
Can you give me more info or links where I can chase up what you are stating.
It's very interesting
We will just have to wait & see how many more of these unfortunate incidents/accidents show up in the future around these leaders.
Makes sense that killing the close work mates & or friends is one thing but the killing of Putin is something so major that its consequences may be unthinkable.
I doubt it was a direct attempt on Putin's life.
Firstly he was not in the car & whoever went to these lengths to create this incident can't be this dumb that they didn't know this.
Unless it was a poorly planned terrorist attack.
My sympathies go out to the drivers' family and to Mr. Putin for the loss of a trusted man. Accidents like this happen in Russia every day, usually involving alcohol and bad attitudes.
If not for the lunatic in the 'Pres Putin You Were Warned' video, I might lean more towards this being a deliberate act but when things like this happen to important people, all kinds of loons lift off the water and obscure the view. So I will wait until the loons settle down and for more information from Russia before making up my mind on the event.
That would help answer a few questions..
According to NASA's plan it will be ready by 2175 AD. You are right, we couldn't do it entirely by ourselves. NASA has about 25 alien advisors on this and no I'm not making that up.
The first manned mission starts at 2025. After that and from 2025-2050 NASA plans to move to Mars
200 million (!!!) people to work there. That's 200/day and I assume they will use quantum computers to transport all these people. Spaceships are both costly and slow.
About the 2 WWs : There's already a stockpile of weaponry on this planet. I hope we can avoid it but it will take only a spark to start a conventional weapons WW3. After that nukes will be used to finish off the job
in a WW4. I hope history proves me wrong but Europe was destroyed by 2 WWs and we avoided WW3 in the
60's during the Kennedy administration.
In 1998 a NASA radio telescope received an S.O.S. signal from a civilization in the Andromeda Galaxy. It had taken 80.000 years to reach us and it was released when we were still living in caves here on Earth.
It took NASA 13 years to decipher it. The specific civilization had unleashed their nukes on themselves (talking about Universal stupidity) and they were asking for evacuation means. That's why I assume 2 more
WWs are coming up, as everyone since the beginning of the 90's is getting trigger happy.
One final note about the colony in Mars. It will be nothing but secure :
#1 : There can be a civil war.
#2 : It can be hit from the Earth (for any reason).
#3 : Worst of all it can be hit by an alien race (as it was done in the past) and we won't have enough time to help them.
WE HAVE TO ABOLISH WAR AND WARS OF ALL KINDS IF WE ARE TO SURVIVE AND PROSPER. OTHERWISE WE WILL HAVE ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING AS A RACE.
OK Thanks...I would like to get your source of information but that wont happen I'm sure.
Your last statement is spot on about stopping wars but whilst we live in a Greed & Egocentric Money System it's not going to happen either.
Remember a few months ago Assad's chauffeur was blown up. He failed to see a bomb under the car, or did he?
