<\/a><\/p>\nWAS GOP TRAIN TARGETED BY CYBERATTACK?<\/h1>\nIn 2016, Popular Science reported that train systems are vulnerable to cyberattacks<\/h3>\n

Was the safety signals for the train carrying GOP leaders outside Charlottesville, Va., hacked to ensure the train would crash \u2013 or was the incident completely accidental?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Was the Deep State trying to send a message to globalist Republicans to get back in line \u2013 to jump off the Trump train \u2013 after the president\u2019s unifying message during the State of the Union?<\/span><\/p>\n Of course, the train crash might have been a complete accident, but nevertheless here\u2019s some of the weird circumstances surrounding it so far.<\/span><\/p>\n The timing and location:<\/strong>\u00a0The train was carrying GOP leaders, including globalists such as Paul Ryan who had previously tried to block Trump\u2019s agenda.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Interestingly enough, before the crash, columnist Michael Goodwin said\u00a0the GOP was now \u201cTrump\u2019s party\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and that the president was teaching Republicans \u201chow to fight and win.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe evidence is everywhere every day, and it was on vivid display [at the State of the Union],\u201d he wrote. \u201cThe president remains in a fighting mood, determined to keep punching his way forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n And remember, Trump\u2019s agenda is often called the \u201cTrump Train,\u201d and after the State of the Union it appears that more and more Republican lawmakers are jumping on board.<\/span><\/p>\n So was the stalled dump truck crash meant to send a warning to lawmakers to block Trump\u2019s agenda?<\/span><\/p>\n The crash, of course, happened the morning after Trump\u2019s address \u2013 and it happened outside Charlottesville, Virginia, the site of the notorious \u201cUnite the Right\u201d rally which the mainstream media tried to link to the president.<\/span><\/p>\n And here\u2019s another interesting factoid, which likely means nothing but it\u2019s interesting nonetheless: the train was a charter train, but it was operating on the Amtrak Cardinal route, which was the\u00a0successor to the\u00a0George Washington<\/em>\u00a0train<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that provided passenger service from 1932 to around 1971, when Amtrak took over.<\/span><\/p>\n Other circumstances:<\/strong>\u00a0The train was apparently operating on the CSX\u2019s North Mountain Subdivision track, which was\u00a0slated in 2006<\/span><\/a>for a \u201cmodern signal system that utilizes electronics, electric code, and radio technology.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The media is also\u00a0reporting<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that the dump truck \u201cmay have been stuck on the tracks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n So how come the train wasn\u2019t warned of the truck blocking the track, assuming the track had an electronic signal system?<\/span><\/p>\n And at the time of the crash the train was nearing a residential area.\u00a0 Are<\/span>n\u2019t there more stringent controls in place for tracks near residential areas?<\/span><\/p>\n In 2016, Popular Science reported that train systems were \u201cvulnerable to hacking\u201d after highlighting a study by German cybersecurity researchers who warned that train warning signals\u00a0<\/span>could be\u00a0compromised to cause collisions<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe flaws were exposed by German whitehat security researchers SCADA Strangelove, who have previously looked at security flaws in green energy systems and smartgrids,\u201d Popular Science reported. \u201cOne problem is that some switches require constant access to the internet, and if that signal is lost the trains stop automatically. More embarrassing, for one of the train systems they looked at there were still default passwords associated with admin accounts, leaving access to the system wide open.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201c\u2026While trains can\u2019t be commandeered and stolen like other vehicles, there is still plenty that can go wrong if a malicious attacker takes control, with delays at a minimum and train-on-train collision as the scarier risk.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
