Kaspersky launches its own OS on Russian routers

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/08/23/kasperskyos/

The western spy agencies have increased their activity, against Russia, everyone one needs to be on guard.

Austin wrote:The issue is too serious and too critical for Russia to wait for its OS to be developed.

They should just remove any US or other provider server and routers from MIC , Space , R&D Institution , Hospitals , Critical Infra and replace with Russian Build Hardware and Software.

IBM , CISCO , Windows , ZTE are just extended Spying Arm of US Government and Chinese

The extent of CIA tools used and methods are mind boggling , I can just imagine how much competent NSA must be

Glenn Greenwald: how the NSA tampers with US-made internet routers

This is one of the reasons that piss me off ,boils my blood about Putin.
His ignorance on how extremely critical important if for Russia to become fully
technology independent from United states. Sanctions had to happen first by Europe in 2014 on Russia for Putin realize that perhaps he needs to invest on his own computers and software. Putin came in power in 2000 ,and he could have by now had a strong semiconductor industry in Russia ,if he did not wasted so much money in useless olympics ,financing veterans of world war 2 ,some that not even are Russian citizens. and so large useless navy for defending Russia no idea from what , Since NATO can deploy their missiles right there at Russian borders. Americans can tomorrow morning disconnect Russia from the internet for example and it will happen at the second Us and Russia engage in a small direct fight. it can also disconnect Russia banking system too for depending on European swift.

About CIA/NSA capabilities to control technology , many do not understand that many of this so called "Hacks" are nothing more than Backdoors , that is
undocumented "Features" ,developed by that american or some major allies european companies at the request of the American government ,that the hardware in question had from factory when produced since day one.
so that the American government can spy on american citizens or any citizen of the world using American or European technology.

Look at example of the controversy of US bush elections in florida ,where voting machines ,somehow became biased and counted backwards many of the votes for the Bush competition. in the report on youtube called [hacking democracy]. What in reality happened was NOT a hack. But that voting machines memory card disk ,developed by a company which received a lot of money by the US government. had an unexpected ,secret hardware inside the memory disk ,that had nothing to do with the function of the storage device.
and it was a secret cheating device ,installed in the memory disk that can be easily modified by any of the company staff ,to count backwards the votes of any Candidate the Republican party or democrats one ,did not liked. Cable companies also have been boosted included spy cameras inside their cable converter to record and film any family home ,what they were doing.  This have nothing to do with security ,but about having information they could use to control society . For example it could be used to expose a lawmaker cheating on their wife , or get evidence of pedhopilia on children they could use to black mail and control any politicians. So this spying is not for security but for blackmailing and control of society . it can be used for stealing intellectual property too , industrial espionage ,the blue prints of a new monitor ,of technology etc.

So all this problems of Microsoft software ,apple electronics ,or Intel or Amd technology , is not a hack in reality, but a feature integrated secretly in that hardware ,for facilitating any stealing of private information. it could be used for easy money , lets say stealing credit card bank accounts ,that is a few thousands free dollars here or there and blame it on "hackers".
So it should not be surprising Karpersky claims of Fileless malware in computers. Is not a hack but undocumented features ,that American companies of technology integrate in their software and hardware for the benefit of a fascist government who wants to control every opposition to the government and have in check any ally. So many of this undocumented features on American technology can be countered at all with anything. It have been told CIA can enter in any private server ,without the other side even being aware of it ,because it was designed that way. So you could have any antivirus or firewall in the world ,no matter how good it is ,and will never
be able to stop a US agency of spying on it ,because those are undocumented secret features the hardware and software have since it was created.  It will be similar at selling a brand new house to someone , but in the basement of the house ,there is a secret passage ,a secret tunnel ,that people from outside who knows about it ,can enter the house and steal anything totally bypassing all house doors security and without a need to break anything. So the word "hacking " is misleading , the CIA does not bother to hack ,they just enter on any server with Windows software ,normally with the point of a few mouse clicks. They also can bribe software designers ,to develop secret functionality in their software or hardware ,so that the US government can enter at will.it was wikileaks who exposed how the CIA can steal the IP of any nation ,use it to commit fraud anywhere ,and later the trace of the attack will be blamed on the nation who they stole its ip. After all the Internet Servers are all in United States. so they with the flip of switch here or there can shutdown internet on any nation.

So all the problems with internet security is working as intended. . is not a "mistake" ,is not "american incompetence" but working as intended ,is the way it was supposed to work and the way it was designed.that is US computers industry and Internet . The US government simply wants 100% of the technology produce in America, Europe to be very simple and easy to enter . it could be by the CIA to steal intellectual property , that is the blueprints of a commercial product of the compettion. ie. A new monitor or any new technological invention.


This is why Putin have been eating shit ,his entire time as politician and not promoting Russia to become fully independent of the wester technology ,including internet . If Israel that is a tiny state ,can design Intel processors , then i don't see why Russia can't. Russia needs an industrial revolution in IT and semiconductors , fast computers and artificial intelligence. By not pushing Russia into becoming Truly independent nation ,not only in politics or military ,as they are now ,but also in technology too. and instead wasting so much money ,so many billions and billions of dollars in stupid sports or re-enacting Russia glorious soviet past and former victories.

So fileless malware indeed is a nightmare to counter it a reverse engineering of western technology is need to fully counter it ,or create its own alternative.
So Putin is a decade late in banning the use of western software ,or technology in their government and military industries. Russia needs to kick their own ass really hard and start investing in a strong technology industry for Russia.

Well known how the actions and events happen, but what can be done? Navalny starting his own broadcast (LOL). Guess really the only way to prevent this is to really just counter the guys arguments and continue to do what you do by stopping foreign money funneling in and to prevent mass unrest like what is going on in Venezuela or what happened in Ukraine. I think the National Guard is more than alert on this and are more prepared than any of us would be in power. But I think the only method is to allow people to protest, block them off and separate them, and let them just tire themselves out. Navalny is a crook, why he can keep getting away with it is beyond me.

You can't stop someone from exercising free speech and Russian authority is keeping his brother behind prison only for a purpose.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his former KGB colleagues visited an ex-East Germany station chief to wish their former boss well on his 90th birthday.

Intel Agent Reveals How NATO Planned to Tear Russia Apart

According to secret documents obtained by a Russian intelligence service, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, NATO planned to split Russia into several smaller parts, a former secret agent told Russia's Rossiya 1 broadcaster.

After the collapse of the USSR, NATO planned to divide Russia into small parts diminishing the state to the size of the medieval Moscow principality, a veteran of the Russian "illegal" intelligence service said during the Vesti v Subbotu ("News on Saturday") program of Russia's Rossiya 1 broadcaster.
The program was dedicated to the 95th anniversary of the Directorate S ("illegal" intelligence service) of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation (SVR).

The interview was conducted by Vesti v Subbotu anchor Sergei Brilev. The voice, face and name of the former agent were changed due to security reasons.

"Pavel Andreyevich [the agent's alias] says that the NATO documents obtained by him signaled that the dissolution of the USSR was only the first stage," Brilev noted.

"And then [NATO planned] to create the Russian North-Volga Republic and then the Middle Volga Republic, and reduce the Russian state to the level and size of the Moscow principality," the intelligence veteran specified.

"We have these documents, they are now in the archive of our [Russian intelligence] service," the former agent stressed.

The idea of the partition of Russia is not new.

In his book The Grand Chessboard published six years after the collapse of the USSR, a former US national security adviser and geostrategist, Zbigniew Brzezinski, insisted that "a more decentralized Russia would be less susceptible to imperial mobilization."

"A loosely confederated Russia — composed of a European Russia, a Siberian Republic, and a Far Eastern Republic — would find it easier to cultivate closer economic regulations with Europe, with the new states of Central Asia, and with [East Asia], which would thereby accelerate Russia's own development," the geostrategist claimed.

"Each of the three confederated entities would also be more able to tap local creative potential, stifled for centuries by Moscow's heavy bureaucratic hand," he added.
Interestingly enough, before Brzezinski, the idea to sever Russia along the Ural Mountains thus dividing it into "European" and "Asian" (Siberia and the Far East) parts, was mulled over by Nazi Germany and its allies.

In December 1941, half a year after Nazi Germany invaded the USSR, the Empire of Japan offered Adolf Hitler and Italian dictator Benito Mussolini to divide Eurasia into two spheres of interest along the 70th meridian east longitude. As observers noted, Hitler didn't plan to seize much of Soviet territory east of the Ural Mountains.

More than a decade before the Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan considered the partitioning of Russia, the territory of the former Russian Empire was subjected to Allied intervention — a multinational military expedition launched during the Russian Civil War of 1918 by major European powers which backed the anti-Bolshevik White Guard.

The United States, Canada, Japan and China took part in the intervention campaign along with European powers occupying Russia's northwestern regions, Crimea, Bessarabia, Siberia and the Far East. However, their efforts were thwarted by divided objectives, a lack of domestic support, war-weariness largely caused by World War I and the military successes of the Red Army

As history shows, each time Russia faced severe domestic and geopolitical challenges it ran the risk of falling prey to the global power game.

Russian diplomats expect US to step up destabilization attempts as 2018 election nears

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov says his colleagues expect the US to intensify activities aimed at destabilizing Russia as the 2018 presidential election nears, in particular by increasing funding of various protests.

“In general, we can forecast that as the presidential election gets nearer, the attempts to influence the situation in our country, to undermine stability from the inside, will not wane, but rather get stronger,” Sergey Ryabkov said at the Monday session of the Upper House commission for protection of Russian sovereignty.

“We cannot exclude that a part of the funds allocated under the new laws will be spent for stimulating protest activities in our country,” he added.

The foreign ministry is closely following this process, together with other executive power agencies,” the senior Russian diplomat was quoted as saying by Interfax. Ryabkov noted that it was already clear that US diplomats and specialists in Russian issues were attempting to influence the younger generation, students, and various academic circles.

Russian senators set up the Commission for Protection of National Sovereignty in mid-June this year. The main tasks of the body to monitor attempts by other nations to influence internal Russian politics and work on proposals to counter and prevent them.

Russian media reports that the idea to hold a dedicated session on preventing foreign interference in Russian politics was proposed after President Vladimir Putin’s meetings with the leaders of Germany and France. At the talks, Putin said that Russia has not meddled in the internal politics of other nations, but that its own internal situation remains the target of active outside interference.

In a speech, in which she called for the creation of the new commission, Upper House Speaker Valentina Matviyenko estimated the amount of money sent to Russia from abroad each year “not for charity and not for social or medical aid, but for political activities” at between 70 and 100 billion US dollars.

“As the presidential election approaches, it is possible that illegal protest activities will intensify, prepared by domestic opposition and foreign-based centers of influence. We have to increase control over the foreign sponsorship of the unlawful activities of destructive forces,” Matviyenko said.

Russian Prosecutor General Yury Chaika told senators that in the five years since Russia introduced a law requiring all organizations that receive sponsorship from abroad and participate in political activities to register as foreign agents, it has been revealed that about 500 NGOs received at least some funding from outside the country.
