I'll start with just the beginning. News of this part came out some time ago. There's a hidden co-CPU sitting on the main CPU of every Intel / AMD / and I don't know what other brands, I checked how far back it goes, but I don't remember, maybe i5, but I'm just guessing. Intel calls it their Intel Management Engine. It can call out anytime, even when the machine is off. It leaves no traces of its activity on the machine. I found this part on Jim Stone, but his version might be limited hangout, because it's way bigger than that.
Think of every piece of tech on the planet, personal, commercial, industrial. This isn't some small backdoor to one port kind of thing, this isn't about e-mail as the egress, or any other similar backdoor exploit. This is a planet raped while drugged, by an army. The Talpiot Program is where people are trained to run the overarchiing system that this is a part of.
If I could focus, I would research to see if it's worth saving up my nickels and dimes to get one of these:
'''Wanna exorcise Intel's secretive hidden CPU from your hardware? Meet Purism's laptops"

Now that I think about it, I seem to remember reading there are exploits going all the way back to the first machines.
