Should Security Researchers Pay For The Shadow Broker’s Exploit Dump?

We Are Change

Cyber Security researchers are today discussing the pros and cons of paying for a dump of exploits currently held by a notorious hacking group called The Shadow Broker’s. If these exploits get into the wrong hands they could be used to steal credit card information, login credentials or take control of a computer remotely.

It is unclear how the Shadow Broker’s acquired the exploits. It has been speculated that an NSA operator left it on an insecure remote server. An exploit is a piece of code used to abuse a flaw in a system or software. The hacker can then install malicious code known as malware onto the vulnerable system.

The issue produced a lot of debate on Twitter with people offering arguments for and against paying for the exploits.

AGAINST

Kevin Beaumont, a UK based security researcher said that the prospect was a new low for infosec.

Beaumont tweeted that the situation amounted to the infosec community paying a ransom for stolen goods.

Alan Woodward, a Security Advisor, stated that paying The Shadow Broker’s “would encourage further such thefts, and so I’m afraid as much as I’d like to see what they have to say, I think it’s a poor idea.”

Some have said that paying for The Shadow Broker’s dump would be supporting terrorism.

FOR

Others have argued that the purchase would offer a chance to patch, or fix, the problems before the exploits could be used for criminal purposes.

Mathew J Schwartz tells us that “[the] Goal of crowdfunding by security researchers is to prevent future wannacrys.” This is something that would be welcomed by all the people who were inconvenienced by WannaCry. The WannaCry worm infected machines across the globe and crippled organizations such as the NHS (National Health Service), in the UK.

Dan Goodlin tweeted that the the best argument is that the purchase of exploits by whitehats devalues the exploits, therein rendering it little to useless to other, possibly more malevolent buyers.

Joe Harris, Creator of the Threat² CTI Model, tweeted his preferred solution to the issue.

According to The Shadow Broker’s, to obtain access to the dumps yourself, you have to purchase 100 ZCash (close to $20,000) and send the money to the The Shadow Broker’s z_address, making sure you include your email address. If you correctly follow these steps, on July 1st, you will have received an email with a link and a password to the dump of that month.

According to a Shadow Broker’s article, the subscription service will provide subscribers who pay a fee of $20,000 per month with:

  • Web browser, router, handset exploits and tools
  • Select items from newer Ops Disks, including newer exploits for Windows 10
  • Compromised network data from more SWIFT providers and Central banks
  • Compromised network data from Russian, Chinese, Iranian and North Korean nukes and missile programs

Matthew Hickey, a hacker and Cyber Security Expert, acknowledged the debate, the divided opinions and set up a pole to find out if people thought crowd funding was a legitimate solution.

Steve Lord suggested a patreon was made.

Hickey tweeted that he had made a patreon and would go ahead with collecting funds to pay the subscription fee.

Joseph Cox, who covers hackers for Motherboard, summarised the plan to crowd source the money to pay the subscription fee.

On April 14th, 2017, the The Shadow Broker’s released an exploit kit known as Fuzzbunch, similar to Metasploit, which contained zero days such as EternalBlue. A zero day is a vulnerability or exploit that is unknown to the vendor or is unpatched. Eternalblue was utilized by the WannaCry worm to infect machines across the globe and cripple organizations such as the NHS (as mentioned briefly earlier), thus forcing them to deny requests.

Hickey added to the arguments for:

Brendan Dolan-Gavitt, Assistant Professor at New York University Tandon, commented that the future as imagined in cyberpunk culture is happening right now.

One unanswered question is why didn’t The Shadow Broker’s auction the FuzzBunch framework? Aren’t exploits effecting a popular operating system, i.e Windows, more useful than ones affecting a system infrequently used by the masses? After all, Windows is more often to be found on the average user’s computer. Is the motive something other than monetary gain? Maybe, maybe not. In the end, the cards will all play out and we may get to see the repercussions of these much sought after exploits.

VIDEO: Will Donald Trump Be At The 2017 Bilderberg Meeting?

We Are Change

Luke talks with Charlie Skelton- a freelance reporter who does a lot of work for the Guardian, about the Bilderberg meeting and the possibility of Trump attendance.  There are many suspicions that Obama and Hillary may have attended the meeting the last time it was held in Virginia.  Two personal aids the US National Security Advisor and H.R. McMaster are on the attendee list this year.

Charlie says it’s entirely possible that Trump may attend, as team Trump is already here in some numbers and the top of the agenda is a progress report on Trump.

Luke notes that Infowars who used to treat Bilderberg like the SuperBowl is currently nowhere to be found, not that surprising since we have seen them with a very pro-Donald Trump position in recent years.

There seem to be many more technocrat types at this Bilderberg meeting including the Executive Chairman of Google. (Alphabet Inc)  A lot of people connected to transhumanism and technology, there seems to be a focus on tech. In Bilderberg’s own words this is “Where they set the agenda for world events.”

Close associates of Trump also attending include Henry Kissinger, who recently met with Trump, perhaps they discussed the meeting.

Charlie talks about how Bilderberg seems to be embracing technology, especially with individuals attending like Eric Schmidt the Executive Chairman of Google (Alphabet Inc.), and Craig Mundie formerly of Microsoft.  They’ve really taken the tech people to heart, including people like Alex Karp from Palantir who works with Peter Thiel.  They seem to become more open and forward-looking, especially for an organization that doesn’t seem to have changed much in the past fifty years.

A few things jump out at him from the agenda, one item of which is called “The war on information”, if you look at the list there is a huge number of media and journalists present this year, seemingly more than usual.  Fake news appears to be one of the hot topics, and it’s disappointing that there will likely be more mainstream media inside than outside reporting.

Luke mentions how the discussion agenda contains topics like nationalism and how to slow down globalism, which seems to make no sense.

Charlie talks about how the head of NATO seems to now be a permanent fixture around the table at Bilderberg and there is a discussion topic called “Trans-Atlantic defense alliance: bullets, bytes and bucks”.  There seems to be some recent friction between the EU Countries and Trump, possibly related to his rather abrasive temperament and demanding more money.

Steering committee member David Yawn bragged about how the Bilderberg group was very important for the formation of the Euro and bringing the US/Euro together.  It’s really interesting to see how they list their agenda.

Charlie tells about how you can see their hand influencing Macron and the recent French elections.  They seem to be trying to rebuild Europe without the U.K., it’s really about trying to work out what direction they are going and who with.

Luke isn’t seeing a lot of major independent media and the mainstream media is not covering it either, even though the agenda items are quite impressive.  Charlie hopes they will show up.

Thanks so much for your support for independent media!

VIDEO: LIVE 360: AMA Tech Review On Location at Bilderberg 2017 w/ Tim Pool

We Are Change

In this first live video from Bilderberg 2017, Luke and Tim Pool discuss the latest technology gadgets right outside the conference venue in Virginia. 

They are experimenting with a 360-degree live stream, and discuss what hardware is useful for live streaming, including the use of drones, Gopro and 360-degreeras.

They talk about what cell phones work well for recording. They discuss the various limitations of these devices and what works in live recording situations.

Luke talks about how they have both traveled all over the world and covered all sorts of stories. Unedited and unbiased.

Tim is a major part of this revolution, and they get asked what equipment they use to do our jobs.

Tim talks about the GoPro and a gimbal mount for it, which is really good for interviews.

They both prefer the GoPro 4 over the latest model. Most of the time they just use cell phones to live stream with. 

At Occupy Wallstreet, he was there with his DSLR, while Tim was on the outside using Ustream and he was picked up on several major networks.

There was at least a million live viewers as occupy wall street was being shut down.

Tim also uses drones to get footage, he shows off several different models of drones.

One of Tim’s hobbies is to get 360-degree coverage of important live events, as it might be a legacy for the future.

Drones can be difficult to use, especially if you are dodging flying rocks.

Luke sees a big future for drones and these new 360 degree cameras.

Part 2

Tim Pool came down to check things out since Bilderberg is being held not far from where he lives.
Luke says security is much more courteous here unlike last year in Europe where they were threatened with physical violence.
They at the Bilderberg Venue live along with Jeff Berwick of the Dollar Vigilante, Dan Dicks of PressForTruth, and Brittney Pettibone.

They are all here at the hotel the day before it is put on complete lockdown and the security services take over.

Security will be sweeping the hotel, setting up metal detectors and making sure the entire venue is completely secure.
These meetings are fully off the record- the public does not know exactly what takes place here.  And yet our tax dollars are used to fund this operation, which is treated like a G7 meeting.

VIDEO: Angela Merkel Gets Drunk Slams U.S / Trump, Japan vs North Korea?

We Are Change

What the hell is happening today?
Luke started answering this with new daily update videos!

On this Memorial day he reminds us that the US has military has bases all over the globe.

Memorial day video 

It’s important to realize the bigger meaning and truth behind Memorial Day.  A video by former US Soldier Angelo John Gage- who tells us why almost every US war is “bullshit” and so many soldiers are dying for no good reason is highlighted.

He shows an amazing photograph taken of the protests that are now into their 57th day in Venezuela where hunger and hyperinflation are running rampant. The government is increasingly losing control.

Angela Merkel got hammered yesterday and made a public speech announcing that Germany can no longer rely on America. Edward Snowden called this an “Era-defining moment”.  She stated “The times in which we could completely depend on others are on the way out” and that “We have to fight our own destiny”.

She also said after Trump’s visit, that “Europe’s reliance on the US for protection is over”, and is upset with Trump for failing to endorse the Paris Agreement to fight global warming.  It will be interesting to see what geopolitical shifts will happen.

In a move possibly facilitating the covert funding of terrorists, the US Army has apparently lost track of one billion dollars worth of arms and equipment in Iraq and Kuwait.  They seemingly have no idea what happened.

Luke remarks “Gee.. I wonder where those munitions could have gone, they couldn’t have just disappeared.  Especially when we have Russian, Syrian, and Iraqi forces defeating ISIS, and (they’re) FINDING THEM WITH ISIS!


But don’t listen to me, I’m just a crazy conspiracy theorist that’s been is attacked and labeled as ‘fake news’ by the same mainstream media… like the New York times, that admitted that the arms shipped to Saudi Arabia end up in the hands of hard-line Islamic jihadists!”

This occurred on the heels of a $460 billion dollar weapons deal that Donald Trump has just signed with Saudi Arabia.  We wonder how that will work out for the Middle East.

With all of these weapons flowing to ISIS from Saudi Arabia and the United States, is it really that surprising that ISIS is now openly fighting Philippine government forces, forcing that country to declare martial law?

Massive war criminal and ISIS supporter John McCain has announced that “Vladmir Putin is a bigger threat than the Islamic State”.  Which may be why the US has announced plans to expand it’s “Space Weapons Program”- in order supposedly stop threats from Russia and China.

Instead of funding jihadist extremists, Russia has built a new base in the Arctic and is working towards claiming oil and gas reserves in that area.  Russia has also signed a new trade deal with Iran, an Oil-For-Goods Barter Deal which will likely put yet another nail in the US Petrodollar coffin.

North Korea has just test fired a third ballistic missile this time into the Sea of Japan, Japan has now threatened to attack militarily.

The US has also sent a third carrier strike group to that region.

And in travel fascism news, the US just announced that it may ban laptops on all flights in and out of the country.

That’s all the upbeat, optimistic news for today!

VIDEO: Zbigniew Brzezinski’s End, Kim Dotcom Bombshell: What the Hell Really Happened This Week

We Are Change

In this video, Luke Rudkowski brings us another insightful weekly news wrap up.

One of the biggest stories this week is the death of the first person Luke ever confronted- Zbiginew Brezinski.  The U.S. mainstream media remembered him as mainly the national security advisor for former President Jimmy Carter.

They neglected to mention that he was a very influential globalist- A co-founder with Henry Kissinger of the Trilateral Commission, and a member of the CFR and Bilderberg groups.

Tune into our Youtube channel this week for live coverage of Bilderberg 2017!

They also didn’t mention that he is the main man responsible for the rise of Al Quaeda, pioneering the U.S. government’s practice of sponsoring radical Islamic terrorists in 1979.

The suicide bombing at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester killed many innocent humans, tragically- mostly children.

With terrorist attacks becoming more frequent in the west, we have to ask ourselves why is this happening?  Unlike much of the alternative media out there, I don’t believe it’s all Muslims.  The inspiration for these attacks comes from Wahhabism- a fanatical and exclusive creed of intolerant regressive Islamists.

Wahhabism in mainly dominant in Saudi Arabia. They believe that Shia Muslims are their enemies, and that women shouldn’t have rights.  These groups which were armed and financed by Brzezinski were also financed by Obama, and now by Trump.
Trump just handed Saudi Arabia- the s a $460 billion dollar arms deal with the main Wahhabist country which is enabling U.S. weapons to be used in war crimes.

Trump claimed Saudi Arabia masterminded 9-11 and now he is further establishing them as the U.S’ main hegemonic power in the middle east, and mainly going against the Shias in Iran.

Salman Abedi– the Manchester suicide bomber was associated with terrorist organizations, and flew an ISIS flag outside of his window while traveling in Libya and Syria.  As a citizen of Britain, he is subjected to constant surveillance, so how did the government miss the terrorist flag waving in their faces?

These terrorist attacks are used as examples to terrify people into accepting more surveillance, so why isn’t the surveillance increase stopping them?  Mass data collection is one factor.. instead of doing targeted surveillance as they collect information on every citizen.  So while the NSA is admittedly looking at your sexts, the bad guys get lost in the mess.

The mass-collection mess is an example of the slave and master mentality between governments and their people- where the owners don’t trust their property and keep them under constant watch.

U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard introduced a bill to end warrantless collection of American’s emails.

When you look at the big picture, you can see the British and American government’s fingerprints on the Jihadi attacks that even the former leader of Libya- Muammar Gaddafi warned us about in 2011. He said if the US & UK governments overthrew him, it would lead to an open door for Jihadis and the slave trade route between Libya and the coast of Italy.

Things are getting worse, as this has been the deadliest month for US-led strikes on Syria. This is, of course creating more terrorists, as people seek vengence for their innocent loved ones who were murdered.

The UK’s intelligence agency says that there are over 23,000 Jihadi’s in Britain, with at least 3,000 posing an imminent threat. It makes you wonder how many of them were financed by the US & UK governments to fight in Libya and Syria for regime change?

Jihadi terrorism isn’t just in the west.. Muslims are not all Wahhabists and the Middle East is also suffering.. Recently in Syria, Wahabist rebel forces who have been financed by the west, murdered more than 80 Syrian children.
And now because of disastrous foreign policy decisions we are all living in this fear-based, order-out-of-chaos reality.

We need to deal with the root of the problem.. The US and UK continue to create a neverending cycle of terrorism by financing, arming, strengthening and emboldening the same forces that they claim to be enemies with, while humanity is being divided by religion, and plurocratic kakistocracy looks down on us, laughing.

In other world news, the US weapons deployed a 3rd aircraft carrier towards North Korea, and an ‘unsafe’ interception by the Chinese of a US surveillance

Also, an ‘unsafe’ interception by the Chinese of a US surveillance plane.  The US and China can’t seem to agree on what to do about North Korea, and it’s likely that this problem is getting worse.

There is more crazy news coming out about the death of Seth Rich- the DNC staffer who is thought by many to be the Wikileaks source for the DNC email leaks, and was mysteriously murdered on the streets of Washington DC.

A GOP lawmaker is calling for a federal investigation of Rich’s death.  Martin Shkreli is offering $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of Seth’s murderer.  And Kim Dotcom claims to have evidence that Rich was Wikileaks source, and then confused many when he said he would only release the information if the US gives him diplomatic immunity to enter the US and provide the evidence to Congress. This is very unlikely as Kim himself likely knows.  The U.S. government doesn’t seem interested in investigating Seth’s death.

Sean Hannity tried to cover Rich’s death and many people are angry and demanding that he is fired. The authenticity of newly leaked FBI documents is being questioned, FOIA documents are being denied.

The authenticity of newly leaked FBI documents is being questioned, FOIA documents are being denied.

Why is the establishment so afraid to investigate what happened to Seth?  If it comes out that Seth is the Wikileaks source, it would totally destroy the mainstream media’s heavily invested in the conspiracy theory that Russia hacked the 2016 election.

The mainstream media is mainly a consolidation of 6 giant corporate conglomerates, which is why anyone talking about important issues like the U.S. being the largest financier in the world of Islamic terrorism- is being branded a ‘conspiracy theorist’.

One effective way you can help with one of the solutions to the corporate conglomerate whore problem is to fund independent media like us : )

Bitcoin and AltCoins Take A Well Deserved Breather and A Response to Natural News

Bitcoin and AltCoins Take A Well Deserved Breather and A Response to Natural News

I don’t know whether I have been uncannily prescient at predicting where the cryptocurrency market is going… or if I am causing all of the things I am predicting. It’s a serious question. It seems that when I say I expect a cryptocurrency to go higher it immediately spikes massively higher right after. And, yesterday, […]

Bitcoin Goes Loco! Surges through $2,500 Despite Fork Issues Continuing To Remain Unclear

It seems like barely a day goes by without bitcoin rising $100, $200 or more. It was only three weeks ago that we trumpeted that bitcoin had hit a new all-time high above $1300. A few days later we were thrilled when it broke $1,400. The very next day we livestreamed on Youtube for our […]

VIDEO: THE ON COMING TECHNOCRATIC MULTI MEDIA BILDERBERG TAKEOVER

We Are Change

In this video, Luke Rudkowski of WeAreChange interviews former BBC journalist turned independent radio broadcaster, Tony Gosling, regarding the upcoming agenda and trends of the 2017 Bilderberg group. Of course much is shrouded in secrecy and mystery about the elusive Bilderberg group but we give you our take from the evidence we found about the future of this organization.

BACKGROUND

The Bilderberg Group was established in 1954 with the first meeting being held at the Hotel de Bilderberg in Oosterbeek, in the Netherlands, from May 29 to 31.

The Bilderberg conference is an annual private event of 120 to 150 people of the European and North American political elite, experts from industry, finance, academia and the media.

The group’s original goal of promoting Atlanticism, of strengthening U.S.–European relations and preventing another world war has grown; the Bilderberg Group’s theme is to “bolster a consensus around free market Western capitalism and its interests around the globe” according to Andrew Kakabadse.

In 2001, Denis Healey, a Bilderberg group founder and a steering committee member for 30 years, said,

“To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair. Those of us in Bilderberg felt we couldn’t go on forever fighting one another for nothing and killing people and rendering millions homeless. So we felt that a single community throughout the world would be a good thing.”

TAKING PLACE TODAY

Daniel Estulin is a Soviet born writer, investigative journalist, public speaker and film producer and today is the premiere of his new film, titled ‘Bilderberg The Movie’. The premiere is taking place at The Prytania Theater in New Orleans.

The synopsis of the movie is explained on the bilderbergthemovie.com website as:

“Bilderberg The Movie is a documentary film about the origins, development and expansion of one of the most elitist and secret organizations in today’s world: The Bilderberg Group. Once a year, the most powerful people on the planet, meet behind closed doors. The Group is comprised of European Prime Ministers, American presidents, and the wealthiest CEOs of the world, all coming together to discuss the economic and political future of humanity. The working press has never been allowed to attend, nor have statements ever been released on the attendees’ conclusions or discussions, which have ramifications on the citizens of the world.”

Check out the exciting trailer for Estulin’s movie!

US-led air strikes killed record number of civilians in Syria

We Are Change

Air strikes carried out by the US and its coalition partners in Syria have killed the highest number of civilians on record since the bombing campaign began, a war monitor has said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a group mostly advocating anti-government forces in the war in Syria, said on Tuesday that the US-led coalition killed a total of 225 civilians between April 23 and May 23, the highest 30-day toll since the campaign began in 2014.

“The past month of operations is the highest civilian toll since the coalition began bombing Syria,” Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP news agency. “There has been a very big escalation.”

A U.S. military spokesman was quick to characterize those casualties as being accidents, otherwise, the result of U.S.-allied bombings but deferring all blame from the U.S.-led alliance.

Stephen Townsend, a U.S. general and commander of Baghdad’s forces, said that the Islamic State group had “probably played a role in those casualties,” by using civilians as human shields. He provided no proof to validate his claims.

International human rights organizations argue that the official number of civilians killed in coalition operations is far greater than that reported by the Pentagon because Washington rejects figures provided by monitors on the ground, and always tries to cut back on the number of the casualties.

Source: airwars.org

In March, the US was accused of killing around 300 civilians alone after one strike which hit a mosque in Aleppo province and two incidents in the fight for Isis-controlled neighborhoods of the Iraqi city of Mosul.

Earlier this month, the US military said that coalition air strikes in Iraq and Syria had ”unintentionally“ killed 352 civilians since the campaign began, but rights groups have blasted the estimate as too low, saying the US is guilty of not taking “sufficient precautions” to avoid civilian deaths.

The US and allies formed the coalition earlier in 2014 to fight Daesh in neighboring Iraq, but they later expanded it to include territories in east and north of Syria. Damascus, which itself is busy fighting terrorists on multiple fronts, condemned the decision at the time, saying it violated Syria’s territorial integrity.

The Syrian government has never sought assistance from the West as it insists that Washington and allies in Europe have helped the surge in militancy in the Arab country by providing direct finance and weaponry to certain militant groups.

SOHR’s own estimate is that 1,481 people, among them 319 children, have been killed by US-led air operations since 2014.

The International Coalition consists of the United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, and Denmark among others.

Trump Making Treasonous Deals With 9/11 Terrorists That Would Make Hillary Blush

It is a testament to the dumbing down of America that no one noticed when 15 of the 19 supposed hijackers of 9/11 were Saudis and none of them were Iraqis or Afghans, yet the US went on to attack Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11 while doing nothing to Saudi Arabia. To anyone who had […]

Manifesto Meltdown: May Denies U-Turn On “Dementia Tax”

We Are Change

Theresa May, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, has said that a Conservative government would set an “absolute limit” on the amount that people pay for social care, dubbed the “Dementia Tax”, in a U-turn on plans included in her party’s election manifesto last week.

May is coming under pressure to drop or water down her controversial shakeup of social care that has been branded a “dementia tax”, amid warnings that it is unfair and could deter older people from seeking care. Over the weekend the polls showed the gulf between the two parties narrowing to nine points.

The Lib Dem leader, Tim Farron, called it a “manifesto meltdown” but said it changed nothing. “As Theresa May has made clear herself, nothing has changed and her heartless dementia tax remains in place. He went on to say, “This is a cold and calculated attempt to pull the wool over people’s eyes.”

The prime minister has faced a backlash about the proposal to make elderly people pay for care in their own home unless they have less than £100,000 in assets, as it would force them to use up the value of their residential property for the first time.

During a speech in Wrexham to launch the Welsh Tory manifesto, May said:

“So I want to make a further point clear. This manifesto says that we will come forward with a consultation paper, a government green paper. And that consultation will include an absolute limit on the amount people have to pay for their care costs.”

However, the prime minister refused to be drawn on the level of the new cap. May denied that there had been a change of direction and said she was simply clarifying the points in the manifesto, however, details of a cap were not contained in the manifesto.

Sky’s Economic Editor Ed Conway said: “It’s pretty clear, when you look at the manifesto this was not there. It looks to have been ruled out, if not explicitly, then very much implicitly and lo and behold, it suddenly changed and a cap has been added in the last few hours, it seems.”

What is the “dementia tax”

leftfutures.org gives the best explanation, included here:

“Presently, recipients of residential care have to part fund the service they receive if they have assets in excess of £23,250. If they are applying for a place in a home, they have to include the value of their house in the means test. As around two thirds of pensioners are home owners, this often means selling the house from under them to pay for their care package – though an option exists to defer costs. To demonstrate, assume a 75 year old pensioner requiring residential care has £25k in savings and their house is worth £89k. Leaving aside income and assuming that person then lives for a further six years (in line with current life expectancy), according to care costs calculators for Staffordshire (because that’s where I live) you’re talking upwards of £190k. Note this will vary from county-to-county and by local authority area. Therefore, our pensioner would presently be required “contribute” almost £91,000. The remaining £23k of their assets will remain theirs. If on the other hand our pensioner requires domiciliary (at home) care, the application in this case would take into account their savings only. This care is cheaper, costing between 70-75% of being in a home and their contribution would be just £1,750 (again, leaving aside income from their pension(s)).

What they giveth in one hand they taketh with the other. Under the proposals in their manifesto, our imaginary pensioner above wouldn’t have to pay anywhere near as much as the Conservatives promise to raise the capital floor to £100,000. Their contribution would shrink to just £14,000. Sounds alright, doesn’t it? But here’s the catch. The Conservatives want to redefine the asset base so the house is counted for residential and domiciliary care. Another change is they will only come for the assets after the person in receipt of care has died. On the surface then, pensioners who are poorer or moderately okay like the example given would benefit. But older people whose combined assets are in excess of £100,000 are going to get clobbered. Or, rather, their families and children are. The problem for the Tories is this is their vote base, and there are millions of pensioners in this position. All of a sudden, estates of people in receipt of domiciliary care are going to receive steep bills after their loved one has died.

This sets up all kinds of problems and difficulties. For pensioners living as couples, how does this recoup costs from shared assets like a home? If their house is £250,000, would the estate be expected to pay £150,000 or £25,000? And in either case, would the surviving partner be expected to liquidate their shared asset to pay the bill? Likewise, for live-in carers who might be sons, daughters or whatever, can we safely assume that they will be expected to sell up their inheritance to pay the balance off? And what will they do about the scramble of elderly people transferring ownership of assets to relatives before they put in a care application and therefore avoid the charges? Unfortunately, none of this is clarified in their manifesto. Unlike Labour who provided costings for their pledges, the Tories chose not to.”

There has been a backlash from members of the public who fear receiving demanding letters from the council asking them to hand over tens, and in some cases, hundreds of thousands of pounds, all while grieving for their relatives. One of the criticisms is that no one can really do anything to avoid the tax since old age brings health complications and an unlucky number of people will develop dementia.

Even May’s own Tory ministers and newspapers who would normally be supportive, are not going to defend her proposal.

May argued that the policy was necessary to create a “sustainable future for social care”, saying there would be 2 million more people over 75 coming into the system over the next decade.

The negative reaction to the “dementia tax” is spreading over the internet and social media and is the top trending Twitter topic in the UK today.

The Conservatives are obviously worried and have gone into damage control mode, even paying for an add to appear as the top result on Google.co.uk today.

The Conservative manifesto also scraps the ban on elephant ivory sales.

The public have been baffled as to why May has included such controversial and unpopular proposals in her manifesto.

A quote from a Daily Mail article written in March, entitled “Tories’ shame over blood ivory”, exlpained:

A much more likely reason (for the Tories dropping the ivory ban) is that they are being swayed by the powerful antiques industry, which fears it will lose millions of pounds if antique ivory sales are stopped, and whose figurehead happens to be Victoria Borwick, Conservative MP for Kensington, and president of the British Antique Dealers’ Association.”

The most powerful UK antique traders association is The British Antiques Dealers’ Association, and their President, Lady Victoria Borwick (also the Conservative MP for Kensington) can be seen shaking hands with Theresa May in the image above.

Needless to say these proposals, that also includes a free vote to repeal the Hunting Act, have been very unpopular.

Last week, Theresa May said that “there is a need to keep fox numbers down” and that hunting was “less cruel than other methods”. CEO of League Against Cruel Sports, Eduardo Goncalves, had the following to say in response:

“Contrary to what the Prime Minister mistakenly said, anyone who feels the need to kill foxes should never use hunting with dogs, as it is in fact one of the cruellest methods available. This is due to the long chases of the target animal involved. There is enough evidence to suggest that hunted animals suffer whilst being chased by dogs regardless of how they are then eventually killed.

“There are two key points to this argument. Firstly, there is no need to control wildlife populations including that of foxes because their populations self regulate. Claims that fox populations are increasing out of control are completely false. Secondly, hunting has absolutely nothing to do with wildlife control, it is about a blood sport, plain and simple – killing for fun.

“The vast majority of the public want to keep hunting for sport illegal, and it is only a very small minority of influential figures who want to satisfy their blood lust once again and make ripping apart animals for sport legal. What we want is a future free from cruelty.”

The public are wondering if the Tories are trying to sabotage their chances at winning the general election.

For those in the UK, to vote in the General Election on  June 8, you need to register by 11:59pm today! You don’t need to register again if you’ve already registered.

VIDEO: Bitcoin at $2000!!! But What To Look Out For Now

We Are Change


Bitcoin has just gone up to $2,000 per bitcoin, the all-time high! In this video we Luke talks with Joby Weeks who is a bitcoin miner and entrepreneur about how this happened, some of the pitfalls that could occur, and an important lesson about how to avoid losing money because of hackers. Joby is part of a mining club called BitClub which is one of the top 10 bitcoin miners in the world.

Luke asked long-time friend Joby how the price has climbed so high.  Scarcity is the short answer.. you can’t just print BTC out of thin air.. it’s a deflationary currency, so over time with the supply going down and the demand going up- the price goes up. A lot of people are really excited about bitcoin and the blockchain in

A lot of people are really excited about bitcoin and the blockchain in general, because it’s outside of the banks.. Over a billion dollars is transacted every day.  Joby and his wife have visited hundreds of different cities a year in the past few years, in over 120 different countries total, and everywhere they go they spend bitcoin.

Luke points out there is a lot of skepticism about Bitcoin now- especially since it’s at an all-time high. Many people are saying that the transaction cost and the blockchain size are going to be a hindrance. They’re also talking about the possibility of quantum computing making bitcoin irrelevant.

Joby responds that the truth comes in 3 phases, first people laugh at you/ don’t believe you, then it’s violently opposed, and then it’s self-evident. We’re still in the laughing stage right now he said- the entire BTC global economy is only a 25 billon market cap right now. Some hedge fund managers run more than 25 billion. Bankers are moving around 8 trillion dollars a day! This dwarfs huge industries like oil and pharmaceuticals, which both are said to top only 1 trillion. But Bitcoin is currently sneaking up on Western Union, PayPal, MoneyGram, and Venmo.

One thing merchants like about BTC is there are no chargebacks, which means a lot less charges and fraud to deal with. On the flip side of this, no chargebacks also means that transactions are bundled into a block and loaded into the blockchain.  When the block is loaded, it can only hold 1MB of transactions, about 2300 transactions every 10 minutes (around 7 transactions per second)..  If there are millions of people using bitcoin those transactions will get backlogged.

Bitcoin miners are creating new bitcoins, and the fees they charge to mine them are going up.. which is good for the miners, but for small transactions like micropayments, it makes less sense to use BTC because the fees are higher.  So people are moving to other cryptocurrencies like Etherium, Dash, Zcash, Monero,  etc

The bitcoin community is split in half on what do to about the growing problem.  Joby thinks a consensus needs to be reached. Will they ‘hard fork’ and expand the 1mb block to an 8mb block? Or will a better solution be agreed upon? This is the focus of ‘Consensus 2017’  happening in a few days in New York City.

Here’s a simple breakdown on the two main options being considered: SegWit VS Bitcoin Unlimited

Joby was the target of hackers who found a weakness through his Tmobile account, and were able to port his mobile phone number to themselves. This gave them access to his Facebook, Gmail, AOL, and he finds he’s been locked out of all his accounts. He had 125 bitcoins and other cryptos stolen from a trading platform that was also hacked into.

Check out the full video for some great tips on how to prevent this happening to you.
