ISIS releases new audio of leader al-Baghdadi saying 'caliphate' is doing well

 

 In the 24-minute audio, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi said airstrikes by the international coalition only increase his group's determination and resolve. The message was al-Baghdadi's first since May, and comes amid battlefield setbacks that IS has recently faced.

.

.If the Saudi-led alliance was truly Islamic, then it would fight the Syrian army and its Russian "masters," as well as Shiites and Jews, al-Baghdadi said.

.

 "It is unprecedented in the history of our Ummah (Islamic nation) that all the world came against it in one battle, as it is happening today. It is the battle of all the disbelievers against all the Muslims," al-Baghdadi said.

 All the disbelievers against all the muslims. That is to say , all the muslims (shiites) Isis hasn't butchered like chattel , enslaved, sold off for body parts on the black market, etc etc.

Oh wait , I get it. Those other muslims , like the 31 muslim nations that are opposing you , are disbelievers, like the Shiites. 

So how many True Muslims are there ? Just you guys ? That's about 30 000 right ? And the other 1.6 billion self styled muslims, they don't count , right ? 

  "We promise you, God permitting, that whoever participates in the war against the Islamic State will pay the price dearly."

 How dare you stop us from murdering you , turning your women into sex slaves , and selling off your men for body parts on the black market ? You better cease your resistance or we're going to kill you , turn your women into sex slaves, and sell your organs off on the black market ! 

Hmm....yeah ... right ...ok. So who wants to shoot one of these guys ? Wow , look at the line up ...

He threatened Israel by saying, "we haven't forgotten you" and "we are getting closer to you" every day.

 Except you're too busy murdering the false muslims first. You'll get around to the Israeli's later some time. Wow, it is too bad the Jews don't take new converts because I could see a lot of muslims deciding they'd like to be low on the list of priorities of who ISIS is going to kill next. 

Typical religious air head. He probably has no idea just how silly his speech is. Probably jumping up and down in rage shouting "I'm an Iman ! You have to die on my command ! or I'll kill you !"

   funny funny people.

 

 

ISIS, Facing Losses, Releases Recording Said to Be of Leader

 BAGHDAD — The Islamic State on Saturday released an audio recording of a speech purportedly made by the organization’s leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, in which he implored more Muslims to fight on behalf of his increasingly besieged group.

 

More Muslims must join the cause ! Wait, I mean more Sunni Muslims ! , The way we've been slaughtering the Shiite muslims like calflings it's probably pointless to ask them.  Wait ...I mean "Extremist Sunni" muslims. The way we've been slaughtering Sunni Muslims who arn't extreme enough for our tastes it's probably pointless to ask any of them.

Who's With Me ? Who wants to die for the cause ?

 

*chirping of crickets*

Google is trying to kill passwords. But what should replace them?

 "You authorize your phone to allow you to log in to your account. You go into a computer and type in your email. Then you get a message on your phone to allow the login. If you hit yes, the computer logs into your Google account without a password," he wrote. 

 So , Google gets your phone number in addition to forcing you to have a google phone.  They use that phone number to authorize your email . they sell that phone number to every spammer in the world, because that's how they make a profit. Half the hackers in the world now have both your phone number and your google email address, because that stuff is for sale , cheap. Or the id number of the phone itself (the actual handset , not the the phone number) is used for identification , in which case if you lose your phone every thing locked with it is wide open. 

I know that there are a lot of people out there that don't like passwords, but locking everything with a phone you're going to hang onto for three years, and is going to cost you 700$ to change (price of a new iphone) is not the answer. 

 

 

 

 

 

U of T tool tracks if the NSA could be tracking you

 

His research shows between 20 and 25 per cent of local Canadian Internet traffic gets routed through the United States, exposing the browsing habits of Canadians to organizations like the National Security Agency.

“Your rights are being violated without you knowing it,” he said, noting the NSA can intercept data at prominent Internet exchange points in the U.S. “We do so much of our transactions online now – banking and shopping – and we should be assured that we’re not being exposed to forms of state surveillance.”

Foolish , foolish man. Let me give you the guarenteed 100% effective tool for discovering if the NSA "could" be tracking you. 

Can you read this post ? 

If yes , you're online therefore the NSA can track you. 

If no ...why do you even care if no , not like you're actually reading this article or anything ....

Juniper Networks backdoor confirmed, password revealed, NSA suspected

 The next mystery to solve is where this unauthorized code comes from. Security advisories usually relate to vulnerabilities arising from defects -- mistakes programmers made. In this case, someone deliberately inserted a backdoor password into Juniper's devices. That's a huge deal. If it's the NSA (which looks possible, given one leak about a program called "FEEDTROUGH" that installs persistent backdoors in Juniper devices) then it will mean that the US government deliberately sabotaged tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of networks that were protected by products from a US company that is the second-largest provider of networking equipment in the world, after Cisco. 

 

 So the NSA penetrated Cisco routers already , that story was last year, the largest provider of security networking, and now they've penetrated Juniper, the next in line provider. 

So , do you still want to by a "made in america" security solution for your company ? 

Me either. 

Persistance pays off in track and field. But not in gambling , and not in spycraft. All it does in spycraft is make sure no one every buys products from your country again.

 

 

 

Shaw buying Wind Mobile in $1.6B deal

Article


Shaw Communications has reached an agreement to buy Wind Mobile in a transaction valued at $1.6 billion.
The Calgary-based telecommunications company says it will acquire a full interest in parent company Mid-Bowline Group Corp., which owns Wind.
The transaction is subject to a number of approvals that include the Competition Bureau and the Ministry of Innovation, Science & Economic Development.


 I'm screwed.
My phone company just sold me out to Shaw.
It may be time to try skype or a 15$ / month land line or something.
I'll have to think on this.

Edit ::: forgot ...still pending approval. Hasn't happened yet. 

Toronto stabbing suspect has 'impressive resume'

Toronto stabbing suspect has 'impressive resume'

.
.
.
 Rohinie Bisesar, 40, is facing charges in connection with what police are calling an unprovoked stabbing.
.
.
.

"Something has been happening to me and this is not my normal self," someone wrote from an email address matching Bisesar's name.
"I would like to know who and why this is happening. There is either a single person or more responsible and who and why would be nice to know."



 I'll tell you what happened , woman.  Your DNA is broken up into three sections, and the section that activates when you hit 35-40 just switched on , and it's got errors on it. And in your case, you lost your mind and are now loopy as a loon. 
It's the big house for you , my dear. Your sanity is gone and it isn't coming back. 


 

Talks to reform Ferguson, Missouri police make progress - U.S. Justice Dept

Ferguson Mayor James Knowles III did not immediately respond to a request for comment. However, he told the New York Times that the two sides are "very close" to a deal, and that "small sticking points" remained.

Citing officials, the newspaper said the agreement, which would be filed in federal court, would require new training for police officers and improved record keeping, along with a federal monitor.







So, in this agreement , James Knowles III , the mayor who signed off on robbing all those blacks blind and the ones that couldn't pay ,throw them into jail , is still mayor. And the cops that obeyed his orders are still cops there.


And there's no mention of returning the (black !) public's property that was taken from them, forgiving them the fines that were dished out from cops of dubious repute (they forgave any interest not already paid, but they didn't return any interest that was paid) any property that was confiscated was never returned, and anyone who was shot and killed was not ... ressurected , so to speak.


Basically , the Justice Department agreed that mayor James Knowles III could do whatever the heck he wanted and too bad so sad if your ass is black.


Welcome to Justice in America.

Const. George Duke facing assault charge after September crash

Const. George Duke, 52, was charged with assault, uttering threats to cause bodily harm and forcible confinement and was released from custody on a promise to appear in Brockville court in late January.

He remains suspended from duty with pay.

In October, Duke was charged with theft over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, breach of trust, unlawful possession of a restricted firearm, unsafe storage of a firearm, unsafe storage of ammunition, possession of a firearm without a licence and possession of schedule two substance.

It came after an 18-month OPP internal investigation that also led to charges against two other officers at the Leeds County detachment.

Duke has been an OPP officer for 20 years.

 

 This is actually a fascinating story. You have to understand ,a  friend of mine , whom we shall call "Wireless Toaster" has explained to me that you can't put cops in jail , their lives would be in danger from their fellow inmates, if you intend to kill someone you must officially assign them the death penalty. 

This legal loop hole, apparently , has kept every Canadian cop out of jail since the beginning of time. 

It will be interesting to see if this George Duke goes to jail (proving Wireless Toaster wrong) or if he gets off with just being fired, demonstrating a serious hole in our justice system, and we probably need to build a jail just for corrupt cops really quick before they figure out they're allowed to kill us normal civilians and get away with it. 

I've actually been waiting to bring this issue up for a while ...

 

 

 

Help Support Terrorism

Ottawa Police officers raise money to run school in Somalia

 

A group of Ottawa Police officers are raising money to help run a school in Somalia.
The school was built in 2012, from the fundraising efforts of Const. Moe Elmi, a community policing officer in the Herongate area, who dreamed of creating a brighter future for kids in his native country.

 Somalia is an unsecured country. Islamic Terrorists run around shooting and murdering people all the time. And Islamics are especially fond of schools , where new terrorists are trained and raised , not to mention young girls are taken to be trained to love being raped ...I'm sorry , that is a false accusation you can only make that accusation with four male witnesses agreeing with you , otherwise you just confessed to extra-maritial sex which is a death sentence in that country so you better stay quiet no matter what they do to you little girls ... and anyone who disagree's gets shot by the terrorists, thanks for standing in the same place ( a building) just waiting for them to drop by when the coast is clear. 

In other words. Thanks for supporting terrorism in the middle east. 

Secure the area first people, then let the civilians and schools and stuff in. Anything else is just handing stuff to the terrorists. 

 

Rogers Users and Sexual Abuse Accusations

Warrantless access to internet subscriber data OK sometimes, privacy czar says

 

 (Second last paragraph)

Rogers also had a special process to help with child sexual exploitation investigations by confirming a customer's name and address when provided with a computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address. This would allow police to obtain a search or arrest warrant.

 Dear Rogers Customers , 

Thanks to the police's ever growing need to access your records at any price, they will now begin accusing each and every rogers customer as a child abuser , so that they can get at your records.  You may rest assured that in this age of hackers , all of those false accusations will quickly become public knowledge , so anyone who's a rogers customer will now be subject to the same kind of black mail as those from the Ashley Madison web site hack. 

   Except you didn't actually have the fun of committing the crime , you're going to be black mailed , humiliated , lose your job, the works, for something you didn't do. 

Thank you for  your patronage. 

Sincerely , 

Ted Rogers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Refugee sponsors face moral, ethical dilemmas

 

...After investing so much, accepting the woman's decision was emotionally difficult for Le Jeune. She is now hoping to find a different refugee family to sponsor...

 

 Loosely translated, you are sponsoring a bunch of strangers. 

As a canadian , my primary concern would be if these people are going to go radical and start shooting people. And guess what ? You can't answer that question. These people are total strangers to you , you're hoping Canadian Foreign affairs can screen a bunch of people with no documents who could have come from anywhere, who know we're sponsoring "Syrian" refugee's, so of course they're going to claim to be from Syria. 

No one knows anything , and everyone hopes it will work out. 

Lets do the math. If you're only wrong one time in a thousand about these people, you've just let 25 terrorists into the country. 

Congratulations Justin Trudeau. You must be so proud. I'm going to hold you personally responsible if they blow up something. 

Not that anyone will care ... especially not him... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ten Thousand Refugee's

So. Good old Justin Trudeau has decided to settle ten thousand refugee's in the Ottawa area.

And by the way , the line up for community housing in ottawa is between four and eight years long.

So I gotta ask. Are they "budding in line" ahead of the canadian citizens taking those spots that people wait years, even a decade, for ?

if the answer is yes , whoa are people going to be mad.

if the answer is no , we've got a new budget just for refugee housing , then why arn't you providing a new budget for regular canadian housing ? Why are you bringing strangers into Canada who are going to live on welfare for years when we have a line up of homeless people years long waiting for homes ?

There isn't any way to deny it. Every refugee is cutting in line ahead of a canadian. Worse, all ten thousand of them headed for ottawa are cutting in line ahead of EVERY canadian who has been waiting years, and now just had a couple of extra years added to his wait time.

Thank you Justin Trudeau.

Budget Woe Joke

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Canadian_federal_budget



This comes under the catagory of "I hate people who cant do the math"

The budget in 2014 (including deficit   ) was 276 billion dollars.
That is to say , The Canadian Government had revenues of 276.3 billion dollars.

Trudeau is threatenning a 10 billion dollar deficiet (Ie: spend 10 billion more than the expected revenue).

10 / 276 = 0.036

Justin is spending 3.6% more money than he has.
oh wait ...he's a government. He can print money.
So ... inflaction next year will be 3.6 %.

Phhht ! That's pretty low. Talk to me when we get to 5%. Then I can demand a pay raise from my boss. 

Christmas drone invasion predictions concern authorities

 The number of drones flying through North American skies is about to get a boost, say industry insiders — causing serious concern for safety among aviation authorities.

 Yeah. Ok. Ummm...of all the worries I have in the world, a plastic toy with a propeller or two that can be defeated by simply DRAWING THE CURTAINS isn't high on the list , sorry. 

And while it may annoy people at the beach , the beach is in fact a public place. 

And I've seen these drones for like 35$ retail ? If they ever got in the way of an air plane the air plane engine would eat them alive and not even notice. 

Not going to panic, sorry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ransomware, bogus emails from your 'boss' mark growing skill of cyber-criminals

Cyber-criminals are hacking into corporate computer systems and using the public profiles of top executives to fine-tune email scams that are duping Canadians out of hundreds of millions of dollars each year, a CBC News investigation has discovered.

 

 My advice is simple : The moment you started getting bogus messages from your boss, it was time to shut it down. The moment you start getting hacked from the internet , it's time to shut it down. The "cost savings" and "improved communications" mean nothing in the face of the fact that now ,someone else is running the show, not you and not the owners. And that isn't tolerable to anyone. 

 

This is the end result of people collecting profiles on everyone  and selling them. They know your name , where you work , your title at work (bonus ! This guy's a CEO he must be so proud) there's a picture of him and his home address ... and they sell that to anyone. Of course some criminal is going to buy the stuff and use it in a scam. They'd be stupid not to. 

 Which ever CEO got his company hacked and lost a ton of money , I bet he's no longer saying "I'm not a criminal. I have nothing to hide. Who cares if they can see my photo and other details on face book ? "

 

 

 

 

Quebec's assisted dying law comes into effect today

 Ok then. I'm against the death penalty , and I'm against doctors killing people, whatever they choose to call it. More specifically , I'm against bureaucrats always looking for more and more "efficiency" having the right to kill. Be they the prisons, or the hospitals , or anyone else. 

I worked in a private company , answering phones and providing tech support for computers (and later , cell phones) . I remember fondly certain meetings where my supervisor called me (and the other workers under his authority) in to pass along instructions from the boss. 

He told us it was against policy to try and fix our stations , by swapping out keyboards and mice . There was a sub contracter who was charged with fixing them , and we were messing up his work tickets. Then he told us he expects us to totally ignore this policy and continue on as we were before. 

I remember him telling us we could hang up on one customer a month and it would be shrugged off as an accident. We should save that hang up for particularily annoying customers who wanted to babble on and on and on , and we were supposed to only spend 8 minutes on each call , but the call was now up to 45 minutes ... 

I remember the corperation introducing a contest to find new employee's , but the conditions to collect the "prize" were so insane that only one person in the call center ever actually collected. 

I remember being in a hospital , as a matter of fact , and they were trying to discharge me , meanwhile I was throwing up on the floor. They brought a wheel chair in and everything because there was someone else waiting for that bed so hurry hurry hurry ... (to their credit , they decided I was too sick to discharge, eventually, but I almost had to throw up on their shoes to get that)

You want to give these people the right to kill ? 

Forget it ! It will be a blood bath.

 

 

 

The FBI wants tech companies to 'change their business model

 "Instead, Comey is asking for the tech company to retain a readable version of that initial message, just in case."

 Basically , encrypt all you like, but keep an unencrypted copy for the FBI to supenea. 

This is rather like asking someone to lock the front door, but always leave the window open just in case they want to sneak in. There isn't any point in encryption if you deliberately file a non-encrypted copy of the message somewhere. You gotta know that copy is going to get hacked and stolen. Probably the whole database where you keep all those unencrypted messages will be stolen. Thus , encryption from your company is worthless. Thank you and good night. 

 

And on that topic , Why do you want a back door into everyone in the worlds encryption anyways ? To fight terrorism ? That is the claim , but NSA isn't fighting terrorism is it ? It's keeping data on every company in france worth a minimum of 100 million dollars USA  (everyone's email address, even the janitor) It's spying on Angela Merkel (chanceller of germany) You really think the german Chanceller is a terrorist ? No ... you're not fighting terrorism. You're stealing money, that's what you're doing. What do they call it ? Economic Intelligence ? Yes , Big companies in America make massive donations of millions of dollars to the government , and so government agencies spy on over seas corperations to try and give those corperations an advantage. 

This is my list of things we should ban because of terrorism. 

We should ban computers, I've seen terrorists using computers, honest ! 

We should ban guns ! Oh wait, the NRA in the usa is far too influential , you'll never be able to ban them. Let the terrorists legally purchase all the guns they like. 

We should ban planes. I hear about terrorists travelling around on planes all the time . 

We should ban phones. Terrorists definately use phones all the time.

We should ban fertalizer. It's just way too easy to make fertilizer bombs. 

We should ban the american dollar. Terrorists use it all the time. Seriously. They do. 

We should ban letting muslim immigrants into the country (any western country) unless they promise faithfully that they're not a terrorist. 

 We should ban locks. I hear terrorists make their dastardly plans behind locked doors all the time. No one should be allowed to lock their doors anymore. 

These are only a few of the things we should ban in the name of terrorism.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The NSA might be spying on Tor users 

 Privacy and encryption have been two very hot topics for the last few years. The Tor browser can help protect your privacy while online, but it may come at the cost of being spied on by the NSA.

 
Well first off  I highly recommend you get the heck off Tor as quick as possible. 

Do you know how , when you search on google and go to strange sites sometimes, once in a while , you get a bogus site thats run by untrustworthy people that are trying to scam you , infect you , get you to download something harmful , etc etc ? 

 On Tor , EVERY site is like that. It's ridiculous. You do a search and you get page after page of scammers. I'm a skilled techie and even I turn away and just don't use the thing. It's too risky , too dangerous , and mostly a total waste of time.  

 I suppose, if you're a newsie , and you need to contact someone in another country , you can both download a chat program (hopefully one with built in encryption) and communicate, but the average joe on the internet ? STAY AWAY . You'll get infected. Over and over and over.

That can't possibly be legal.

UBER TAXI PROBLEMS

Anti-Uber taxi drivers' protest blocks Queen and Bay for evening rush hour

After staging a protest inside city hall against ride-hailing service Uber, dozens of cab drivers moved outside to block the busy intersection at Queen and Bay Streets during the evening rush, despite pleas from the mayor and others not to impede commuters.



I hate people who can't do math.
I talked to a cab driver , well , several , here in Ottawa , I admit I'm not certain of Toronto , and I learned the following information (This was before Uber )
Rideau Center to the air port is 17 min and 15 km.
Blue Line and Capital its 2.85$ to get into the cab and 5$ for every 10 km

Uber wants 16$ for the above trip.
Blue line wants 10$ or so for the trip , assuming there's no traffic glitches (ie: you get charged for waiting at a stop light , traffic jams, etc )
So the price isn't that different.

What is different ?

Cabbies have to pay 80 000$ (yes, eighty thousand dollars) for permission to drive a cab , per year. This price is paid directly by the cab driver before he picks up his first fare. Then he gets his 15$ ,or so , for driving you from downtown to the air port.

So then , lets do the math. 17 min work gets you (15/17 = 88 cents a minute)  0.88 $
So , 40 hrs / week x 52 weeks / year * 60 min/hr =  110, 117.65 $ (a hundred and 10 thousand dollars)
Subtract your licensing fee and its 30 000$ / year. Now pay maintenance on your car , gas , etc, and it's closer to half , or less. Keep in mind you're driving this thing into the ground, 40 hrs week ,not just too and from work (10 hrs a week) so all maintenance / gas costs on a taxi start at quadriple what a regular car costs and goes up.

Basically , the only way driving a cab is worth anything is if you drive it 60 or more hours a week , and magically never get into an accident despite being exhausted all the time because of the ridiculous hours you work.

And we havn't even started in on dispatch fee's and insurance rates , which are much higher for taxis than regular cars.

Conclusion 

Taxi drivers have been enslaved , economically. They work hard, and the taxi companies and the city (who collects that 80k license) take all their money.

I favor Uber because the drivers pocket the money , not some bureaucrats who do nothing but keep track of how much money you owe them.  Heck , they don't even try and stop Uber , who isn't paying them their 80k a year. So what is a Taxi driver paying that money for anyways ?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

It's illegal to operate a cab without a license, but currently Toronto (according to the article above) is not enforcing that.
