Re How different is that from the old USSR or post-WW2 Germany, exactly?
The old USSR had a fear of West Germany been a base for another invasion. Again.
West Germany had a fear of Soviet spies and East Germans pretending to be good West Germans.
Another fear was the files East Germany and the USSR had on West Germany mil/gov and their work before 1945.
Would people in West Germany be blackmailed by East Germany due to their 1945 past? Too many people in the West German gov/mil had ww2 secret pasts.
In East Germany the fear was the CIA, West Germany, MI6, the GCHQ, NSA. CIA backed NGO groups.
East Germany also had some doubts that the USSR would really support them and was doing secret deals with West Germany.
East Germany would have had some good spies but for a constant need to support Communist revolutions around the world in really bad ways.
Nations around 1970-80's South Africa became very aware of East German spies. Silvermine in South Africa was kept busy.
The USA feared for all its billions in global collect it all spying a well placed Soviet spy was sitting in the US mil reading all the results in real time on a good US gov wage.
The Soviet Union was just still using human spies and getting results for free.
They why the CIA and NSA did all the domestic spying. They could not trust their own contractors. Everyone in the USA had to be watched for signs of contact with the USSR.
The UK was busy looking at the USSR, West and East Germany. West Germany kept UK spies very busy due to EU trade deals. East Germany was just for practice and to keep spy skills up.
A lot of UK spies got used in the USA watching Irish groups in the US sending support and cash to Ireland. That support was stopped in the US.
Every side could tell its spies they had very real reasons to be spying.
Create another Church Committee report. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
This time stop the domestic spying rather than creating a rubber stamp court to keep it going.
Thats the problem with the story.
Cuba has a lot of spies in the US gov and mil.
The US embassy in Cuba is full of spies.
Spies in place and their cover is holding.
Why do the one thing that would cause the USA to start a spy hunt?
To make the US look at the groups who want freedom for Cuba and find all the well placed Cuban spies in them?
To look at everyone in the US embassy?
To go over all the information that passed in and out of the US embassy and look for the results of spies working from that information in the USA?
Spies like to spy and they places they work at to be safe for decades of productive spying. Why induce US investigations that puts years of work at risk?
If the US wanted a good news spy story, find a Cuban spy deep in the CIA, FBI, US mil, gov. No need for phenomena and thats a real result. A win.
Start the investigations with something that media and public can understand and build up real investigations.
Re "This means you can forget about privacy."
The gov malware will just see what the user reads. Copy every word entered. Get every spoken word. Live mic, camera, location.
The user can swap out all the encryption and OS they want. The phone will have given away all data.
What would the question be after getting to the USA?
That the Cuban mil stood down to let a spy escape as a cover story.
Past what now is the CDR, police, army, to the coast, past the patrolling navy and airforce?
Turn up and show the US gov trusted them enough to have real documents?
After some conversations the next plan to spread freedom to Cuba is shared.
AC Re: The motive is strange.
Human spies need out of Cuba and into US to spy on groups that are trying to bring freedom to Cuba.
Getting out of Cuba with that real US embassy paperwork is great for a later deep cover story.
The US embassy trusted that person enough to give the needed real paper work.
The spy agency printed paperwork spies tried to use gets detected.
The embassy is one way out. Walk in, tell a good story, get real trusted papers to escape out of Cuba with.
Once in the West find other people who want to bring freedom to Cuba.
Report all findings back to Cuba.
A more long term plan used by Communists is to escape to the West and get the second and third generations to enter the US mil, gov.
Grow up in the USA, pass the few background checks now, rise up the ranks of the US mil, gov reporting back to Cuba only when really needed.
The one part Cuba needs working for decades of spying is a US embassy thats relaxed and able to give a lot of papers out so as many spies can get into the USA.
The more spies Cuba graduates as ready for missions in the USA the longer lines outside the US embassy.
The more happy and productive the US embassy staff are the more Cuban spies might get a chance to enter the USA.
More paperwork for spies is cleared per hour to enter the USA with relaxed embassy staff.
Cuba would not risk the best, fastest and most legitimate way to get lots of its trusted spies out of Cuba.
Everyday embassy work slows is another days worth of spies not been allowed into the USA.
Having US investigations start also disrupts the work of Cuban spies working inside the US embassy.
Cuba would lose it legal path to the USA for many of its spies and risk its spies in the US embassy with a spy hunt.
Think of the stress of working in an embassy like that.
Every dissident been interviewed could be a Communist agent trying to get into the USA.
Using charm and advanced social engineering to get out of Cuba and into the USA under the cover of been a dissident.
In the USA they are free to join other dissident groups and report back information to Cuba.
Every dissident could be a spy. A spy wishing to escape could be a real dissident.
Let the right one into the USA.
Sitting in front of a computer all day trying to work out who to give papers to.
Looking over scans of Cuban publications trying to find the person been interviewed. Are they with people who are dissidents or staunch Communists.
A spy thats going to spy, a real dissident wanting to escape to freedom, a spy who wants to get out of a Communist nations who has Communist secrets to give away.
Knowing that past mistakes let real spies enter the USA and they spied on into the US gov and mil for decades.
Did they just enter the embassy to spy and place or collect a listening device?
A listening device thats needs to be illuminated to pass bug sweeps? A continuous wave radar device is been used?
Hows that NN paper-insulated feeder cable going? The some monopolies existed under NN.
Lets keep NN so the some monopolies can be protected again?
NN did not result to network competition all over the USA.
Keeping NN now will result in network competition? The same competition that worked so well in the past?
Re 'specific bandwidths will be available for whatever"
The paper-insulated feeder cable is always NN compliant.
Dont let other companies build new networks. They will do bad things with no NN.
Want to start a new network?
Have to show the federal government that your service is federally NN compliant.
Got all the experts, lawyers, hardware and software in place to prove NN is supported to some US gov standard?
While all that is been worked out the monopoly telco stays in place and lobbies for more NN to keep the competition out.
NN kept the telco networks as they are now.
Why support the laws and monopolies that allow the same brands to keep network competition out?
More NN, the same telco thiefdom get to keep their networks. That one near monopoly network in your area.
Let the competition in and enjoy new network products.
Remember how well that spying and reporting worked out for all the Communist parties in 1980's Eastern Europe?
Why is the EU and NATO doing everything it can to become the Stasi and Warsaw Pact?
Why the need for SJW EU wide to use censorship on people reporting on the news in their EU communities?
Big corporations and big EU government working together to ban people talking about wanting to exit the EU?
From talking about the results of mass illegal immigration into the EU?
So now the EU is going to spy on chats and comments? Report users to the police?
Ban users accounts and conduct interviews at users place of work for comments online?
People of faith and in cults don't trust mobile phones. They have a holy book of war and secure place deep in no go areas to communicate during worship.
Undercover police are of no use in closed communities. The cell phone is not able to be turned into a live mic 24/7.
Any random recording will need translation. Guess who the new translator is loyal too? Their faith not the security services.
A book of war, barracks and a command and control structure hidden in plain sight as decades of "religious" practice deep in the EU.
The NSA tried collect it all. Went back 4 hops from every one of interests. Global collect it all is great for no bid funding and contractor over time.
If the police forces in Europe want to win learn from the UK mil, GCHQ, special forces and Royal Ulster Constabulary Special Branch.
Keep mission secret and never talk to the police, lawyers, media, courts, telco's about methods.
Define the enemy. Find out who is funding them. Find out where they have their support structure. Set up a new loyal police force to win.
Track back the funding and stop it. The UK had to stop Irish support from within the USA reaching the UK. The UK operated in the USA until all US funding and political support stopped flowing to Ireland.
Be more skilled than any other nations intelligence service and stop all the funding.
Create a file on every interesting person. Then offer the interesting person a deal when alone. Sell out and become and informant. Not interested? Special forces move in.
Keep doing that until most of the interesting people are informants.
Also remember the people of faith will be doing decades of and generational counter surveillance on the EU, police, mil.
They will try use the cover of virtue signalling political leadership opening the once secure police and security forces up to new "citizens"
No background information is not a pathway to join the police, mil.
The new citizens will remain loyal to their faith and collect all the information they can from any job in the gov, police, mil.

Why would a criminal group not photograph every person into and out of a court and police station?
With the total loss of encryption not think to add some malware to every person near a police station?
Have every face and account connected back in social media? Who did the advanced criminology course? Who only had just enough further education to stay at that rank?
Who has lifestyle problems? Gambling? Drinking? A cash flow problem? Likes been in the media with a good story?
Human weakness, investigative strengths, areas open to blackmail. Officials who are over extended with their lifestyle and who really need a big bribe.
The loss of loss of encryption will help find the undercover offices and many informants who have to report back to other officers.
To find an easy way to get a court, police job for people who are trusted by criminal groups but who can pass an exam and have not criminal background on file.
The removal of strong encryption is one of the last good protections for honest law enforcement, their communication and their informants.
Its not the criminals who trust their encrypted phones too much and will make mistakes its the police and city workers that will no longer have secure communications.
Re "going to be discarding a lot of good candidates because"
Why would a company have a system in place not to find the good candidates who are productive rather than other applicants with few of the needed skills?
What can a company do with a person once accepted who does not have the skills their resume presented?
Find workers within an organization to teach that new worker how to study for years? Then teach them how to do their job?
Thats productive workers taken away from their actual jobs and one worker getting full pay learning how to work.
Work becomes a place of continuing education that a company is expected to cover for rather than finding the productive person needed?
Work has to pay to teach staff skills the education system had not managed to?
Would it not be better to find the workers who can show they could study, could manage time to study for exams, passed their exams on merit. Showed they can do research and have had the results looked at by academics?
Real skills in the same area as their job they are applying for?
The company brings in skill sets to grow the company not new educational costs.
How complex will that be AC?
A banned site will not show and nothing more happens?
The banned site will not load and the person attempting to steal movies has their ip is passed to law enforcement?
The locked away site redirects to tell the user their ip has been passed to law enforcement and lists politically connected sites that sell music and movies?
Something to buy while they wait for their court date?
Re "the criminals the most likely to avoid all the tech with back doors? "
Criminals will respond in a few ways.
What the GCHQ always warned about, going dark, just stopping using any collect it all communications after some other gov talks about collection too much.
Criminals will use expendable front groups to bait the networks and see what agency comes looking.
Telco work in the street. A new FBI utility pole surveillance cam was installed.
A small aircraft takes off at an airport, stays over a part of the USA for hours packed with a LETC upgrade. Lands back at the same airport. Collection range was about 2 miles.
A much more advanced pressurised collection aircraft flys over the area once with a full mil grade collection kit.
Both results can be very telling about what agency was induced to start collecting.
Most of the more skilled criminal groups will just return to their family, tribe, cult, faith in their community.
MI6, the CIA, MI5 will hope that induces the use of more courrier work.
The real long term way criminals will respond is to flood the virtue signaling recruiting efforts by the Wests police and security services.
A flood of "citizens" trusted by criminals and cults will all pass tests to join the police, mil and security services. Translators and contractors are another way in.
The many that get in and advance up the ranks will stay in place and watch for new methods used to hunt criminals globally.
Any informants entering no go areas will be detected long before they start their undercover mission.
Put in the years and join projects working with international police cooperation for the next step in counter surveillance.
The police and mil will be unable to block workers who pass exams due to political correctness and party political clearances. Security protections to get a job in the security services will start to fail and mission data will walk out every mission.
The loss of encryption will be countered by criminal groups, faith groups, cults doing generations of counter surveillance at all levels on the gov, mil, police and special forces.
The few loyal police and mil will try and hide their investigations from telos, all other police, mil, gov, lawyers, courts and try and do their collection as a smaller elite trusted unit. Thats the real reason for the rise in parallel construction all over the USA. The good police and mil cant trust their own, the courts, telcos.
Criminals will use all their collection abilities in the gov and mil to find such police units..
Collection will go on but criminals fronts will be looking back at all police, mil, special forces, contractors and other agencies.
Criminals will have gov/mil access to watch most city/state law enforcement once all US encryption gets trap door and backdoor.
Its not the criminals that will have to avoid all the tech with back doors. The state and city police will be tracked 24/7 by criminals.
Internal affairs will working very hard too.
the weasel words about PRISM.
If a company never refuses the gov, legal protections never had to be mentioned.
If the brand never says no the gov, they never have to tell their own legal department.
The Rules of Collect it all Club.
First rule of collect it all club, never tell an in house lawyer.
Someone yells whistleblower, goes bankrupt, sells out, the collection is over.
No lawyers, no admins.

Collection will go on as long as it has to.
If this is your first connection to the Collection Club, you HAVE to collect it all.
How long before every well funded group of SJW will demand to add sites to that ban list?
Copyright infringement often starts with all kinds of talk about books, movies, reviews, comments on the internet.
Movie review sites?
Books about faith and cults?
History sites?
Political sites?
Law sites that list details about a nations crime rate?
Sites that review political books?
That could induce a person to consider copyright infringement after reading about a problematic book or movie.
Block the problematic site and the temptation for copyright infringement is removed.
The SJW get to ban sites they don't like and the risk of copyright infringement is removed.
Win, win for censorship.
Think of the funding within the US gov and mil for that CPU whine and just the right gif no bid contract.
The spying that could be done.
Make a staff member to load the special gif movie onto their air gapped network in some other nation.
That gif could cause just the right CPU whine to transmit data to the waiting collection microphone.
Years of gif study to create a gif for the most common cpu's. The AV would be looking at changes to the network and OS.
The resulting CPU whine would not be seen as an intrusion attempt.
Each frame of a long gif movie could make the cpu transmit different sounds and data out but that would need a lot more study.
"New air-gap jumper covertly transmits data in hard-drive sounds" https://arstechnica.com/inform... but with a lot of gif's and the cpu.
A fictional character has to save everyone from:
Aliens. Really bad aliens that don't want to be invaded by humans.
Someone in the crew is problematic and has to be reeducated.
People in the chain of command are also very problematic and they all have to be reeducated.
The fictional character will plan, fight and win the long war with aliens.
The bad aliens will have a peace treaty dictated to them so lots of humans can fly over a new tourist attraction.

Copyright infringement often starts with all kinds of talk about books, movies, reviews, comments on the internet.
Movie review sites?
Books about faith and cults?
History sites?
Political sites?
Law sites that list details about a nations crime rate?
Sites that review political books?
That could induce a person to consider copyright infringement after reading about a problematic book or movie.
Block the problematic site and the temptation for copyright infringement is removed.
The SJW get to ban sites they don't like and the risk of copyright infringement is removed.
Win, win for censorship.
Think of the funding within the US gov and mil for that CPU whine and just the right gif no bid contract.
The spying that could be done.
Make a staff member to load the special gif movie onto their air gapped network in some other nation.
That gif could cause just the right CPU whine to transmit data to the waiting collection microphone.
Years of gif study to create a gif for the most common cpu's. The AV would be looking at changes to the network and OS.
The resulting CPU whine would not be seen as an intrusion attempt.
Each frame of a long gif movie could make the cpu transmit different sounds and data out but that would need a lot more study.
"New air-gap jumper covertly transmits data in hard-drive sounds"

A fictional character has to save everyone from:
Aliens. Really bad aliens that don't want to be invaded by humans.
Someone in the crew is problematic and has to be reeducated.
People in the chain of command are also very problematic and they all have to be reeducated.
The fictional character will plan, fight and win the long war with aliens.
The bad aliens will have a peace treaty dictated to them so lots of humans can fly over a new tourist attraction.
