Hungary: “Brussels makes confession about migration”

Brussels has in effect made a confession that its concepts of migration that the Hungarian government claims would increase migration to Europe do indeed exist, Zoltan Kovacs, the state secretary for international communications and relations, said.

“The Hungarian government regards these as dangerous”, Kovacs told a press conference, commenting on the European Commission’s critical response to the government’s campaign on migration. A legal proposal on the compulsory distribution of migrants within the bloc does exist and the European Commission has also confirmed that it is still pushing for the settlement of migrants from outside the EU within this framework, he said.

“The commission has admitted that migrants staying in Greece receive bank cards, so far costing 110 million euros”, he said. It has also“confessed” to a desire to strengthen border guard units controlled from Brussels, Kovacs added, noting a comment by German Chancellor Angela Merkel that this could only work at the expense of national sovereignty.

Enraged India Amassing Tanks, 14,000 Bunkers Along Pakistan Border

The potential for major war to break out along the India-Pakistan border continues to build after Pakistan said it shot down Indian fighter jets over the disputed border region of Kashmir. India confirmed only one downed aircraft, and its foreign ministry also said a Pakistani jet was hit in retaliation, going down on the Pakistani side of the border, but what is known for sure is that an Indian pilot is currently in Pakistani military custody after his plane was struck.

Amidst international calls for calm led by both the US and China, the fate of the captured Indian Air Force pilot could be key to whether tensions escalate to full-blown war, or return to an uneasy status quo.

But it doesn't look good: throughout the early evening on Wednesday there are increasing reports of tanks and heavy artillery being amassed along the border on both sides, specifically near the Pakistani border town of Sialkot, where video appears to confirm major Pakistani Army deployments.

Though Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan in a televised address to the nation called for immediate peace talks between the bitter enemies, saying that “better sense should prevail,” Indian leaders and the public were enraged when Pakistan released a video of the detained Indian pilot, filmed identifying himself as Commander Abhinandan Varthaman.

Cellular networks flaws expose 4G & 5G devices to IMSI capturing attacks

A team of researchers has disclosed their findings at the NDSS (Network and Distributed System Security) symposium 2019 held in San Diego, revealing that cellular networks have certain vulnerabilities that can potentially affect not only 4G but 5G LTE protocols to IMSI capturing attacks.

The findings of their research have been published in a paper titled “Privacy Attacks to the 4G and 5G Cellular Paging Protocols Using Side Channel Information.” Purdue University researchers Syed Rafiul Hussain, Elisa Bertino, and Ninghui Li and the University of Iowa researchers Mitziu Echeverria and Omar Chowdhury collectively conducted this research.

According to their research [PDF], the newly identified vulnerabilities can let remote attackers bypass the security layers in 4G and 5G due to which IMSI (International mobile subscriber identity) capturing devices such as Stingrays can easily intercept phone conversations of users to detect their location.

Despite Sheriffs Protests, New Mexico Gun Control Bill Advances

While lawmakers in New Mexico have shown their desire to pass gun control regulations, sheriffs throughout the state have made a stand saying they won’t enforce the new laws. Since an unenforced law is nothing more than words on a piece of paper, many may have hoped that this would be enough reason for New Mexico lawmakers to take a step back from the gun control ledge.

Well, it looks like they’ve decided instead to go off at a sprint.

Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham pushed back Tuesday against “rogue” county sheriffs who object to a state legislative proposal to expand background checks on firearms sales.

The state House and Senate have approved nearly identical bills to expand background checks to almost all private gun sales in New Mexico, and the House on Tuesday pushed forward with final approval of a Senate version that exempts gun sales to relatives including aunts, uncles and cousins.

The background-check bill is part of a slate of Democrat-sponsored proposals designed to stem gun violence that have drawn criticism from all but a few of the state’s sheriffs, while at least 18 counties have adopted “sanctuary” resolutions that say sheriffs should not be required to enforce any measures they consider unconstitutional.

Virginia Legislature Thwarts Bloomberg’s AG Environmental Attorney Scheme

Budget language prevents AG from accepting lawyers paid for by outside sources

Attorney general offices (OAGs) that are participating in the program have countered that they have full control and discretion over the work the Bloomberg attorneys are performing, and are claiming that fact made the program legal and free from any ethical conflicts.

Lawmakers in Virginia appeared to disagree with the OAG rationale
