Marine One security breach

Nibble Pics of Obama's chopper sent to Iran
Monday, 2 March 2009, 15:23

ChopeerA SECURITY COMPANY that monitors peer-to-peer file-sharing networks has found a security breach involving President Obama's helicopter, Marine One.

According to Fox News, sensitive information about Marine One was found by Tiversa employees at an IP address in Tehran, Iran.

Blueprints for Marine One and financial information about the cost of the helicopter were found on a file.

Not only that, they know where the information came from and who accidently shared it. The person is likely to lose their job or at least feel very, very silly. µ

Tempest in a teapot

You can see the chopper on TV. Last week there were news stories on CNN and in the Guardian about Obama's comments wrt a new chopper, and the model etc of the new and old were given.

What's the big deal? Could this be a bit of scaremongering by people who don't like Iran?

More brainwashing for the Great Unwashed...

So, who's fault is it? Certainly not Iran's. The Japanese and The British both have large networks of spies in the United States but no one seems to be too upset about it.

Someone leaked the information (intentional?) and it's not much information by any one's standards.

Just mention the words "secret" and "Iran" and all the reality show watching, trailer park dwelling, Americans think whatever problems America causes in the Middle East is justified.

Never underestimate Human Stupidity particularly when it has a Texas accent.

BHO in danger?!?

OMG! We have to DO something about this, I mean, the Anointed One himself might possibly be in harm. God forbid if he even chips his fingernail over this.

We MUST nuke Iran, vaporize it, remove them all from the face of the earth. The future of our children DEMANDS we protect the Anointed One from any possible harm.

And why we're at it, let's get rid of the Republicans. They've actually had the temerity to say that the Anointed One might not be perfect!

Names

Why isn’t the White House called “Residence One”? And his limo could be “Horseless Carriage One”. The Oval Office could become “Office One”, and the en-suite “Bog One”...

USA vs *.*

Yeah, I think USA should attack Iran and then Kuwait (just to be sure) and then Egypt (they might hide W.O.M.D in the pyramids) and then rest of Africa and then the world for some stupid reason.....

I bet you if you go to google and search for "Marine One Specs" you will find specs on the chopper on some site

@non USA peeps

I have to share with ya'alls, just because the faux or was that fox (and others), news reports stupid and misleading things doesn't mean we believe it or like it. We know most big news companies are full of shi'' er, propaganda, and don't buy into it no matter how much they try and make it look like we do. We have the same internet, and anyone that cares about a subject (pollution/politics/other) does their own research and does not fall for the lies. At least not me or the people I know. Yes American media is full of crap, we do know it, and laugh at it. If you want to know what we think, talk to us, don't watch the trash they tell us.
Thank you, you may now go back to your beer.

An attempt at brainwashing the american people again

In a situation of crime and security, it is usually good to follow the money while starting an investigation, Who gets to gain from the leaking of the Marine One specs.

1. Does Iran get to gain security advantage by having the specs of Marine One leaked.

2. Does someone else get to gain "another" type of advantage by having the specs of Marine One leaked.

Answer:
-------

...its easy to kill a dog by first giving it a bad name....

First and foremost,

At face value one would think that its true, that Iran was trying to obtain and utilise the security and design details of Marine One. On one hand one can deduce that Iran is trying to gain military leaverage by obtaining the military specs of Marine One.
Yet on the other hand, one starts to smell a rat when you realise the following:

1. it is not in the interest of Iran's military ambition to bring about increased suspicion upon itself, attempting to get the details of the Marine One in itself would have been a stupid step at keeping under the radar.

2. The military industrial complex benefits financially whenever there is a war, security threat or rumour of war, hence the detail of the Marine One could easily have been planted in a way the would make the public perceive Iran as an iminent security threat to the President of the United States. Remember all evidences and investigations point to the fact that Neo-cons deceived Americans into going into a War with Iraq and Afghanistan by planting the false information that Taliban and Saddam had something to do with the 911 attack, despite the fact that evidences point to the contrary.

3. Neo-conservatives are a branch of the New World Order hence it is no suprise a lot of Geo-political Manipulation of the World and the America citizens is being done in other to bring about an establishment of their goals and plans through fear mongering.

4. Neo-conservatives are looking for every possible reason to go make the US go to war with Iran.

5. Military Industrial complex gains financial benefits from the security fall out of having to protect the president from a new security loophole that has been created as a result of the leaked security details of Marine One.

6. The President just recently scrapped the recent development of a "New Presidential Helicopter" (an undesirable loss of money to those who have already invested in the project), hence it is in the interest of those private investors if the President can be forced to continue the development and procurement of a new generation of Presidential Helicopters by making sure that the current Presidential Helicopter i.e. Marine One becomes a security risk by leaking its details to the visible perceived threat to the US (i.e. Iran in this case).

7. Iran is not really as sophisticated as Neo-Cons would want everyone to believe.

8. Marine One specifications could easily have been leaked to the Irans as a bait through which Neo-Cons would then have a reason to call Iran a security threat such that it would thus be easier to drum up support for a reason to attack Iran.

9. Linking the leaked details of Marine One to the Iranians is a good way for Neo-Cons to manipulate the American public into thinking that Iran poses a domestic and foreign security threat to the US, because they end up manipulating the public into thinking that Iran has developed the capability to strike at the Marine One Presidential Helicopter.

I hope the American public would resist being duped into allowing US to wage a military campaign against Iran and I hope the US would resist allowing the Military Industrial complex to manipulate the people into continue to fund programs the continue to enrich the Elites and Neo-cons while impoverishing the general public.

Secondly, everyone needs to realise that just P2P networks do not share information by itself, rather it is people that use P2P networks to share information. information being shared via P2P networks can both be good and bad, however that does not warrant labelling P2P networks as completely evil in itself. Also it is an open secret that Neo-cons and the New World Order have being doing everything possible to restrict the freedom of the internet and the American people, hence it is easy for them to also use the case of the leaked Marine One details to further introduce measures that further restrict the freedom of information and freedome of the internet.

Hence i also hope the american people would also resist this attempt at introducing further laws and controls that would ultimately further restrict the freedom of the american people.
