FBI Investigates Spying Tool, Discovers FBI Use.

An inquiry by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) into a government contractor using Israeli spy software to monitor U.S. citizens has discovered it was doing so on behalf of the FBI itself.

Reporters discovered that Landmark spy software developed by Israel’s NSO Group, blacklisted by the Joe Biden government as a national security threat in 2021, had been purchased and deployed by government contractor Riva Networks later the same year.

It now transpires that one of Riva Networks’ clients was the FBI.

Like the White House, the FBI claims it had no clue the contractor was using Landmark to geolocate U.S. citizens in Mexico without their consent, and Director Christopher Wray has cancelled the contract. Yet reporters seeking more information about the secretive nature of the bureau’s dealings with Riva Networks are now being stonewalled.

Government lawyers responding to efforts by The New York Times to sue to the FBI for “documents related to the bureau’s purchase of NSO tools and… documents about the bureau’s relationship with Riva Networks” have told the courts the FBI’s relationship with the contractor should be protected from scrutiny, because they “either already do, or may in the future, offer other products… used for investigative purposes.”

Thousands of non-suspecting people are falling for fake, artificial intelligence (AI)-generated girls posting provocative photos online, with many ‘virtual influencers’ amassing hundreds of thousands of followers and subscribers.

One “girl” called Milla Sofia claims to be a “virtual influencer and fashion model” from Finland and is followed by over 50,000 people on Instagram, 100,000 people on TikTok, and just under 15,000 people on Twitter. Her profile states, “whether it’s the catwalk or the digital landscape, my passion lies in showcasing the latest trends and pushing the boundaries in the ever-evolving fashion industry.”

The profile does not hide the fact she is an “AI creation” but appears so lifelike that most people following her across various social media platforms are yet to realize that she doesn’t exist. Comments on her post from men regularly read: “You are so irresistible whatever colour that you are wearing Divine Millia Sofia,” or “You look marvellous, amazing pretty, beautiful, gorgeous, stunning and breathtaking.”

The rise of virtual influencers serves as a “puzzling new turn in the road to AI content,” states Victor Tangermann from Futurism, adding, “If we follow human influencers for a parasocial taste of a glamorous lifestyle, why would we follow a bot instead?”

AI is developing an increasingly dominant grip on society despite its recent introduction. The technology is being used, among other things, to lure Russian soldiers into giving strategic information to the Ukrainian army and comedians who admit to being “out of ideas.”

MSNBC is using the death of Beau Biden, Joe Biden’s eldest son, to excuse the President’s participation in his son Hunter’s business dealings with Ukrainian oligarchs and other foreigners. The far-left cable network suggests the senior Biden wasn’t thinking straight because he was “sad” about the death of his firstborn child. Biden himself has used Beau’s death a number of times, even going so far as to suggest he was killed in Iraq. In reality, though sad, Beau died from a glioblastoma.

“As far as Hunter Biden goes, there’s no doubt, I mean, it’s pretty clear, even those close to the Biden family suggest that some of his behavior was pretty unseemly – that doesn’t make it illegal,” said MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire.

Lemire, who also works for POLITICO, added: “…we don’t know the role that then-Vice President Biden may have played [in Hunter’s business]”. He then conceded: “…maybe he’s guilty of turning a blind eye to some of his son’s behavior.”

“We should put this in context: This is a time when Beau Biden, the President’s other son, was ill and then dying and then passed away, so perhaps he was not as attentive to what he should have been here,” he added.

Washington Post associate editor Eugene Robinson was wheeled out to echo this sentiment: “You could certainly argue that at some point, if Hunter Biden put President Biden on the speakerphone like 20 times, you could certainly ask whether at some point President Biden might have said ‘Hey, quit putting me on speakerphone, you know, are you having a business meeting, like, what is that about?’ – but the context is that this was a sort of very fraught and sad time for the Biden family, and we know how important family is to the President.”

Whether this is a truly accurate description of President Biden is an open question, however, given his history of pointedly refusing to acknowledge the existence of his seventh grandchild , Hunter’s stripper lovechild, Navy, who was denied the right to bear the Biden surname in a lengthy court battle.
