Re: WikiLeaks
CIA is, and always has been, a rogue agency that doesn't answer to their civilian authority. It has caused, or been made to cause the majority of international problems we face in the world today.
Yet it's still here.

Saw a documentary about JFK scaling back the CIA in a big way back in 60's, it caused a lot of deep upset within, but then we all know what happened next to JFK...... Coincidence?

Re: WikiLeaks
I get that it's no surprise they're doing stuff like this, but it can't be just shrugged off like it isn't a problem, they're not the NSA, these are dangerous people that will utilize things like these for dangerous things.

The pace of technological change is such that's increasingly difficult to predict where all this will end up in terms of its uses (good and not so good) and wider effects on our society.

It may be a problem depending where you stand on the importance of a security service such as MI6 or the CIA but as long as you do have one this should be seen as their bread and butter.
What about this is scandalous? The CIA's job is to gather intelligence covertly.

What part of controlling vehicles is used to gather information? I'm fairly confident that's part of undetectable assassinations. Quite frankly, with the exploitation of Windows they could literally create the largest botnet on the planet, although they're probably a step ahead.
Believing the CIA would actually use any of this to just gather intelligence is naive, it'll be used to blackmail, kill and anything that fits their own agenda. That's the CIA way and that's the way it's always been.
Can't even fathom that an organization responsible for plotting terror attacks on domestic soil, very likely participating in Operation Gladio and committing terror attacks and torturing it's own citizens would be merely gathering information for the 'protection of the US'
The NSA done this and it was scandalous. However, they tend not to kill people whenever it suits them.

Spot on; Revelation 13:17.
I think a possible scenario, in the future, is that micro chipping will be forced on everyone, and it will be used as a database to implement the mark of the Beast.

Re: WikiLeaks
Excellent timing for the release of this news - swept everything else off the front pages....

No. I got that. However that seems a general comment on the CIA rather than this specific release of documents.
I think Assange and the conspiracy-wing of the internet have let themselves run away with this 'Vault 7' hype when the substance is mundane. All they've really done is embarrassed the CIA but obtained the material but that material isn't evidence of anything especially nefarious. It's not even the deployment of these exploits but the investigation of those exploits.

None but it's an obvious security issue. The CIA will want to learn how to do it. Yes maybe they'll use it for covert assassinations too. They are the CIA. Although I suspect this exploit is overblown too because there is no mass provider or platform for self-driving cars so the question would be what they've actually broke into here.

I wonder if it's a case of matching collars and cuffs? Bit of a scary thought!
