People have this old fashioned myth that an image is an array of pixels on your screen. When it has been turned into a spy device that has five different kinds of hidden codes we know about, plus secret watermarks and crap we don't, from who knows how many pieces of hardware and software. Not to mention way more resolution, apparently, than is needed to read the label on a package of cheese.

For all that, we get pictures that you can't paste from one web browser window to another without them turning black and losing features. Because, like "phones", the thing they are supposed to do is such a low priority, behind so many spies in line, that they are gradually losing the ability to do it at all.

Stewart sent the image on EncroChat, an encrypted messaging service used exclusively by criminals that was infiltrated by police in a major operation last year.

This sounds like usual CNN distortion. All encrypted networks are exclusively-criminal, and any who don't toe the globalist line are extremists. It looked as if the BBC article doesn't indict the service itself, but the original story on its infiltration calls it a "crime chat network." From that story:

The system operated on customised Android phones and, according to its website, provided "worry-free secure communications".

Customers had access to features such as self-destructing messages that deleted from the recipient's device after a certain length of time.

Real criminal masterminds selling Androids with custom ROMs.


The moral of the story is: when you take a picture of your cheese, don't hold it in your palm with your fingers splayed out as if you're signalling to your agency handler to recall you from the field. Just my two pence.

It's not something usable on random criminals. In a sense it is do-not-care. If what was possible would be used for everything, everyone would be more or less aware, making it much less useful. Like the heart attack gun the CIA has since the 1960s. It's used sparingly enough for most people to not even know that it exists. (It's basically an untraceable killing method with a disintegrating projectile that induces a heart attack int he victim.)

What you describe isn't something the people with access to the good stuff would be even aware of, I believe. Too insignificant to reveal their hand.

Not sure what 'police takeover' you seem to think would occur when a moderator literally has no access to anything other than normal moderator actions. IE: Remove spam/posts, all of which is visible via the global mod log and done in a way where I can reverse their actions if I disagree with it. Not like I'm requesting help and giving someone SSH access to the box, ha.

I admit, I've slacked a bit as I've been focused more on my business project than this. I hate my factory job and am trying to grow a business so that I can support myself from it and it alone.

Feel free to pop in or create a new account in the future. Registration is open and I'm still lurking.

I know this is old, but I stumbled across this post after doing a little digging about cinch news. I came from the discord server. A bunch of the people who make stuff for cinch news network are in there, and they talk quite often. Me and a few other people have been trying to find out more about these people, as well as whether or not they're for real. Here's a link to the discord, for anyone who may want it. https://discord.gg/aYKH6sS9 They essentially seem to believe that journalists are some sort of new gender or something, and they've been saying stuff like "JLGBTQ". They also seem to believe that a journalist's opinion is right, just because they are a journalist. That sort of thing makes me think it's a joke, but after seeing how detailed the articles are on cinch news, i'm just not sure anymore. I just can't imagine anybody going this far for a joke, putting in this much work.
