SpaceX spying

Digital DawnMusk builds vast network of spy satellites

Digital Dawn - March 20, 2024

SpaceX reportedly signed a $1,8 billion contract with US intelligence services in 2021.

   

Elon Musk's secret Starshield project will allow the US military to track targets and support US and allied ground forces in real time almost anywhere in the world, Reuters reported, sharing new details about the billionaire's dealings with the Pentagon.

SpaceX has launched military satellite prototypes alongside "civilian" payloads on Falcon 9 rockets since at least 2020, before landing a lucrative $1,8 billion contract with the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) in 2021. Reuters wrote on Saturday, citing five anonymous sources familiar with the project.

The vast constellation of low-orbit satellites will be capable of tracking ground targets in real time almost anywhere in the world, the sources said. One boasted that Starshield would ensure “no one can hide” from the US government. Starshield also reportedly aims to be “more resistant to attacks” from rival space powers.

It remains unclear how many Starshield satellites are currently operational or when the system is expected to be fully operational, with SpaceX and the Pentagon ignoring requests for comment from Reuters. The NRO said it was developing "the most capable, diverse and survivable space intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance system the world has ever known," but it declined to comment on SpaceX's role in the project.

SpaceX's CEO has already acknowledged the development of the military alternative to the "civilian" Starlink system, declaring in September that this system would be "owned by the US government" and controlled by the Department of Defense.

“Starlink should be a civilian network, not a combat participant,” Musk said, referring to Ukraine's use of satellites throughout the conflict with Russia.

Musk donated about 20 Starlink terminals to Ukraine shortly after Russia launched its military operation in February 000. Since then, Kiev's troops have relied heavily on the system to maintain communications and operate combat drones along the front line.

While pledging to support Ukraine, Musk has repeatedly stated that he favors a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The billionaire drew the wrath of American authorities after refusing kyiv's request to use the Starlink network to facilitate strikes on the Russian Black Sea fleet. Musk argued that activating Starlink in Crimea would violate US sanctions. In the absence of direct orders from US leaders, SpaceX chose not to violate regulations despite kyiv's request, the tycoon explained.

Earlier this month, US lawmakers reportedly launched another investigation into SpaceX, after Ukraine claimed Russian troops allegedly used the Starlink satellite service on the conflict's front lines. Musk denied the allegations, insisting that "no Starlink was sold directly or indirectly to Russia." The Kremlin also insisted that the Russian military never ordered Starlink terminals.

neuralink implant

Réseau InternationalMusk's company Neuralink implanted the first implant in the human brain

International Network - Feb 01, 2024

American entrepreneur Elon Musk's neurotechnology company, Neuralink, has implanted an implant in the human brain for the first time.

   

“The first human received a Neuralink implant yesterday and is recovering well,” Elon Musk posted on X.

“The first results show promising detection of neuronal spikes,” he adds.

“Our mission: Create a generalized brain interface to restore autonomy to those whose medical needs are not met today and unleash the human potential of tomorrow,” announces the Neuralink website.

“Our brain-computer interface is fully implantable, aesthetically invisible and designed to allow you to control a computer or mobile device wherever you go,” it says.

The entrepreneur added that Neuralink's first product is called Telepathy. This will allow a person to control their phone and computer through the power of thought. “The first users will be people who have lost control of their limbs,” Elon Musk said.

Neuralink is recruiting candidates: “If you would like to know if you might be eligible for current and/or future Neuralink clinical trials, consider joining our patient registry.”

Elon Musk, a wolf in sheep's clothing

   

Let's think: how can you officially be the richest man in the world and oppose the sect, without whose support his empire would collapse in one day?

And why do governments, which supposedly hate Musk’s “free speech,” continue to give him the taxpayer subsidies his empire depends on?

How is it that the sect, through its Deep State, which controlled Twitter and what could be published, suddenly sold it to Musk, an absolutist of free speech?

Now he is the god of alternative media that the sect must control...

Starlink success

Digital DawnStarlink global traffic triples in 2023

Digital Dawn - 24 Dec 2023

Crowning Elon Musk as the leader of the spatial internet.

   

New data from IT security firm Cloudflare reveals a surge in popularity for Elon Musk's Starlink internet service, with global web traffic tripling this year.

“Overall, we have seen Starlink traffic more than triple this year. In the United States, Starlink traffic increased more than 2,5 times, and increased 17 times in Brazil. In countries where Starlink will go live in 2023, including Kenya, the Philippines, and Zambia, we saw traffic increase rapidly as soon as the service became available,” Cloudflare writes in its report.

Starlink's satellite broadband internet service has grown exponentially over the past three years. This development is due to the increase in launches by SpaceX of Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit.

Starlink is the world's leading internet service provider in space. Jeff Bezos' Project Kuiper service is very late, with only a few satellites in low orbit. Bezos recently had to hire Musk for rocket launches after his rocket company Blue Origin suffered a series of delays over the summer.

Starlink had more than two million users as of September and operated on all seven continents in more than 60 countries.

Neuralink FDA approved

Something fishyThousands of people waiting to try Elon Musk's Neuralink

Eel under the Rock - Nov 16, 2023

Thousands of people have reportedly expressed interest in participating in FDA-approved human trials of the brain-computer interface developed by Elon Musk's Neuralink.

   

A computer chip will be installed in the brains of participants, who can only hope for better results than Musk's test monkeys, many of whom met a grisly fate.

Business Insider reports that Neuralink, the brain-computer interface startup co-founded by Elon Musk in 2016, has seen skyrocketing public interest in its upcoming human trials. A recent report says thousands of people have lined up to take part in the trials, which involve the implantation of a brain chip, referred to by Musk as “the Fitbit in your skull”. This development follows the FDA's authorization for Neuralink to begin human trials, after initially rejecting its offer for safety reasons.

Neuralink's ambitious project aims to create a symbiosis between man and machine, enabling direct communication and control through thought. While the initial goal is to help people with neurological conditions, such as those suffering from paralysis due to spinal cord injuries or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the long-term view extends to broader applications, such as sending messages or playing games with your mind alone.

The process includes a craniectomy – the removal of part of the skull – followed by insertion of the brain chip and an ultrafine array of around 64 wires by a robot. These wires, thinner than a lock of hair, would then be connected to the brain. The chip, designed to be placed behind the ear, would replace the part of the skull removed during surgery.

Despite the keen interest it arouses, Neuralink has not yet implanted its device in a human being. The company has set a goal of operating on 11 people next year and more than 22 by 000. Before carrying out human trials, Neuralink carried out implantation operations on animal testing subjects, including pigs and monkeys, using the robot designed for this procedure. Elon Musk has pushed for the robot to operate faster and for operations to be carried out without human assistance, highlighting the urgency of progress in this area.

economic crash of the electric car

GeopolintelThe economic crash of the electric car

Geolintel - Oct 29, 2023

The automobile industry is forced to slow down the electrification of its models.

   

This is the trend that predominates in the United States, and throughout the world, company managers are increasingly worried about customer rejection and the exorbitant prices of spare parts such as batteries.
Mary Barra, CEO of General Motors, admits abandoning her initial goals for producing electric vehicles. “As we move forward with the transformation to electric vehicles, things get a little more complicated.”

Elon Musk, leader of electric cars in the United States, signaled that the economic crisis would lead to a drop in demand. The CEO of Mercedes Benz described the electric car market as “brutal” with cars costing thousands of dollars more than thermal models.
Inflation will have been the pivot of the fall of the electric vehicle, supply and demand still dominate the automobile market, and when the consumer no longer has the means to buy a vehicle, it is the manufacturer who suffers. .

In addition, the electrification of the charging station network is late and continues to be supported by diesel generators which are easy to install on the motorway network. The European Parliament passed a law to install a charging station every 60 kilometers by 2026. But three years is an eternity, and drivers can't wait that long.

A journey in an electric car is a delicate experience where the pleasure of driving fades after a quarter of an hour to find the locations of the charging stations. A journey in an electric car is also lengthened by the recharging time which is long compared to the time it takes to fill a petrol tank. The electric car only had an urban future consisting of short journeys and less need for recharging.

As of October 31, 2023, auto insurance prices will skyrocket.

The tax exemption on insurance contributions (TSCA) for electric vehicles will end on December 31, 2023. A subsidized economy does nothing good, on the contrary it distorts the market creating an illusion for buyers. Let's also not forget the increase in the price of electricity which will make a full electric tank more expensive than a full tank of gasoline. Macron's government has asked insurers to moderate their prices in the face of the significant rise in inflation.

Ticket machine and terminal for electric cars.

Philippe Saby, general manager of the broker Sally Azar gives us an example of an increase:
“This can represent a 27% increase in the comprehensive insurance premium.”
The insurer's problem is also to prevent fires caused by electric battery fires when the car is in the garage of the house. This specific case de facto leads to an increase in home insurance of around more than 5%.

EU vs Elon Musk

The Media in 4-4-2EU: government threatens Elon Musk to block X (Twitter)

The Media in 4-4-2 - Oct 13, 2023

Serious warning from Jean-Noël Barrot to Elon Musk regarding the regulation of content on digital platforms, under the Digital Service Act (DSA) in Europe.

   

Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister Delegate for Digital Affairs, sent a stern warning to Elon Musk regarding the regulation of content on digital platforms, including Twitter (renamed X). This gesture follows Thierry Breton's previous letter, and it highlights the obligations arising from the Digital Service Act (DSA) in Europe.

The DSA, in force since the end of August, imposes fines and even bans on platforms that do not respect the rules for moderating publications. Barrot stressed that the decision to adopt these regulations rests with the sovereign European people.

He also clarified that these rules will apply to all platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), if they do not meet moderation standards. The French government has taken action by reporting these issues to the European Commission and to Thierry Breton, who has already issued warnings to Twitter in the form of tweets.

Elon Musk aspires to create a WeChat-like model with X.com, an all-in-one app

   

A new era of digital communication seems to be dawning with Elon Musk's announcement of the launch of X.com, which takes over from Twitter as we know it. This site presented as "revolutionary", directed by a so-called "visionary" CEO, promises an unprecedented experience, combining messaging, videos, audios... and even integrated bank payment functionalities that leave you wondering.

The integration of TwitterBlue authentication will indeed allow users to access a world of possibilities to carry out their online transactions “with simplicity”. Musk's digital influence is undeniable, sparking unprecedented excitement after Covid restrictions were lifted. His famous #TwitterFiles generated a veritable tidal wave on the platform, propelling Twitter to new heights.

Guy BoulianneThe hallucinations of non-human intelligence begin to take over the world.

Guy Boulianne - Apr 02, 2023

What connects the CIA and TikTok is artificial intelligence (AI), which is intelligence — perceiving, synthesizing, and inferring information — demonstrated by machines, as opposed to intelligence displayed by non-human animals and humans .

   

As Hersh revealed that the CIA was tasked "to give the system a boost in an effort to dismiss the claim that Biden ordered the destruction of the pipelines," they brought the agencies' artificial intelligence capabilities into action. American espionage “Project SABLE SPEAR”, and to understand the true power and threat of TikTok, a good first step is to read the document “Why TikTok made its user so obsessive? The AI ​​Algorithm that got you hooked”.

One of the world leaders in artificial intelligence research is the OpenAI laboratory, the creator of the advanced artificial intelligence language generator ChatGBT ChatBot. In a recent interview, the CEO of these artificial intelligence labs, Sam Altman, said with awe: "I think people should be happy that we're a little scared by this...I'm particularly concerned that these models can be used for large-scale misinformation… The thing I try to warn people the most about is what we call the “hallucination problem”… The model will confidently state things as if they were facts, but they are entirely made up". And the co-founder of this artificial intelligence laboratory, Elon Musk, bluntly warned during a speech at the Centennial Symposium of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT on October 24, 2014: "With artificial intelligence , we invoke the demon. In all these stories where there's the guy with the pentagram and the holy water, it's like yeah he sure can control the demon…it didn't work”.

In the past 48 hours, the artificial intelligence “demon” and its “hallucination problem” have come to the fore after President Donald Trump released a video unveiling his plan to take down the Deep State, which has been viewed 1,7 million times — a video immediately countered by artificial intelligence, footage created showing President Trump furiously fighting with arresting New York police officers, has been viewed over 4 million times and constitute a terrifying demonstration proving the power of artificial intelligence on the truth.

France SoirInternet outage: Musk offers help to Italy

France Evening - Feb 14, 2023

A large computer outage due to “an international connection problem” was reported on Sunday February 5 by Italy.

   

The national transalpine cybersecurity agency (ACN) invited other organizations to “take measures to protect their systems”. Elon Musk takes the opportunity to promote Starlink, his satellite internet service, which is available “as a main or backup source of internet connection”, if necessary.

After the global outage that hit the servers of the Netflix streaming platform on Wednesday February 1, 2023, it was Italy's turn on Sunday to face "an international connection problem", according to Telecom Italia (TIM). The opportunity for Elon Musk, after learning of the incident, to recall that there are alternative internet networks.
A large-scale blackout

In an article published by the Reuters news agency on Sunday February 5, Italy's national cybersecurity agency (ACN) reported "a ransomware hacking attack" affecting thousands of computer servers around the world and warned organizations “to take measures to protect their systems”.

At the same time, an internet outage knocked out thousands of household connections across much of Italy, but no link between this widespread outage and hacking operations has yet been established - Telecom italia (TIM) s due to an "international connection problem".

Yesterday, the Fing Internet Alert website, which offers to measure connection quality, reported the extent of the problem on its Twitter account. This heat map seems to demonstrate that the phenomenon has spread nationwide.

behind Elon Musk Twitter

Réseau InternationalThe Big Game: Elon Musk and Twitter

International Network - Jan 11, 2023

The takeover of Twitter by Elon Musk has sparked reactions around the world. The mainstream media falls on him. In contrast, millions of Musk fans are celebrating their hero. But few people suspect what really lies behind the takeover of Twitter.

   

On his YouTube channel, renowned German economics and finance expert Ernst Wolff constantly sheds light on the opaque world of global finance through his contributions and interviews. Complex relationships are reduced to the essentials and explained in an understandable way, even for laymen. In the section “Current commentary”, Ernst Wolff also takes a stand on current topics and shows the undersides and contexts that are not talked about in the mainstream media. Here is a comment from Elon Musk and Twitter:

The takeover of Twitter by Elon Musk has sparked reactions around the world. The mainstream media fall on him because he has announced that he will no longer exercise censorship and because they now fear a deluge of fake news. In contrast, millions of Musk fans celebrate their hero as the savior of free speech. Obviously the two groups do not notice yet that their respective attitudes make them victims of the most dangerous tendency of our time. The division of society!

Let's try to analyze all this coldly and first see who Elon Musk is all about.

Musk is one of the founders of PayPal. PayPal, whose main shareholders are BlackRock and Vanguard, is currently the subject of several legal proceedings, as the company allegedly defrauded customers and lured investors with false claims.

Musk founded SpaceX and Starlink in 2002. With nearly 2600 satellites, Starlink is by far the largest satellite operator in the world and is used by the corrupt regime in Ukraine, among others, to wage war.

Musk has been the CEO of the automotive group TESLA since 2008, whose main shareholders are also BlackRock and Vanguard. Anyone who buys a Tesla electric car consents to the car uploading driving data to the automaker's cloud. Those who wish to avoid this data collection by modifying their vehicle will receive a warning from Tesla's attorneys for license violation.
