"#Spionieren bei Pionieren" wurde für #GodsownCountry zum beliebten Modus der #Technologieentwicklung weil das eigene #Bildungssystem #Talente weder erkennen noch entwickeln kann, sondern den heimischen #Nachwuchs mit #Studienkredite|n plündert.
Stattdessen lockte man Talente aus RoW mit #ColaBurgerundStipendien ins Land. Ein Blick auf die Herkunft vermeintlicher US-#Nobelpreisträger zeigt dies deutlich.
Den Rest besorgten zunächst #Echelon, später #FB und Kollegen.
Aus der #Traum. 😵💫

Pünktlich zur Veröffentlichung der #BSI-Souveränitätskriterien für #Cloud-Dienste #C3A hatten wir das ZDF-Wissenschaftsmagazin #NANO bei uns zu Besuch im cyberintelligence institute in Berlin zur Frage:
Können die #USA europäische Bürger einfach digital auslöschen? Bankkonten einfrieren, Telekommunikation kappen? Erschreckend oft: Ja. Jahrzehntelange Abhängigkeit macht uns erpressbar.
#Echelon, #Snowden, SWIFT – die Weckrufe waren laut. Zugehört hat kaum jemand.
Nächsten Donnerstag bei 3sat.

Where are the next #generation or #echelon of Trump/Farage/Johnson/Mogg now?
And are they lost, and efforts should fall back to the following generation, or can anything be done to salvage them.
Or to otherwise protect us and our next generation? -
CW: #Ireland thoughts (I have no idea) + Many of us have talents or gifts and just need a way to channel them
I know #Kneecap music is goo
I know #ConorMcGregor might be #Ireland's best bet in some way...So both could be something of a change (could they change things, arguably they have already).
Both have done drugs though (not a fan) but the ability of those kinds of people to be honest or direct in most of their being is needed and seems not to come from elsewhere from other types of people. Perhaps mushrooms would be better / softer for us non-drug types... who might try much weaker forms.
So I'd consider the creative and combative people generally as nicer-guys (with their moments) and maybe the best leaders compared to the terrible existing ones...
I don't claim to know... other than all the bad we see and invest time in because apparently can't even make friends online (I've tried) even towards much of even our own stuff selfishly.
It's like people quit.
We might need to be lead by the terrible because the half-good isn't satisfying enough perhaps so just throw it all away / don't even both try repair it once in a while! 🗑️ 🔥
(and quitting might be a good idea really, but nobody is willing stop living, or kill themselves, and even that might no solve the self-serving stuff going on with those higher positioned above us robbing us).
We have only ourselves, the lower #echelon... I suggest we add whatever we have in the circle and keep giving / taking what we can as many of us have talents or gifts and just need a way to channel them and balance that together...

Men in Black (still MIA)
* Remembering a former soulmate...
He always wore a white or tinfoil hat (just like me). Anyways, he has been MIA since 20 August 2018 (last seen in Bodø, Norway). Missing for 6 years, 11 months and 23 days and still counting…

Wind plays a major role in cycling, since aerodynamic drag is the greatest force hampering a cyclist. In road racing, both individual cyclists and teams use tactics that vary based on the wind speed and direction. Crosswinds — when the apparent wind comes from the side in the cyclist’s point of view — are some of the toughest conditions to deal with. In races, groups will often form echelons to minimize the group’s overall effort in a crosswind. Alternatively, racers looking to tire their competitors out will position themselves on the road so that the rider behind them gets little to no shelter from the wind; this is known as guttering an opponent.
In this study, researchers put a lone cyclist in a wind tunnel and measured the effects of crosswind from a pure headwind to a pure tailwind and every possible angle in between. From that variation, they were able to mathematically model the aerodynamic effects of crosswind on a cyclist from every angle. With rolling resistance (a cyclist’s second largest opposing force) included, they found relatively few conditions where a crosswind actually helped a cyclist. Most of the time — as any cyclist can tell you — hiding from the wind is beneficial. (Image credit: J. Dylag; research credit: C. Clanet et al.)

And a reminder, that there’s one public transparency project that only this months hits 28 years (!) of continued operations - https://cryptome.org
Cryptome was one of the primary sources for #ECHELON UK-USA global communications surveillance system. Now it’s largely forgotten, but it was the grandfather of everything Snowden has leaked:
https://cryptome.org/echelon-ep.htm
There’s even a tiny Polish contribution there, from 2001:
https://cryptome.org/pl-cipher.htm
P.S. if you check when my instance’s domain was registered, you’ll probably understand the inspiration :)

In the self-proclaimed upper
Echelons of beauty, feelings
Are way down the list of
Important things to take
Care of.There are bigger
Beasts to tame;
Socials,
Parties,
Networks,
Cameras,
The right angle,
The good side,
The bank account,
The practised sneerReserved for
The little ugly people
Trying to be beautiful
With no chance ever
Of being so.Skin is thin and
Ugliness shows through
Those twisted minds
At the top of their
Imaginary ladders. -

US Domestic Surveillance Disclosures pre-dating Edward Snowden's Revelations
Asking for sources of any current activities met with some resistance at HN. Challenged for any awareness of pre-Snowden programmes, I listed a few I was aware of, off the top of my head:
Regards pre-Snowden, the situation was far more than an "open secret", there were multiple documented projects and methods employed. Among them:
2013: Hemisphere, an AT&T call records database dating to the 1980s accessible by the US DEA. (This was publicised near-simultaneously with Snowden's own 2013 disclosures.) https://www.eff.org/cases/hemisphere
2006: Mark Klein and the Room 641A revelations concerning AT&T's beam splitters: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A
2005, William Binney and J. Kirk Wiebe, NSA whistleblower, warrantless surveillance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Binney_(intelligence_official)
2004, Russell Tice, NSA surveillance including of congressional members. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2006/01/why-nsa-whistle-blower-russ-tice-may-be-right.html
There were very strong suspicions around the TIA (total information awareness) and USA PATRIOT ACT (2003, 2001). I recall much chatter about this at the time, and the related FISA court, though little by way of specific details of technological measures and methods involved.
Carnivore, a WinNT workstation-based tool, disclosed ~2000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnivore_(software)
There are telephnic data retention programmes, including MAINWAY (revealed in 2006), containing an estimated over 1.9 trillion call-detail records, and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAINWAY
Project ECHELON, with disclosures of varying aspects from 1972 -- 2000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON
There are earlier periods, notably addressed by the FBI's own COINTELPRO archives (https://vault.fbi.gov/cointel-pro), though for my purposes I'm considering "modern" projects to be circa 1990 onwards. (COINTELPRO and the Church Committee hearings resulted in substantial changes, at least publically, to US domestic surveillance).
And I've compiled a long list of pre-1990 references of concerns regarding significant technologists who'd warned of the risks of information technology as a tool of surveillance and control, largely as no such list seemed extant: https://toot.cat/@dredmorbius/105074933053020193
I'm well aware that documentation of clandestine and national security issues is difficult to come by, see the TK case for one reason why that is.
But that's also why specific documentation is so valuable and why I'd requested that.
