WikiLeaks to release password on 3/7/17 9pm ET

First check out this WikiLeaks tweet at link below...

VAULT 7
YEAR ZERO
http://redstatewatcher.com/article.asp?id=66377

First they release the mysterious encrypted document that can only be obtained via special Torrent downloading software. Then at a later time, they make a public release of the password that will reveal/decrypt the contents of the file.

Anyone care to guess what this VAULT 7 YEAR ZERO document will contain?

It's the one weird old trick that 70 year old billionaires use to keep looking and feeling so young. Not monkey glands and certainly not difficult exercise. Agent Orange is now being made available to the public on a limited one time only basis and only to dyed in the wool conservatives. Send $699.95 and your paid up NRA membership, Tea Party certification and/or Fox News Watchers pin to, #moremoneythangod and await instructions

 

Wikileaks’ 2017 marketing and media strategy. Apparently just releasing data isn’t getting them enough attention, they lost some credibility during the US election and Assange doesn’t seem to be putting himself out there for them any more so they need to play some pointless spy games to try to make themselves relevant again. It reminds me of the ever more ridiculous stream of “reality” shows on TV.

 

As a matter of fact they enhanced their credibility as all documents they released proved once again to be 100% accurate and genuine. Wikileaks has the immaculate record. You might not like them, but their immaculate record means they are credible. Unlike DNC.

 

Lost zero credibility, in fact they maintained their 100 percent accuracy rating. Unlike MSM. They are relevant now, more than ever before because they informed America that the DNC is a banana republic organization, corrupt to the core, run by political scumbags who pissed all over this republic, or what once was a republic. As they were pissing, the Hillary supporters lined up to each get a mouthful which they swallowed with relish. This is the group that destroyed any electoral integrity we had. And if not for wilkileaks and the DC insider who Ambassador Murray knows, who ratted out the DNC, we would not know of the crooks in the DNC.

 

It’s not a question of accuracy (when you’re just republishing other people’s raw data that’s not really difficult to achieve), it’s a question of having (or appearing to have) political motives in the scope and timing of releases and the nature of their promotion.

It’s no secret that WikiLeaks in general and Assange in particular has disputes with the previous US administration and there is at very least the perception that they allowed their personal opinions to influence their actions during the election. It just seems to have taken them a couple of steps away from their founding principle of being a neutral promoter or any and all free information and moved towards partisan political commentary on the contents of the data they published. They’re perfectly entitled to do that of course (notwithstanding the legal issues around publishing the data in the first place) but it needs to be recognised that is what they’re doing. If they want to be seems as journalists they should be treated with the same general contempt that journalists are.

This latest campaign is really an extension of that, where they seem to be getting caught up in self-promoting James Bond style games that seem totally unnecessary to achieve the simple publication of whatever data they have.

 

Possible explanation of WHY WikiLeaks would release an encrypted file:

It the file has detailed sensitive or controversial information they distribute it encrypted so that the "original" gets into the hands of a great number of people. Advantage being, if you have an original copy you can be assured that it's accurate and it's not been altered or edited in any way to for purposes of deception.

See, right now there is no way to stop the truth from being posted online in a venue such as youtube or social media. So the best that can be done to hide the truth is to flood the venue with some of same true information mixed with bogus information (disinformation created). This creates confusion and allows the deceivers to easily discredit the entire piece by pointing to the bogus information they they themselves planted there.

HOWEVER, if you release the originals encrypted, and those originals get into the hands of enough people, a disinformation campaign would surely fail because the huge number of people that can confirm they have the true original document.

RNC having appropriate security that blocks hacking, doesn't make wikileaks bias.

 

I think they've got nothing. It's just 1000 empty files, bloatware.

 

No, their being biased makes them biased. Are you suggesting WikiLeaks and especially Assange didn’t have conflicts with the Obama administration, including Clinton and were openly antagonistic to her candidacy? As I said, they’re perfectly entitled to feel that way, they even have some justification, but you can’t simply pretend it didn’t happen.

Obviously WikiLeaks could only leak the data they had but the drip-feed through the election period, new revelations to coincide with key points such as the TV debates and the narratives and promotion WikiLeaks (and Assange personally) put around each release were all active decisions on their part and the political impact would have been clear to them. As I said, I think that tool them beyond the neutral publication of raw data that was the organisation’s stated aim.

 

Vault 7 is the biggest ever disclosure on the rogue CIA. They've secretly created their own NSA. This is massive. Assange was supposed to hold a press conference. However his Facebook periscope video is under attack. Postponed until further notice. Download it while you can.

 

Assange and WikiLeaks are under attack because everyone knows they always tell the truth.

Can't have that if you are running a Police State.

 

They are revealing CIA hacking tools. Specifics. Android, Apple, Windows, Samsung were all hacked and targeted.

 

How convenient! IOW, the CIA has made cloud storage obsolete.

All of our personal data has now been copied onto clandestine servers all over the world. For a small Bitcoin transfer we will be able to recover any lost data from Moldova, North Korea, Drug Cartels, The IS ... Who needs iCloud?

 

From the Wikileaks "Year Zero" dump:

The CIA's Remote Devices Branch's UMBRAGE group collects and maintains a substantial library of attack techniques 'stolen' from malware produced in other states including the Russian Federation.

With UMBRAGE and related projects the CIA cannot only increase its total number of attack types but also misdirect attribution by leaving behind the "fingerprints" of the groups that the attack techniques were stolen from.

UMBRAGE components cover keyloggers, password collection, webcam capture, data destruction, persistence, privilege escalation, stealth, anti-virus (PSP) avoidance and survey techniques.

 

In WikiLeaks’ analysis of ‘Year Zero’ it detailed ‘Weeping Angel’, a surveillance technique which infiltrates smart TV’s, transforming them into microphones.

An attack against Samsung TV’s used ‘Weeping Angel’ in cooperation with MI5, placing them into a ‘Fake-Off’ mode, recording conversations even when the device appears to be off.

In the released batch “Things you might do” with ‘Weeping Angel’ is detailed in a document. “Investigate any listening ports & their respective services” is listed, along with “extract browser credentials or history.”

I'm guessing you can use any bit torrent software like uTorrent to download it. I'm not sure where the yz comes in, but it's been a long while since I've had to unlock a torrent. Some of the folk in computer/software section of PF will know I'm sure. Looks like it's going to be thousands of pages and hours/days of work to go through.

 

Using that logic we could conclude that the US media has the same bias for Hillary and against Trump

 

Bias in the MSM?! What an absurd and outrageous idea! Rupert Murdoch have an agenda? Pfft!

 

That's a bargain! Much cheaper than bathing in virgin blood and taking it intravenously.

 

If there's one thing Obama, Trump, and of course Hillary, can agree on...Wikileaks is a huge threat to our country's security. We need to put an end to this.

 

WikiLeaks isn't a threat it's free and independent media. We need it to reveal the shady, undercover secrets that go on in the world to the public. It's a keeper in my book.

 

Yep, I worry that what they're doing now is acting to weaken the US both internally and globally by basically supporting opposition to the government itself with their timed releases. We have Trump's nonsense about wiretapping, and now suddenly we have this. I saw claims on Wikileaks' Twitter page just now about various backdoors allegedly existing in various OSes, Samsung smart TVs serving as listening devices, the US consolate in Frankfurt housing a "covert CIA hacking base," and so on. In the end, it all serves anti-US interests as it tries to turn people increasingly against the US globally, and internally against important government institutions such as the CIA, which of course will have them all looking more favorably on Agent Orange and on Russia, and perhaps other traditional US rivals, opponents or enemies.

 

Perfect! We have met the Russians and they are US.
Where is Pogo when we need him/it.

 

Sure, to an extent, though they've got financial motives as well. Like it or not, mocking Trump sells.
