On February 10, 1980, Brian Ingram, then eight years old, was with his family on a picnic when he found $5,880 in decaying bills (a total of 294 $20 bills),
(...)
it was proven that the money found by Ingram was part of the ransom given to Cooper(...)
Ingram was eventually allowed to keep $2,860 of this money. On June 13, 2008, in accordance with Ingram's wishes, the Heritage Auction Galleries' Americana Memorabilia Grand Format Auction in Dallas, Texas sold fifteen of the bills to various buyers for a total of more than $37,000.[38]

Shutting it down is obviously the perfect cover.
I feel like HAARP has taken the place of scientific Climate Change theories. Like for many libertarian types, they can just point to crazy weather and say it proves HAARP did it rather than Al Gore.

Because the anniversary is in the news I spent some time going down the rabbit hole of Boston Marathon Bombing conspiracy weirdos. Which led to the amusing spectacle of infowars/alex jones types arguing **with each other** over whether Jeff Bauman and other victims were actors or not. Some came down firmly on the side of these people OBVIOUSLY being actors, others were of the opinion that this was so obviously a false flag operation by the US intelligence community that introducing the idea of "crisis actors" was unnecessary.
It's scary to think that probably 10% of the people around you at any given time are absolutely shithouse-rat crazy.

There is a conspiracy (of course) that the recent lost Malaysian airplane was actually piloted by remote and steered off course to a remote location, to later be used in a FF. Because that is so much easier than just using a random plane no-one has ever heard of.

Others, like “FatherOdin,” agreed, claiming that “once the media picks up this story we will once again hear nonstop about how all Whites are racist, anti-government, violent threats to America.”
...
“The Federal Government is anti-white! The Federal Government is a lawless out of control violent mob! The only solution to the Federal Government is secession!”
isn't advocating secession a violent anti-government threat to America I am confused

So now that Mercedes is apparently vulnerable to the same types of hacking as GM, Jeep, etc. I'd love to see a proof-of-concept hack on the C250 that Michael Hastings was driving.
― Elvis Telecom, Saturday, 15 August 2015 22:38 (eight years ago) link

The big talks at both Black Hat and Defcon hacking conferences were all about car hacking remotely:http://www.wired.com/2015/07/hackers-remotely-kill-jeep-highway/http://www.eweek.com/security/slideshows/black-hat-defcon-put-car-hacking-web-privacy-on-center-stage.htmlhttp://www.technologyreview.com/news/540441/carmakers-accelerate-security-efforts-after-hacking-stunts/http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/212251-todays-car-hacks-bmw-chrysler-mercedes-benz-on-ioshttp://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-hack-a-corvette-with-a-text-message/
The upshot is that these vulnerabilities are more common and far easier to exploit than what was previously thought. Would love to know if a 2013 Mercedes C250 (what Hastings was driving) can be hacked and taken over similar to what the conspiracy theory dictates - lock the door, floor the gas, and disable the brakes.
― Elvis Telecom, Saturday, 15 August 2015 23:14 (eight years ago) link
None of which proves anything of course. There are far easier ways to knock people off the playing field than a remote-controlled car hack, but I've always thought that the circumstances around it were interesting.
