Hackers leak 'IDF soldier' private info & Israeli defense minister's photos,' claim to have more classified docs

Photos allegedly obtained in a cyberattack on the Israeli Defense Ministry and published by hacking outfit 'Moses Staff' are seen in a screenshot from the group's website.
A shadowy hacking outfit calling itself "Moses Staff" has published a cache of photos and data it claims to have stolen in a cyber attack on the Israeli military, including a series of pictures of Defense Minister Benny Gantz.

In posts on its website and Telegram channel earlier this week, the black hat group released a number of photos of Gantz, claiming it has access to "confidential documents" on the country's Ministry of Defense and the minister himself. Vowing to publish more confidential information, the group declared:
"We've kept an eye on you for many years, at every moment and on each step. All your decisions and statements have been under our surveillance. Eventually, we will strike you while you never would have imagined and inform the world about the Israeli authorities' crimes."
The origin of the photos shared by Moses Staff remains unknown. None of the images published appear sensitive, and most depict Gantz meeting with fellow soldiers and performing other mundane tasks. Another photo shows a copy of a personal letter allegedly sent by Gantz to a colleague in the Jordanian armed forces in 2010, in which Gantz thanks him for his "support and friendship."

The group also reportedly leaked files containing personal information on IDF soldiers and other Defense Ministry personnel, including names, phone numbers, home addresses and ID numbers.

The woke mob are headed down the same well-trodden book-burning road as the Conquistadors and the Nazis

Most people would struggle to find kids' classics Little House On The Prairie and Dr Seuss offensive. But a UK university is failing to learn the lessons of the past by insisting they carry warnings for 'harmful content'.

Book banning and book burning - the attempted annihilation of a culture by attacking the written word - is nothing new.

Just ask the Qin Emperor of China a couple of thousand years-or-so ago - he of the Terracotta Army. He liked to roast a book or two. As did the Romans a few hundred years later, and the Spanish invaders of the Americas in the 16th century. They had a blast burning books.

Take, for example, the impact they had on the indigenous Mayan people, who lived on the land that is now Central America for thousands of years. They had hundreds of beautiful, hand-scribed books made from bark. They were experts on the movements of the stars and wrote what they'd learnt down in those tomes. They had a cool system for counting days, and such like. They were pretty damn good at it, too.

Then along came the Conquistadors, who'd crossed the Atlantic from Spain. They - or to be precise, their priests - didn't much like the Mayans having their own thoughts on anything, and they certainly didn't approve of their religion. It was Catholicism or bust for these godly folk. So, they burnt their books. Guess how many are left now?

Three. They're called the Mayan Codices, and the fact these books survived - by accident, as the priests missed a few - is the only reason we know exactly how much they'd learnt about the sky above them. Imagine our culture if it was reduced to just three books?

China-bashing: Daily Mail scrubs fake claim black actress was removed from Dune posters in China, but other MSM outlets still run with it

Posters for "Dune" by Denis Villeneuve, 2021
A demonstrably false claim that Dune posters in China had a black character removed - presumably to appeal to racist audiences - had spread across the Western mainstream media like fire.

One of the characters in Denis Villeneuve's fresh adaptation of Frank Herbert's 1965 science fiction novel Dune is played by black British actress Sharon Duncan-Brewster. If you read the British press, you may know how her images were supposedly purged from promotional materials in China, or something like that.

The narrative boils down to a claim that film producers in Hollywood made a poster specifically for the Chinese market, which excludes Duncan-Brewster's character and features instead another one played by Taiwanese actor Chang Chen. The underlying implication was that greedy Western filmmakers cater to the tastes of bigoted Chinese audiences, who would be discouraged from a movie featuring a person of color.

My quest to find the FDA-approved Comirnaty jab leads to mandates built on sand

A Walgreens pharmacy
"To be honest, I've never even seen Comirnaty in the wild."

It was the first answer a Walgreens pharmacist gave me, this one in Salt Lake City, but it wouldn't be the last. Nine conversations later — after speaking with pharmacists from East to West Coast and in large cities in between ­ — their answers parrot­ed each other in almost identical two-minute conversations:

Me: "Hi. Do you administer the Pfizer vaccine at this location? Yes? Great!! Can you do me a favor and check the labels of your vaccines in stock? Let me know if they say 'Pfizer-BioNTech' or 'Comirnaty.' I understand that the formulations are supposed to be the same, but the vaccine under the Comirnaty label is actually the only one that's been approved by the FDA. Thanks so much."
Pharmacist: "The Pfizer vaccine we have is labeled 'Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.'"

Me: "So, just to confirm, you don't have any vials labeled 'Comirnaty'? Nothing else in stock?"

Pharmacist: "All I have is Pfizer-BioNTech." (Except for the pharmacist in Los Angeles who replied, "What's Comirnaty?" Not the answer I expected, but that also answers my question.)

Judge jails teenager who murdered sisters after making 'bizarre' contract with a demon

Danyal Hussein
In June 2020, Nicole Smallman and her sister Bibaa Henry were stabbed to death as they celebrated Bibaa's birthday in a park in London. The murders took place during the first coronavirus lockdown, when pubs and restaurants were closed.

A teenager has been jailed for life for murdering two sisters after signing a contract with a demon to "sacrifice" women in return for winning a Mega Millions lottery jackpot.

Sentencing Danyal Hussein, 19, to a minimum term of 35 years, Mrs Justice Whipple said the teenager's motivation was "bizarre", but she told him: "You planned these vicious attacks, you intended to kill, you did it for money and in misguided pursuit of power."

Comment: Is this a case of spirit possession/ obsession, or a character disturbed individual using the narrative of an agreement with the devil?

Sky News reports:
Hussein was a troubled child growing up in south London and at the age of 15 teachers referred him to the government's counter-extremism programme Prevent after he was found to be accessing far-right propaganda on school computers.

He was discharged from the de-radicalisation programme three years later, but after the murders police discovered he had been entering online Satanic forums and researching right-wing ideology.

Ohio college student 'angry' and 'scared' after 'cisgender men' installed radiator in dorms: 'Safe space'

A student at Oberlin College in Ohio described being "scared" and "angry" after the school announced a work crew would be installing radiators in a "safe space" dormitory for women and trans students
A student at Oberlin College in Ohio described being "scared" and "angry" after the school announced a work crew would be installing radiators in a "safe space" dormitory for women and trans students, explaining the crew would likely be "cisgender men."

"I was angry, scared, and confused. Why didn't the College complete the installation over the summer, when the building was empty? Why couldn't they tell us precisely when the workers would be there? Why were they only notifying us the day before the installation was due to begin?" Oberlin student Peter Fray-Witzer wrote in an op-ed published in the college newspaper on Friday.

The student said he grew concerned because he had not heard of the installation plans before a school email was sent on Oct. 7. He explained that the crew would likely be cisgender men entering Baldwin Cottage, which is home to a "safe space" for "women and transgendered persons."

Comment: How will kids like this survive in the 'big bad world' when they leave college? Goodness knows what they will do when their car breaks down, or their toilet is blocked, or the gas boiler has gone haywire.

CDC says FOURTH Covid booster may be needed for immunocompromised people, approve 'mix & match of jabs'

FILE - In this Sept. 14, 2021, file photo, a syringe is prepared with the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at a clinic at the Reading Area Community College in Reading, Pa.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in updated COVID-19 guidelines this week that some immunocompromised people may need a fourth dose of the vaccine.

The agency wrote that people who are over 18 years old who already received an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine primary series and received an additional mRNA vaccine dose may receive a single COVID-19 booster dose - Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna or Johnson & Johnson - at least six months following their third mRNA vaccine dose.

"In such situations, people who are moderately and severely immunocompromised may receive a total of four COVID-19 vaccine doses," the CDC wrote.

Comment: As the world's largest experiment is maturing, some of the consequences of the original prescriptions of these jabs are becoming clear, and these include life threatening blood clots, nerve disorders, autoimmune disorders, and Bell's Palsy - to name but a few. It also seems that these severe side effects are particularly acute for young people, who were never at risk from the coronavirus in the first place. However, since the booster scheme is relatively recent, the risks associated with this are even less understood. But it's likely that the immunocompromised will only see their conditions worsen as their already weak systems become increasingly overwhelmed: Also check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: Is The Government Hyping Shortages?

China locks down city of four million over Covid cases

Residents undergo nucleic acid tests for the Covid-19 in Gansu province.
China placed a city of four million people under lockdown on Tuesday, ordering them not to leave home except in emergencies, in a bid to eradicate a Covid cluster of just a few dozen confirmed cases.

Beijing imposed strict border controls after the coronavirus was first detected in China in late 2019, slowing the number of cases to a trickle and allowing the economy to bounce back. But as the rest of the world opens up and tries to find ways to live with the virus, China has maintained a zero-Covid approach that has seen harsh local lockdowns imposed over handfuls of cases.

Tuesday's fresh restrictions came as China reported 29 new domestic infections — including six in Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu province in the country's northwest.

The latest outbreak has been linked to the highly contagious Delta variant, with the tally hitting 198 cases since October 17. Thirty-nine have been in Lanzhou.

Alibaba's value plummets by over $340B as China cracks down on tech monopolies

Chinese internet giant Alibaba has lost $344.4 billion in market capitalization over the past year, amid Beijing's efforts to rein in the country's massive tech sector to stop monopolistic practices.

The company's shares collapsed gradually but steadily throughout the year. After reaching an all-time high of $317.14 per share in October 2020, they hit a historic low of $139.63 per share on October 4, 2021. Although they have shown a slight growth in the past week, they are still 44% below their 2020 peak.

The sharp collapse began last year, when regulators suspended the planned IPO of Alibaba's technology subsidiary Ant Group, which was set to become the largest in the history of the entire stock market. In addition, an antitrust investigation was launched against the tech giant, as a result of which the company was fined a record $2.8 billion. Beijing then tightened its control over the firm's activities and demanded it reorganize its fintech business.

Hack against Iran's heavily subsidized gasoline pumps causes widespread disruptions ahead of fuel protest anniversary

A cyberattack disrupted the sale of heavily subsidised gasoline in Iran on Tuesday, state media reported, causing long queues at gas stations across the country weeks before the anniversary of 2019 street protests that followed fuel price hikes.

Iran says it is on high alert for online assaults, which it has blamed in the past on its arch-foes United States and Israel. The United States and other Western powers meanwhile have accused Iran of trying to disrupt and break into their networks.

"The disruption at the refuelling system of gas stations ... in the past few hours, was caused by a cyberattack," state broadcaster IRIB said. "Technical experts are fixing the problem and soon the refuelling process...will return to normal."

Comment: It certainly would be a reasonable assumption that the hack may have come from forces in Israel and/or the US: Also check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: World on the Brink - Mass Acceptance of Tyranny Augurs Doom
