Clinton Foundation gets another $5.5m from NZ taxpayers
Sourced from QRes#7600 .. OMG NZ really is cucked. Hold tight our NZ neighbros!
7 MAY 2018
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A subsidiary of the controversial Clinton Foundation is set to receive US$3.9m (NZ$5.5m) in taxpayer money in 2018/19, the New Zealand Taxpayers’ Union can confirm. This is in addition to NZ$8m given to the organisation since 2014.
Taxpayers’ Union Executive Director Jordan Williams says, “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) claims that the organisation in question, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, is a separate entity. This is absurd – the Clinton Foundation appoints the organisation’s directors, making it a subsidiary in legal terms.”
“The Foundation is currently under investigation by the FBI over the way it obtained donations while Hillary Clinton was US Secretary of State – the same period in which the New Zealand Government began giving the initiative money.”
“Taxpayers deserve confidence that aid commitments are made to help the world’s poor, not to win favours with foreign politicians.”
“Even if aid money was meant to be used for diplomatic purposes, the funding’s justification for no longer holds with Secretary Clinton out of public office. It seems that all taxpayers have to show for our generosity is a stop on her book tour!”
“The new Government should follow Australia’s lead and cut ties with Hillary Clinton’s potentially corrupt organisations. She is perfectly capable of raising money without handouts from the little New Zealand taxpayer.”
“This is the kind of nonsense that our Minister of Foreign Affairs Winston Peters prides himself on exposing and cutting out. He should politely wait until Secretary Clinton leaves the country, then announce an end to the funding.”
The documents confirming the funding, released to the Taxpayers’ Union under the Official Information Act, are available at: https://www.taxpayers.org.nz/clinton_foundation_2018-19
Last year, the Taxpayers’ Union launched a petition to end taxpayer funding for the Clinton Foundation. The petition has attracted nearly three and half thousand signatures and can be signed at: http://www.taxpayers.org.nz/clinton_petition

3/8/18 Renamed TPP signed by 11 nations with U.S. out, focused on protectionism
Sourced from QRes#7618
SANTIAGO, Chile—Trade ministers from 11 Pacific Rim countries signed a sweeping free trade agreement Thursday to streamline trade and slash tariffs on the same day that U.S. President Donald Trump was expected to formalize new tariffs on aluminum and steel to protect U.S. producers.
Trump withdrew the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership last year, causing fears that it would not prosper without its most influential country. But the remaining 11 members pressed ahead, saying they were showing resolve against protectionism through global trade.
The ministers dropped key provisions that the Americans had required on protection of intellectual property, among others. The renegotiated pact signed in Chile’s capital was also renamed the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership, or CPTPP.
Read more: Canada, TPP members strike trade deal without U.S.
The pact that covers 500 million people includes Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. Its success highlights the isolation of the U.S. under Trump’s protectionist rhetoric on trade and his “America first” philosophy.
“It leaves the U.S. at a disadvantage from both a trade and a broader strategic perspective,” said Joshua Meltzer, senior fellow in the global economy and development program at the Brookings Institution. “It is now a trade bloc that discriminates against the U.S.”
Meltzer said the United States’ ability to shape the rules of trade in the Asia-Pacific region “is very much diminished.”
The U.S., originally the biggest TPP economy, was one of the trade deal’s strongest supporters before Trump took office. Trump has said he prefers country-to-country deals and is seeking to renegotiate several major trade agreements, including the North American Free Trade Agreement that includes the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
This is “a strong sign against the protectionist pressures, and in favour of a world open to free trade, without unilateral sanctions and the threat of trade wars,” Chilean Foreign Minister Heraldo Munoz said.
The European Union said this week that it is ready to retaliate against Trump’s tariffs — of 25 per cent on imported steel and 10 per cent on aluminum imports — with counter-measures against iconic U.S. products like Harley Davidson motorcycles, Levi’s jeans and bourbon.
The EU threat and Trump’s impending announcement on the tariffs were expected to escalate the risk of a trade war, in which nations try to punish each other by hiking taxes on traded goods. Experts say that tends to harm both exporting nations as well as importing countries’ consumers, who face higher costs.
The EU considers itself to be caught in the crossfire of a trade dispute, in which Trump has mainly singled out China for being unfair in its commercial deals.
The original TPP was conceived by the U.S. as a counterweight to China’s growing economic influence through a robust trading bloc that excluded the Asian giant. The thinking was that China would have an incentive to open its market and liberalize its policies in an effort to eventually qualify for TPP membership.
“Without the United States, it doesn’t serve that purpose,” said Edward Alden, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. “It becomes a modest liberalization measure.”
China’s foreign minister, Wang Yi, commented Thursday on the deal before it was signed.
“China did not participate in the CPTPP Agreement. However, China has always been a staunch supporter of trade liberalization and an important participant in Asia-Pacific regional co-operation and economic integration,” Wang Yi said at a news conference.
“Of course, we also hope that the various free trade arrangements in the Asia-Pacific region will be able to communicate and co-ordinate with each other and form a benign interaction, playing a constructive role in their respective fields in resisting trade protectionism and building an open world economy.”

The keys to understanding TPP11
Sourced from QRes#7619
Although it takes the TPP provisions as a basis, the CPTPP or TPP11 has some differences. The most relevant: 20 provisions that, with the departure from the US, were left "suspended".
In 2005, Brunei, Chile, New Zealand and Singapore signed the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement, which would enter into force in 2006. As of 2008, more countries joined: Australia, Canada, the United States, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru and Vietnam completed the 12 signatory countries, which later formed the Trans-Pacific Economic Cooperation Agreement (TPP, for its acronym in English). That until 2017, when Donald Trump decided to withdraw the United States from the treaty.
It was then when the 11 remaining countries "rescued" the content of the agreement and began to negotiate the Integral and Progressive Treaty of Trans-Pacific Partnership ( CPTPP ), also known as TPP11, to differentiate it from the previous TPP12.
The bilateral director of Direcon and chief negotiator of TPP11, Felipe Lopeandía , explains the current situation of the agreement, signed in Santiago on March 8, 2018, but that must be ratified by Congress, which he joined at the end of October 2018. Since that date it was reviewed and approved by the Foreign Affairs and Finance Commissions. During March, the agreement was also discussed by the Agriculture and Labor Commissions.
"After having been approached by these two commissions, last week he went to the chamber of the Chamber [of Deputies], his discussion began in the room last Wednesday [March 20] and, as a result of this week is district , the discussion in the room is resumed next week, "details Lopeandía in an interview with PAUTA Bloomberg .
Lopeandía relates that the negotiation of the TPP was very complex, with many participating countries, with different economic and regulatory realities, and with complex proposals, especially by the United States. The negotiations, in fact, extended from the beginning of 2010 to the end of 2015.
Suspicions
The complexity of the negotiation of the TPP would explain, in Lopeandía's opinion, many of the concerns that the TPP11 now generates, especially regarding intellectual property issues, although it is quick to clarify that, although the TPP11 includes part of the contents of the TPP12 , leaves 20 provisions unapplied, 11 of which have to do with intellectual property, pharmaceutical patents and copyright on the internet. "I think there were many of those elements of suspicion or doubts about the content of this agreement," he says.
Another element that has generated doubts, recognizes Lopeandía, is an obligation that is in the CPTPP, but that had already been acquired by Chile with the ratification of the agreement UPOV 91 in 2011, which protects new plant varieties. Although the regulations for their full application have not been generated, it is a norm that is already ratified by Congress and, therefore, TPP11 does not change anything in this regard, he explains.
The rule, he says, refers to new varieties and plant products, achieved through research and innovation, and does not affect the country's plant heritage, for example the original seeds in the hands of small communities, emphasizes Lopeandía.
"Notwithstanding that Chile already has bilateral agreements with all the member countries of this agreement, the tariff benefits for Chile are very significant," says Lopeandía, who explains that they include nearly 3,000 new tariff preferences, Chilean export products that go to access with better conditions to markets such as Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Canada and Mexico, mainly from the agricultural, agroindustrial, forestry and fishing sectors.
Lopeandía stresses the importance of the approval of the agreement, since it is in force for the seven countries that have already approved it since December 30, 2018. Chilean producers are at a disadvantage compared to those of countries that have already ratified the treaty.
TPP - The importance of the United States
Sourced from QRes#6719
"The departure of the United States from the TPP was a sensitive and complex moment of the process … For all countries as a whole, the exit from the United States had some kind of impact," Lopeandía admits, although he says that for Chile it was less, given the free trade agreement between both countries.
Lopeandía highlights, in any case, the conviction and the political decision taken by the remaining 11 members to move forward the TPP11.
The bilateral director of Direcon says that in the text there is no express reference to the return of the United States to the treaty, and recognizes that a subject that has been discussed is what happens with the 20 provisions that were suspended in case the United States returned. The text is very clear, he says: for these provisions to become effective again, first of all, the agreement of the 11 countries is required. A second point, in the case of Chile, is the approval of Congress of this eventual agreement to reincorporate the rules suspended. "We introduce two padlocks, or two elements that are important for security," he says.
Lopeandía affirms that he sees good disposition in the Congress to advance in the approval, and trusts that the agreement will be ratified in the short term. "We believe that the Congress will continue with the successful commercial policy that Chile has developed over the past 30 years," he says.

AFTER THE MIDTERMS: AUSTRALIA, THE UNITED STATES AND THE INTERNATIONAL ORDER
Sourced from QRes#7619
Mr Trump remains unpopular with the American people, however in the midterms he tightened his grip on the GOP. Republicans ran towards Trump, not away from him. Many who previously criticised or rejected the President, such as Senators Ted Cruz and Lindsay Graham, now embrace him. And several moderate Republicans lost office last week.
So Americans delivered a slap, not a punch, to Mr Trump. He was not submerged in a blue wave, but the water is now up to his knees.
The question is: how will this result affect a person like Mr Trump?
On the one hand, he might moderate, as George W. Bush did in the second half of his first term, when he realised that events weren’t proceedings as expected. The president may conclude that in order to maintain his reputation as a change agent, he needs to cooperate with Democrats on some areas such as infrastructure and emphasise the positives of the strong US economy rather than the negatives of immigration.
He may invite the adults back into the room – turning over more control of foreign policy to the experts, for example, by empowering Secretary Mattis.

Congress needs NAFTA text by May 17 for vote this year: Paul Ryan
U.S. lawmakers must receive the final text of the renegotiated North American Free Trade Agreement by May 17 if the deal is to be voted on by Congress this year, Inside U.S. Trade is reporting.
House Speaker Paul Ryan laid down the deadline Thursday, as per conditions set out under the Trade Promotion Authority law.
Trade Promotion Authority, otherwise know as fast-track authority, renders the final Congressional vote on any new NAFTA deal negotiated into a yes-no vote, with no Congressional amendments allowed.
The current authority expires in July 2018. The White House asked in March for the TPA to be extended by three years – a request Congress has yet to authorize.
If a vote on NAFTA is not held this year, the expectation is that the file would be dealt with by Congress after the U.S. mid-term elections in November.
The deadline comes just hours after Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland met with top American lawmakers on Capitol Hill, including Ryan.
She also met with Kevin Brady, the chair of the House committee that oversees trade legislation.
They shared their view of the so-called fast-track law, which sets the rules for votes on trade deals.
Freeland said it was helpful to hear from the lawmakers who actually wrote and are responsible for implementing the U.S. rules.
Plenty of progress has been made this week and she said negotiators are closer to success – although the talks have been mostly seized with the issue of autos, giving little space to hard negotiations on other top files.
Discussions on areas including intellectual property, seasonal tariffs on produce and dairy have not yet occurred. Current American proposals in all three areas are considered potential ‘poison pills’ by Canada and Mexico.
A NAFTA deal cannot be reached without discussion in those areas, trade expert Laura Dawson told iPolitics in Ottawa. Dawson is executive director of the Wilson Centre’s Canada Institute.
Members of the Canadian Inter-Parliamentary Group will travel to Washington, D.C. next week to meet with Congressional leaders, senators and members of congress. The House international trade committee is also set to travel to the U.S. capital this month.

Dozens of planes were diverted away from Sydney Airport and hundreds of passengers stuck on the tarmac after a control tower issue.
Sydney Airport was brought to its knees today after smoke was detected inside the air control tower.
All air traffic controllers were evacuated around 11.40am and firefighters from Air Services Australia and NSW Fire and Rescue rushed to the scene after reports there was a fire inside the tower.
An Air Services Australia spokeswoman told news.com.au a full ground stop was initially put in place meaning no planes were landing or taking off.
The control tower was back up and running just before 1pm today with arrivals beginning to be processed and planes taking off.
“There will be an ongoing impact on the network but we are trying to facilitate as best we can. Passengers are advised to contact their airline for more details about the status of their flight,” an Air Services spokeswoman said.

New Zealand removes any reference to Jesus from parliamentary prayer
Sourced from QRes#7628
Funny how the only people expected to assimilate, arent the migrants, just the rest of the NZ population - this is political correctness gone mad. While we at it .. how about you go to a Muslim country during Ramadam and eat a big fat hamburger, to assert your right to not respect another countries culture, and see how far that gets you. Likely abused, bashed and or worse.
In the wake of the Christchurch mosque attack, we come to find out that New Zealand has removed references to Jesus from the parliamentary prayer, sparking outrage among the country’s Christian population.
Speaker of the House, Trevor Mallard, made the decision to drop references to Jesus in order to make the prayer “more inclusive” for all parliamentarians.
The Guardian reported: A reference to “almighty god” remains, but it is not a specific reference to a Christian god.
The protesters want Jesus’s name reinstated, and held signs reading “Dishonourable Judas Mallard”.
Around 1,000 people protested on the steps of parliament house in Wellington, arguing that New Zealand was a Christian nation and Mallard had no authority to axe Jesus’s name.
“He needs a good kick in his pants, and he needs to actually be removed because this is a Christian nation”, protester Rieki Teutscher told Radio NZ. “We don’t share his atheism.”
Another protester, Carmel Morgan, said Mallard should have consulted with New Zealanders or announced a referendum before changing the prayer.
“This is a land of democracy, this is a land of freedom, you know, we want to be a first world country… he took that choice away from us.”
Politicians such as Jacinda Ardern and Winston Peters have said it would have been judicious for the speaker to have consulted more widely before actioning the changes.
“Well the decision as to what should be changed should be made by parliamentarians and not the speaker – that’s our position, I don’t mind telling you publicly”, deputy prime minister Winston Peters told RNZ.
“If you’re going to make a change let’s have parliament decide – not one person.”
Mallard said he had consulted with parliamentarians and the majority had indicated they were in favour of a secular prayer.
Abandoning its traditional Christian faith was, no doubt, a significant contributing factor to the mosque shooting in the first place.
As former Christian churches are turned into mosques, New Zealanders are told to accept the Islamification with smiling tolerance.
Just don’t make the Muslims mad. New Muslim migrants have the “right” to not be offended by references to Christ even when they are in Christian countries.
If a Muslim hears a reference to Jesus in a public prayer, it might trigger an extreme response, so it’s best to delete Jesus from the domestic culture so we can all “get along”.
When the Prime Minister of New Zealand dons a hijab in public, all of White New Zealand is being betrayed to the gods of diversity, but Christianity will not be part of the equation.

New Vaccine Studies are Somewhat Shocking -March 2019 update
update March 2019 study results uploaded. He is covering more than autism in the studies, but decided to release these since it is the elephant in the room, with respect to results. He is not an anti vaxxer, and vaccines his infants according to parent wishes after he gives data [risks, benefits, alternatives] for each vaccine and disease.
He commissioned an independent quality assurance study for his practice, by hiring a science nerd who does medical databases globally as a professional (data nerd)
He in had the data nerd include only those born into his practice, and not those who came in later, so that all medical information was complete from birth. The stud will be on the results for all of the types of vaccines for all of the diseases he vaccinates for.
Results:
Total number of infants born into his practice with complete records: 3345 (excellent sample size for data research, since 1500 us usually minimum)
Out of the 3345, a total of 715 chose not to vaccinate at all due to high risk siblings already born living with problems from allergies to autism.
Rates of autism current nationally, according to CDC :
1/45 (one out of 45 births become autistic)
Rates of autism using his "vaccine friendly" informed consent plan for his practice:
1/440 (HUGE DROP)
Interesting to note that the national average number of vaccines is 20-40, but, with his plan, his parents choose between 7 and 15, after informed consent, so, the number of vaccines are lower to begin with.
Rates of autism among his 715 zero vaccine children:
1 (as in only one infant became autistic, even at high genetic risk)
(pic related)
Will try to embed his you tube discussion next link since can not embed with pic.
Start at minute 8 if you are in a hurry, but, interesting discussion if you are a parent doing research.
I am not an anti-vaxxer by any means, but interesting to see some actual figures on this, seeing as the general consensus amongst the AMA is that there is no link between vaccination and autism

Huawei names John Brumby, Alexander Downer board members
CHINA'S Huawei Technologies has appointed Liberal and Labor elders, Alexander Downer and John Brumby, to its Australian board in a bid to secure part of the $1 billion-plus National Broadband Network technology deal.
As cyber-security fears rise, Huawei, the world's second biggest telecommunications equipment maker, has doubled efforts to assuage concerns by security agencies, including ASIO, about its feared connections with the People's Liberation Army.
Huawei, China's most successful privately held company, has increased disclosures in its annual report and has offered to open its networks for inspection.
Huawei chairman, former PLA officer Ren Zhengfei, has met Communications Minister Stephen Conroy to make Huawei's case.
The company, which has struggled to make inroads in markets such as Australia, the US and India, has repeatedly denied links with the PLA, saying it is 100 per cent owned by its employees.
"People are a bit unsure about China but I remember when none of us would buy Japanese cars or products," retired rear admiral John Lord, who will chair the board, said.
"Many of Huawei's competitors have their products made in China as well."
Mr Ren said he wanted his company to be global.
He wanted to get the company better known and was keen to improve the relationship with the Australian government.
Mr Lord said he thought some of the American stories about Huawei and the problems over security were not based on fact.

Microsoft researchers find NSA-style backdoor in Huawei laptops - 2019 Article
The Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) service featured in Windows 10 version 1809 alerted researchers to an NSA-inspired backdoor vulnerability in Huawei laptops.
The PC Manager software included in some Huawei’s Matebook systems allows unprivileged users to create processes with superuser privileges, according to a March 25 Microsoft security post.
Upon investigation, researchers found a driver containing components that run with ring-0 privileges in the kernel.
“We traced the anomalous behavior to a device management driver developed by Huawei,” researchers said in the post. “Digging deeper, we found a lapse in the design that led to a vulnerability that could allow local privilege escalation.”
This type of vulnerability is similar to a technique used in the NSA’s DOUBLEPULSAR that was leaked by the Shadow Brokers back. In 2017 hackers attacked scores of computers with malware inspired by the exploit following the NSA data leak.
Researchers who reported the vulnerability to Huawei said the company responded and cooperated quickly and professionally. A patch was released earlier this year on Jan. 19.
Earlier this week, the European Union ignored recent calls from the U.S. to ban Huawei products out of fear of Chinese cyberespionage, as the EU rolled out its 5G security guidelines.

IT Security Pros Slam State-Backed Encryption Backdoors
Sourced from QRes#7633
Most IT security professionals believe governments that mandate end-to-end encryption backdoors are exposed to a greater risk of nation state cyber-attacks, according to Venafi.
The security vendor polled over 500 industry professionals at the recent RSA Conference in San Francisco on a topic which continues to be hotly debated in the US and Europe.
Nearly three-quarters (73%) said they thought laws effectively forcing tech companies to enable law enforcers to read encrypted communications would make their nation less secure. Slightly fewer (70%) claimed governments shouldn’t be able to mandate private tech providers to make their code less secure.
Some 69% argued that such moves would also put a country at an economic disadvantage globally, presumably because it will no longer be seen as a safe place in which to do business.
“This is not rocket science; backdoors inevitably create vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious actors. It’s understandable that so many security professionals are concerned because backdoors are especially appealing to hostile and abusive government agencies and more governments are considering these mandates,” argued Venafi VP of security strategy and threat intelligence.
“We know that attackers don’t abide by restrictions; they don’t follow the rules or buy products in controlled markets. Countries that enact these near-sighted restrictions harm law abiding businesses and court economic damage as well as intrusions focused on sovereign government processes.”
Last December Australia passed new laws which could force tech providers to engineer de facto backdoors into their end-to-end encryption products. In so doing, it joined the UK, whose Investigatory Powers Act has widely been viewed as one of the most intrusive surveillance regimes of any western democracy.
However, with most global tech firms based in the US, these powers are unlikely to be tested on the world’s most popular services. That makes the US a key battleground for privacy advocates.
Law enforcers and some lawmakers have long argued for such powers, claiming erroneously that backdoors could be provided to allow police access to encrypted comms only in specific cases, without making the entire ecosystem less secure for all customers.
Increasingly exasperated by this talk, the world’s leading cryptography experts last year backed demands for FBI director, Christopher Wray, to explain the technical basis for his repeated claims that backdoors can be engineered without impacting user security.

They were waiting for the Aurora Australis, but amateur photographers were left guessing after seeing a bright green flash light up the Tasmanian sky.
Key points:
Residents in Tasmania's south saw a bright green flash in the starry sky
Social media users suggested it was a meteor, glowing green because of the metals inside the rock
An expert says it could also be space debris, but added it was a "spectacular" sight
Amateur photographer Leoni Williams captured a shot of the green streak about 9:30pm on Thursday by "accident".
Overlooking Pipe Clay Lagoon, toward Clifton Beach in southern Tasmania, Ms Williams had her camera facing south in anticipation of an Aurora.
"I was very lucky to capture this bright green object before it disappeared over the horizon," Ms Williams said.
"I'm still not sure what it was. I didn't actually see it with the naked eye as I wasn't watching. I had just set the camera on 30 seconds and pushed the shutter and turned back to my phone.
"I would imagine it was pretty quick. I nearly missed it because it was at the end of the exposure."
Photo sparked social media debate
Ms Williams took to social media to try and find out what she'd captured on camera.
Opinions varied, with some thinking it was a shooting star, a fallen satellite or even a UFO.
Spotted from the Huon Valley to Dodges Ferry, other photos began popping up on social media.
Eventually, it was shared on social media page Australian Meteor Reports.
"It's definitely a meteor," page administrator David Finlay said.
"That flash that's been captured is a very, very bright meteor — it's what we'd call a 'fireball'. It probably lit up the countryside."

Mr Finlay — a former industrial chemist who has been studying astronomy from an very early age — said the flash was created by a "small rock from space, blazing through the atmosphere, creating friction with the atmosphere".
"It glows and ionises gas — that's what you see as this fireball blazing through the sky.
"If it actually survives atmospheric entry and lands as a rock on land, that's what we call a meteorite — only if it makes it to the ground."
Why is it green?
As for the bright green glow, Mr Finlay said it had to do with the elemental components of the meteor.
"The green is produced by a combination of the nickel and iron in the meteor," he said.
"It's probably just a normal rocky meteor but it would contain flecks of metal in the rock, producing that colour. It's very cool.
"It's what we colloquially call a 'fish squisher' because it's over the ocean," he said.
Professor Simon Ellingsen, the head of physics at the University of Tasmania, said it was possible the object was manmade space debris rather than a meteor.
"[The colour] is almost certainly because of the specific elements and minerals in the object," he said.
"It probably wouldn't have looked that green to the naked eye [because] digital cameras are so good at picking up the light."
He said while it wasn't unusual to spot a meteor or space debris over Tasmania, this object would have been a special sight to see.
"The sort of rule of thumb is if you go outside to a clear, dark sight, you'll see a shooting star, so to speak, about every 10 minutes or so," he said.
"This one that's been caught is bigger than normal and more spectacular than you normally get.
"This photographer was obviously in the right place at the right time."

Toyota Security Breach Exposes Personal Info of 3.1 Million Clients
Sourced from QRes#7641
The personal information of roughly 3.1 million Toyota customers may have been leaked following a security breach of multiple Toyota and Lexus sales subsidiaries, as detailed in a breach notification issued by the car maker today.
As detailed in a press release published on Toyota'a global newsroom, unauthorized access was detected on the computing systems of Tokyo Sales Holdings, Tokyo Tokyo Motor, Tokyo Toyopet, Toyota Tokyo Corolla, Nets Toyota Tokyo, Lexus Koishikawa Sales, Jamil Shoji (Lexus Nerima), and Toyota West Tokyo Corolla.
"It turned out that up to 3.1 million items of customer information may have been leaked outside the company. The information that may have been leaked this time does not include information on credit cards," says the data breach notification.
Toyota has not yet confirmed if the attackers were able to exfiltrate any of the customer personal information exposed after the IT systems of its subsidiaries were breached.
We have not confirmed the fact that customer information has been leaked at this time, but we will continue to conduct detailed surveys, placing top priority on customer safety and security.
"We apologize to everyone who has been using Toyota and Lexus vehicles for the great concern," states Toyota's notification.
Also, "We take this situation seriously, and will thoroughly implement information security measures at dealers and the entire Toyota Group."
This breach comes after Australian Toyota dealers were also targeted by a cyber attack which led to multiple corporate IT systems going down on February 19.
In a statement published two days after the incident that impacted Toyota's Australian dealers, a car maker spokesperson said that:
Our network of 279 dealers is still operational and able to help customers with their enquiries. However, there have been some impacts to parts supply, which is subsequently delaying servicing at some dealerships.
Security experts consider the attacks targeting Toyota's subsidiaries and dealers to be part of a large scale coordinated operation attributed to the Vietnamese-backed APT32 hacking group, also known as OceanLotus and Cobalt Kitty, says ZDNet.
FireEye says that APT32 is targeting "foreign companies investing in Vietnam’s manufacturing, consumer products, consulting and hospitality sectors."
APT32 also targeted research institutes from around the world, media organizations, various human rights organizations, and even Chinese maritime construction firms in the past. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

Door-to-door gun confiscations begin in New Zealand; one gun owner already dead, with thousands more targeted by armed government thugs
Sourced from QRes#7641
If you want to know what tyranny looks like in a “democracy,” turn your gaze towards New Zealand, where liberal tolerance and acceptance has been replaced by anti-gun zealotry and authoritarianism, thanks to a single act of violence by a man who wasn’t even born on the island.
Following Brenton Tarrant’s terrorist attack on a pair of mosques earlier this month, the New Zealand prime minister, Jacinda Ardern, and her government wasted no time in declaring that an entire class of firearms that were previously legal to own were suddenly illegal to own.
“Assault” weapons of the type used by Tarrant during his attack have no place in a civil society, you see, even if 99.999 percent of them are owned by law-abiding people and used responsibly.
As such, they must all be confiscated because getting rid of them will also stop future acts of violence and terrorism. Or so New Zealanders have been told.
But what if the act of getting rid of these guns actually causes more violence and death?
The Truth About Guns is reporting that, according to the country’s biggest firearms forum, Kiwi cops are now going door-to-door to gun owners’ places of business, their homes, and even gun ranges “in an attempt to gather information and get gun owners to relinquish their firearms.”
Pay attention, Americans — because even if you don’t own a gun, these are tactics tyrannical Left-wing Democrats will employ to force us all to live a certain way if they are ever empowered enough.
According to screenshots of the firearms forum, one gun owner is already dead

Sex scandals plague New Zealand's Labour party Prime Minister (2018)
Sourced from QRes#7646
Police are investigating after a string of sexual assaults allegedly occurred at a Labour party youth camp, which Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern had been speaking at.
Heavy alcohol consumption at the camp by unsupervised teenagers, many of whom were under the legal drinking age, contributed to the unsafe environment, in which a man was said to have sexually assaulted four 16-year-old party members.
(Video: https://www.newsroom.co.nz/2018/03/13/96319/video-captures-labour-summer-camp-party)
Labour party general secretary Andrew Kirton (picture above with Jacinda Ardern) failed to report the incidents to police and also failed to inform the parents of the victims. Despite this, Prime Minister Ardern has refused to sack Kirton for hushing up the indecent assaults.
"If everyone who ever made a mistake in their job was sacked then we wouldn't be left with many people left, particularly in politics," she said.
Labour MP Liz Craig was with the teenagers while they were consuming alcohol but went to bed, leaving them unsupervised, before the offending took place. Teenagers were later found vomiting in the toilets and bushes from excessive alcohol consumption.
Ardern claimed to have no knowledge of the alleged indecent assaults until they were revealed by the media. She denies she was intentionally kept in the dark by the Labour party so she could have plausible deniability about the mismanagement of the complaints.
"Absolutely not, I push back on that suggestion very hard, that implies that our number one concern here is political management, that's not fair," she said.
The latest incident has also resulted in disclosure of a similar sexual assault allegation at a Christchurch Labour Party event. "Another incident occurred at an event a few years ago," Kirton said.
Furthermore, In 2011 Labour party MP Darren Hughes resigned from parliament and left the country after a naked man was seen running from his apartment.
Hughes was "accompanied by an 18-year-old man who is said to have later run naked from the house in a state of considerable distress. The 18-year-old subsequently laid a complaint ‘of a sexual nature’ against Hughes", Labour party media advisor Brian Edwards said.
However, Hughes never faced any criminal charges and went on to establish his career in London, becoming the Chief Executive of the Electoral Reform Society and appearing on BBC news numerous times.
To add fuel to the fire, the Prime Minister's partner, Clarke Gayford (pictured above), has been accused on social media of recently having an affair with an air hostess from Emirates Airlines. The air hostess was supposedly upset that the affair ended after the Prime Minister became pregnant.

Someone's spreading an MBR-trashing copy of the Christchurch killer's 'manifesto' – and we're OK with this, maybe?
Sourced from QRes#7649
Nah, of course we're not in favor of vigilante malware knackering people's PCs
Hacktivists are spreading booby-trapped copies of the New Zealand mass shooter's Islamophobic rantings, in what is being described as an online "vigilante" operation.
Security house Blue Hexagon claims it discovered a version of the killer's manifesto doing the rounds online containing Windows malware that, when executed with the necessary privileges, reboots the system and leaves the user staring at an anti-racist message. The idea being to punish those who seek out the document, it appears.
The software nasty pulls this off by overwriting the boot drive's master boot record (MBR), a data structure needed to start up the operating system after power on or a reboot, to just display the text, and then restarts the machine for good measure.
While the manifesto – a meme-laden soup of troll-tastic nihilistic nonsense – has been outlawed in New Zealand for inciting murder and terrorism, the file continues to circulate in underground forums. Links to the MediaFire-hosted doctored rant, we're told, were first shared on Twitter, and 8chan – the LinkedIn-for-pedos forum site frequented by the Christchurch gunman whose name is not worth the bytes repeating here.
According to Blue Hexagon, the MBR-altering malware itself isn't embedded directly inside the poisoned manifesto, being sent around as a .docx, but rather it is downloaded and executed by an obfuscated Visual Basic script within the document that triggers when opened and run.
"The weaponized version of the document resembles content from the original manifesto but does have several distinguishing features," Blue Hexagon's Irfan Asrar explained this week.
"The metadata from the original manifesto states the author as the name of the alleged suspect who has been arrested in connection with the terror attack, whereas the author info in the weaponized trojan says it was created by the author ‘Maori’ (a name for the indigenous people of New Zealand). The biggest difference in the weaponized version is the presence of the obfuscated VBA script code that attempts to download a second stage payload."
The script in the document fetches a second file called haka.exe – the Haka being a traditional dance of the Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand – and here is where the real damage is done. The executable scribbles over the MBR on the host, and then forces a reboot.
As the machine restarts, the user is presented with a black screen and the message in red text: "This is not us!" That's a phrase shared by anti-racists, in an attempt to unite and heal, after attacks by white nationalists.
"Other than being disruptive, there is no motivation; such as a monetary one to be found in this attack," Asrar concluded. Consult your operating system's recovery and repair tools to rebuild the MBR if for some reason you're hit with this malware. ®

Be careful out there kids! You can recognize this particular malware because the "manifesto" comes as a .docx (Word) file, which is dangerous to open.
By Working Together, We Can Win Against Hate

oh cool … they actively going to stop all the trump haters too … and muslim Imams who preach hatred and intolerance ???

Time to go facebook en masse I think and ask why MZ deleting all his facebook posts from 2007-2008 kek …. Lifelog anyone
Facebook·Saturday, 30 March 2019
By Sheryl Sandberg — Chief Operating Officer at Facebook
The terrorist attacks in Christchurch were an act of pure evil. All of us at Facebook stand with the victims, their families, the Muslim community, and all of New Zealand. It is deeply tragic when people face violence because of who they are and what they believe. Over the past two weeks, the whole world has seen the compassion, unity, and resilience you have shown as a country through your grief.
Many of you have also rightly questioned how online platforms such as Facebook were used to circulate horrific videos of the attack. We are committed to reviewing what happened and have been working closely with the New Zealand Police to support their response. In the immediate aftermath, we took down the terrorist’s Facebook and Instagram accounts, removed the video of the attack, and used artificial intelligence to proactively find and prevent related videos from being posted. We have heard feedback that we must do more – and we agree. In the wake of the terrorist attack, we are taking three steps: strengthening the rules for using Facebook Live, taking further steps to address hate on our platforms, and supporting the New Zealand community.
First, we are exploring restrictions on who can go Live depending on factors such as prior Community Standard violations. We are also investing in research to build better technology to quickly identify edited versions of violent videos and images and prevent people from re-sharing these versions. While the original New Zealand attack video was shared Live, we know that this video spread mainly through people re-sharing it and re-editing it to make it harder for our systems to block it; we have identified more than 900 different videos showing portions of those horrifying 17 minutes. People with bad intentions will always try to get around our security measures. That’s why we must work to continually stay ahead. In the past week, we have also made changes to our review process to help us improve our response time to videos like this in the future.
Second, we are taking even stronger steps to remove hate on our platforms. We have long had policies against hate groups and hate speech. We designated both shootings as terror attacks, meaning that any praise, support and representation of the events violates our Community Standards and is not permitted on Facebook. We are also using our existing artificial intelligence tools to identify and remove a range of hate groups in Australia and New Zealand, including the Lads Society, the United Patriots Front, the Antipodean Resistance, and National Front New Zealand. These groups will be banned from our services, and we will also remove praise and support of these groups when we become aware of it. And just this week we announced that we have strengthened our policies by banning praise, support and representation of white nationalism and separatism on Facebook and Instagram.
Finally, we are standing by the people of New Zealand and providing support to four local well-being and mental health organisations to raise awareness around their services within the country. We are also working with our existing youth partner to co-design additional education around peer support and resilience. Through everything, we remain ready to work with the New Zealand Government's Royal Commission to further review the role that online services play in these types of attacks more widely. We are also ready to work with the New Zealand Government on future regulatory models for the online industry in areas like content moderation, elections, privacy, and data portability.
We know there is more work to do. We are deeply committed to strengthening our policies, improving our technology and working with experts to keep Facebook safe. We must all stand united against hate and work together to fight it wherever and whenever it occurs.

FACEBOOK CLAMP: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg admits the social networking site should be regulated after Christchurch mosque terror attack
Sourced from QRes#7654
The firm's founder and chief executive said there is a need for government and regulators to have 'a more active role
FACEBOOK boss Mark Zuckerberg has sensationally admitted the site should be regulated. The social networks billionaire founder and chief executive said there is a need for governments and watchdogs to have “a more active role”. It follows the live-streaming on social media of the Christchurch terror attack in New Zealand, which was viewed 4,000 times before being removed.
Mr Zuckerberg, 34, said he believes new regulation is needed in four areas across the internet — harmful content, election integrity, privacy and “data portability”. In a hard-hitting statement published by the Washington Post and on his own Facebook page, he said: “Every day we make decisions about what speech is harmful, what constitutes political advertising, and how to prevent sophisticated cyber attacks. But if we were starting from scratch, we wouldn’t ask companies to make these judgments alone. I believe we need a more active role for governments and regulators.” “By updating the rules for the internet, we can preserve what’s best about it — the freedom for people to express themselves and for entrepreneurs to build new things — while also protecting society from broader harms.”
Mr Zuckerberg said Facebook, which has two billion monthly users, will review harmful content but added that “at our scale we’ll always make mistakes and decisions that people disagree with”. The UK is due to publish plans on clamping down on the likes of Twitter and Instagram if they breach duty of care standards.

Australian Climate Change Whistle blower Censorship
Sourced from QRes#7659
There's a good court case going on in Australia at the moment over the firing of a University Professor. Peter Ridd was fired from James Cook University in North Queensland over his comments about climate change exaggeration and lack of trustworthiness in Australian Scientific Institutions as it relates to the Great Barrier Reef.
It started when Ridd said that images given to the media by The Australian Institute of Marine Science and The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority were misleading.
Ridd Said the images of bleached coral reefs near Stone Island, off the coast of Bowen in north Queensland, were misleading because they showed poorly affected corals, which were selected over nearby healthy coral and used to show “broad scale decline” of reef health.
After attempting to blow the whistle on what he found — healthy corals — Professor Ridd was censured by James Cook University and threatened with the sack. After a formal investigation, Professor Ridd — a renowned campaigner for quality assurance over coral research from JCU’s Marine Geophysics Laboratory — was found guilty of “failing to act in a collegial way and in the academic spirit of the institution”.
His crime was to encourage questioning of two of the nation’s leading reef institutions, the Centre of Excellence for Coral Studies and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, on whether they knew that photographs they had published and claimed to show long-term collapse of reef health could be misleading and wrong.
He has also said: "…we can no longer trust the scientific organisations like the Australian Institute of Marine Science, even things like the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies – a lot of this is stuff is coming out, the science is coming out not properly checked, tested or replicated and this is a great shame because we really need to be able to trust our scientific institutions and the fact is I do not think we can any more."
Ridd looks like he will win as JCU's arguments have been ridiculous, saying, he is not allowed to comment on reef climate change because it is not his field of expertise and also that he is not actually an academic.
This will be a good thing for academic free speech in Australia, should find out the judges decision by Easter. You can watch the court summaries below. And of course, there's a complete media blackout.

More concerning is their ever increasing list of strategic investments ie ports, infrastrusture like power production and various farms like the kidman property and dairies.
Dont think its too much of a stretch to think that they will be bringing in their cheap chinese labour to run these farms (ie 457 visas), and everything produced will be exported directly to China, so prices for these local products will rise as the supply is effectively reduced.

I found this PDF online. It was made by the city of Christchurch NZ about how they are going to be a gateway city for Anartica. They lay out the plans with dates and other info. It looks more like a sales pitch than anything else. I do design/marketing and this looks like something my company would make for a big (money wise) sales pitch.

NSW Education Department covers up teacher’s alleged 18-year child sex abuse spree (2013)
Sourced from QRes#7667
ON 14 MARCH 2006, Jill Carlon, Chief Investigator for Employee Performance & Conduct of the Department of Education and Training, sent concerned Tweed Shire parents a letter:
'I am writing to advise you of the finalisation of the investigation and follow up action taken in respect to allegations that a teacher at Centaur Primary School, acted in a manner that could amount to improper conduct against students… In reviewing the investigation, all the available information has been carefully considered and, as a result, steps have been taken to ensure that the person will no longer be employed or involved in school, TAFE or student-related activities.'
The letter brought to an end, at least for the parents involved, an 18 year nightmare and an alleged reign of terror by that teacher — of physical, emotional and sexual assault and abuse.
However, many questions still remain, including how this man was allowed to be exposed to vulnerable children over such a long period? How has this matter been covered up for so long? How was he able to continue teaching in NSW independent schools, and in public schools just a few miles away across the border in Queensland? Why have NSW police consistently refused to properly investigate his activities? And why has he never faced criminal prosecution?
The teacher in question was Gary Willis (now deceased), a middle-aged man who transferred to Northern NSW in the late 1980s. Despite allegedly having no prior experience in special needs, Willis received a 3-year position at East Murwillumbah Primary School’s Special Education Unit.
Almost immediately Willis began working at the School, allegations of inappropriate behaviour emerged — even directly in front of parents.
In the classroom, Gary Willis was responsible for the most vulnerable children imaginable — children who were intellectually disabled, autistic, unable to walk and unable to speak. Former students, parents, and teachers allege that Gary Willis sexually and physically assaulted these disabled children. Witnesses, including other teachers, also say they witnessed Gary Willis being violent toward students, including allegedly ramming a wheelchair bound child into a wall and thrusting another disabled boy’s head into a sink.
Two teachers stated that Gary Willis constantly refused to allow female aids to toilet the female students and that he insisted on doing this delicate task himself.
Arguably even more shocking, witnesses allege that Gary Willis taught mainstream schoolboys to sexually assault the disabled girls. Medical evidence, police interviews and local DOCS intervention appear to support this claim. Police, DOCS, and a paediatrician concluded that two girls had been sexually assaulted at East Murwillumbah Primary School; Gary Willis was named in both cases. Parents subsequently watched him being seized by police from the school for questioning.

NZ Gun Confiscation Nightmare: Gun Confiscation Begins as Police Show Up Unannounced At Homes, Workplaces
Sourced from QRes#7666
This appears to be already happening in New Zealand, folks.

Jury selection starts Monday for Minneapolis officer accused in fatal shooting of unarmed Australian woman
MINNEAPOLIS — A Minneapolis police officer is set to stand trial for the fatal shooting of an unarmed Australian woman who had called 911 to report a possible sexual assault happening in the alley behind her home. Mohamed Noor, who was fired after the July 2017 shooting, is charged with murder in the death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond.
Here are some key elements as jury selection begins Monday, April 1:
What happened
Noor, 33, shot Damond after she approached his police cruiser. Damond, a 40-year-old life coach and dual Australian-American citizen, had called 911 to report a possible assault.
Officer Matthew Harrity was driving that night and told investigators he heard a voice and a thump and caught a glimpse of someone outside his window. Harrity said he was startled and thought his life was in danger. He said he heard a sound and looked over to see that Noor had fired past him through the driver’s side window, hitting Damond.
Noor refused to talk to investigators. He was fired after he was charged but is appealing his termination.
The charges, and challenges
Noor, who is Somali-American, was charged with second-degree intentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. The most serious charge, second-degree murder, carries a presumptive sentence of more than 25 years in prison.
Minnesota law allows police officers to use deadly force to protect themselves or their partners from death or great bodily harm, however prosecutors have said there was no evidence that Noor faced such a threat. Noor’s attorneys, though, intend to argue that he acted reasonably in self-defense.

History of Five Eyes in Australia
Sourced from QRes#7675
Australia joined the UKUSA agreement (Five Eyes) in 1948. The agreement was a secret treaty and was not even disclosed to Australian Prime Ministers. The existence of the UKUSA Agreement was discovered by the Australian government during the 1973 Murphy raids on the headquarters of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO).
The purpose of the raids, instigated by Attorney-General Lionel Murphy, was to obtain terrorism-related information that the ASIO was accused of withholding. Murphy was operating without the consent of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam or the Whitlam Government, nor the judiciary as warrants were not sought owing to the belief that it was Commonwealth property. This view would later be found to be legally valid by the Royal Commission on Intelligence and Security. This Royal Commission also revealed the existence of Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) and the Defence Signals Directorate (DSD, now ASD).
After learning about the agreement, Whitlam discovered that Pine Gap, a secret surveillance station close to Alice Springs, Australia, had been operated by the CIA. Whitlam opposed the use and control of Pine Gap by the CIA , and he fired the chief of ASIO before being dismissed as prime minister. Pine Gap is now operated jointly by both Australia and the United States.
The existence of the Five Eyes Agreement was not disclosed to the public until 2005. On 25 June 2010, for the first time, the full text of the agreement was publicly released by the United Kingdom and the United States, and can now be viewed online.

"Terrorism Imams"
"Don't forget that the first maximum occupation is free, you idiot"
"I mean he wants to occupy Australia and evaluate the state of evil and darkness in New Zealand, it became 70 years Jews and Zion Occupiers Palestine, it was better to urge the people of Palestine to jihad in Israel"

Australia, Holland, Russia start talks over downed MH17
Sourced from QRes#7687
By TREVOR MARSHALLSEA Associated Press SYDNEY — Mar 27, 2019 1:11 AM
The Netherlands and Australia confirmed Wednesday that three-way talks with Russia have begun over the ongoing criminal investigation into the shooting down of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 in 2014.
The two countries announced last year they were holding Russia responsible for providing the missile fired by pro-Russian forces in war-torn Ukraine that brought down the jet, causing the deaths of all 298 people aboard. The dead included 196 people from the Netherlands and 38 from Australia.
Dutch Foreign Minister Stef Blok and his Australian counterpart Marise Payne said Wednesday that the first trilateral talks about state responsibility for the incident took place earlier this month, after diplomatic approaches were made earlier this year.
"We cannot go into the content of this process because confidentiality is vital here," Blok said at a joint news conference with Payne in Sydney. "But I can say this: We remain committed to achieving truth, justice and accountability."

Beijing aims to drive wedge into Five Eye intelligence pact
BEIJING/SYDNEY – Chinese President Xi Jinping met with New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern in Beijing Monday as he tried to poke holes in a U.S.-led intelligence alliance that seeks to exclude Chinese communication devices from 5-G networks.
"We hope that we can aspire to the greatest common denominator regarding each other's interests," Xi said at their summit. "China wants to continue fresh investments, and New Zealand should provide a fair and balanced environment for Chinese companies," he stressed.
In response, Ardern said that New Zealand is pursuing an independent diplomatic policy and that the country supports free trade.
Prior to her summit with Xi, Ardern met with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, who agreed to upgrade their free trade agreement as part of efforts to strengthen economic ties.
New Zealand is a member of the Five Eyes information-sharing alliance with the U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia. When the Trump administration asked these nations to ban products from China's Huawei Technologies over security concerns, New Zealand's intelligence agency said that the company's 5G products posed a "significant network security risk," leading to tensions with Beijing.
The aim of Ardern's visit to China was to shore up ties with a country that is the largest destination for New Zealand exports. She told Li that her country would not discriminate against any company from any country, suggesting that Huawei products may not be banned there.
It would be significant for China to make inroads with a Five Eyes ally as it spars with the U.S. over trade. Xi also seeks a closer partnership on his Belt and Road Initiative, for which the two have already signed a memorandum of understanding for cooperation on infrastructure construction. New Zealand Minister for Trade and Export Growth David Parker is expected to visit a Belt and Road forum in Beijing early this month.

The Rot Starts At The Top: The Problem With De-Platforming The Far-Right
Sourced from QRes#7698
So, Facebook has finally come to the realisation that white nationalism and separatism is not actually the same as national pride. In a long overdue move, “praise, support, and representation of white nationalism and separatism” will now be banned on the platform.
This comes after growing calls for social media platforms to moderate the content on their sites, including from Scott Morrison, who, following the massacre of 50 people in Christchurch, wants social media companies to “write an algorithm to screen out hate content”. Politicians in both Australia and New Zealand have come together to put pressure on big social media companies, to “ensure their technology products are not exploited by murderous terrorists”. The Coalition government, in a world-first move, will even be introducing a bill to Parliament this week, where social media executives based in Australia could face up to three years in prison and billions of dollars in fines if they fail to remove “abhorrent violent material” in a timely manner.
While this mounting pressure has evidently forced Facebook to take action, it raises the question about smaller social media platforms, particularly those that serve the furthest fringes of the alt-right, like Gab.
What Is Gab?
Founded in 2016, Gab is a relatively small social media platform “dedicated to preserving… freedom of speech”. The site has a largely far-right user-base, with figures such as Blair Cottrell joining after being ‘de-platformed’ from other widely used sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Gab came under fire after the 2018 Pittsburgh Synagogue shooting after it was revealed that the accused shooter maintained an active account on the platform, and used it to announce his intentions. Until this event, in September 2018, the website’s logo was Gabby the frog, fashioned after the appropriated Pepe the Frog alt-right meme.
Gab has groups like ‘Guns of Gab’ (for firearms enthusiasts), ‘Free Speech’ (self-explanatory), ‘Great awakening’ (dedicated to #QAnon, a far-right conspiracy theory that details a plot by a “deep state” against Trump and his supporters), and ‘Anything Goes’ (where…well…anything goes, so it’s “not recommended for snowflakes”). Moreover, Gab actively welcomes users who have been banned from other platforms.
A recent report authored by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and the Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) Center on Extremism, found that major Twitter bans corresponded with the highest peaks of new memberships on the social media site and directly contributes to increased participation. Analysis of the usage of the word ‘ban’ by Gab users suggests that new users are in fact highly motivated by animosity against Facebook, Google, and Twitter.
Savvas Zannettou is a PhD Candidate from Cyprus University of Technology and a member of the NCRI. He says that sites like Gab, 4chan and 8chan — where the alleged Christchurch shooter posted about the attack moments before it took place — will not take any action to mitigate the spread of hateful content on their platforms.
This is “mainly because they don’t have the resources and because they are not really interested in solving the issue.”
On platforms like Gab, disaffected former users of mainstream social media platforms are able to disseminate their ideologies in various ways without the threat of moderation.
“First, as also seen by Christchurch attack, a popular and seemingly effective way to disseminate ideology is via memes. Memes have evolved into an extremely powerful weapon that can transmit weaponised information…or political ideology with the goal to influence opinions. Users on such platforms also extensively share news articles from alternative news sources that have debatable credibility.”
The dissemination of political ideology specifically is where the problem on Gab and other platforms arises. According to a recent study, Gab is used to disseminate information about world events. The majority of hashtags used on the platform are about Trump, news and politics, with the most popular ones including “AltRight” and “Ban Islam”.
It is through the “constant trolling and sharing [of] hateful comments against specific communities like Jewish people and Muslims they create a constant hateful atmosphere against specific populations,” Zannettou says.
Essentially, users, through the spread of memes and fake news are able to live in a virtual white nationalist world fuelled by male ego and fear of the ‘other’.
When asked about the practice of ‘de-platforming’, Zannettou says that “banning these people is not a solution since they will eventually migrate to other platforms and still be able to disseminate their ideology.

Ecuador's president says Julian Assange has 'repeatedly violated the terms of his asylum in London embassy and does not have the right to hack phones'
Published: 05:02 AEDT, 3 April 2019 | Updated: 11:59 AEDT, 3 April 2019
Ecuadorean President Lenin Moreno on Tuesday said that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has 'repeatedly violated' the terms of his asylum in the Andean nation's London embassy, according to a local media interview.
Moreno told the Ecuadorean Radio Broadcasters' Association that Assange does not have the right to 'hack private accounts or phones' and cannot intervene in the politics of other countries, especially those with friendly relations with Ecuador.
That probe was later dropped, but Assange fears he could be extradited to face charges in the United States, where federal prosecutors are investigating WikiLeaks.
He says Ecuador is seeking to end his asylum and is putting pressure on him by isolating him from visitors and spying on him. Ecuador has said its treatment of Assange was in line with international law, but that his situation 'cannot be extended indefinitely.'

Australia will stop contributions to the UN’s major fund for battling climate change this year, according to government budget papers released on Tuesday.
Sourced from QRes#7700
Australia will stop contributions to the UN’s major fund for battling climate change this year, according to government budget papers released on Tuesday.
With a federal election looming, the government followed up on prime minister Scott Morrison’s threat not to “tip money into that big climate fund”.
Since 2015, Australia has given $187m to the fund, which finances projects in the developing world that cut emissions or promote resilience to climate impacts. The budget document said Australia made its “final” contribution of $19.2m in December.
Around a third of Australia’s overseas development budget is spent in the climate-vulnerable Pacific. But the Australia Institute’s Richie Merzian said multilateral institutions, such as the Green Climate Fund, were able to leverage private investment in projects in “a way that the Australian Government has struggled to do”.
“The GCF has co-financing capabilities and regional coverage that Australia couldn’t possibly provide,” he said. Merzian also noted that Australia’s overall aid budget was dropping when measured against the growing economy.
In a statement, Oxfam Australia said the budget was a “catastrophic failure of leadership in the face of the climate crisis – which is out of step with a majority of Australians – and growing inequality and it undermines the future of our Pacific neighbours”.
The Green Climate Fund formed part of a compact between poor and rich countries that was the basis for the Paris climate agreement. Having spent nearly half of its original $10.3bn allocation, the fund has signalled it intends to start raising new finance from developed countries this year.

Australian Bureau of Meteorology altering historical temperature records
Sourced from QRes#7703
The BOM has shortened and altered the historical temperature record for Darwin, Australia. The BOM is no longer using data between 1894 and 1909. They are starting the record at 1910 as this is when an automatic weather station was installed at the Darwin Airport.
The raw data temperature measured on Jan 1st 1910 was 34.2C. A few years ago, the Bureau changed this to 33.8C, cooling the recorded temperature by 0.4 degrees. In its most recent re-revision of Darwin’s climate history the temperature on this day has been further reduced, and is now just 32.8C.
A spokesperson said :
For the case of Darwin, a downward adjustment to older records is applied to account for differences between the older sites and the current site, and difference¬s between older thermometers and the current automated sensor.
In other words, the adjustments estimate what historical temperatures would look like if they were recorded with today’s equipment at the current site.
Yet this is what they said the first time they changed it a few years ago. These fuckers are making the past colder to look like we are increasing in temperature.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern returned home from Beijing on Tuesday having made progress on trade, climate change and a way forward on Huawei.
Sourced from QRes#7705
During the short visit, agreements were signed on scientific cooperation, finance, agriculture and taxation on Monday, and the two sides also agreed to push forward an update of their free-trade deal.
As well as meeting China’s leaders, Ardern opened New Zealand’s new NZ$50 million (US$34 million) Chinese embassy to manage relations with the country’s largest trading partner, calling it “one of our most significant diplomatic spaces”.
The trip could mark a turning point in the Huawei saga, after it was banned by New Zealand allies, and Five Eyes intelligence network members, the United States and Australia.
In November, New Zealand’s spy agency blocked local telecoms company Spark from using Huawei equipment, citing national security risks. But in Beijing, Ardern insisted Huawei had not been banned in New Zealand.

Australian Woman Mysteriously Dies During Flight Home from Los Angeles After Vacation
Friends of a young woman who died on a Qantas flight home to Melbourne say she was “happy and healthy” and have no idea what happened during the flight.
The young woman, named as 33-year-old Aleisha Tracy, died as she was returning home on QF94 from Los Angeles after a holiday in the United States.
Paramedics were called just after 8.30am and met the aircraft when it landed in Tullamarine Airport about 9am on Sunday after the 16-hour flight.
Police are awaiting the results of a post mortem that was expected to be carried out today, to determine the exact cause of her death.
Ms Tracy’s Instagram page shows photos taken in Las Vegas over the past week, as well as a photo of her boarding pass as she waited for her flight to the US in the Qantas International Business Lounge on March 24.
Friends have paid tribute online to Ms Tracy, a National Broadband Network operations centre employee from the Melbourne suburb of Sunshine West.
“Aleisha Tracy I’m devastated. I will miss you brightening up my day. I will miss your hilarious stories,” friend David Loiterton wrote.
An NBN spokesperson said Ms Tracy was a “well-liked” member of the NBN team.
“We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Aleisha who was a valuable and well liked member of the NBN team,” the spokesperson said. “She will be greatly missed. The thoughts of everyone at nbn are with her family, friends and work colleagues at this difficult time.”

NZ tech company discovers major Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox bug
Sourced from QRes#7707
Aura, a government-owned tech company, has discovered what it is calling a "very big" software flaw in the Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome web browsers.
The bug allows a user's private photos and sensitive documents such as passports, driver licenses and other identifying content to be uploaded to websites, and to be obtained by malicious hackers.
The bug was discovered by Alex Nikolova, a security analyst based in the company's Wellington office, and at the time of discovery had affected up to one in 10 browsers worldwide, or more than 300 million users.
Nikolova first found the vulnerability in February and notified Mozilla and Google (the two companies who develop the web browsers).
Both Google and Mozilla requested Nikolova not to speak publicly about the discovery until the software bug was "patched" last month.
The bug was addressed in a security update "within days" according to Aura general manager Peter Bailey, with the latest version of Firefox (version 66) no longer exploitable.
The company says there is no evidence to suggest malicious hackers had discovered or exploited the hole in the software before the NZ-based team identified it.
To protect their computers and mobile devices against the bug, users are advised to follow their browser's software update process. However, it acknowledges this is something not all users do regularly.
"Patch. Keep yourself up-to date, all the time. Vulnerabilities come out every day and those who want to exploit your data don't need longer than that," said Nikolova.
Some companies offer bounties to hackers who report vulnerabilities in their software (Tesla recently offered up $250,000 to anyone who could hack their Model 3), however Aura says it didn't receive such a pay-out.

The claims by Ecuador’s President that Julian Assange has “violated the conditions of his asylum” are linked to WikiLeaks reporting on INA Papers that implicated Lenin Moreno in corruption, the whistleblower website said.
A probe against Moreno has been brought forward by an opposition MP, who received a dossier from an anonymous source with documents allegedly revealing that the president and his family were involved in corruption, perjury and money laundering through an offshore firm.
The harsh statements by the Ecuadorean leader against WikiLeaks’ founder came “after WikiLeaks reported on the existence of the INAPapers offshore corruption scandal wracking his government,” the whistleblowers wrote on Twitter.

Doctors Who Discovered Cancer Enzymes in Vaccines all Found Murdered
Sourced from QRes#7711 - Including here as has been some discussion about vaccines in the past on the breads, and this is highly relevant.
Not long ago, Neon Nettle reported on the epidemic of doctors being murdered, most of which were in Florida, U.S. The scientists all shared a common trait, they had all discovered that nagalase enzyme protein was being added to vaccines which were then administrated to humans. (SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYvLPCze_So
Nagalese is what prevents vitamin D from being produced in the body, which is the body’s main defense to naturally kill cancer cells.
According to Thebigriddle.com: Nagalase is a protein that’s also created by all cancer cells. This protein is also found in very high concentrations in autistic children. And they’re PUTTING it in our vaccines!!
This prevents the body from utilizing the Vitamin D necessary to fight cancer and prevent autism. Nagalese disables the immune system. It’s also known to cause Type 2 Diabetes. So basically…they weren’t killing these doctors because they had found the cure to cancer or were successfully treating autism… they’re killing them because these Dr’s had been researching and had the evidence that the vaccines they’re injecting our precious children with are CAUSING our current cancer and autism crisis!!
And that it’s obviously being done knowingly and on purpose! The Dr’s they killed in FL had been collaborating and were getting ready to go public with the information.
Depopulation 101..add poison to vaccines…make it law that all children must be injected to attend school. Slow kill methods. They think they’re being fair w/ their “survival of the fittest” type mentality. Only the best genes survive? These people have no souls.
Dr Ted Broer broke it on The Hagmann & Hagmann Report and it took them a whole hour just to get him on air b/c their 3 hour show was brought down and every line they tried to use kept disconnecting…and then their servers were brought down.
They asked a bunch of people to pray against the attack and then finally got him on a secured line..and so a full hour into the show they were finally back on the air and connected to Dr Broer and the first thing he said was “I am in no way suicidal.” He was super nervous holding onto this info…afraid he’d be taken out Hastings style before he got a chance to say it publicly. So listen to this short clip of him breaking the story.
It’s a 19 min clip but the most important info is heard within the first 10 min. It is definitely some of the most important news I’ve ever heard. And it needs to go viral.

Australian Senator's comments censured; Attack on Free Speech
Sourced from QRes#7112
3 April 2019
The Australian Senate has formally censured a lawmaker who sparked outrage by blaming the New Zealand mosque attacks on Muslim migration.
Senator Fraser Anning, a far-right independent, made his comments on the day of the shootings in Christchurch which killed 50 people last month.
On Wednesday, lawmakers from across the political spectrum condemned his "inflammatory and divisive" remarks.
Mr Anning said the censure was "an attack on free speech".
The reprimand, the fifth to be passed by the Senate in the past decade, stated that Mr Anning's remarks last month did not reflect the views of the parliament or the Australian people.
He had said: "The real cause of bloodshed on New Zealand streets today is the immigration program that allowed Muslim fanatics to migrate to New Zealand in the first place."
His comments were "shameful" and "appalling", other lawmakers told the Senate. The censure read that Mr Anning had sought to "attribute blame to victims of a horrific crime and to vilify people on the basis of religion".

Panama Papers investigation helps recover more than $1.2 billion around the world
First-time gains in Panama, France and Iceland have pushed above $1.16 billion the global tally of fines and back taxes resulting from the Panama Papers investigation’s exposure of the offshore finance industry.
On the third anniversary of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists-led investigation, which included the Miami Herald and McClatchy’s Washington Bureau, the fallout from it is gathering pace through hundreds of separate investigations into undisclosed wealth across scores of nations.
Since June 2018, the United Kingdom alone has added $119 million, to bring its total to more than $252 million; Australia has collected another $43 million to eclipse $92 million; and Belgium has added an extra $6.5 million to its government coffers to surpass $18 million. French tax authorities have confirmed nearly $136 million has now been recovered — and that figure is expected to rise. They have carried out more than 500 inspections since April 2016.
Canada’s Revenue Agency, which also raided two properties last week in connection to the investigation, has revealed it had recouped nearly $6.8 million in federal taxes and fines from 66 audits. The agency said it planned to audit about 234 more taxpayers linked to the probe. Fewer than 10 criminal investigations are ongoing.
“The audit work will take several years to complete as many taxpayers are using litigation to obstruct CRA audits,” the CRA told ICIJ’s Canadian partner, the Toronto Star.
In Iceland, the Directorate of Tax Investigations has finished 24 investigations relating to the Panama Papers and estimates it has recouped $25.5 million. Icelanders took to the streets after the 2016 investigation was released, and the former prime minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson resigned just days after the first stories were published.
And in Panama, authorities have clawed back more than $14 million in the past three years. Investigations are continuing in numerous countries including Austria (where regulators are examining whether two major banks followed procedures to prevent money laundering), Germany, France, and Norway.
ICIJ, together with the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung and more than 100 other media partners, spent more than a year sifting through 11.5 million leaked files to expose offshore holdings.
The files, which were leaked to Süddeutsche Zeitung, came from a little-known but powerful law firm based in Panama, Mossack Fonseca, that had branches in Hong Kong, Miami, Zurich and more than 35 other places around the globe.
The first American charged in relation to the Panama Papers, Richard Gaffey, 74, a Massachusetts accountant, is due to be tried in October for conspiracy to commit tax evasion, money laundering and wire fraud. He has pleaded not guilty.
“The public didn’t fully grasp this reality before but it certainly does now.”
In each country, these are the amounts recovered, in American dollars:
Australia – $92,880,415
Austria – $2,725,869
Belgium – $18,749,009
Colombia – $88,884,000
Czech Republic – $36,462,741
Denmark – $47,500,000
Ecuador – $84,300,000

Malta – $10,706,938
Mexico – $21,568,200
Netherlands – $8,283,390
New Zealand – $410,400

Is the Mueller Report another Stealth Bomber?
Been wondering for the past few weeks … whether the specific language used by Barr in his Mueller report summation letter and the non-release of the Mueller report by DJT, has been a 5D chess move designed to force the Dems to start demanding its release.
And also if the Mueller Report may be another Stealth Bomber, showing a lot more of the collusion background which led to the false pretences under which it was first created, in short are the Dems going to continue demanding to see this report, and when its finally released (after much frothing and calls for blood) will the report actually be a trojan horse designed to start the FISA release ball rolling?
Interesting times … enjoy the movie folks.
