Was Michael Hastings Murdered?

Good piece by Red Ice Radio:




Personally, anyOne who thinks the car WASN'T rigged with explosives and then taken over remotely has NO sense of forensics whatsoever.

if you were anywhere but here.the shills would have dogpiled this thread.looking forward to the rolingstone mag article .soon to come out.i agree it looks like murder.maybe even drone murder.

I have to say yes. It seems to be the way the world operates now when someone goes viral on secrets. I knew about this control of automobiles for some time and there have been rogue test done on unsuspecting people driving hondas and toyotas who were used to go full throttle crash by remote control and kill innocent victims. Unfortunately for these drivers who were targeted, they had to be imprisoned for reckless driving claiming their car suddenly took off all by itself. After all, that dirty little secret tech had to be kept secret just like remote flying airliners and now trains and buses.

Technology is being delivered to us for a reason and it seems to be our open arms that get us in trouble as that tech is used against us later down the road. It's got us in their grip to do with us as they please.

As it now stands, they can kill you walking on a street by remote car kill or drop a plane on your house to burn you up and it goes on and on. This planet has become a madhouse of thrilling horrors killing people.

Kathleen Fisher from DARPA recently did a presentation on the ease of hacking a standard American sedan.

Here she is speaking on DARPA's High-Assurance Cyber Military Systems (HACMS) program:



DARPA's High-Assurance Cyber Military Systems (HACMS)

Embedded systems form a ubiquitous, networked, computing substrate that underlies much of modern technological society.  Such systems range from large supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems that manage physical infrastructure to medical devices such as pacemakers and insulin pumps, to computer peripherals such as printers and routers, to communication devices such as cell phones and radios, to vehicles such as airplanes and satellites.  Such devices have been networked for a variety of reasons, including the ability to conveniently access diagnostic information, perform software updates, provide innovative features, lower costs, and improve ease of use.  Researchers and hackers have shown that these kinds of networked embedded systems are vulnerable to remote attack, and such attacks can cause physical damage while hiding the effects from monitors.

The goal of the HACMS program is to create technology for the construction of high-assurance cyber-physical systems, where high assurance is defined to mean functionally correct and satisfying appropriate safety and security properties.  Achieving this goal requires a fundamentally different approach from what the software community has taken to date.  Consequently, HACMS will adopt a clean-slate, formal methods-based approach to enable semi-automated code synthesis from executable, formal specifications.  In addition to generating code, HACMS seeks a synthesizer capable of producing a machine-checkable proof that the generated code satisfies functional specifications as well as security and safety policies.  A key technical challenge is the development of techniques to ensure that such proofs are composable, allowing the construction of high-assurance systems out of high-assurance components.

To all those who think they can't hack cars (Or any other device with embedded processors) wake up!

Field Test of the Technology 2010

Relatives of a California state trooper and three family members whose fatal car wreck helped start Toyota's wide-ranging safety recall have sued the automaker for defects they say caused the vehicle to speed out of control and crash.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in San Diego Superior Court, was the latest in a wave of product-liability cases and other legal action brought against the Toyota Motor Corporation over complaints of sudden, unintended acceleration in its vehicles.

Mr. Saylor was driving his wife, their 13-year-old daughter, and his brother-in-law on a family outing when their car "began to accelerate on its own" and sped out of control despite Saylor's attempts "to apply the brakes and otherwise do everything possible to stop" the car, the lawsuit says.

The car reached speeds of up to 120 miles per hour before it struck another vehicle, plowed through a fence, hit a berm and flew through the air, then rolled several times into a field and burst into flames.

Remote Control Planes/Cars/Buses/Trains, you name it they have it. Their technology is 50-60 years ahead of ours.

It's the psychopaths at the top of the money/power heap.  With stigmergic development and no motive for war (no money, profit), open source and all, such control would not exist.

As a GM mechanic and GM certified  I hated the fly by wire system in the vehilces. It makes it so easy to hack and also power steering is fly by wire now so is the throttle body on most vehicles. I had a pedal stick that was fly by wire, thank lord it was on a rack while I was listening to a noise.
