Hey! Fattie
You never responded to my post: remember last year I posted in “ Bin Laden’s Dead” May 13 2011 “Could be he encrypted messages in photos Fatty. He would have used this software or similar” with the photo of one program.
Any comment?
Al-Qaeda uses steganography - documents hidden in porn videos found on memory stick
02 May 2012 Source: ISE
Steganography is the science of hiding data. Its most common digital use is to hide data within graphics – text hidden in a picture. Al-Qaeda apparently hid documents within porn videos on a memory stick.
Maqsood Lodin, a 22-year-old Austrian, is on trial in Germany. It now emerges that when stopped and questioned by Berlin police almost exactly one year ago (16 May 2011, after traveling to Berlin from Pakistan via Hungary) he was found to have a memory stick hidden in his underpants. The memory stick contained two porn videos; but the porn videos were hiding around 100 documents believed to include al-Qaeda training manuals and operational details.
The basis for most of the current reports comes from CNN, which takes its source from an article in Die Zeit. The Die Zeit article is not currently online. However, the investigative journalist author of the article, Yassin Musharbash, has published an English-language summary of his findings, on his own blog. He discusses some of the details found in the recovered documents and whether they are genuine: how effective western intelligence has been in disrupting al-Qaeda operations, how suspected operatives should draw attention away from active plotters, and how concerned the leadership had become at the failure to deliver new attacks.
The documents of most interest, he says, are “Lessons learned from past operations – Reports on three past operations (7/7 London; 21/7 London (sic!); Airliner Plot) – a sketch for a terror campaign in the West.”
The current reports are all concerned with the politics of the situation. Sadly, no details are given on the technology: how were the files hidden; were they encrypted as well as hidden; how were they discovered and extracted? We have to surmise. Infosecurity asked RandomStorm’s security researcher Robin Wood to explain the concepts and methods behind steganography. “It can take many forms,” he said, “from simply hiding the information in clear text (that is, unencrypted) in unused portions of a host file, to encrypting the data and then actually modifying the contents of the host file.” We can assume that the latter more complicated approach was used in this case. But how?
“For storing in images,” says Wood, “what you can do is to encode the data in the least significant bit of a range of pixels. What you end up with is a slightly different image; but as it is the least significant bit, the color is changed so insignificantly that a viewer won't notice. Exactly the same can be done with video, changing areas where humans won't notice the almost insignificant change. And as video is a much denser file format – sound, image, transitions etc – there is much more capacity to hide the data.”
It would seem, however, that steganography is not too difficult to detect once it is suspected. “Retrieving the data depends on how it was hidden,” Wood told Infosecurity. “Most file formats have a recognizable footprint, so using tools which can look for that footprint in other files you can easily pull out data which has been just been added to an unused portion.” In this part, steganography is more akin to obfuscation than serious security. However, added Wood, “If the data has been encrypted and mixed in with the host data then it is harder – but there are other tools that use various techniques to spot content.”
Surprised with all your connections and knowledge especially the jacket would know this already?
Now Klimmer ranting his crap, Ah! When will it ever end: Jesus guns and Israel saving the USA.

For those of you who have an open mind and want to know more about the significance of Israel and why WE as the Nation of The USA should support her, this study guide will go a long way in helping you understand that.
http://promisedlandthemovie.com/
I've watched the DVD (fine surfing by Tom Curren et al. in the movie in Israel, very cool) and I now have the study guide that goes with it. Very well done. Israel is very significant to the World. Turn your back on Israel and you have turned your back on GOD as a nation. You don't want to ever do that. WE need to support Israel. Let it be so.

So Klimmer, what is your take on the Palestinian issue?
Does standing by Israel mean standing by while Israel stands on the throat of Palestine?

Several years ago I spoke at the University of California at Irvine, the very same campus where radical Islamic students tried to prevent Israel's ambassador, Professor Michael Oren, from speaking. I first asked for students to raise their hands if they generally support Israel. All the students to my left raised their hands. I then asked how many students supported the Palestinian side. All the students to my right raised their hands. I then asked the pro-Israel group: "How many of you would support a Palestinian state living in peace and without terrorism next to Israel?" Every single pro-Israel hand immediately went up.
I then asked how many on the pro-Palestine side would accept a Jewish state within the 1967 borders, with no settlements on territory claimed by the Palestinians. Not a single hand was raised. The debate was essentially over, as everyone recognized that this was not a conflict between pro-Israel and pro-Palestine groups, but rather a conflict between those who would accept a two-state solution and those who would reject any Jewish state anywhere in the Middle East. (Ynet News)
An Israeli testimony (Mr. Lieberman). . . a very important 44 min. testimony listen:
http://www.kehilatariel.org/wordpress/?p=1640
See KA Weekly messages. 4/28/2012 An Israeli Testimony
Also please listen to 5/5/12 Chevra-Ministering to Holocaust Survivors
That's my answer. I agree with his testimony. He explains it very well.

BTw, met with a young Republican who is running for congress last night.
Did you explain to them that meeting with you will be the death knell of their political career?
And how is the State of Greater Israel coming?

Because they are actively involved in utterly eliminating Palestine already.
No need to threaten what you are already doing.
If push comes to shove the Zionist will use their nukes even on the US.
If they used them regionally they will serve to poison themselves with deadly radioactive fallout.
GO FOR IT!

Peace is war. War is peace.
Where are all those who protested us/U.S. invading Iraq? Over a million dead Iraqis. Will you not do the same for Iran?
Obama is a puppet for the United Nations. He didn't bother with approval from Congress for Libya.
He just did what his masters (the UN/new world order government) told him.
And Romney would do exactly the same. There is no left-right paradigm.
Wake up!

"INVADED"? WTF? how do you define INVADE?
What if McShame & Failin were in office and did the same thing.
There wouldn't be a significant peep of discontent from the Right
and general approval from the Left.
In light of the Shrubbie's two illegal wars
-(both of which involved real INVASIONS and prolonged OCCUPATIONS)-
what did Obama do in regards to Libya that you wouldn't want done anyway?
Are you saying that you preferred the earlier Status Quo in Libya?
Oh and how many American service men and women died
in support of the freedom seeking Libyan rebels?
Compare that number with Spurious George's body count.
How can you feel Afghanistan and Iraq are justifiable
yet Libya was not?
Please explain.
