A huge range of security weaknesses, said to be worth over $2m if sold on the black market, have been leaked online.

The tools are said to have been created by the US National Security Agency (NSA), and accompanying documents appear to indicate a possible breach of the Swift global banking system.

Such a hack could have enabled the US to covertly monitor financial transactions, researchers said.

The files were released by Shadow Brokers, a hacking group that has previously leaked malware.

If genuine, it represents perhaps the most significant exposure of NSA files since the Edward Snowden leaks in 2013.

__***N. Korea sends radio broadcast of new encrypted numbers ahead of key anniversary***__

*YONHAP*

North Korea on Friday sent a radio broadcast of a new combination of mysterious random numbers believed to be coded orders to its spies operating in South Korea, one day ahead of late state founder Kim Il-sung's 105th birthday, one of its key anniversaries.

The North's propaganda station Radio Pyongyang began broadcasting the messages at 1:15 a.m. (Seoul time), calling out a series of pages and numbers, such as No. 69 on page 823, No. 92 on page 467 and No. 100 on page 957, before repeating them one more time.

The radio announcer said, "(I'm) giving review works in elementary information technology lessons of the remote education university for No. 27 expedition agents."

The latest batch of numbers are different from those that have been aired to date. Pyongyang Radio last aired a broadcast of encrypted numbers Sunday.

It marked the 32nd time that Pyongyang has broadcast encrypted numbers since June 2016.

__***Le Pen criticizes Trump's new found NATO stance ***__

*(((CNN)))*

Far-right French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen criticized President Donald Trump Friday for his sudden embrace of NATO.
"Undeniably he is in contradiction with the commitments he had made," Le Pen said in an interview with France Info radio. "I am coherent, I don't change my mind in a few days. He had said he would not be the policeman of the world, that he would be the president of the United States and would not be the policeman of the world, but it seems today that he has changed his mind."

Her comments come just two days after Trump hosted NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the White House and declared that the military alliance is no longer outdated, which had been a frequent refrain of his during the 2016 campaign.

Le Pen, leader of The National Front, went on to say that while she does not know if Trump would continue to abandon his "America First" approach, she herself would stick to a France first approach if elected president.

"Will he persist, or is it a political coup which facilitates his domestic policy, I have absolutely no idea. But I am coherent in my analyses. When something favors France I say so, when it doesn't I say so too," she said.

__***New Data Depicts Global Demographic War Between Old Christians And Young Muslims***__

*THE FEDERALIST*

Pew Forum data projects Islam will surpass Christianity among adherents’ baby production within 20 years while increasing in conversions as Christian conversions decline.

Christianity is and has long been the world’s largest religious faith. Christians are also the most fertile of all religions overall. They like babies. Thirty-one percent of the world’s 7.3 billion people currently identify as Christians. Muslims represent nearly a quarter. All other religions are significantly lower.

While Christianity is expected to continue to grow at a small rate, Islam is projected to make greater gains, coming within a decimal point by 2060. They are expected to surpass Christianity in baby-making work by 2035.

In the last five years, 33 percent of the world’s babies were born to Christians and 31 percent were born to Muslims. By 2060, this fertility score will be 35 to 36 percent in favor of the Muslims. It will decline from 16 to 13 percent for those with no faith.

This is all driven by a current fertility rate for Muslims of 2.9 children per women over Christianity’s 2.6. Religiously unaffiliated women have a birth rate of 1.6 children, below replacement level of 2.1. This number is unlikely to increase.

Vice President Mike Pence will spend the Easter holiday weekend visiting with leaders in South Korea.

On Sunday, Pence will visit the Seoul National Cemetery before attending an evening Easter church service with U.S. and Korean service members, their family and local residents at the Yongsan Garrison Army Base. Pence is also scheduled to have dinner with the group at the base.

While North Korea is warning of a "big event" in the near future — possibly by the weekend — Pentagon officials have mobilized resources to hit back.

The U.S. said this week that it is well-prepared to respond with military action to any hostile behavior or serious threat from North Korea, including launching missiles at the nation's nuclear test site, U.S. intelligence officials said Thursday evening according to a report.

China, suddenly aware that their client state North Korea is out of control, has warned the North Korean regime that if it conducts its imminent nuclear test China will hit the regime with further sanctions.

Chinese imports of coal dropped 51.6 percent in the first three months of 2017 compared with the first quarter of last year, according to Huang Songping, a spokesman for the Chinese customs agency. The Chinese money paid to North Korea for its coal, roughly one billion dollars annually, has helped fund North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

Beijing imposed a cutoff on Feb. 19, ostensibly in response to the February killing in Malaysia of Kim Jong-nam, the estranged half brother of North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un.

On Friday, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, told reporters in Beijing that China was calling on “all the parties, no matter verbally or in action, to stop provoking and threatening each other and not to allow the situation to become irretrievable and out of control.”

Mayor de Blasio deprecated the Charging Bull sculpture in Lower Manhattan on Friday as a “celebration of unfettered capitalism” — while defending the Fearless Girl statue in front of the bull for “standing up to injustice.”

The mayor made the comment on his weekly WNYC radio show, where he also vowed that the city would fight a lawsuit by the creator of Charging Bull to get rid of Fearless Girl.

The 4-foot “Fearless Girl” — installed for International Woman’s Day — initially had a temporary permit to stand opposite the bull.

But de Blasio extended it another 11 months at the request of women’s groups.

De Blasio said it would be a “mistake” for the frail 76-year-old artist to sue and that the city “will fight him legally.”

*BLOOMBERG*

President Donald Trump will speak at the National Rifle Association’s annual convention on April 28, becoming the first U.S. president to address the gun-rights group since Ronald Reagan in 1983.

“The NRA is honored to have the president address our annual meeting at the leadership forum,” said Jennifer Baker, a spokeswoman for the NRA. “We’re excited to once again have a president who respects the Second Amendment.”

The NRA endorsed Trump’s bid for president last May, after the then-candidate addressed the group’s annual forum in Louisville, Kentucky. Trump pledged at the time to “save our Second Amendment” and appoint judges which would support expansive gun rights.

The visit is scheduled for April 28, the last day of government funding under the current spending bill. If Congress doesn’t pass a new spending measure by that day, the government faces a partial shutdown.

Microsoft tries to thread the needle of transparency by telling its consuming audience as much about governmental collection of data as possible. Toward that end Microsoft releases a biannual transparency report.

Within the latest transparency release Microsoft reports in the first half of 2016 they received a massive increase in FISA orders; primarily from U.S. governmental agencies.

• *“For the latest Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) data reported,
Microsoft received 1,000-1,499 FISA orders seeking content disclosures
affecting 12,000-12,499 accounts, compared to the 0-499 FISA orders
seeking disclosure of content impacting 17,500-17,999 accounts reported
for the previous period.*

*We received 0-499 National Security Letters in the latest reporting period,
which remains unchanged from the previous period.”*

However, simultaneous to the increase in the number of FISA orders, the requests were on fewer accounts. So FISA using agencies were seeking more total data but on a smaller number of accounts.

The [Welsley College newspaper editorial] is a jumble of incoherence that should theoretically humiliate the "elite" all-female institution that (a) admitted these students, and (b) cultivated this sort of thinking. A taste:

Wellesley is certainly not a place for racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, transphobia or any other type of discriminatory speech. **Shutting down rhetoric that undermines the existence and rights of others is not a violation of free speech; it is hate speech.**

**We have all said problematic claims**, the origins of which were ingrained in us by our discriminatory and biased society. Luckily, most of us have been taught by our peers and mentors at Wellesley in a productive way.

While it is expected that these lessons will be difficult and often personal, holding difficult conversations for the sake of educating is very different from shaming on the basis of ignorance. This being said, **if people are given the resources to learn and either continue to speak hate speech or refuse to adapt their beliefs, then hostility may be warranted.**

A closer look at photos from the town of Khan Shaykhun shows that the chemical attack site was tampered with and that the US report blaming the Syrian government can’t be true, says the MIT professor skeptical of the White House narrative.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor Theodore Postol, who wrote a preliminary review of the US government claims earlier this week and shared his findings with RT, examined photographs of the attack site and concluded that the report endorsed by the White House “could not be true.”

Senior US administration officials who briefed the media on Tuesday admitted the White House intelligence was partly “based on the pro-opposition social media reporting,” which “tells a very clear and consistent story about what we think happened.”

Postol’s six-page addendum, made public on Thursday evening, “unambiguously shows that the assumption in the [White House report] that there was no tampering with the alleged site of the sarin release is not correct.”

In late March, Canada’s federal government decisively passed a controversial Liberal-backed motion “condemning Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination.”

This motion, coined M-103, purports to “quell the increasing climate of hate and fear” in the country, yet neglects to define the broad terminology behind this supposed hatred. Nonetheless, the House of Commons approved M-103 by a staggering 201 votes against an opposition’s measly 91.

Left-leaning publications Huff Post and Vice predictably dismissed this resemblance to theocratic blasphemy laws as a right-wing “attack” and “conspiracy theory” on the motion, emphasizing that M-103 is not a bill and bears no relationship to blasphemy laws or any form of Sharia.

Canadians must heed the late Christopher Hitchens warning on Islamification: “resist it while you can”. The now-passed motion of M-103 represents yet another example of the political correctness and national cuckoldry capturing the once-Great White North.

A new report shows that the number of illegal immigrants caught crossing the border has dropped by a stunning 93 percent since December.

According to new numbers provided by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), around 16,000 people were apprehended illegally crossing the border in December, but only a little more than 1,100 were caught in March.

DHS is crediting President Donald Trump's harsher immigration policies as the primary cause of the significant slow-down in illegal crossings. However, Reuters points to the "threat of new policies" that may be implemented in the future as the main factor for the decline in illegal border crossings; mainly the possibility that mothers could be separated from their children.

Japan has okayed using Mein Kampf, Hitler’s autobiography and Nazi manifesto, in schools for educational purposes just weeks after the similarly controversial Imperial Rescript on Education was approved as “teaching material,” according to media reports.

Although the Japanese government approved Hitler’s infamous book as “teaching material” for schools on Friday, using it to promote racial hatred will lead to a strict response from regulators, according to the Japan Times report.

The decision came weeks after the controversial Imperial Rescript on Education in schools was approved for the same purposes.

According to many historians, the Rescript, which focuses on patriotism and loyalty to the Japanese Emperor, was one of the primary sources promoting obedience and moral certitude that helped militarism to grow in Japan.

***Report: Trump reelection effort raised $13.2 million so far in 2017***
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/04/15/report-trump-reelection-effort-raised-13-2-million-so-far-in-2017.html

President Trump’s reelection campaign has already raised $13.2 million this year, according to federal records filed Friday night and obtained by Politico.

The amount was collected by three committees -- Donald J. Trump for President, Trump Victory and Trump Make America Great Again Committee. And roughly 80 percent of the money was raised through small, online donations.

The Republican National Committee confirmed earlier this month that it had raised $41.3 million over the same period. But as of early Saturday, the group had yet to file a report with the Federal Elections Committee.

The group also says much of the money came from the same small-amount, online donors who helped Trump become president and that the effort brought in tens of thousands of new donors.

According to Politico, the FEC report for the three Trump committees suggested much of the money came from merchandise sold during Trump’s inauguration and early presidency, considering they spent roughly $4.7 million on hats, T-shirts, mugs and stickers.

The committees collectively spent at least $2.7 million on fundraising and other activities including $1.6 million to the web design and digital media company run by Trump campaign digital director Brad Parscale.

The committees reported roughly $16 million in the bank at the end of March.

A computer error might cost Marine Le Pen the French general election as 500,000 citizens living outside of France have the chance to vote twice.

There are astounding reports indicating that half a million people managed to receive duplicate polling cards. The duplicates would allow them to cast two votes in the first round of the election which will be held on the 23rd of April.

The incident will not be investigated by French authorities until the election is over. The authorities confirmed that they would not be investigating the potential electoral fraud so as to allow retrospective prosecution.

The decision by French authorities is likely to crush Ms. Le Pen’s dreams of rising to power, as most French nationals living outside of their country are not right-wing. This was demonstrated by the fact many feel they depend on the European Union to guarantee their stay in foreign countries.

Afghan locals and children were left surveying the devastating aftermath caused by the 'Mother of all Bombs' in the village of Shadal bazar on Saturday, two days after America dropped the largest non-nuclear weapon ever used in combat by the U.S. military.

The death toll of the attack on Afghanistan rose to 94 ISIS members icluding four terrorist leaders, an Afghan official said.

Ataullah Khogyani, spokesman for the provincial governor in Nangarhar, said the number of Islamic State group dead was up from the 36 reported a day earlier and that no civilians were reported dead in the bombing.

A Ministry of Defense official said on Friday that the number of dead could rise as officials assessed the bomb site in Achin district.

*
Hundreds of pro-Trump demonstrators and counter-protesters clashed Saturday at a “Patriots Day” rally in Berkeley, the third time the two groups engaged in violent confrontations on city streets in recent months.

Fist fights broke out among members of both groups on the streets around Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park, where pro-Trump supporters had scheduled a rally. Some media reports said at least a dozen people were arrested.

Stewart Rhodes, founder of the citizen militia group known as the Oath Keepers, came from Montana with about 50 people wearing security gear to protect the Trump supporters. They were joined by bikers and others who vowed to fight members of an anti-fascist group if they crossed police barricades.

"I don't mind hitting” the counter-demonstrators, whom he called “neo-Nazis," Rhodes said. "In fact, I would kind of enjoy it."

But Rhodes credited Berkeley police for new tactics that kept the two sides apart and "our side chilled and relaxed," though sporadic fights broke out among both groups throughout the morning and afternoon.*

Trump Replaces Hiring Freeze With Reinvention Push***__
*https://goo.gl/knfdbU*
*REAL CLEAR POLITICS*

The January prohibition on new hiring is replaced Wednesday with what Office of Management and Budget Direct Mick Mulvaney called a “smarter plan” that the administration hopes will complement Trump’s budget priorities and lead to a redrawing of the executive branch from the ground up.

The budget director said the White House is months away from proposing a legislative overhaul to Congress, but will build recommendations into the fiscal year 2019 budget submission, following extensive public comment and input from lawmakers.

In a lengthy OMB memo distributed Wednesday to heads of departments and agencies, Mulvaney said supervisors are tasked to send the White House plans to “maximize employee performance” and adhere to Trump’s spending reductions, including “long-term workforce reductions,” by June 30. Those preliminary plans must be refined by September.

Mulvaney acknowledged that previous presidents, including Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, also attempted to trim the federal bureaucracy and restructure the executive branch, with mixed results.

Trump’s effort is pegged to his March 13 executive order that instructed agencies and departments to send OMB reinvention plans with the goal of achieving a federal government that is “more accountable, more efficient, and more effective.”

He added it was conceivable that Poland could be flooded with migrants in the near future, newspaper Dziennik Gazeta Prawna reports. Błaszczak noted that “such camps are, for example, in Germany”. He cited German Chancellor Angela Merkel who said there were too many asylum seekers in cities. “In this regard, they are politely arguing that they wish to move them to the countryside,” the interior minister said.

He noted the recent fire at the Grande-Synthe migrant camp in Dunkirk as a reason to have gestapo present at migrant camps

A Green Party candidate in the British Columbia provincial election says his impersonation of Martin Luther King, Jr. was a consequence of his own “white privilege” and “a misguided attempt to share the inspiration” of the American civil rights leader.

“I went to the mountaintop, y’all,” Neufeld said. “And I looked over – my, my. My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Greens!”

Members of the audience looked around at each in disbelief as Neufeld continued to lift portions of King’s famous speech. “I’m not fearing any man,” Neufeld said as some people walked out, afterwards telling reporters that it was objectionable for the Green candidate to compare his political campaign with the civil rights legacy of King.

...

“In a misguided attempt to share the inspiration of one of the greatest leaders of our time, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I made one of the greatest mistakes of my life. I was excited by the crowd, but I was wrong to do what I did. I take responsibility for my actions and I am very sorry,” he wrote.

In the press release, the NNSA said that the “non-nuclear assembly test” was dropped from an F-16 based at Nellis Air Force Base and was intended to evaluate “both the weapon’s non-nuclear functions as well as the aircraft’s capability to deliver the weapon.”

The B61-12 consolidates and replaces four B61 bomb variants in the nation’s nuclear arsenal. The first production unit is scheduled to be completed by March 2020.

The ‘Mother of All Bombs’ was dropped on ISIS territory yesterday, though the Nangarhar Province of Afghanistan already had quite the history in America’s Middle Eastern campaign. Not the least interesting part about this is that the tunnel system held by the Islamic State was possibly built out by CIA.

The 2005 article from the New York Times reports about how Bin Laden worked alongside the CIA to liberate Afghanistan from occupation by the Soviet Union during the 1980’s. The base in Tora Bora was described as “part of a C.I.A.-financed complex built for the mujahadeen,” and Bin Laden made further improvements to it when he turned the complex into the hideaway where he was engaged by special forces.

Back in 2001, the Battle of Tora Bora was fought there when American forces launched one of their first efforts to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden.

The al Qaeda leader was hiding out in the region at the time, and yesterday, Wikileaks put out a tweet about why that was the case:

*https://goo.gl/1v9OVN*
*THE INDEPENDENT*

The official investigation into relations between Donald Trump and Russia now has "specific, concrete and corroborative evidence of collusion", it has been reported.

New evidence proves discussions took place “between people in the Trump campaign and agents of [Russian] influence relating to the use of hacked material,” a source allegedly told the Guardian.

The developments come as it has emerged that Britain’s spy agencies were among the first to alert their American counterparts to contact between members of Mr Trump’s campaign team and Russian intelligence operatives.

Over several months, different agencies targeting the same people began to see a pattern in communications between the Republican's inner circle and Russian operatives. For six months, until summer 2016, these interactions were repeatedly flagged to intelligence officials in the US, who sources have said were slow to act.

GCHQ's involvement in the investigation is controversial, with Mr Trump's press secretary, Sean Spicer, having previously accused the "British spying agency" of bugging Trump Tower on behalf of Barack Obama. Mr Spicer cited an unsubstantiated report on Fox News, from which the television station later distanced itself.

__***The Last Country America "Liberated" From An "Evil" Dictator Is Now Openly Trading Slaves***__
*https://goo.gl/51MFW2*
*ZERO HEDGE*

It is widely known that the U.S.-led NATO intervention to topple Libya’s Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 resulted in a power vacuum that has allowed terror groups like ISIS to gain a foothold in the country.

This week, new findings revealed another unintended consequence of “humanitarian intervention”: the growth of the human slave trade.

According to Livia Manente, an IOM officer who interviews survivors, “their driver suddenly said middlemen had not passed on his fees and put his passengers up for sale.”

“Several other migrants confirmed his story, independently describing kinds of slave markets as well as kinds of private prisons all over in Libya,” she said, adding IOM Italy had confirmed similar stories from migrants landing in southern Italy.

“If the number of migrants goes down, because of death or someone is ransomed, the kidnappers just go to the market and buy one,” Manente said.

As Libya, once a beacon of stability in the region, continues to devolve in the fallout from the Western “humanitarian” intervention – and as human beings are dragged into emerging slave trades while rapes and kidnappings plague the population - it is increasingly obvious that further war will only create even further suffering in unforeseen ways.

__***Hive***__

*14 April, 2017
Today, April 14th 2017, WikiLeaks publishes six documents from the CIA's HIVE project created by its "Embedded Development Branch" (EDB).

HIVE is a back-end infrastructure malware with a public-facing HTTPS interface which is used by CIA implants to transfer exfiltrated information from target machines to the CIA and to receive commands from its operators to execute specific tasks on the targets. HIVE is used across multiple malware implants and CIA operations. The public HTTPS interface utilizes unsuspicious-looking cover domains to hide its presence.

Anti-Virus companies and forensic experts have noticed that some possible state-actor malware used such kind of back-end infrastructure by analyzing the communication behaviour of these specific implants, but were unable to attribute the back-end (and therefore the implant itself) to operations run by the CIA. In a recent blog post by Symantec, that was able to attribute the "Longhorn" activities to the CIA based on the Vault 7, such back-end infrastructure is described:

For C&C servers, Longhorn typically configures a specific domain and IP address combination per target. The domains appear to be registered by the attackers; however they use privacy services to hide their real identity. The IP addresses are typically owned by legitimate companies offering virtual private server (VPS) or webhosting services. The malware communicates with C&C servers over HTTPS using a custom underlying cryptographic protocol to protect communications from identification.
The documents from this publication might further enable anti-malware researchers and forensic experts to analyse this kind of communication between malware implants and back-end servers used in previous illegal activities.*

__*** US F-35 fighter jets arrive in Europe for the first time ***__

A fleet of F-35 stealth fighter jets has arrived in Europe from the United States as part of a planned NATO exercise aimed at “deterring” Russia.

The F-35A Lightning II jets landed at Royal Air Force Base in Lakenheath, England Saturday, having made the journey from Hill Air Force Base, Utah.

“This is an incredible opportunity for [US Air Forces in Europe] airmen and our NATO allies to host this first overseas training deployment of the F-35A aircraft,” said Air Force General Tod D. Wolters.

“As we and our joint F-35 partners bring this aircraft into our inventories, it’s important that we train together to integrate into a seamless team capable of defending the sovereignty of allied nations.

The deployment will last several weeks and is part of the European Reassurance Initiative, a US build-up of troops and weapons in Europe launched in 2014 to “deter Russian aggression.”

*THE DAILY BEAST*

Several suspects have been arrested in the brutal killing of a Pakistani student beaten to death Thursday over accusations he’d shared “blasphemous” content on social media.

The student, identified as Mashal Khan, was stripped naked by a lynch mob of fellow students at Abdul Wali Khan University and beaten with planks in an attack that was caught on video.

Mardan's Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police Mohammad Alam Shinwari said Saturday Khan’s attackers had been preparing to burn his body when police intervened.

Video shows about 10 students shouting “Allahu Akbar!” as they attacked Khan, who was also reportedly shot and thrown from the second floor of his hostel during the attack. The suspects face charges of murder and terrorism.

__***(((Mike Cernovich))) Threatens Sexual Blackmail if Steve Bannon is Fired: ‘I Know Everything’***__

*MEDIAITE*

That was the none too veiled warning online provocateur Mike Cernovich had for the White House, Thursday, if President Donald Trump decides to pull the trigger and fire his chief strategist Steve Bannon.

“If they get rid of Bannon, you know what’s gonna happen? The motherlode. If Bannon is removed, there are gonna be divorces, because I know about the mistresses, the sugar babies, the drugs, the pill popping, the orgies. I know everything,” he said. “If they go after Bannon, the mother of all stories is gonna drop, and we’re just gonna destroy marriages, relationships—it’s gonna get personal.”

Cernovich made the claims on Periscope, one of his preferred mediums, but they received wide mainstream attention after a Daily Beast report from Ben Collins Friday afternoon.

“Fake news people are claiming that I threatened the Trump administration because I said I would release damaging information about Deep State,” he said. “I would never threaten anyone in the Trump family, legally or otherwise.”

Voting is under way in Turkey in a landmark referendum that will determine whether President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will be granted sweeping new powers.

Mr Erdogan's supporters say replacing the parliamentary system with an executive presidency would modernise the country, but opponents fear it could lead to greater authoritarianism.

A "Yes" vote could also see Mr Erdogan remain in office until 2029.

There have been reports of gunfire at a polling station in Turkey's south-east.

Two people were killed and one wounded in the incident in Diyarbakir province, the Hurriyet daily reports, saying the violence was sparked by "differing political views".

About 55 million people are eligible to vote across 167,000 polling stations, with the results expected to be announced late on Sunday evening.

Opinion polls suggest a narrow lead for "Yes".
