- Intelligence Gathering: Israeli intelligence agencies, like Mossad and the elite military signals intelligence Unit 8200, conduct extensive hacking operations to gather intelligence on adversaries. For example, they spent years hacking nearly every traffic camera in Tehran to monitor Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s movements, aiding in later military strikes.
- National Security and Defense: Cyberattacks are used as a strategic tool to counter perceived threats, particularly from Iran and its proxies. This includes efforts to disrupt Iranian nuclear programs (e.g., the Stuxnet worm) and degrade command-and-control capabilities to prevent retaliatory strikes.
- Disrupting Infrastructure: Israel has been linked to sophisticated cyberattacks on critical infrastructure in rival nations, such as the attack on an Iranian port facility that caused widespread disarray, reportedly in retaliation for an Iranian attempt to target Israeli water infrastructure.
- Commercial Spyware Development: Israeli cybersecurity firms develop advanced, military-grade spyware like Pegasus, which can infiltrate mobile phones to extract data. These products have been sold to governments worldwide, though their use to target activists and journalists has drawn criticism and scrutiny.
- Strategic Partnerships: The strong relationship with the United States, including intelligence sharing and advanced technological partnerships, enhances both countries’ cyber capabilities and provides a strategic advantage in the Middle East
Israeli spies spent years hacking every camera in Tehran to monitor Ayatollah Ali Khamenei:
Israeli spies spent years hacking nearly every traffic camera in Tehran so they could monitor Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei before he was eventually wiped out, according to a report.
The cameras, including one directly pointed at Khamenei’s closely guarded compound, allowed Mossad to build highly specific intelligence files that aided Saturday’s deadly strikes, multiple sources told the Financial Times.
“We knew Tehran like we know Jerusalem,” an Israeli intelligence official claimed.
Some of the images obtained from the cameras allowed Mossad operatives to determine “a pattern of life” for Khamenei’s security guards — including exactly where they parked their cars, their addresses and whom they were tasked with protecting, the sources said.
The data were among the trove of information used to carry out the strikes on Khamenei’s Tehran compound on Saturday — just as a massive meeting of the Islamic Republic’s security officials was underway.

Nah, really?
Yeah, well, Plato and Socrates? Nah . . . . Andrews speaks with passion, but also exasperation at the false promise of change in a world that he believes is structurally hostile to Black emancipation. Changes that come after moments of raising awareness, such as Black Lives Matter, are too often hollow diversity, he believes. They may make “the number of Black people in an institution rise”, but do nothing to make those organisations operate in a more equal way. “People ask me all the time: is it terrible that I’m one of just 140 Black professors in the UK? Certainly. But if there were 600 Black professors, would it change anything? No.” Real change, he believes, cannot come from elite, conservative white spaces, no matter how well populated with Black people, because such spaces are fundamentally antagonistic to change.
This also means that, no matter how high you climb, little changes. “You get into these places and it’s terrible. I’m a Black professor. Great. I’m still Black. The last three years of my career, outwardly, have been amazing. Internally, it’s been the worst three years of my life. Universities are some of the whitest institutions that exist and, the further up the hierarchy you go, the worse it gets.” He describes constant battles with management to effect change.
Yet he stresses that it is not just individuals or managers who are to blame. “The nature of these spaces means they can change us, creating toxic environments of competition that lead to the classic ‘barrel of crabs’ scenario, where we are struggling over each other to get to the top.”
His breath quickens. “The battles, the scars. I’ve just had to fight. I’m always fighting. I’ve probably done permanent damage to my mental and physical health establishing this Black studies course. Honestly, since launching the degree, learning to navigate through extreme levels of stress and bouts of depression has become part of the job description.” He believes it is not sustainable or, in the long run, useful. “I would think of it as a failure if, in the next five years, I haven’t left the university,” he says. “In five years, if you find me still here, tell me I’ve sold out.”
He wants to focus his energy on the grassroots, providing “an account of society from a Black radical perspective” – and to include his four children in his work. The first “celebrity” they could name was Malcom X; he takes them to his talks as often as possible and is working with them on a “Choose Your Liberation” children’s book, a choose-your-own-adventure story that explains Black politics. He laughs, remembering himself at that age. “I need to be careful that they don’t rebel against their father and end up joining the Tories!”

I fucking got caught up in this, man:
A national anti-poverty program offering to pay low-income residents of Lincoln County for information about their lives, is off to a slow start despite trying to recruit people since last fall.
The Family Independence Initiative is seeking 900 participants from Oregon’s Lincoln and Jefferson counties, the only two counties in the state picked for the pilot research program.
The two rural counties were chosen because they consistently fall in the lower third of Oregon counties for most measures of income, education and health.
Family Independence Initiative is an 18-year-old nationally-recognized non-profit based in Oakland, Calif. working to help keep low-income families from cycling in and out of poverty. The effort is supported by the Oregon Department of Human Services.
A representative of the nonprofit is holding meetings throughout Lincoln County, trying to recruit people who can receive $800 over one year if they submit monthly details about their income, housing, medical care and the like.
The goal is to have 450 families sign up in each county. But in Lincoln County just 50 have signed up so far with a goal of another 50 by the end of March, according to recruiter Paul Haeder of Waldport.
Understanding acronyms and skepticism
“Learn how to secure $800 for pilot project Lincoln County,” declared the recent post on the Waldport Library’s Facebook page.
The four adults who turned out for Haeder’s information session late last month were interested but skeptical. Their understanding may have been hampered by the esoteric terms and acronyms that peppered the presentation, like UCF (unlimited cash transfers) and “social capital”.
“What’s the catch?” asked one man.
Instead of the “top-down” approach to social services typically taken by state and federal agencies, the organization partners with families to “learn from them, connect families to each other and unlock dollars” to fund their goals, according to the group’s website.
Once enrolled, people get access to an Internet platform called UpTogether. That’s where they submit online journals once a month, and share information with others in their network, Haeder said.
That sharing is what FII means by “social capital” — basically, anything you can get for free from people you know, like a ride to your job, or help moving furniture.
Haeder said on the UpTogether website participants might solicit their network for advice on starting a business, or ride-sharing.
“The goal is to help families rise up,” he said, “to engage with people who go in and out of poverty and give them networking tools to end that cycle.”
“What FII wants is data and stories from the enrolled families or households,” he said. “From there, a hundred data points are recorded … so the heads of DHS can see what social services are missing and what families are really doing to rise out of poverty.”
Haeder says data security and privacy are key concerns he hears at his Lincoln County information sessions. He tries to allay that fear.
“When FII gets the data there are no names; when the state of Oregon gets the report from FII you’re a number, not a name,” he says.
A household can be comprised of a single person, a single parent, a couple with or without children, married or not. However, there are two conditions — enrollees must have an active email address and a banking account or debit card to accept the $800 in payments.
Haeder is conducting information sessions throughout the county. For details, he can be reached at 509-***-****, or paul@fii.org.
FII has established its networking communities in several major U.S. cities, including Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, New Orleans, Austin, Albuquerque and Oakland. The group was founded by Mauricio Lim Miller, author of the book “The Alternative: Most of What You Believe About Poverty is Wrong.”

Now it’s called UpTogether and Stand Together. Look at the funders.
Stand Together is a major philanthropic community and non-profit, founded by Charles Koch in 2003, focused on tackling societal issues like education, poverty, and addiction. It acts as an umbrella organization for a right-leaning, libertarian-oriented network that supports nonprofits, provides fellowships, and funds policy research to foster a free society.
I would have never done this $35 an hour gig if it had been with the Koch Brothers. They got rid of me when the FII went to Koch’s Stand TOgether.
The Impact of the Ruling: The 2010 Citizens United decision removed restrictions on corporate “independent” spending, a key legal shift supported by Koch-backed groups like the Cato Institute and the Center for Competitive Politics.
- Massive Political Spending: Following the ruling, the Koch network spent hundreds of millions of dollars to influence elections, including nearly $400 million in the 2012 election cycle alone.
- Political Infrastructure: The Kochs built a extensive political and policy “one-stop shop” that included think tanks and non-profits (501(c)(4)s) to influence policy long-term, essentially functioning as a shadow Republican Party.
- Focus on Issues and Candidates: Their efforts, primarily through AFP, focused on supporting conservative candidates, opposing environmental regulations, and fighting the Affordable Care Act.
- Advocacy for Donor Privacy: The Koch network has been heavily involved in legal battles to protect the anonymity of donors to non-profit groups, arguing that donor disclosure violates First Amendment rights, a position that found success in the Supreme Court.

“First, offenders would be required to wear electronic ankle bracelets that monitor their location and ensure they do not move outside of the geographical areas to which they would be confined. Second, prisoners would be compelled to wear sensors so that unlawful or suspicious activity could be monitored remotely by computers. Third, conducted energy devices would be used remotely to immobilize prisoners who attempt to escape their areas of confinement or commit other crimes.”

The Gigabit Society
Have you ever heard of “Gigabit Society”? Well, fasten your seatbelts and be ready as you will be starting to experience it pretty soon.
Sci-fi had already kind of imagined it (it was back in 1982 with Blade Runner in cinemas – although already in the ‘50s you could read books and watch movies set in a sci-fi environment) but today it looks as if we are almost there: self-driving and driverless cars – almost ready to be released on markets – drones delivering our parcels, AI assistants, real time info sharing and VR surgery – just to mention a couple of examples.
Virtual Reality, for example, has already started to change our lives, completely. The domains in which it will be applied are going to be many and not just gaming. Think about automotive, manufacturing, education, communication and entertainment, design and tourism, sport, commerce and medicine, and many many more.
The experience sits right in the middle of the process, it’s completely immersive and it’s set in an entirely digital environment – created as if it was a real place on earth.
Nowadays, every single industry is involved (at least a tiny bit) with what is known as Digital Transformation: no one can exist or not consider implementing a fast-tracked digitalization process. It is traveling at light speed but it will only be successful if all countries can cope with how fast technologies are changing.

Abstract
This article identifies adverse effects of non-ionizing non-visible radiation (hereafter called wireless radiation) reported in the premier biomedical literature. It emphasizes that most of the laboratory experiments conducted to date are not designed to identify the more severe adverse effects reflective of the real-life operating environment in which wireless radiation systems operate. Many experiments do not include pulsing and modulation of the carrier signal. The vast majority do not account for synergistic adverse effects of other toxic stimuli (such as chemical and biological) acting in concert with the wireless radiation. This article also presents evidence that the nascent 5G mobile networking technology will affect not only the skin and eyes, as commonly believed, but will have adverse systemic effects as well.
