Putting lives back together after the battle.By FinalStand. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.Either you embrace Change and are destroyed by it, or you resist Change and are overwhelmed by it. What is your choice? (The Politics of 'Not' Being Dead)The rest of the trip was made in silence. They dropped us off at the edge of Miercurea Ciuc, home base of the 61st Mountain Troops Brigade, of Professor Loma and from whence all this craziness had originated. The meeting was already awkward before I arrived. It only got worse. Where to begin? Well, Russia, the United States, the UK, Romania, Hungary and Ireland were now all interested parties. And I had gained two personal distinctions:1.) Not only was I now heralded (and not really joking anymore) by some sources as Magyarorszag es Erdely Hercege, I was thereby re-awakening old nationalistic and territorial fears. Hungary didn't want a Prince, yet they did have an anemic Monarchist party. I might not be a Hapsburg (the last royal house of Hungary), but I could possibly be misconstrued as a long-lost Árpád scion (first King and founder of the Hungarian state), which would be even better.A crisis was looming in my ancestral crucible. It seems I already had a webpage in Budapest and six hundred "friends" within 24 hours. Worse, they had some pictures of me. Besides being 'of regal bearing' in the descriptions, I was sexy-hot and a soldier of fortune, a modern day 'Wild Geese, (Goose?)' who was wanted for questioning in a, or perhaps multiple, murder(s) involving either a duel over a woman's honor or killing a dozen armed gangsters who prayed on young innocents newly arrived to the big city.I wasn't alone. My trusty companion was A.) an ascetic Jedi Mistress (my own, personal Yoda), B.) an ancient witch schooled in the necromantic arts (apparently the reason I couldn't die), or C.) a Cold-War Era SMERSH (too much James Bond) assassin repaying an old debt to the descendent of an anti-communist partisan she'd killed years ago, eerily close to the truth for once. That, plus the TEK investigation, were Hungary's main points of concern involving me.2.) I was now a person involved in significant events for half a dozen nations on the world scene.Let's start with Romania. Okay, foremost, I was responsible for the single deadliest day in modern (post-WWII) Romanian Land Forces history. There was no covering this up. Close to one hundred men and women had died in combat, and then you added the forty-some dead Amazons, many of them apparently tortured, and this was a political and public relations nightmare.No one doubted their troops behaved heroically. That wasn't the problem. The political conundrum was how could they explain Ajax and his fifty seasoned killers penetrating into central Romania with no one being aware of the danger? A few politicians wanted to blame Székely nationalists (by that, they meant the ethnic minority who 'vaguely' wanted Transylvania to rejoin Hungary), except they had me, the Hungarian Prince, leading the charge.Life would have been so much easier for them if I had died. Yes, I could read the minds of those politicians. Screw a girl, then her younger sister, and then his wife, who all say they love me, and you'll recognized the emotional intent a father directs your way. (I'd only done that once, and once was enough.) I was getting that vibe again.Unfortunately for them, I wasn't dead and three big time foreign governments (and Ireland) seemed really curious about me, my performance and my mortality. So dragging me out back for a firing squad wasn't going to happen. Riki Martin of the US State Department was there and she told me a representative of the US Military Mission was on his way up to debrief me. Russia's sexy military attaché was still on site and looking happy for some reason. Flaviu, who had some experience with me, was soon to be gone; replaced by some person who had some serious lettuce before his actual name and didn't know me from didly. Not good.The UK had one of their diplomats coming up as well, just so I didn't get lonely. They weren't driving up with the Irishman, or the American. No one considers their carbon footprint in a crisis, I swear. But wait! It gets better. My Romanian Special Force dudes had brought the rest of their company (around a hundred new buddies) with them, they seriously didn't want me to get homesick and wander off (because, you know, I liked living and freedom).The Romanian army shouldn't have worried. It seemed that there were some US Army Rangers with NATO in Kosovo, Albania, or Bosnia and Uncle Sam was expressing a desire for them to 'stop by'. Maybe they could share their C-130 with the British paratroopers who were equally concerned about my well-being. I just hoped everyone was going to play nice when the Spetsnaz arrived. Putin was suddenly (and surprisingly to me, anyway) my new pal. I had a feeling I'd soon be discovering my secret Russian heritage if I wasn't careful. I was thinking maybe I could squeeze an Order of Lenin, or a Hero of the Soviet Union out of him. I heard they both looked nice, were obsolete and came without an actual pension.If Katrina wouldn't let me write off this calamity as PTO, I was going to be irate. I was on the verge of having a large family to support after all, unless you considered me marrying a billionaire's heiress to be compensation enough. The only group involved who weren't trying to actually see me was the Khanate.Temujin most likely had some shamanistic mojo that would let him know if I croaked. That bit smacked of paganism, so it was kept under wraps because he had to appear dutifully Islamic for the masses. Still, some koumiss would have been nice. Heck, right then I could have gone for an 'atta boy', perhaps even a 'two thumbs up'.Oh yeah; the general of the 4th Romanian Division wanted me to stop by when I had the chance (if I didn't, he'd send men to kill me, or so it was insinuated). The 61st Mountain Troops was part of his division's combat command and if the General Staff went looking for someone to crucify, he was making damn sure it wasn't going to be him.It occurred to me that I could send a handsome-looking Spetsnaz (if there was such a thing) to go in my place. They were brother Slavs, right? I was sure that between the 'Fall of the Berlin Wall', Moldavian Independence and Romania joining NATO, they would have much to discuss. Out of the blue, Pamela smacked me on the back of my head, Jethro Gibbs' style. My 'more-evil Russian doppelganger' idea must have been poorly thought out.Before I could implement that silliness, or trigger the big brouhaha, there was a preamble: I had three compatriots. Of greater importance, I had three heavily armed/gravely-serious bodyguards who wouldn't surrender their weapons and/or abandon me. So I thought "play nice" thoughts to myself.Diplomacy, sovereignty and legality all reared their ugly heads. I wasn't really an Irish diplomat. My paperwork was still valid, but the Romanian government hadn't permitted my entry into their country under the standard diplomatic protocols. Ireland wanted to talk to me about that, why was I running around armed and killing people in two Central European countries? I was acting more like an Irish adventurer from the 17th century, than a genteel civil servant from the 21st.Then there was the niggling little complication that involved me, my friends and our criminal possession of military-grade hardware. Chaz had the dubious excuse of being an official British government agent on assignment. That meant he could hope for a prisoner exchange within the next decade. Rachel and Pamela were private citizens with painfully sketchy proofs of US citizenship.When the Romanian legal system finished buggering them, it would be off to Hungry and its serious inquiry into all the dead bodies we'd left in our wake. Who was I kidding? What I was really worrying about was how many members of the Romanian penal system would die when they escaped. Their flimsy identities gave no clue to how dangerous they actually were. Hell, they'd beat me home.I had the added difficulty of Ireland and their questions about who the fuck I was and why I had their gold filigree on something I didn't deserve sitting snugly in my back pocket.So first off, this new band of 'Eagles' wanted to disarm and separate us."Don't insult me," I scoffed. "I am your Prince. Don't make me explain it to your widow.""I'm not married," the Lieutenant snarled back, daring me."Well, rush out and marry somebody. I haven't got all day. We don't want me to be caught in an idle boast now do we?" I grinned. Verbal sparring apparently wasn't in his repertoire."What?""Shut the fuck up, Carl," Chaz blithely inserted himself into the conversation."But you don't even speak Romanian," I countered. "How do you even know what I said?" The Romanians didn't know English, but they knew Carl. The tension between us ebbed."By the expression on the officer's face, Hercege," he winked. "It's universal to the brotherhood.""Who is he with?" The officer questioned me."You and he are the same," I answered."You cannot go any farther armed," he returned to his mission parameters."I don't envy you going in and telling the Colonel to come out here, but so be it," I held my ground."We could kill you and take them off your corpses," he studied my reaction."You are the second handsome man to tell me that today," I shook my head. "I'll tell you what I told him: 'you sure are cute, just not my type'." Pause then laughter."You are a madman," the lieutenant snorted. "I'll go talk to the Colonel."I was a jerk, loved maidens and was a master of bullshit. Did that make me a modern day Minotaur? The lieutenant came back out, then ushered me inside; Riki had to wait for the moment. He motioned my team come along. In the staff room of the 61st were a handful of officers and several suits."Mr. Nyilas," the Colonel gazed upon me. "I don't know what to make of you.""You and my Mother both," I mumbled. Despite the somber atmosphere, a few of the men and women let their moods lighten. They didn't hold my levity against me. I'd been there, on the battlefield and if humor was how I dealt with the experience, so be it."Ha," the greying man mused. "It is wholly my fault that I disregard most of the information you supplied my staff. You were unerringly accurate in your assessment of our enemy's capabilities. I know my men and I know how good they are. Veteran commanders can barely describe what my troops endured. You warned us and I didn't believe you. I was wrong and my men died because of it," he sighed."Sir, I do not believe you could have done anything else and succeeded," I interrupted."Succeeded? Is this what you consider success?" he hardened."Absolutely, Sir. Had you been slower to respond, those men would have most likely come here, to Miercurea Ciuc, and you would have fought the same battle, except your civilians would have been caught in the mix," I lied.If Ajax had escaped he'd have hunted me down. The location would have been irrelevant to him. How he knew where to be was a question for later and something to be presented to smarter, more experienced minds."Perhaps," he allowed. "They were heading north when we encountered them.The Alal in me was going back over the plan. It had been sound."Sir, you had every reason to doubt my military experience and to believe I exaggerated the threat. I was right and I take no joy in that, nor do I think anyone can hold your decisions against you," I stated.Now he gave a bitter laugh. Yes, they could hold all the deaths against him."We both know your men and women didn't die for their country, they killed for it. Quite frankly, I believe they killed some of the most vicious creatures to ever walk the face of the Earth. Fuck them for taking so many of us. Pile their bodies up and burn them," I suggested."They deserve no more Romanian soil than a spot to inter their ashes," I concluded."You do not sound like any diplomat I've ever met," the Colonel regained his gruff exterior."I'm not. I'm a fraud. I know as much about Ireland as I do about being a prince," I confessed. "That said, I didn't come here to kill anyone. I came to save lives.""How has that worked out for you?" a sitting woman in a suit questioned, in Romanian. She was slender, waspish and didn't sound comfortable speaking English, though she knew enough to get by."I am not a fortune-teller. I don't know how this is going to work out," I said."That's not what I asked," she prodded."Yes it was," I corrected her. "You wanted to know if I thought the price of your dead countrymen was worth the life of me, my friends and the lives of your countrymen I came to save. I can't measure the promise of those lives against the loss of all the dead. Don't play games with me. I'm have a degree in Philosophy and I eat morally ambiguous people like you for lunch."Pamela laughed aloud and lively."Kimberly and Katrina would be so proud of you right now," she chortled."I don't think you grasp the deep pit your find yourself in, Friend" the suit stayed chillingly calm."Oh, I think we all know we both screwed the pooch big time," I smirked. "The difference is me and mine are all happy to be alive after two of the most trying, fun-filled days of our lives. You want to throw us in prison. The Hungarians want to throw us in prison. I'm sure if I get back to the States, they will want to put us in prison too. Have I missed anyone?""I'm glad you will confess. It will make it easier on us," she grinned like sexy weasel."Wait," Rachel put a restraining arm on me. "I've wanted to say this for some time." To the weasel, "Blow it out your ass, dipshit.""Rachel, you don't know what she said," Pamela faux-gasped."I don't know the words, but I know what he meant," Rachel glowered. She missed Charlotte so much, she was willing to court pain and death. "I want to go back in time and slap her mother repeatedly for not strangling her in the crib. Is that succinct enough?""I apologize for ever meeting you, Rachel. I've brought you to a bad end," I gave her a tender look."It's okay. I never thought I'd live long enough to sleep with you anyway," she smiled back.Phifft, sigh. It was so sad that I recognized the sound of a low-caliber, silenced round."Listen up, dipshit," Pamela snickered. "Good one, Rachel. If you don't believe the next one is going through your skull, you clearly haven't been listening to us. You are fucking with the wrong monkeys. You have this bizarre idea that if I kill you, your government won't replace your worthless, bullet-riddled hide with someone we find more agreeable. My grandson sent in motion a half million combatants a few hours ago, he nearly died leading your soldiers against your nation's enemies and you want him to kiss your shoes as if you matter at all in the grand scheme of things?" she snarled. "Think again."No one was moving because Pamela had her silenced 22 Beretta out and pointed at Weasel's head. The SF's were caught flat-footed, as was everyone else. No guards came rushing in because the closed doors further muffled the sound. "I think this is a good time for us to get a drink," Chaz advised as he slowly reached out and lowered Pamela's gun hand.It was Pamela's gunboat diplomacy yet again. She hadn't meant to kill the women. Hell, she'd been a random target of opportunity. What Pamela had done was clear up the doubts in the room. Everyone on the staff could self-consciously let themselves off the hook for not being in the front lines, risking themselves with their comrades. Thanks to Pamela, they too had confronted violence.'Crazy' Grandma had fired off her piece and everyone sighed with relief when Chaz got her to lower it. I was pretty sure Chaz was in on this dangerous game. It resided with the Colonel as to how to resolve this hiccup in our dispute."Mr. Nyilas, why don't we take a walk outside, just the two of us?" he 'requested'.I nodded because I'm not always as dumb as I look. He was letting my people off with incredible temperance and I could honorably send them away. They'd scoped out the scene and believed I'd be safe enough. He, in turn, had an excuse to take a step away from his political watchdogs."I think that is for the best," I nodded. "Do you want me to leave my guns behind?""No, Mr. Nyilas, we might run into trouble out there and one of my Captains has suggested you are a man who can take care of himself," he replied. That was very nice of him indeed. If I did do something stupid, he had a ton of troops about who would make my regrets rather temporary. I decided to behave as if I had a passing acquaintance with sanity.His first questions were about the fighting at the ruins. I peppered our exchange with my interest in what had happened to the advance force of the 22nd. It was bleak news, yet the Colonel felt a sense of relief. He was coming to accept the lethality of his enemies, which in turn, led to an understanding, if not acceptance, of the carnage his men had been subjected to.He was in a cycle of context, grief, context. He'd gambled on me and men died. Once the battle was joined though, his soldiers had done precisely the right thing under considerable stress. He could be proud without dishonoring the dead. Only Pamela and I had engaged Ajax earlier. Only I had talked with the man.The Colonel had to look into my eyes to get the spark that led to understanding the mind and ruthlessness of his opponent. The name 'Ajax' never came up. That was more than a rational mind could accept at the moment. He knew his men had fought and killed the best and that helped him cope a tiny bit. Our interview ended when the first of the unwanted guests arrived.Only when I walked inside did it occur to me that this had been my first soldier to soldier chat. We had respected one another and discussed matters like men who knew the score. That was depressing in its own right. It was well passed nightfall when we went back inside. In our absence, Riki had started to redeem my existence. My salvation lay in Romantic Americana Symbolism.Translation: I was a Horatio Alger, a working class kid raised by a widower father, who earned a scholarship to a quiet New England college, graduated near the top of my class and gotten an excellent job (salary and benefits not disclosed). That was the was the first part of the Americana, proof positive that America was still the land of opportunity and a place where poor children could still reach the highest levels of society (umm, okay?).The second Americana Part: my Father had been murdered in a case of mistaken identity. Those heavily-armed foreign corporate/rogue governmental-sponsored terrorist mercenaries (their exact origin was shrouded in double-dealing misinformation) had ruthlessly murdered my Pa to cover up their error. Like any true Son of the American Dream, I had sworn vengeance.The Symbolic Part: My compassionate, understanding government (the good governmental servants of Republican Democracy, not the bad, hires the covert, secret, black-bag, unaccountable private contractors/ pawns of the Wall Street Elite bureaucrats) allowed me to participate in a multi-national taskforce. These selfless guardians of the freedom had formed a coalition which had hunted down the villains.With the priceless assistance of two Central European countries, who currently had to remain nameless (cough: Hungary and Romania), we'd achieved a final, violent confrontation in which my allies and I had emerged bloody, scarred, yet victorious. Once more, free men and women had answered the call of duty and some had made the ultimate sacrifice.See, I had a good government that cared enough about me to let me become a gun-toting menace to the civilized world. Like a Hollywood Western hero of the 1950's, 60's and 70's, I had taken personal revenge against the forces of wickedness, exit the railroad tycoons and cattle barons, enter the shadowy world of private security forces and uncontrolled corporate capitalism.

Thoughts on the readings for January 26th (Genesis 42, 43 Psalms 46, 47, 48, Matthew 28) In Genesis 42 we read of Joseph's 10 brothers being forced by the severe regional famine to go to Egypt to buy grain. Joseph, who was now the Governor in Egypt, spoke roughly to them in order to test them. Joseph did not yet know how events would unfold. The 10 brothers were accused by Joseph of being spies – buy your grain and go, they are told. After being drawn out by Joseph they say that there were originally 12 brothers, and 1 is dead and the youngest remains at home with his father. Part of the trial that the 10 are put through is to endure imprisonment for 3 days (surely Joseph intended to cause them to reflect on their past evil deeds; and to, perhaps, experience some of what had befallen their brother at their hands). Joseph's action had the desired result and he listened to their self examination (since he used an interpreter to talk with them they failed to perceive that he understood their discussions). They had talked of their guilt over what they had done to Joseph. Simeon is kept bound by the Governor, as the brother who bore the greatest responsibility for what was done. The others were sent home with a warning to not return without their youngest brother. Their money was placed in the mouth of each man's sack. They discovered this after stopping to feed their animals. They were concerned that God was telling them that what they did to Joseph was being visited on them by the Almighty. When they returned home they told Jacob everything that had happened to them. Their father's response is to chide them for their loose speech about Benjamin. Jacob also bemoaned his own loss of his two sons, and to say he will never let them take Benjamin when they return to Egypt. Reuben foolishly says to his father to take his two sons as security; and that Reuben will bring Benjamin back with them. He also says that failing that Jacob can kill Reuben's sons. How carnal was this suggestion. Chapter 43 deals with the brothers' return to Egypt. Judah takes the lead in encouraging his father to act responsibly for Jacob's family. Jacob tells his boys to take a present for the Governor of the specialties of the Promised Land – honey, gum, myrrh, pistachio and almond nuts. Finally Jacob invoked the divine blessing upon them. Joseph became emotional on seeing Benjamin, his younger brother. The brothers are invited to dine at the Governor's house. Suspiciously they tell the steward about the returned money. Don't worry he said, I got your money; what you found must have come from your God. Simeon was then restored unharmed to his brothers. On his return Joseph enquired of them as to the welfare of his father. He emotionally leaves his brothers to weep privately. Joseph, acting like an Egyptian, sat at a separate table. The brothers were amazed by being seated in order from eldest to youngest. Food was sent from Joseph's table to their table; with Benjamin's serving being 5 times that of each of his brothers.

The brothers were amazed by being seated in order from eldest to youngest. Food was sent from Joseph's table to their table; with Benjamin's serving being 5 times that of each of his brothers. Psalm 46 is another from the pen of the sons of Korah. It speaks of great confidence in the Almighty and His control of circumstances. It speaks of His awesome plans for the earth to bring peace for all time; and to cause war to cease. What an inspiring vision. What heartfelt prayers does this cause in His people. What confidence that He rules our lives now; as He soon will in this earth through the rule of His Son. “Yahweh of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.” This is a recurring sentence and beautifully highlights the fact that the God manifest powerfully in hosts – of angels, stars and saints – is the same God who mercifully accompanies and protects the weak individual human, the Jacob. Again we have in Psalm 47 another from the sons of Korah. All nations are commanded to praise and extol their Sovereign king, who reigns over all the earth through His Beloved Son the Lord Jesus Christ. All the Gentile nations have been subdued and subjected to the one in whom the Father's authority has been invested (Psalm 8 verses1-9; Psalm 2). And Israel has as the LORD's heritage and chosen people been exalted to headship over all other nations. God's victory trumpet has signalled His triumph in the earth. Let all peoples praise and extol their glorious King, who by His wisdom has fulfilled His promise to Abraham (Genesis 12 verse 3; Romans 4 verses 13). And has in that process delivered and protected His people. Psalm 48 is a further Psalm from the sons of Korah in which they celebrate the elevation and coming glory of Zion (the Jerusalem of the kingdom age). It is a magnificent city of glorious beauty that brings forth praises and joy to all peoples. It is lifted up upon a mountain raised by a great earthquake (Zechariah 14, Isaiah 2 verses 1-5). Those who walk about its towers and great walls are struck with awe and wonder by what they see. It is now indeed the Eternal City; rescued from war and become the centre of worship and blessing. Its citizens rejoice and wholeheartedly thank their Sovereign for His accomplishments. Meditate on this and praise the Almighty from generation to generation for all eternity. God had always guided His faithful people and will continue to do so for ever. Jerusalem watchers of all ages are exhorted to give God “no rest, till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth” (Isaiah 62 verse 7). Matthew 28 tells that just after 6pm on the Sabbath Jesus was raised from the dead in a dramatic and terror induced experience for the guards who witnessed the angel's powerful demonstration. This provided incontrovertible evidence of the event by impartial witnesses who were in the pay of our Lord's enemies. The risen and glorious Lord Jesus Christ went to meet with them in Galilee, as he had arranged before his death, to give them further infallible proofs of his resurrection and to give them the great commission to carry the Gospel message into all the earth. What comfort is there in his concluding words, “Lo I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Penned by Warwick Rosser and his team, produced by Christadelphianvideo.org

UnitedHealthcare has confirmed that it paid a ransom to the cybercriminals that breached its subsidiary ChangeHealthcare. What additional measures are UnitedHealth taking to monitor and mitigate the fallout from this breach? AI is swiftly becoming a double edged sword in U. S. elections, with over 60, 000 daily cyber threats being mitigated against election bodies as we approach the critical 2024 election cycle. How can we balance the advancement of AI technology with the security and fairness of upcoming elections? And finally, researchers have discovered a vulnerability in the discontinued Apache Cordova App Harness project, allowing attackers to inject malicious code into the software supply chain, impacting unsuspecting users worldwide. So you may have heard that Change Healthcare was breached, it caused a lot of problems, well it just came out that the UnitedHealth Group who owns Change Healthcare has admitted to paying a ransom during the cyber attack that occurred in February. Their aim was to prevent further exposure of sensitive patient data. A spokesperson for UnitedHealth revealed to Healthcare Dive that the breach involved protected health information and personally identifiable information which could potentially impact a vast number of Americans. Further complicating the situation, it was discovered that 22 screenshots of what appear to be stolen files were posted on the dark web. These images, some containing detailed patient health information, were accessible online for approximately one week. And anything that goes online, it's really hard to get it off. But UnitedHealth has confirmed its ongoing efforts to monitor the internet and dark web for any signs of the compromised data. The ransom payment details remain undisclosed. However, a UnitedHealth spokesperson emphasized that the payment was crucial to the company's strategy to safeguard patient information. Reports have been circulating about the ransom, with Wired Magazine last month suggesting that a known cyber group, ALF or Black Cat, received a payment that looked Suspiciously like a ransom transaction. Additionally, TechCrunch reported that another cyber group, RansomHub, has threatened further disclosures of sensitive records to extort money from UnitedHealth. So if you're not tracking that situation, there is an episode, I don't know, a month or so ago, that lays it out a little better. But BlackCat. is assumed to have performed an exit scam on the dark web and a new ransomware group called Ransomhub acquired the data? and is double extorting UnitedHealthcare. UnitedHealth reports that medical claims, processing, and payment systems are slowly returning to normal, with Change now handling about 86 percent of its pre incident payment volume. UnitedHealth anticipates that the financial toll from the cyberattack could reach 1. 6 billion this year. It is also unlikely that Change will fully recover to its standard service levels before 2025. So in the wake of the incident, major healthcare associations have reached out to the HHS office for civil rights, seeking clarification on who is responsible for issuing data breach notifications to avoid redundancy and confusion among patients. UnitedHealth is preparing to take on the breach reporting and notification responsibilities for all customers potentially affected by this incident, marking a critical phase in addressing the fallout from this significant data breach. So it's no secret that the introduction of artificial intelligence, or large language models, or machine learning, or whatever you want to call it, chat GPT, has really thrown a wrench into the content that's on the internet, from your advertisements, to actual news articles, to podcasts, to anything you consume is now probably being touched by large language models in one way or another. And this is going to have a huge effect. over the upcoming United States 2024 election cycle. As this election looms, the balance of power hangs between defending our digital frontiers and ensuring fair electoral processes. Recent reports from Cloudflare highlight the intensity of this battle, revealing over 60, 000 daily cyber threats against U. S. election bodies, which is a staggering number that underscores the global stakes within 70 elections in 40 countries also on the line this year. AI's dual nature presents a formidable challenge. It's a tool that can both safeguard and undermine the electoral process. The ease with which AI can fabricate convincing digital personas and disseminate misinformation across social platforms is alarming. This capability has turned social media into a double edged sword. prompting New York City Mayor Eric Adams to label it an environmental toxin. On the defense side, there is a pressing need for stringent AI regulation and robust cybersecurity measures. The Biden administration has responded by establishing a task force aimed at combating AI generated misinformation and bolstering public awareness about the potential misuses of this technology. The legislative landscape is also evolving, with states like Texas and California pioneering criminal penalties for the misuse of AI in political campaigns, several proposed bills in Congress seek to regulate AI more broadly. Check out the articles linked in our show notes for more information on that, it's a very interesting topic. tactic that these states are using against misuse of AI. To fortify our elections, experts suggest that political parties and candidates should consider appointing dedicated AI and data protection officers. This strategy parallels traditional physical security measures and is complemented by initiatives from organizations like the Center for Internet Security, which continues to refine tools that enhance the cybersecurity of election systems. Now, this isn't breaking news, but it continues to evolve as we get closer to the election, and we're not there yet. We're not in a place that we can confidently identify artificially created content and label it as such, or as untrue, or misleading, etc. Accurately. and The only way we'll ever be able to safeguard against this is with a foolproof method to do this labeling, remove the content from certain platforms, and just have an understanding of what constituents are consuming. We don't even have that. So we have a long way to go in the next coming months, and we'll try to keep you posted here on the Daily Decrypt. And finally, for our more technical folks, a concerning vulnerability has been uncovered in an archived Apache project known as Cordova App Harness. This vulnerability called a dependency confusion attack has researchers sounding the alarm. So dependency confusion attacks occur when package managers prioritize public repositories over private ones, allowing threat actors to sneak malicious packages into the mix. As a result, unsuspecting users may inadvertently download these fraudulent packages instead of the intended ones. So according to a report by the cloud security company Orca, nearly half of organizations are vulnerable to such attacks. That's a lot. While fixes have been implemented by NPM and other package managers to address this issue, the Cordova app harness project was found to have a vulnerability of its own. The project, which was discontinued by the Apache Software Foundation in 2019, lacked proper internal dependency referencing, leaving it wide open to supply chain attacks. The security firm LegitSecurity, sounds legit, demonstrated how easy it was to upload a malicious version of the dependency, attracting over 100 downloads before being detected. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks associated with using third party projects and dependencies, especially those that are no longer actively maintained. As security researcher Ofek Haviv points out, neglecting these projects can leave software systems vulnerable to exploitation. The Apache security team has since intervened by taking ownership of the vulnerable package. That's huge. But the episode underscores the importance of vigilance in software development practices. So we're going to continue to rely on open source projects, but it is crucial to prioritize security and regularly update dependencies to mitigate potential risks. That's all we got for you today.

A former Boeing employee and whistleblower, John Barnett, known for his courageous stand against production standards at the aerospace giant, was found dead over the weekend. We delve into the troubling details surrounding Barnett's passing. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, former special counsel Robert Hur testified before Congress today, exposing President Biden's lies surrounding his handling of classified documents. The Justice Department's investigation revealed evidence that Biden kept documents for personal gain, including a book deal. Additionally, Congress is once again targeting TikTok. A House panel recently passed a bill giving TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, 165 days to sell the platform — a bill President Biden indicated he would sign if passed by Congress. Congressman Thomas Massie argued that the TikTok ban is actually a Trojan horse to give President Biden the power to ban websites.

Subscriber-only episodeNearly 20 ago, two retired New York Police Department detectives started tracking the suspicious drowning deaths of young men across the country. Victims—typically white, athletic, college students—had appeared in multiple cities and states along the I-94 corridor, which passes from Michigan to Montana. Suspiciously, near many of the victim's bodies investigators would find graffiti smiley faces. These detectives theorized that these drownings were not drownings, but homicides that could possibly have 300 cases linked to a potential serial killer or killers, and this became known as The Smiley Face Killer Theory. This theory was criticized by the FBI, but in 2022 there were 11 "accidental" drownings in Chicago's Lake Michigan and 4 in Austin's Lady Bird Lake bringing us back to this theory...are the Smiley Face Killers back? Sources Available Upon Request.  Thanks for listening!

After Bronny James' recent cardiac arrest, many people are beginning to wonder why we aren't being told the full story as to the cause. It's entirely possible this was a one-off event, but given the velocity with which we're hearing stories like this, it's hard to deny something is going on. Sara Gonzales, BlazeTV host and vaccine expert, joins us to give her thoughts on the childhood vaccine schedule set by the CDC. Suspiciously, why is no one allowed to ask questions about this? For example, Congress attempted to censure RFK Jr. for spreading “malinformation.” That doesn't mean anything he said wasn't accurate. It simply means what he is saying is detrimental to the overall narrative. A man shot and killed his “pregnant boyfriend” in a murder-suicide. If that sentence doesn't make sense, don't worry, because it's intended to be confusing. This is why they keep changing the language. The Carlee Russell story fell apart, as it turned out to be a hoax with her own lawyer explaining there was no child and the story was fake. Dylan Mulvaney is advertising his services to speak at college campuses because no sane brand is willing to have him advertise its product. Australian scientists were to merge brain cells with AI because apparently no one has ever watched a science fiction movie before.

I go through another true crime story, this time looking at Elijah McClain, a very gifted neurodiverse individual who was misunderstood by law enforcement and unjustly killed without any offense.Today's episode is a true crime series focused on the story of Elijah McClain, whose family described him as an athlete, pacifist, spiritual seeker, oddball, and extremely gentle soul. Based on this, the circumstances surrounding his death as narrated by the authorities do not add up. Born in 1996, his mum could tell he was exceedingly gifted. Sadly his talent was misunderstood and the schooling system didn't cater to kids with specific needs or he would have had the assessment to get a diagnosis of some form of autism.Elijah's mother decided to school him at home believing that it would match his learning style. It worked as he learned to play musical instruments. By 19, he got a certificate as a Massage Therapist and also incorporated traditional healing practices into his work. He also enjoyed running very long distances without any exhaustion. Despite his physical activities, he always felt cold and had to use long sleeves and face covering all the time. This face covering would become a factor contributing to his demise. On the 24th of August 2019, at 10:30 pm, the police were called concerning a sketchy person wearing a face mask at a gas station close to Elijah's home. On arrival at the scene, they had tried to call his attention from behind him unsuccessfully, and not realizing he had headphones on, they engaged him physically using handcuffs to restrain him while he was faced down on the ground. Additionally, they went ahead to place him in a chokehold, with claims that he was agitated. He vomited and was later injected with ketamine which put him to sleep. Unfortunately, while in an ambulance to a nearby hospital, his heart stopped. Despite resuscitation, he failed to regain consciousness even on life support till it was turned off. Suspiciously, all 3 police officers claimed their body cams were knocked off during the arrest which made them unusable. They claimed that he was uncooperative but when the audio from the body cam was released, it was clear that he was complying. The audio also revealed that an officer had said that the camera should be moved, and showed Elijah explaining himself with an ID card. The audio extracted revealed that despite his cooperation, he was placed in a choke hold during which he still tried toSupport the showJoin, support, and access exclusive episodes now.Sarah is offering a six-week coaching program for neurodivergent and neurotypical professionals who want to improve their career prospects, business development and support with the PRINCE2 practitioner exam.

China's economic results for July were "gruesome", the rest of the year not been much better. That's troubling enough but when the yuan doesn't move a scintilla for weeks it suggests the People's Bank of China is fighting hard to prevent a depreciation -- maybe even a devaluation?****DISCLOSURES****Jeffrey Snider (The Promoter) is acting as a promoter for an investment advisory firm, Atlas Financial Advisors, Inc.

Mister Kalinowski is neither employed by AFA nor does he receive any compensation from AFA -- not even the expensive gift basket that comes with those fancy nuts. El señor Kalinowski does not offer investment advice. Nevertheless should you torture a statement by him into taking on the form of advice, or perhaps the shape of a suggestion -- let's even say a contortion resembling a hint -- AND then act on le monsieur Kalinowski's 'recommendations'?  Well, YOU WILL LOSE MONEY! Even if you do the opposite of o senhor Kalinowski's 'advice' you will ALSO lose money -- it is some kind of a paradox (both the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Securities and Exchange Commission are investigating). The Kalinowski's only guidance is that you do not listen to him for any purpose other than deep, rapid eye movement sleep.

This listener noticed a large dent and damage to her car. The only places she had been, were home and work. She also noticed that her boss's car had some damage that corresponded with the hit on her own. Suspiciously, the boss has started parking elsewhere this week when they both normally park in the same spots daily. He's said nothing to her about it. Should she go to HR or go the non-confrontational route? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/the-bert-show.
