Reading books by CIA folks over the years, Mossad has benefitted from Arabs that feel this violence isn’t reasonable, and provide intel to help stop raids. I can guess that Iran has helped with signal intel over time to determine who’s calling in tips, and left those people in place while cutting them out of the loop on this attack. Probably Mossad was getting false traffic from normal moles while all this was planned.
Sadly there’s not a good end for those informers post attack, they served their role to keep Mossad complacent, and likely died just after the strike.
All conjecture (I have no intel sources on this), but bad for Mossad if true. This would leave them back to square one on human intel if it happened.
Because it’s an expensive propaganda tool. Insanely expensive against cheap and plentiful Scud missiles.
Plus, there’s not much incentive to stop 100% of the missiles because that would make it harder to justify military aid. Though in this case it could easily be that the system just isn’t as effective as it likes to tell the people it’s encouraging to move into Palestinian homes.
Except the Iron Dome has been active 24/7 for years and is arguably the most effective ground-based aerial defense system in the world.
Please understand that I’m not endorsing any conspiracies. I’m genuinely curious what happened. Right now my best informed hypothesis is that the sheer number of rockets launched managed to overwhelm the system.
If anyone has better information I would greatly appreciate hearing it.
The missile attack was pure saturation. So many objects in the air at once is just too much for the few launchers available. There’s only like 7 of them actually online at any given time. They cost a billion dollars each.
They waited for a day everyone wants to be home, did a massive attack to send everyone into hiding, and then breached the gates. It’s such a massive power move that no one thought they’d be stupid enough to do. Yes, it succeeded, but they can’t win, and the response now will be tenfold more powerful. And justified.
Is it even arguable? What else would come close? My assumption is the same, stock up and then throw everything you have blitzkrieg style in an effort to oversaturated it.
Protecting the US from itself is an issue distinctly for civilian agencies… and it wasn’t that none of them failed to foresee issues… it’s that they can’t act before a crime has been committed and the capitol police were denied reinforcements.
… and it’s really that last part that’s the crux of the issue… if capital police had been given reinforcements, there never would’ve been a Jan 6th.
Yup, Ttere was a lot of chatter on how trump’s protest rally could easily turn violent. We’ve been slowly getting info since then that basically trump or a lackey had to give permission to send in the national guard.
We knew that day of. I was watching that live the day that it happened and they repeatedly said that they were waiting on approval from the Whitehouse IIRC both for the capital police and for activation of the DC national guard.
Is it not possible to use both at the same time? They’re both network protocols but surely they operate on different levels, ActivityPub is the social networking protocol and Veilid would be the method of distribution within that protocol. I’m new to all this stuff so i could definitely be wrong
Oh, I see what you mean. Uuuh, doable I suppose, but then again, why bother when it’s going to be encrypted in transit anyways (HTTPS and all) and both the sender and the recipient naturally have to be able to read it do to anything with it.
This protocol sounds more like something for torrenting or so, so that you could seed a file without knowing what it contains and hence have plausible deniability.
That’s a really good point and not something i thought of but with https doesn’t the server still have the ability to trace users via their IP and could be asked by governments for information? I guess tor is already good enough tor that though
Your instance would have connection logs for whatever browsers or mobile apps you used, but other instances talk directly to yours and know nothing about you. So use an instance hosted in a jurisdiction you’re comfortable with or like you said tor or another basic vpn is plenty to anonymize you.
Plus, ActivityPub is server-to-server, it’s one instance pulling data from another. I guess what you mean could be a user accessing their instance but like you say, Tor already covers that.
It could be more relevant for something like the… name escapes me… the instagram fediverse site. Or well some file sharing system of course.
I bothered to look, fuck clown. The sign-up page explicitly asks for phone number, though the preceding page says “or”. Downvote all you want, bots and all. Your post is bullshit, OP.
Ok, ill just keep downloading fonts without having to sign up to the website, like I always have been. You lack the ability to do more investigation, so there’s no helping you
Aww, is indirect context covered in next semester lit class? My bad. Good luck with all your future one-handed online adventures, cupcake. At least you like you, right?
I don’t like to see fellow pirates fighting each other - save it for the corporate overlords! To clarify this issue, you absolutely can Google search the site the OP mentioned via Google and download links etc. Think of that site kind of like the Russian Facebook/Instagram/YouTube all rolled into one. They do have an app they try to get you to download, and they do want you sign up for an account, but the content is also indexed by Google so you can find stuff without the app and without logging in, using the method described by the OP.
This would’ve been a responsible addition to include in the initial post, not just for clarity but to safeguard our fellow members from the phishing evident on that login page. Thanks for weighing in. I’ll go back to kickin’ corpo teeth in.
