“CB maintains an information database of wireless network devices,” according to the user’s manual, which “contains information about hundreds of network devices including manufacturer, make, model, version, reference design, FCC ID, network processor, wireless chipset, operating system, default username/password, etc.”

The 175-page guidebook created in 2006, but revised in 2012, seems to show the CIA developed implants that can essentially infect a computer network for products from a number of different manufacturers, like Linksys, Netgear, Motorola, Dell and Belkin.

Other once-classified files publicized by WikiLeaks reveal the CIA had a number of “secret”-labeled maps that appear to be visual instructions for further hacking mechanisms.

While the authenticity of the recently divulged documents have not been officially confirmed, the details wouldn’t be an extremely surprising revelation.

They don't have to hack anything, their access has been built in from origin.

I'd prefer the government not to spy on me.

Yeah, yeah... "If you don't do anything, you have nothing to worry about", right?

Point being... they shouldn't be spying on us for no reason. This, again, says they are.

9/11.
All that great pre-war intelligence on Iraq.
That amazing work in Libya.
Who can forget the rise of "JV" team.
New York and New Jersey bombings, Ohio State University, Minnesota, Orlando, San Bernardino attacks on American Soil.


IMVHO they are pretty bad at spying to preventing terror attacks.

Damn good at spying on Citizens, Senate, Presidential Candidates and Deep State coup though:

“Ex CIA Director John Brennan: Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you

The CIA's job is not to spy on us

God damn, you mother frickers are up for anything the government does to us because you think it benefits your side.

The fricking CIA can also make their activities look like the Russians did it. You assholes glossed over that one.

They are spying on everyone. They are spying on spies who spy. Bush and Hussein abused their powers and what Trump has now is an out-of-control Intelligence Community bigger than the President.

If President Trump is scheming to break their backs, then I am all for it.

Anybody remember the real, original reasoning for proposing the Department of Homeland Security? It was to make faultless communication between FBI, NSA, CIA, Naval Intelligence... whatever, to avoid another 9/11. How could we have been so suckered?

John Brennan.

quote:

Given Obama’s special bond with Brennan, the latter is a Muslim convert, there are troubling national security implications.


Was reading some of the comments about Brennan, and caught this.

Is John Brennan the basis of the "The Wolf" character in Zero Dark Thirty? In the movie, this character was seen praying in his office while kneeling on a rug.

Who cares?

If you've done nothing wrong you got nothing to worry about. Scared they might find your child porn browsing history?

There is LOT MORE:-

1) Hastings was investigating Brennan before he died in a "Car Crash". BTW, totally unrelated: LINK ]WikiLeaks warns CIA can hack cars for 'undetectable assassinations'

Wikileaks: CIA's Brennan on 'witch hunt' when Hastings was killed

LISTEN | PRINT
BY RALPH LOPEZ DEC 26, 2014 IN WORLD
A 2010 email released by Wikileaks from a top-level CIA contractor asserts that CIA Director John Brennan, the subject of a story by now deceased journalist Michael Hastings, was on a "witch hunt" against "investigative journalists" perceived as hostile.


Death of Michael Hastings Leads to John Brennan

-----------------------------------

2) Someone in Brennan's company hacked into State Department, totally not his fault. Hackers they were looking at passport records of then candidate Senator Barack Obama. The fall guy who was cooperating with a federal investigators "committed suicide". Case Closed. Obama nominated Brennan as CIA director.

quote:

quote:

Prior to the administration of President Obama beginning, John Brennan, a career CIA official himself, was directly tied to the LINK ]hacking of the U.S. State Department and the passport records of then candidate Senator Barack Obama, in March 2008.


quote:

‘This individual’s actions were taken without the knowledge or direction of anyone at The Analysis Corp. and are wholly inconsistent with our professional and ethical standards”, Brennan’s company said in a statement sent to reporters after the passport breach was made public. ( link)


On April 19th, 2008 the key figure in the ensuing investigation, Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., 24, who had been cooperating with a federal investigators about the State Dept. hacking, was found slumped dead inside a car. He was shot in the head.


> Brennan's company hacks into State Department.
> They are caught tampering with Obama’s passport files.
> Lt. Quarles Harris Jr. gets to be the fall guy.
> He is found dead inside a car, even though he was cooperating with federal investigators.
> Obama appointed Brennan as the CIA Director.


3) He is / was a member of Communist Party USA

Leaky John Brennan
By George Neumayr, spectator.org

February 17th, 2017

Out of hatred for McGovernite liberals, a Republican president in the 1970s broke the law. Now those aging radicals break the law out of hatred for a Republican president.

Nested within intelligence agencies, they have fed a series of criminal leaks to a press corps that functions like an anti-Trump dirty tricks operation.

Donald Trump has publicly speculated that former CIA director John Brennan is one of the criminal leakers. In January, he tweeted out, “Was this the leaker of Fake News?” Trump has now charged the Justice Department with investigating “low-life leakers” in the government.

Former CIA analyst Tony Shaffer also suspects Brennan as one of the leakers. He said on Fox Business Network that the leaks which forced Michael Flynn out can be laid “squarely at the feet of” Brennan, among other embittered Obama aides.

What we know is that intelligence agencies taped Flynn’s call with the Russian ambassador, and we know that the contents of the call were leaked to the Washington Post’s David Ignatius, who is a de facto stenographer for political liberals at the CIA. We also know that Brennan has made no secret of his opposition to Trump and Flynn. By opposing Brennan’s overtures to the Muslim Brotherhood and his refusal to grapple with the spread of Islamic terrorism, Flynn became enemy number one in the eyes of Obama holdovers at the CIA.

All of this gives the Justice Department ample reason to focus on Brennan. He had the means and motive to commit a crime.

“When I hear [former CIA head] John Brennan with the venom that seems to be in his voice after Donald Trump was elected president, it’s not hard to imagine that in the intelligence community, Donald Trump has his enemies and those enemies are not as restrained as they ought to be,” said Congressman Steve King on MSNBC.

Indeed, John Brennan brought with him to the CIA a coterie of political radicals and left-wing academics and gave them plum positions from which to leak to the press. So dedicated was Brennan to open political activism that he would walk the halls of the CIA in an LGBTQ “rainbow lanyard,” reports Bill Gertz of the Washington Times.

According to Gertz, Brennan turned his left-wing hires into “operatives” by fiddling with standards at the Directorate of Operations. These political hacks disguised as apolitical operatives had no more business receiving high-security clearances than Brennan himself did.

Recall the astounding admission Brennan once made at a “diversity” conference in 2016: that he thought he had “screwed” up his chances to enter the CIA after undergoing a polygraph test which smoked out his support for the American Communist Party during the Cold War. This sounds like a parody, but it isn’t. As he recounted:


quote:

This was back in 1980, and I thought back to a previous election where I voted, and I voted for the Communist Party candidate… I froze, because I was getting so close to coming into CIA and said, “OK, here’s the choice, John. You can deny that, and the machine is probably going to go, you know, wacko, or I can acknowledge it and see what happens.”… I said I was neither Democratic or Republican, but it was my way, as I was going to college, of signaling my unhappiness with the system, and the need for change. I said I’m not a member of the Communist Party, so the polygrapher looked at me and said, “OK,” and when I was finished with the polygraph and I left and said, “Well, I’m screwed.”



Unfortunately, he wasn’t. He entered the CIA, rose to its highest rank, and then salted the agency with fellow radicals, whose hatred for the “system” now takes the form of sabotaging the Trump administration.

Brennan and his leakers see no irony in becoming what they once opposed. In the 1970s, they cheered as the Church committee castigated the CIA for breaking laws. Now they use the CIA for their own dark arts and receive applause from ACLU-style liberals. They have gone from voting for communists to taping Russians, from fearing the unaccountable power of the system to wielding it shamelessly.

They marched through the institutions, stayed long enough to find the exits, and now booby-trap them as they file out. The trail of McGovernite liberalism ends as it began, in lawlessness, with a departing CIA director who behaved no differently than Daniel Ellsberg.



4) CIA under him spied on Senate.

The most likely source for most of leaked DNC documents was an internal leaker.

And they did the country a great service.

This isn't even news. Anyone on here with google, a laptop, $30 in equipment from Amazon and the ability to follow instructions has been able to do this forever. The software is out there and it's super easy to do an evil twin or man-in-the-middle attack even if you aren't a hacker and those allow you to see anything anyone using a router does.
