Excellent reading: http://www.washingto...ry.html?hpid=z2
Not really to blame the US in particular btw, most countries do the same (no wonder France & other countries acted like puppets). But the US of course have more ressources and are, among the so-called "Freedom" countries, the ones using the most torture & similar forms of pressure since 911 (The "fascislamists" won big time on that point, exactly what they wanted, even with such a trivial detail: taking your shoes off to take a plane).
Strange times:
- A peaceful world is bad for business (for some lobbies).
- Our Economics are decided by people who have absolutely no legitimity.
- Medias who are not independent anymore, mostly (Financial world).
- Those "big ears" are very much useless against the so-called terrorists (OK, they are used for commercial/trade/political spying but what a silly situation with all those US military blueprints who got hacked by the Chinese? -> I hope the US "Intelligence" had the same idea as the designers of the Concorde, inserting mistakes in dummy blueprints otherwise it's gonna be hot in 10/15 years with the Chinese appetite, lol). It's possible to hijack a plane with cutters, ammonium nitrate is not that hard to find (even myself, after my military service in this field, I likely could blow-up a building) & there are plenty other ways to communicate than with a phone or a PC.
Icing on the cake:
People could protest, but most of them would go down in the street with smartphones in their hands to post later the pics & videos on FB + Google while using Hotmail (lmao or cry?).
Anyway, next time there's an Hitler or a Stalin (that's the way History goes), he (or she, why not) will have all the right tools to play with.
Ethics, prospective ideas, where do you put Humankind in all of this, etc. anyone?
Meanwhile, Snowden is very welcome to stay in my house.
