#VAULT7 Year Zero: CIA Universal Spying & "Invisible Government"

In this video I go over the BOMBSHELL WikiLeaks release: Vault 7 part 1 aka Year Zero!!

Recently WikiLeaks released their much anticipated #Vault7 series, after tweeting a series of cryptic tweets asking What, Where, When, Who, Why, and How #Vault7 made its to WikiLeaks. This led many researchers, me included to wonder just what it might be about, with many believing it might rock the foundations of our society. In fact, the recent release may have just done that.

Vault 7 is a collection of documents from the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that were leaked to WikiLeaks from an alleged whistleblower within the CIA that wanted to make their questionable secret dealings made available to the public. The first part of the series, Year Zero, shows the unprecedented spying capabilities and cyber warfare weapons technologies that have secretly been widely used on targets across the entire world, including 22 thousand targets in the United States. The spying capabilities also appear to widely overreach the commitments that the government has publicly made, which raises the question of whether the CIA acted on their own behalf, or were order to do so by the Obama administration, which could be grounds for prosecution.

Some of the revealed capabilities of the CIA include the ability to spy on nearly every “smart” phone, TV, car, airplane, or even infrastructure, and even make, for example TVs, appear in a “fake off” mode where they can control it and spy through the microphone and camera to unsuspecting people. Furthermore, the CIA can mask their “fingerprints” to make it appear the hacking is coming from another source, such as a country, i.e. Russia or China. The most disturbing part so far is that the CIA has released many cyber “weapons” or malware into the public internet, which required them to make them unclassified and thus in the public domain, which allows anyone to freely pirate them and make copies, giving the user the hacking capabilities of the CIA. Whether these malware codes have been obtained by others is a very real concern. Also, the CIA has hidden (or coordinated with tech companies) “zero days” or hidden vulnerabilities in their software, which allows for easy hacking entry by the CIA.
Year Zero is only 1% of the total Vault 7 documents, in which the total may amount to 1 MILLION documents!

Also in this video I go over the fact that I was the first person to discover on Twitter just what the Vault 7 was going to be about, a day before anyone else did, through the cryptic hidden monument in the WikiLeaks tweet prior to the Vault 7 release. The vault 7 download passphrase was: SplinterItIntoAThousandPiecesAndScatterItIntoTheWinds which is a reference to the famous JFK quote: “to splinter the C.I.A. in thousand pieces and scatter it to the winds." In proving that this quote was indeed from JFK, I go over the 1966 CIA investigation by the New York Times to also illustrate that some of the concerns mentioned in that article over 50 years ago about the CIA are now more true than ever…

I will go over the mainstream media coverage of #Vault7, which I believe is one of the monumental news stories in human history, in a later video so stay tuned!
