Apologies for interrupting any work/messages being undertaken. I am a newbie here (1st post) and felt this was the only way to get this information to Linus Torvalds. ____ The following was posted on a forum on the 22nd March 2017: 'I've been working at Intel for the last 15 years as an electrical engineer. 3 years ago I [got] bored with my job and wanted to move to a different department. Intel is pretty good about letting employees move around within the company. An opening came up on the Management Engine team, and since I have experience with micro-controllers I figured I'd give it a shot. The interview went great and they wanted me on board, but the final step was to get securuty clearance. I asked them WTF I need a security clearance for, and they said they couldn't tell me unitl I was on the team. Thus began a 3 year trip down the fucking rabbit hole. I'm coming forward today because of the news that Trump was spied on. I know exactly how it was done because I spent the last three years adding backdoors into the ME. For those of you that are unaware, the ME is ona separate CPU and cannot be disabled, and it exists at a level below the operating system. Intel has been working with the intelligence community for years to get backdoors into physical hardware so they don't have to worry about finding OS exploits. If the hardware itself is compromised then the whole machine is compromised. ----Next post---- The ME has full access to memory without the parent CPU having any knowledge, it has full access to the TCP/IP stacl, and full access to every peripheral connected to the computer. It also runs when the computer is hibernating. It doesn't matter if you're using Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Whonix, Tails, Qubes OS, or Subgraph. If you have an i3, i5, or i7 hen you're completely owned by the intelligence community. We added similar finctionality to Samsung's WEEPING ANGEL, except the intelligence community calls our project ODIN'S EYE. Through the ME we can activate the mic and webcam even though the computer appears to be off or sleeping. Evidence of surveillance on Trump, his family, and key people in his campaign will come out eventually. I know the surveillance happened for a fact. Future leaks are coming, watch out for ODIN'S EYE.' ---END POST--- Jim Stone over at 82.221.129.208/.zj3.html has the image of the text of the above (you need to scroll down a bit). He also mentioned this stuff, and more, over 7 years ago, though not in the same exact terms as the above, and states that this has actually occured since the Centrino processor, which is where the first backdoors started to be placed. I am here to pass on the information to all of you, if you do not already have it (and since I have just joined to explicitly to send this I have no idea if any of you know this or not), and primarily to get this information to Linus Torvalds who has been quoted by RT very recently as saying that the patches announced by intel (for the Spectre and Meltdown bug) are 'garbage'. I hope that the above information can now be used to understand the real extent of the problem.
