Full NSA access built into every Windows OS since 1997 | The Day The Earth Stood Shill

Full NSA access built into every Windows OS since 1997 | The Day The Earth Stood Shill
How NSA access was built into Windows

Careless mistake reveals subversion of Windows by NSA.
A CARELESS mistake by Microsoft programmers has revealed that special access codes prepared by the USNational Security Agency have been secretly built into Windows. The NSA access system is built into every version of the Windows operating system now in use, except early releases of Windows 95 (and its predecessors). The discovery comes close on the heels of the revelations earlier this year that another US software giant, Lotus, had built an NSA “help information” trapdoor into its Notes system, and that security functions on other software systems had been deliberately crippled.
The first discovery of the new NSA access system was made two years ago by British researcher Dr Nicko van Someren. But it was only a few weeks ago when a second researcher rediscovered the access system. With it, he found the evidence linking it to NSA.

Roy Stobbs in Court Again - Charged With Child Sex Offences

Roy Stobbs

A 62-YEAR-OLD man appeared in court yesterday charged with making indecent photographs of children.

Roy Stobbs, of The Hollow, Meltham, pleaded not guilty to all matters at Kirklees Magistrates’ Court.

Court papers featured two separate files of charges ranging from offences including level 1 images to more serious level 4 types. There are also charges relating to “possessing an extreme pornographic image portraying an act which threatened life”.

The accusations are dated from November 2008 to June 2011.

Prosecutor Alex Bozman said the charges related to the examination of a computer which was recovered from Stobbs’ home in June 2012. Chairman of the bench, Brian Bedford, told the defendant: “These matters are too serious for this court.” He granted Stobbs unconditional bail and said he was required to attend Kirklees Magistrates’ Court again for a committal hearing on June 17 at 3pm. Afterwards, Stobbs’ solicitor, Patrick Bernard, said it was unclear how many charges his client would ultimately face as the ones on the court papers were so-called specimen charges.
