Israel used the Iranian police state's own surveillance cameras to kill Khamenei.

[deberupts@mastodon.social]

So here's the lesson for all those wanting to build large networks of surveillance gears and cameras, who like how these can be used to monitor and control a population. Some day, no matter how good you think you are at securing them, somebody will be better. And they will use your police state tools to kill you. 3/3

hmmm

considering he lived to be 86 as head of a state of terror for decades, i don't think this message is as encouraging as Financial Times thinks it is...
evil doers killing other evil doers ain't gonna save us

justice delayed remains justice denied, he died swiftly & perhaps never knew what hit him

what wanna-be dictator is going to look at his life & say he lost? if he was 36, sure

@peachfront @DebErupts
I'm trying to understand your point, do you mean this wouldn't have happened to a younger target? Are you implying Trump wanted to kill an old man specifically because it would be more fair to dictators everywhere?

[rndanger@infosec.exchange]

@peachfront @DebErupts
(How old is Trump?)

@peachfront It ain't justice without a trial. It's just a war crime. It doesn't matter how we dress it up, we're the aggressor massacring hundreds of innocent people in order to interfere with another sovereign state's internal affairs. We're evil plain and simple.

@DebErupts looks at next door neighbours ring doorbell and then at the CIA... Yeah... Don't even need the government to build it if you can persuade people to spend their own money on them.

@emily_s @DebErupts why we need regulation on cars and data transfer. Been yelling about this regarding Tesla since the talks of annexation (but they aren’t the only car brand with tonnes of cameras, but they are heavily invested in US Imperialism)

@RnDanger @DebErupts

i'm not implying i'm trying to say what @caolite said better down lower in this thread -- "It ain't justice without a trial. It's just a war crime..."

i'm also trying to say that telling dictators they'll meet God at age 86 means nothing, most good & decent people are already dead by then, it's just not a threat, is it? if they're in their 80s, they already know they're going to die, & being shot down is not the worst way to go at that stage (dying slowly of dementia is)

All of this was field tested in Gaza.

all of this technology.

It is why Pete Hegseth exploding an anger at any public discussion that the military is working to engage in mass public surveillance US citizen well as automating kill chains.

This is their goal to have an automated military system of total public control, and subjugation
