Cyber-Dome: Idaho joins Israel in new global cyber dominance operation?

11 March 2022  (16:05-UTC-07 Tango 06) 20 Esfand 1400/07 Sha’ban 1443/09 Gui Mao 4720

“The cybersecurity market has evolved rapidly since the beginning of the pandemic, especially when it comes to identifying and developing talented cybersecurity personnel, and providing them an environment where they can make an impact, be challenged and feel successful.”-Edward Vasko, Boise State University’s Institute for Pervasive Cybersecurity

On 02MAR2022, Idaho’s Boise State University (BSU) announced their Cyberdome program was up and running.  BSU’s Institute for Pervasive Cybersecurity is using the Open XDR Platform created by a company called Stellar Cyber (interview with co-founder of Steller Cyber, who blames Pandemic fearmongering mandates for the sudden skyrocketing use of Cyber Domes).  The official reason for this Cyberdome program is to provide rural areas with cyber security, but the program will also offer ‘free’ (state taxpayer funded) cyber security to more than 750 state taxpayer funded agencies (Idaho instituted a federal taxpayer funded Department of Defense cybersecurity operation through its National Guard several years ago and it does not have a good track record of halting cyber crimes).

(Boise State welcomes local governments to the ‘Cyberdome’)

BSU’s Cyberdome operation will be staffed by students, and supposedly is funded by grant money, at least until 2024 or 2025. In July 2021, the Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission’s Higher Education Research Council granted BSU $700-thousand per year for at least three years, to create and operate a Cyberdome program.  Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission is part of the Higher Education Research Council, which in turn is part of the state taxpayer funded Idaho Board of Education. The ‘grant money’ comes from taxpayers.

Maybe it is a coincidence, but in December 2021 the U.S. Cyber Command, and Israel’s Joint Cyber Defense Division, conducted joint CyberDome operations within the U.S., for the sixth time!   According to The Times of Israel, just weeks before the 2021 joint operation with the U.S., Israel’s Joint Cyber Defense Division also conducted a CyberDome operation that involved ‘simulated’ cyber attacks against the financial institutions of ten countries!

It turns out there are Cyberdome operations everywhere, some presented as government operations, some as private sector operations, there’s even a non-profit Cyberdome led by former U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials that helps ‘protect’ politicians in the United States (it’s called US CyberDome)!

United Arab Emirates based ISnSC claims to have an autonomous Cyber Dome, which can integrate with XDR.

Finland based Nokia has an 5G XDR they call NetGuard Cybersecurity Dome.

There is a CyberDome operation in the African country of Nigeria, and it turns out it is the same CyberDome operation based in Israel!

Bynet Communications in Israel, claims it designed CyberDome. But as you’ll see below, another Israeli company also makes that claim.

In the country of India, the Kerala Police have their own ‘joint’ private/public funded Cyberdome operation.

Israeli Cyber-Dome is the developer of the security add-on Magen. Magen is a security layer that claims to lower the risk of being spied on or having personal data stolen.

Financial Martial Law: Biden issues Order to shutdown ‘foreign’ cryptocurrencies, protect top currency status for United States!

11 March 2022  (09:52-UTC-07 Tango 06) 20 Esfand 1400/07 Sha’ban 1443/09 Gui Mao 4720

I’m amazed how many lovers of cryptocurrencies, and ignorant main stream news sources, are applauding U.S. President Joe Biden’s latest executive order.  The Devil is in the details, and the details do not say the U.S. is going to accept privately generated cryptocurrencies!

To make it quick, Biden’s order gives numerous government officials 180 days to present him with what they think will benefit the U.S., and what is a threat to the U.S.  The focus of the order is on all aspects of U.S. National Security.  Primarily it is about stopping “…foreign CBDCs…” from  usurping “…existing currencies and alter the payment system in ways that could undermine United States financial centrality…”

If there is going to be any U.S. backed cryptocurrency it is going to be one that is created by the U.S. government: “….to develop a strategic plan for Federal Reserve and broader United States Government action, as appropriate, that evaluates the necessary steps and requirements for the potential implementation and launch of a United States CBDC.”

Cold War to Ukraine Crisis, Vehicle I-D: MTLB, used by U.S., NATO, and still used by Russia!

Image

Cold War: Approximately 1947 (due to U.S. President Harry Truman’s Truman Doctrine) to 1991 (Operation Desert Storm, collapse of Soviet Union).

The MTLB is a direct descendant of the PT-76 amphibious tank, as is the BTR-50, ASU-85, ZSU-23-4, and the 1S91 SURN-2K12 Kub antiaircraft missile system.  However, all those other PT-76 relatives are rear engine/rear drive, the MTLB is mid-engine/front drive.

Photo dated March 1983, no other information.

The later MTLBu (also called M1976 by U.S./NATO) artillery command tank (mid-engine/front drive), 2S1 SP gun (front engine/front drive), and UR-77 (2S1 chassis) are based on a stretched MTLB chassis (with seven roadwheels instead of six, per side).  The even later BMP-23 is based on the 2S1 chassis.

Photo I took one California National Guard drill weekend on NTC, California, in 1984. There were about a dozen MTLBs working with OpFor.

For some reason, NATO likes to add a dash between MT and LB, I have not found this to be the case with Russian sources.  The MTLB comes from the Latinized Russian nomenclature;  Mnogotselevoy Tyagach Legky Bronirovanny.  In Russian Cyrillic it is Многоцелевой Тягач Легкий Бронированный, МТЛБ which is MTLB.  In English it means Multipurpose Tractor Light Armored (MTLA).  Light armored is for sure, I’ve checked out the MTLBs on Fort Irwin and the armor is so thin that I would not be surprised if 12.7mm (.50 cal) ball ammo could make Swiss cheese out of it.

Photo my father took of MTLB engineer vehicle at USAF air show in California, Summer 1986.

One of my Cold War era books on Soviet vehicles claims the MTLB was an armored version of the MTL (this claim is currently also being made by a internet ‘encyclopedia’).  I haven’t found anything about an MTL, what I found is that the predecessor of the MTLB was the ATP, which has no relation to the PT-76 or MTLB.  It’s not the first time NATO/U.S. was wrong about anything Soviet (COLD WAR BOATS: MOSKVA CLASS SUBMARINE HUNTERS, STOP CALLING THEM AIRCRAFT CARRIERS!).

During the Cold War, the U.S. Air Force managed to get their own Soviet MTLB. This one was seen on Bolling Air Force Base (now Joint Base Anacostia–Bolling), Washington DC. Photo by Don S. Montgomery, October 1986.

Since the end of the unofficial Cold War, the MTLB has been continually modified by the many countries that still use it.

Vehicle I-D: What happens when both sides use the same weapons?

Video

Ukraine is the birthplace of Russia.  Today’s larger Russia expanded out of Ukraine.  In the 20th Century the new Union of Soviet Socialist Republics allowed the creation of a separate Soviet Republic of Ukraine. It was during the time of the Soviet Union that Ukraine became a major manufacturer of weapon systems for the U.S.S.R.  In 1991, Ukraine lead the collapse of the Soviet Union by declaring independence.  Then there was the creation of the European Union (EU).  Both the EU and NATO have been actively involved in ‘behind-the-scenes’ influence of the Ukrainian government, for decades now.  Despite that, even today Russia and Ukraine use the same type of major weapon systems.  How do you tell them apart during combat?

This T-64BV is not marked, but carries large Russian and Donbas militia flags.

Russia has obviously thought about that because their ground vehicles, along with the military ground vehicles of Donetsk Republic and Lugansk (Luhansk) Republic have been given unique operational markings.  They look like Latin alphabet letters but are not.  They also indicate the Area of Operation (AO); North in Kiev Oblast, or South in Donbas.

Video from the end of February 2022, Donbas-Lugansk Republic militia and their trucks, BMP-1s and 2S1 SP Guns, all marked with ‘Z’, waiting for orders to move-out:

In the Southern, Donbas area of operation (AO), Russian, Lugansk and Donetsk tracked and wheeled vehicles are marked with a ‘Z’.

When you see a Western news report about Russian activities, if they are talking about Kiev AO (Area of Operation), but the images show vehicles with ‘Z‘ on them then the images are actually from the Donbas AO.

What many people in the United States don’t know is that under President Barack Obama, Iraq was allowed to get weapons from countries considered ‘not friendly’ to the United States, like Iran and Russia.  In fact, Iranian Sukhoi 25 aircraft operated inside Iraq, from Iraqi air bases, to help Iraq fight the so-called Islamic State.  When Iran left they ‘gifted'(?) the Su-25s to Iraq.  These were in addition to the Russian Su-25s acquired by Iraq.  They are Su-25KM single seaters and Su-25UBKM two seaters.

MiG 31 crashes in Novgorod

Image

Supposedly, on 29JAN2022 a MiG-31 (NATO reporting name Foxhound) crashed in Novgorod Oblast.

Unconfirmed reports say the plane was trying to take off but could not generate the speed necessary, running off the runway and bouncing off a snow drift.

Looking at the photos (source unknown) it is clear that there was a fire involving the rear cockpit, which caused the forward cockpit and fuselage to drop off.

It is common for MiG-31s to crash, usually blamed on “technical malfunction”.

China’s Type 59 (aka WZ-120) is a license built version of the Soviet T-54A.  Many were sold/given to Viet Nam during the U.S. occupation of that South East Asian country, it was the first time the Type 59 experienced actual combat.   In the last decade of the non-official Cold War (the 1980s) China upgraded its tanks with NATO’s 105mm L7 gun, designed in United Kingdom.

The latest version of the Type 59 is the Type 59D (WZ-120D) with explosive reactive armor and a longer barreled 105mm L7 main gun (which is now called the ZPL-94/Type 94 gun).  Apparently it is able to launch anti-tank guided missiles from the ZPL-94 gun.
