Computer hacker’s demonstrate they can take control of vehicles
41chevy replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
Why is this bigger news than Hackers taking over the control launch and tracking computers for the NATO /German, Patriot Anti Missile Batteries in Turkey in July? Brief mention in the news and all is forgotten. German missiles 'hacked by foreign source' By Conor Gaffey 7/8/15 at 4:52 PM European News Week / Bohorden Spiegel Germany's President Joachim Gauck and his partner Daniela Schadt listen to commander of German troops in Turkey Colonel Stefan Drexter as they visit Patriot missile batteries in Kahramanmaras April 27, 2014.Osman Orsal/Reute A German missile system stationed on the Turkish-Syrian border was reportedly hacked by a "foreign source" and carried out "unexplained commands". The Patriot missiles, stationed on the Turkish side of the border under the Nato pact, were briefly taken over by an unidentified hacker, according to German civil service magazineBehörden Spiegel. The magazine does not give details about what these orders were or when they were carried out, but states hackers may have gained access to the missile system through an Asian manufactured computer chip which guides the missiles, or through an un encrypted, real-time information exchange which allows the missiles to communicate with their control system. Experts say that such a hack could lead to the battery failing to intercept incoming missiles or even firing at an unauthorised target. Patriot missiles have been in US army service since 1984 and were first used in operation in the 1991 Gulf War. Germany recently announced it would be spending several billion euros to replace its Patriot system with a next-generation missile system designed by the US and Italy, with the replacement due to be completed by 2035. The missile system has been stationed on the Syrian border for two years after Turkey asked its Nato partners for support in light of the Syrian civil war, which is still raging the other side of Turkey's border. The missiles are owned and operated by the Bundeswehr, the German army. According to Die Welt, the battery consists of six launchers and two radars. Ewan Lawson, a cybersecurity expert at defence think tank RUSI, says that hacks of NATO and US military missile systems are more common than realised but go unreported for security reasons. "This is also likely to have been a fortunate amateur hacker. If it has happened it would have been a focused effort on behalf of someone," says Lawson. He cites Russia, China, the US, the UK, Israel, IS and potentially Iran as the only nations with the capacities to infiltrate a stand-alone missile battery, but adds that the Patriot technology is old and needs to be updated. The media report suggests two possible reasons for infiltrating the system: to remotely operate the missiles or to steal sensitive data from the system. Caroline Baylon, cybersecurity research associate at Chatham House, says the results of such a hack could be catastrophic. "You could imagine the missile not launching in response to incoming missiles that it's supposed to defend against, you could imagine it launching at the wrong target," says Baylon. "Missile systems have the same vulnerabilities that exist in civilan infrastructure." -

Very nice!! The pre heat linkage, when I get back to Virginia an a month, I'll look at my 1934 AC 6 and see if it has it. If so,I'll take a few photos of it. -

This was in the newest BB-37 USS Oklahoma Society news letter. Makes you wonder THREE PRESIDENTS The people that are in Congress in Washington , tell us they can not deport 15 million illegal's? We probably need to send them back to school to learn history! We pay more to illegal's in welfare than it would cost to deport them! Our career politicians need to work for the voters and the good of the United States of America , not the lobbyist and big business. HOOVER, TRUMAN AND EISENHOWER Here is something that should be of great interest for you to pass around. I didn't know of this until it was pointed out to me. Back during The Great Depression, President Herbert Hoover ordered the deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American citizens that desperately needed work. Harry Truman deported over two million Illegal's after WWII to create jobs for returning veterans. And then again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million Mexican nationals! The program was called 'Operation Wetback' so that American WWII and Korean veterans had a better chance at jobs. It took 2 Years, but they deported them! Now, if they could deport the illegal's back then, they can sure do it today!! I lf you have doubts about the veracity of this information, enter Operation Wetback into your favorite search engine and confirm it for yourself. Reminder. Don't forget to pay your taxes... 15 million Illegal Aliens are depending on you.

I had to go to the local Social Security office, of the 60 or so people there 3 or 4 were American speaking elderly people. The rest were all Hispanic with children. The S.S. supplied interpreter help them get fast tracked for SS benefits. Than apparently they go to the Dept of Social Services for Food Stamps, Medicaid and Housing Assistance. Flyers posted in Spanish for Catholic Charities free cars and house hold goods for "immigrants" My person I talked to spoke English with such a Spanish accent I had to keep asking her to repeat it. Didn't even think I was in the U.S.A.

Why 2016 is America’s Last Chance to Return to Conservative Values Illegals Given Invitation Illegals have a purpose. Democrats aren’t interested in giving illegals the vote by ‘deserved’ amnesty. With the Republican takeover of the House and Senate, Democrats have found a way to win the presidential election in 2016. And whoever the Democrat winner is (likely Hillary), the sheer number of illegal votes will put her over the top in the election. It’s estimated if or when illegals vote, they will vote 80-20 for the Democrats. It turns out the Obama Administration Is Letting Illegals Disappear Into Society. It seems the real problem is not Mexican illegals, but Central American illegals. Tens of thousands of illegal immigrant women and children flooded across the border last year seeking asylum, claiming a “credible fear” of the violence in Central America. What violence? After a year of mass influx, data obtained by Fox News shows typical policy isn’t working. Illegals are continuing to cross the border in huge numbers. And strangely, the majority charged with crimes aren’t even showing up for court. “That strategy is obviously a complete failure because such a high percentage of these people who were not detained have simply melted into the larger illegal population and have no fear of immigration enforcement,” said Jessica Vaughan, Center for Immigration Studies. Muslem Syrians Not only that, but more than 3.5 million Syrians are registered with the UN as refugees, and they want to assign about 350,000 — 90 percent of which are Muslim — to America. Fourteen senators, led by Richard Durbin, D-Ill., Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., and Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., cite the research of Refugee Council USA to allow 65,000 Syrian illegals by the end of 2016. Michael Steinbach, assistant director of the FBI counter-terrorism unit, admitted reliable records are not available in a “failed state” like Syria. Rep. Michael McCaul [R-Tx], Chair of House Homeland Security Committee, says resettling Syrian refugees in the US is a “serious mistake” and should be stopped until safeguards are in place. McCaul after visiting Syrian refugee camps overseas, said even with “a lot of mothers and kids, there are [also] a lot of males of the age that could conduct terrorist operations.” The US has accepted more refugees than any other country by far. This year it committed to accept 70,000, with accepting as much as 200,000 in recent years. Also is the recent string of arrests of Somali refugees. Just last month six Somali young men were arrested when trying to leave the country to fight for ISIS. Illegal Entry Brings Criminals “We’ve had a bunch of people who have come in as refugees and committed terrorist acts, or tried to commit terrorist acts,” said Steven Camarota, Center for Immigration Studies. Some arrive as “children”, which is no guarantee against radicalization. Some are radicalized in American mosques after they grow into teens and young adults. That’s what happened to the Tsarnaev brothers, who planned the Boston Marathon bombing. They came as asylum seekers as young boys with their parents from war-torn Chechnya. “The younger brother, who just got convicted, was a young boy when he arrived with his family,” Camarota said. The parents of FrontPage Magazine Editor Jamie Glazov were Christians in Leonid Brezhnev’s Soviet Union. Their family fled in 1972 when Jamie was still young, and hoped they had left the USSR’s radical left-wing ideology behind forever. Glazov stated: Included in last year’s releases are more than 3,700 “Threat Level 1″ criminals who were freed despite being a top priority for deportation. How many Americans will be murdered or violently attacked by these criminal illegals released by the Obama administration last year? “For the sake of this leftist philosophy, Stalinism happened, Maoism happened, Khmer Rouge happened, and now the killing fields in the United Kingdom, where Muslim rape gangs are reading the Quran, reading the Hadith, which justify kidnapping and raping the [non-Muslim women], and they’re doing it… This is what is so frightening: When ISIS attacks, when Boko Haram attacks the little girls, when al-Qaida does what it’s doing, for some reason we have to go: ‘We’re sorry. We’re not racist. We’re not Islamophobic.” In 2013, ICE released 36,007 criminal illegals in the general populace. Along with drunken-driving charges, the released illegals were jailed for 16,226 new crimes, including 19 murders, 9,187 dangerous drug infractions, 426 sexual assaults, 303 kidnappings, 193 homicides, 1,317 domestic violence and 1,075 aggravated assault convictions.142 sex offenses, 1,420 drug crimes, 682 cases of burglary, and 48 firearms charges. All these crimes were confirmed by the Center for Immigration Studies. Election 2016 If the 2016 goes Democrat, illegals will rule the voting booth and a Democrat will be elected. Illegals will continue to flood in, vote without citizenship, and rule the U.S. of A. for years to come. Illegals get so many add-ons with residence here, they will never go back to their original country of residence. Because of outlaws, crime will spread throughout the country. America will go bankrupt. Shocking, but only one chance to break this agony. The 2016 elections are our only hope… Kevin Roeten can be reached at roetenks@charter.net.

Ford bets U.S. consumers will snap up $70,000 pickup trucks
41chevy replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
Depends on where you live I suppose. I just priced out the identical truck same to a Tee came out by this zip code at $32120 with the $3000 incentive When you add NYS tire disposal fee, tax and licensing $34564.05 No manual hubs or transfer case, no manual trans. My 1 year old Dogde spends more time at the dealer than with me. Doge has offerede my money or credit to a new truck, mean while my early 1988 Dodge D -150 60,000 miles (V-6 NP 4 speed hd cooling and charging system, PS, PB no AC, carpets, PW or even radio) earns it's keep every day 362 days a year. Better off just doing a paint job and going through the mechanicals and keep it. Be ahead about 20+ grand. -

41chevy replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
Just curious, do you think any automaker (aside from VW in Europe) realizes the market for a plain 1/2 or 3/4 ton pick up? Land Scapers, scrap metal pickers, contractors, vehicle repair and parts businesses, hardware and feed stores, snow plows, Frozen meat and fish vendors, and people who only need a basic truck. I see around here that every one of them buys an older basic truck. Ask them why, most times the don't want a dressed unit to crap up. -
Computer hacker’s demonstrate they can take control of vehicles
41chevy replied to kscarbel2's topic in Trucking News
No parallel parking, no 3 point turn, no entering and exiting a limited access highway and no need to read speak or understand English. Can't have none of that for the zero generation and illegals. They are told that's not needed. Wander out of your lane from texting? The car corrects you. Texting in traffic...Collision Avoidance will stop you from wrecking, to busy to check your mirrors to change lanes? The car will warn you before you wreck. No give the "driver" enough knowledge to get a CDL and in a semi if the new 18 year old law passes....with none of the "expected Safety Systems, Let the carnage begin! People don't spell or use punctuation because of spell check and text slang. Don't learn math because the computer will figure it out, learn hiistory? why? Watch a movie called Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter, that will show you his history in the U.S.A. . Want a real test of our education system? Go to a store and get a total of say $14.77 give the "associate" $20.03. Watch the confusion, followed by A) Panic, calling a manager for help or C) the best one giving you asking you to explain the "extra money". I own part of a Hobby Shop in Glen Head L.I. the point of sale system crashed yesterday, the adult working could not add the costs, figure 8.65% sales tax and if needed give change. Did not have any idea how to use a calculator, or count up change. Sad that this is our future a generation less educated than their parents. -
Hope you have a really great birthday
