RE: UK Minister Says Encryption On Messaging Services Is Not Acceptable

in #news9 years ago

Thanks for this!

Once again using 'Terrorism' as the reason to push draconian laws on all free citizens of the UK.

Here's another idea...STOP BOMBING THE MIDDLE-EAST! You're creating an endless supply of Terrorists.

Sort:  

Military complex needs an endless supply of enemies. It is perfectly happy to manufacture them if they can't be found in the wild.

And about the CIA, it didn't take President Harry Truman long to realize he'd inadvertently screwed us over... https://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/peter-fenn/2015/01/28/truman-was-right-to-warn-against-cia-power

How about the Iron Mountain report for the endless supply of enemies..

I'm not familiar with that report, but a quick Wiki search suggests that there is doubt over it's legitimacy [in spite of the historical common sense premise].

Awww shucks, wikipedia is saying there is doubt over it's legitimacy, better find the report and read it to draw your own conclusions ;)

......To the general reader, therefore, the substance of the document may be even more unsettling than its conclusions. He may not be prepared for some of its assumptions-- for instance, that most medical advances are viewed more as problems than as progress; or that poverty is necessary and desirable, public postures by politicians to the contrary notwithstanding; or that standing armies are, among other things social-welfare institutions in exactly the same sense as are old-people's homes and mental hospitals. It may strike him as odd to find the probably explanation of "flying saucer" incidents disposed of en passant in less than a sentence. He may be less surprised to find that the space program and the "controversial antimissile missile and fallout shelter programs are understood to have the spending of vast sums of money, not the advancement of science or national defense, as their principal goals, and to learn that "military" draft policies are only remotely concerned with defense.

Yes, the most unsettling of logic striking giant gongs within us, first because of the confounding nature of the words but most importantly because it's simply a validation of our worst fears which deny as many want it only resonates with common sense and reinforced by logic, in each and every sentence of that despicable ethos: war is peace.
Any paragraph would do the same, any content from it's blood seeking, skin flaying, soul sucking logic would deliver subtle stabs into one's spirit:

everything is terrorism these days it seems lol

Fighting to end war is like loving to end love.

hoping to end hope?
