The Monday Night Muse - January 04 2016

If you want to know what’s going on in the world, there are places that will tell you the truth, not paint you a picture, maintain the status quo or be part of any international/inter-business synergy.

This is one of those places.

Stories, truths and angles that you need to know and have probably been sheltered from by the powers that be or your own search bubble.

Every Monday evening.

The system that can hack any smartphone 

 

A group of researchers have developed a system which can hack and steal data from any smartphone user.

Today, one of the most troubling issues for smartphone users is its privacy and that points to the apps and websites they visit from the smartphone. Almost all websites and apps gather user’s data to get make money by using the data themselves or by selling it on to advertisers.

Though, the market for the data buyer is not only limited to internet market. It also involves law enforcement and even government officials. However, there is a company which claims to have developed an intelligence system with the ability to steal data from the smartphone of any user.

Now with so much to offer for this data, an Israeli group “Rayzone” has developed a system known as “InterApp” which can steal intimate information of any phone user, which is in the system’s proximity. The collected data includes user email address and password, contact list, Dropbox, operating system of the phone, photos, Internet history browsing, locations and a lot more.

According to the system’s website it can collect “intimate information of any phone user… in the system’s proximity.”

Scientists claim to be able to record dreams

Researchers have found a way to translate our every thought and dream into a video that can be watched later.

This innovative device utilizes existing technologies like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and supercomputers to make a video of what a person is thinking about through computational models.

The first ever study in the United States was conducted at Brown University in 2011 and in it, three people were asked to wear an EEG device while they slept. They were then woken up in the height of dream activity and asked what they were dreaming about. 

The device cataloged all of the brain images and stored them.

The scientists repeated this process 200 hundred times for each person and made a database of all of the images. Once they were awake, the scientists showed them the images and scanned their brains again based on their responses. 

While this was exciting, at this point the scientists reached only broad object recognition and it wasn’t until researchers at the University of Berkley, took it one step further and were able to get video clips from dreams.

It is exciting to see where the story could go next and this technology could be revolutionary. 

WikiLeaks strike again - US, Israel and Saudis planned to overthrow Syrian 10 years ago

 

Speaking from Ecuador’s embassy in London, Julian Assange revealed that the United States planned to overthrow the Syrian government as far back as 2006, several years before the start of the current crisis.

The founder of WikiLeaks took refuge in the Embassy of Ecuador in 2012. The premises remain under siege 24 hours a day by a large team of police to prevent Assange from ever stepping foot outside, at a cost to taxpayers that now exceeds £12 million.

The ongoing threat to his freedom hasn’t kept Assange from continuing his work revealing the dirty secrets of world governments. His latest revelations come in an interview with RT in support of his new book, “The WikiLeaks Files,” published late last month.

The United States and its allies in the Middle East, including Turkey and Israel, have been frequently accused of contributing to the ongoing destabilization of Syria in the wake of the uprising and subsequent civil war which began in 2011. But according to cables from the WikiLeaks archive, discussed in the Syria chapter of Assange’s book, plans to deliberately destabilize the region go back at least five years further.

“In that chapter is a cable from US Ambassador William Roebuck, who was stationed in Damascus, which apparently discusses a plan for the overthrow of the Assad government in Syria,” RT reported.

In his appearance on the RT program “Going Underground,” Assange elaborated on the cable’s contents:

“…that plan was to use a number of different factors to create paranoia within the Syrian government; to push it to overreact, to make it fear there’s a coup…”

Assange continued, explaining that the U.S. government sought to make the Syrian government appear weak by causing Assad to overreact to the threat of Islamic extremists crossing into his country.

Priest: women are abused because they dress provocatively and don't cook warm meals anymore 

 

Catholic priest Father Piero Corsi actually said the following words:

"How often do we see girls and mature women going around scantily dressed and in provocative clothes? They provoke the worst instincts, which end in violence or sexual abuse. They should search their consciences and ask: did we bring this on ourselves? 

  

"Is it possible that all of a sudden men have gone mad? We don’t believe it. The fact is that women are increasingly provocative, they become arrogant, they believe themselves to be self-sufficient and end up exacerbating the situation.

"Children are abandoned to their own devices, homes are dirty, meals are cold or fast food, clothes are filthy."

No words are necessary!

And finally...

Twitter fight of the week!

 

Spot on!

Never accept the world with which you are presented.
