Et Tu, Brutus? Oracle Database on the Way Out

i read “NoSQL to Undo Oracle’s Database Reign.” The author is a person who once worked at Oracle. Like Brutus, the author knows Julius Caesar. Sorry, I meant the jet loving, top dog at Oracle.

The tussle between Oracle and MarkLogic seems likely to continue in 2017. The write up explains that Oracle has become a lot like IBM. I learned:  read full post.

Amazon Kindle: The Soft Coup Collapses – Blackmail Revealed – What Next?: CIA was bluffing, produced no evidence – Russians did not “hack” the election. Is this the beginning of the end of the Deep State in the USA? Can Trump clean house & wage peace? (Trump Revolution Book 06)

Aided by enormous restraint on the part of Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, the soft coup in the USA has collapsed.

Not only has the US Intelligence Community (US IC) lost all semblance of credibility with incoming President Donald Trump, but the blackmail by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham has been revealed by investigative journalist Wayne Madsen.

This six page document provides a scathing critique of the fourteen page US secret intelligence community report, Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections, across five fronts.

The document concludes that if Donald Trump does not lose his nerve (he is surrounded by Establishment advisors), the implosion of the false flag claims by CIA — and the fake news from CNN and the NYT — could be the first step in gaining public support for taking down the Deep State.

Ahmet Yayla: Assassination in Turkey – A Few Thoughts

09 Terrorism, IO Deeds of War
Ahmet Sait Yayla

Anxiety in Ankara: Assassination, Geopolitics, and Democracy in Turkey

The assassination itself still has many unanswered questions: was the assassin acting alone or on someone’s behalf or with the assistance of others; why did Turkish intelligence and law enforcement forces not provide sufficient security for the ambassador; what was the motive behind the attack and why was the assassin killed rather than captured? Additionally, a Turkish judge issued a media ban on the attack, making it more difficult to understand and reveal facts about the assassination. In order to inform the international community and reduce the chances of such an attack happening against other diplomatic dignitaries in Turkey, the Turkish government needs to be transparent about the findings of the investigation, demonstrating it has solid, objective evidence provided in a timely manner.

DefDog: FBI Hacked Again… UPDATE Neal Rauhauser

FBI Hacked, Again! Hacker Leaks Data After Agency Failed to Patch Its Site

CyberZeist had initially exposed the flaw on 22 December, giving the FBI time to patch the vulnerability in its website's code before making the data public. The hacker exploited a zero-day vulnerability in the Plone CMS, an Open Source Content Management software used by FBI to host its website, and leaked personal data of 155 FBI officials to Pastebin, including their names, passwords, and email accounts.

UPDATE

Neal Rauhauser

The FBI site intrusion involving the Plone CMS is both funny and alarming in equal measure. Such sites contain the public facing information of the agency and a few hundred accounts of the people involved in its updating. I'm former Infragard, from what I know of the FBI they are very strict about password discipline, and the intruder got nothing more than a roster of agency employees who do PR.

The hit on fbi.gov is the equivalent of the scene in Eight Mile where Eminem's character tags a police cruiser with a paintball gun. If you're old enough to dislike rap and haven't seen it, think of Joe Medicine Crow singing his honor song while riding away with the Schutzstaffel battalion's horses.
The bigger issue is the effect this has on those using Plone to power their web sites. Plone and industry leader WordPress were both created in 2003. During that time WordPress had 934 entries in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database. Plone had just 62. The tool corporations trust as the foundation for providing customer health care and financial data has a deadly flaw, and the Plone team has not yet identified it, much less repaired it.

Best line = ZERO proof:

“Judgments are not intended to imply that we have proof that shows something to be a fact. Assessments are based on collected information, which is often incomplete or fragmentary, as well as logic, argumentation, and precedents.”

We do not make this stuff up. The DNI just committed suicide.

Final appraisal: Trump right, IC wrong, 5 strikes itemized below. Only 3 agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA) signed this report, not “all seventeen.” DHS notable for its absence.
