Mexican cartels have spyware that the Israeli government uses to spy on Palestinians and they are able to use it on Americans. They can use this spyware, called Pegasus, to get into your phone.
They can see everything you do, everything you search and they can even do what is called a “room tap,” meaning use the phone’s microphone and camera to spy wherever the phone is. Here’s more from Natali and Clayton Morris on Redacted News.
A vast spyware called Pegasus, used by governments around the world to track, trace and listen in on journalists, activists, politicians and citizens, has been exposed.
Originally used as spyware to track terrorists, Pegasus is now being employed to trace opponents or anyone that’s anti-establishment or against the narrative in general. Even Edward Snowden announced on Twitter that this could be the biggest story of the year. “Nobody’s surprised,” says Josh Sigurdson of World Alternative Media. “In fact, most of us assumed they were doing this, but nevertheless, this is more evidence of what we might call a global world government.” He breaks down the breaking news and asks the pertinent questions in the following report.
What has Edward Snowden shouting “Story of the Year” but 17 news outlets joining forces to fight? Let’s learn more about the Israeli software firm Pegasus and how this company might have been tracking journalists from CNN, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and Associated Press, among other major mainstream outlets. More from Lisa Haven and Restricted Republic.
What is Pegasus? It’s a malware that infects IPhones and Android devices to enable operators of the tool to extract messages, photos and emails, record calls and secretly activate microphones. The manufacturers of the software say they are innocent. It’s the dirty regimes that buy the software that use it to eavesdrop on journalists, or exterminate dissidents or rule with an iron glove.

Hey kids (of all ages), it’s Saturday Morning Cartoon time again!
A few weeks ago I featured the YOUNG SENTINELS / SPACE SENTINELS, one of Filmation’s rare ventures not involving licensed properties. That show was a single season and mostly forgotten, but one of its characters was recycled the next year in the FREEDOM FORCE, which was broadcast in 1978 as part of the TARZAN AND THE SUPER 7 cartoon block. The oddly Nordic-looking version of the Greek demigod Hercules returned, now riding Pegasus, the winged horse.
Now, why Hercules, who possessed the ability to fly under his own power with the Sentinels, needed a winged horse here is a good question. But Pegasus has always been too popular an image to be confined to the lesser-known hero Bellerophon, his original rider. So he’s been associated with bigger stars like Perseus. (Who didn’t need a winged horse either, since he had the ability to fly thanks to talaria he wore.) Strange paring him with Herc though, as one of the strongman’s legendary labors involved killing Pegasus’ nephew!
Filling out the team were generic versions of public domain characters Merlin and Sindbad… Along with “Super Samurai”, who was sort of a less sci-fi version of ULTRAMAN, a Japanese guy who could transform into what appeared to be living, giant samurai armor.
Probably the biggest “star” of this little group was ISIS, an animated version of the super-heroine from Filmation’s 1975 live-action, Saturday Morning show, originally shared with SHAZAM. The animated Isis would pop into Filmation’s HERO HIGH a few years later… By which time the mere five episodes of Freedom Force would already be slipping into oblivion. More from the OldHorseman.
