Re Who contributes more to doling out welfare: private funded charities (including religions) or the government?
Big government and established faiths can do a lot. Cults or new faiths with religious tax findings have to be seen to do more with much less.
The cradle to retirement welfare state was to only be for a nations own. The math of life expectancy, number of tax payers, average numbers of fully eligible citizens who lived long a few extra years on average to collect. For how long into retirement was well understood and presented as fully self funding after initial funding.
Now a government will give to anyone, even people who have no national legal standing to demand any support.
Just apply. Not even a hint of citizenship is needed anymore.
Why any gov would risk a very limited funding pool is strange. If they cant vote and just take so much from limited services why rush to support vast numbers of people with no standing to apply for support? Future voters must remember the party that gave so much to them? The other more evil party tried to enforce basic application standards?
Faith based charities did in the past ask for a consideration of their faith, by praying often, by reading their free literature, listening to their leaders before, during and after free help was given. Chat downs to see if the faith was been fully and correctly absorbed
Some will demand a self help process that will ensure the person has to accept and acknowledge the role of any God before advancing and getting much needed help.
Other faiths have a cult like propaganda clauses and phrases as part of their free main texts or accepted and much less public legal teachings.
Be seen to do good in public to reflect well on the faith as it is still growing and it is best to hide its true teachings until a more secure role can be established by massive local or fully imported population growth.
Not all faith based charities are what they seem. Some just launder tax free funds for their real support base in distant nations. A very public tax free charity front is great for that role.
So big government playing party politics seeks to secure generations of new voters long term. Faith groups can be after useful converts or just trying to be seen as nice until they have political policy control or the total local population numbers to fully and directly enforce their own laws.
Big government and faith based groups often have very different reasons for big spending and helping in public the way they do.
The grassroots support will be very real but the leadership role can be tricky. As to why, its often very interesting.
Re "You've quite mistaken if you think they're the good guys!"
Hearts and minds.
Think of it as a very friendly chat at a used car yard or with a local politician, cult member.
At the end of it your going to have to buy into something.
The first line of code is always free...
Rewarming COINTELPRO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The techniques of dividing press and their contacts, whistleblowers.
Freedom of the press is now just a cover to get access to domestic contacts, whistleblowers.
Anyone wanting to contact the press now has doubts about their trackable research been found early on any computer before its ready for publication.
The press now wonders what the next fake contact with a good story will push up on their computer, network and uncover all their contacts or unpublished work.
Any research found could be a fake link to push unique malware down, any member of the press could then have a computer network that is wide open.
FIRSTFRUIT for the domestic press covering any story? The Most Intriguing Spy Stories From 166 Internal Nsa Reports (May 17 2016) https://theintercept.com/2016/...
Contractors reputations as they design, build and service vast illegal domestic spying systems?
The well educated staff at US computer brands that allowed the US gov and mil to get plain text from their best encryption efforts globally? PRISM
The top academics that hid the junk quality encryption systems and educated generations into thinking decades of US junk standards was best practice?
The political leadership that never kept up with the findings of the Church Committee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... on the domestic actions of the NSA, GCHQ and CIA?
The fourth estate, the media, the press, the profession mentioned in the US Constitution that could not like reporting on junk encryption, total domestic collection?
Lawyers who never bothered to uncover the true origins of their cases based on illegal domestic spying and parallel construction over the decades?
The US hardware manufactures than shipped junk hardware with weak encryption over generations of product lines?
The weaknesses in wifi that allow OVERHEAD to capture all and exposed all wifi users to more poor quality networking standards?
Not seeing a lot of harm, just generations of people who designed and shipped junk globally or never bothered to publish any findings or solutions.
Decades of junk hardware and software has now left networks around the world wide open.
The damage was in the practice of collect it all.
Now academics, the private sector and smarter staff working for real brands can start fixing decades of plain text access to networks than anyone could enjoy thanks to decades of policy and global exports.
Re How do you know the air conditioner vents doesn't have camera.
Most cults and inward looking communities with global ambitions have some very easy and old methods to try and counter that digital sneak and peak hardware placement.
The extended community stays around any sensitive locations and have eyes on 24/7. Or can even fake a sensitive community project for decades and understand who comes looking and how they try to gain entry, build trust:)
All strangers entering the area are noted, photographed and talked to.
If the neatness, sloppiness, jargon, slang, accent, hair cut, life story, education level, local issues, local sports, stories told, trade tools don't fit and access is requested, its usually ex mil, federal or state efforts to seek access with limited time or funding for a full back story.
Its getting harder to place undercover officers as many groups of interest are not just allowing people to join. Informants will often admit they got turned and pass on lots of low level gossip to keep their freedom i.e. the faith, other nation or cult has more of a hold than any gov offer.
All most federal and state task forces can then do is track all movements from public land, try and bluff their way in just once, get any informant with a real life story in or push malware down any network.
COINTELPRO https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... worked too well and most groups by faith or method understand the easy past entry methods.
State or federal courts paperwork on any case can even be leaked back by deep cover cult or faith members. Secure telco requests to collect or log phone numbers will often be tracked long term and database changes noticed. Very interesting people can then escape thanks to telco and court database issues.
Depends who is after the info and what contacts they have and at what price.
Law enforcement, ex or former law enforcement, private detective might all have their contacts.
The other issues is state police, federal agencies and the mil just seeking all pics online for matching faces, passenger faces and plate numbers in case they are ever seen near any sensitive site.
The private sector will often have their own security walk out and take a picture, use facial recognition, try and find a plate number.
A protester, someone doing a first amendment audit might be walking around, careful never to trespass but their transport might be within walking distance. Law enforcement may not wish to be on camera doing a chat down so they drive around until they find the plate number of interest.
Another step later is to see if the plate is on any state or federal, mil social media databases.
Private detectives also have access to very large private sector social media databases that try to offer a lot of images once and now on social media as a service.
A lot of different groups will hire private detectives to run plates and faces on any one seeking work or new asking questions. Does the resume really hold, the car match the history? Citizen journalists might have the paperwork, hair cut, accent, life story, friend on the inside but then walk back to the car and get photographed..
So on the state, federal mil and private sector, a lot of interest is in social media, any kind of images and images over the decades of media and early social media.
Removing something public from social media quickly is often too late as federal, state and private brands then have that data. An image of a license plate is all in the mix and has many interested groups collecting.
So EU users will just have to pay for a fast VPN and a set up a VPN ready router to ensure no IP ever leaks from any connected device.
All the EU will scan and log is a fully encrypted network to and from nations that are still free.
This policy allows bands, NGO's, mil and police forces to do a check sum on any and all files uploaded and downloaded with quick rubber stamp cyber warrants or self granted investigative powers.
Rather than just watching ip's and trying to find the origins, creator or uploader, this will see all files networked as equally guilty until scanned.
Your EU ISP will be a cloud AV scanner with a lot of different files to consider in real time. Best never to have any file ever exit in the EU. Your encrypted router to a VPN exits in a still free country.
The US issue of self-healing theory might not be real policy at the private sector or consumer level.
Building out to add as many consumers at a very low cost along one network is about cost savings. A one connection policy only up and down the wider network.
The gov, party political, mil elite on the upper east coast would have great redundancy thanks to contractor overspend and mil/gov policy.
The west coast would have had the rush to build networks and in theory have a few different networks still running.
The real fun part is the unpaved fly over state where east and west multinationals agree to peer. Why pay to build out redundancy for another company?
Thats shareholder cash per year been lost to a "theory". The working one link, one satellite, buying just enough shared bandwidth for expected daily data flows is the all the redundancy worth investing in.
Recall "A Dissertation So Good It Might Be Classified" (01.01.04). https://www.wired.com/2004/01/...
Three prisoners in a UK prison get to talking about why they are there.
"I am here because I trusted onion routing, and they charged me with piracy," says the first.
"I am here because my VPN leaked my real IP, and they charged me with piracy," says the second.
"I am here because my VPN worked well every day," says the third, "and they charged me with been a Russian spy."
The GCHQ was still trying to get paper files into computers into the 1970's. The US went fully digital via plain text databases thanks to better much hardware funding, staff funding and different collection issues.
When the UK was able to fully fund the GCHQ again following massive 1960's Skynet satellite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... costs and many other very expensive upgrades and creative cash flow issues, collect it all was again seen as a solution for Ireland and the world.
The NSA always got the hardware to collect it all domestically and globally. But had to hide the domestic part from the US press and some very smart lawyers who wondered about the real origins of federal and state trials.
The problem for the UK is the GCHQ/NSA sold US consumer junk encryption too well globally and the UK actually has too much US consumer hardware and software as part of its own sensitive dual use networks. Nobody wanted the secret of all consumer crypto been junk to get out so UK govs just ordered ever more junk US brands in and used junk standards for decades.
Telling the UK to remove the US consumer junk kind of gives the collect it all game away so a huge new national firewall to try and protect the low quality US code and useless hardware at a national level is now the only solution.
Filling your own nation with the junk software and weak encryption that allows the NSA and GCHQ to spy on the rest of world without any later issues was unexpected as all the focus was on collection and who to share the product with. Only the NSA and GCHQ had to be kept safe as everyone else was of great interest under collect it all.
US, EU trade deals and standardization, privatization has come back to haunt once hardened UK networks. The UK is now as wide open as all the other nations it collects all from thanks to having no UK only telco policy.
Vast, fast, wide open networks now sit on the very edge or coexist with the UK's most sensitive mil and gov networks thanks to decades of fully out sourced contractor design.
The contractors and brands that give to state and federal politicians? That ensure top paying local security, think tank, educational, mil and gov jobs stay in fly over states.
Or the whistleblowing that exposed torture, collect it all domestic spying or rubber stamp foreign collection thats really a cover for funding total domestic collection for decades. https://cryptome.org/2013-info...
Freedom of the press or party political donations? Think of the local contractor jobs, all the new 2 person teams now in work to support domestic collection.
A statement to the world about this generations privacy or contractors giving more donations?
Donations vs privacy and working encryption for the first time ever.
Donations.
A user sets they open source game, email, p2p to use the best Network Cookie speed by default every time?
Hardware is sold with a best Network Cookie speed always on setting? That would set every user on that network at top speed just for buying a new router.
i.e. the user-directed preferences was to buy a new router that sets the Network Cookie to max for every packet.
So will the providers then be allowed do deep packet inspection and be allowed to guess that email, an open source game, p2p will not be getting that "fake" Network Cookie setting after all and slow things down a lot?
Other packets will get set to max speed all them time, if they pay the networks.
Better just to let the user select from a really good provider or low cost over subscribed provider.
Then every packet is only limited by bandwidth, not later slowed by some cost cutting "Network Cookie" setting that some network or telco later flags many packets with because they can.
The end user will be left clicking "Network Cookie" settings all day only to have some distant telco apply their own rules to packets that have no expectation of speed on their network. Preferential delivery will need an extra payment.

No wonder fully intact logs, huge readable code fragments, a nations ip range and working day time zone data magically allowed to be fully discovered and recovered must be always point to a nation of origin..
Stay up late or early, the magical tool set that seems to be floating around for anyone to use and find a staging server with the perfect cover ip range...
Security experts are so quick to find this "Fantasy Bear" everywhere, in all networks, systems when called in. But to stop access or have discovery while active in any network seems to be an issue even with such perfect and rapid after event detection....
Always using the same easy to find Fancy Bear after an event, any event, all events.
Yet Fancy Bear is always able to get in with no issues, stay in totally undetected to get so much data out and exit gracefully without detection every time.
But is still fully understood by so many security experts and Fancy Bear is nice enough to be fully found in logs and ip's left all over any network it enters.
Mythically powerful on any network until the worlds' s media is quickly told it is found in full every time... Fully detected.
Who gets to set up 911 locally? Who gets to keep it all working? Who got the contracts to be on call for support? Who is very slowly upgrading the 911 networks at any cost to the tax payers over a long time?
The money made keeping old systems working is worth more than any new replacement that would have good quality hardware and software in place but need less service calls.
Why see a new system in place and more staff for real calls when that cash will be lost from local support costs.
Thats the local good news stories about keeping the existing tech working.
Other multinationals and international telco brands want equal tender consideration to rebuild the US 911 systems and will do anything to show the US public issues with the existing systems.
Multinational sales reps pushing for changes to get access to the decades of new sensitive telco contracts at all levels of governments.
Re 'It seems like the current players, just want to cement control."
Say a bad government, dictatorship, junta, company, brand, theocracy, kingdom, faith, cult is getting bad press due their own evil actions every decade. A lot of cash has been pushed to clean up the public image only to see low budget bloggers, online reporters and even the main stream press who takes a lot of ad money still report on factual events.
The freedoms that USA gave the world, freedom of speech, freedom of the press is then passed to the whims of working groups, international NGO's pushing for people, sites, words, language to be totally banned from the internet for daring to publishing or comment.
No more sites, posts, social media to slander or liable against faiths, cults, nations, people, history, leaders, political parties or events. Banning of any online comments or sites set up to push such blasphemy, idolatry, images of repression, sham elections...
Truth can now be more easily contained on an international level as a real crime in some part of the world. Blasphemy and liable against a nation, people, person or a brand and it's intellectual proprietary is then a very local legal issue.
i.e. freedom of speech and the press online will have to pass a publication test by any government, dictatorship, company, brand, theocracy that can made a coherent submission for removal based on their own vague laws or faith.
NSA like powers to find a comment or site, political cover by tame international NGO's suggest removal on grounds of faith, culture, local governments act to remove that account, site and all search results.
Everything that the USA gave the internet over decades will be lost to empowered NGO's, faiths and random governments seeking the right to remove comments, sites, news, accounts.
It would be nice to actually listen to the people in news rather than place all blame on the cyber fantasy of Fancy Bear:
"Julian Assange: 'A lot more material' coming on US elections" (July 27, 2016) http://edition.cnn.com/2016/07...
""Perhaps one day the source or sources will step forward and that might be an interesting moment some people may have egg on their faces. But to exclude certain actors is to make it easier to find out who our sources are,""
Its amazing how that well understood but really powerful "Fancy Bear" tools set gets into so many well protected networks unnoticed...
Only to be found by investigators so quickly as it is so just easy to find once it is in a network...
So rather than some all powerful, hard to track, no logs, no tools left behind method is a rather common "spear phishing" event...
The larger question is, how do you authenticate a tower? PKI? Does the SIM contain the cell network's root cert as well as it's cert from the HLR?
Same as in the 1980's handover from tower to tower as quickly and cheaply as possible from any telco perspective.
But with this the device is static or on the move and any cell phone thinks its time to hand over to the new device thats a bit stronger than the last cell tower.

Its all about the optics of excellence that a brand can bring to any very public event.
Now its about the media image or short video clip to signal excellence. The visual optics of expected excellence for that decade or year.
Under the full protection of the NDA and limited public gov statistics how a brand functions everyday can be very different.
No network drop or jump in signal with the new generations, its just almost the same power level and can stay at the new network standard as the upgraded surrounding telco towers.

But is still fully understood by so many security experts and Fancy Bear is nice enough to be fully found in logs and ip's left all over any network it enters.
Mythically powerful on any network until the worlds' s media is quickly told it is found in full every time... Fully detected.
Who gets to set up 911 locally? Who gets to keep it all working? Who got the contracts to be on call for support? Who is very slowly upgrading the 911 networks at any cost to the tax payers over a long time?
The money made keeping old systems working is worth more than any new replacement that would have good quality hardware and software in place but need less service calls.
Why see a new system in place and more staff for real calls when that cash will be lost from local support costs.
Thats the local good news stories about keeping the existing tech working.
Other multinationals and international telco brands want equal tender consideration to rebuild the US 911 systems and will do anything to show the US public issues with the existing systems.
Multinational sales reps pushing for changes to get access to the decades of new sensitive telco contracts at all levels of governments.
Re 'It seems like the current players, just want to cement control."
Say a bad government, dictatorship, junta, company, brand, theocracy, kingdom, faith, cult is getting bad press due their own evil actions every decade. A lot of cash has been pushed to clean up the public image only to see low budget bloggers, online reporters and even the main stream press who takes a lot of ad money still report on factual events.
The freedoms that USA gave the world, freedom of speech, freedom of the press is then passed to the whims of working groups, international NGO's pushing for people, sites, words, language to be totally banned from the internet for daring to publishing or comment.
No more sites, posts, social media to slander or liable against faiths, cults, nations, people, history, leaders, political parties or events. Banning of any online comments or sites set up to push such blasphemy, idolatry, images of repression, sham elections...
Truth can now be more easily contained on an international level as a real crime in some part of the world. Blasphemy and liable against a nation, people, person or a brand and it's intellectual proprietary is then a very local legal issue.
i.e. freedom of speech and the press online will have to pass a publication test by any government, dictatorship, company, brand, theocracy that can made a coherent submission for removal based on their own vague laws or faith.
NSA like powers to find a comment or site, political cover by tame international NGO's suggest removal on grounds of faith, culture, local governments act to remove that account, site and all search results.
Everything that the USA gave the internet over decades will be lost to empowered NGO's, faiths and random governments seeking the right to remove comments, sites, news, accounts.
It would be nice to actually listen to the people in news rather than place all blame on the cyber fantasy of Fancy Bear:
"Julian Assange: 'A lot more material' coming on US elections" (July 27, 2016)

""Perhaps one day the source or sources will step forward and that might be an interesting moment some people may have egg on their faces. But to exclude certain actors is to make it easier to find out who our sources are,""
Its amazing how that well understood but really powerful "Fancy Bear" tools set gets into so many well protected networks unnoticed... Only to be found by investigators so quickly as it is so just easy to find once it is in a network...
So rather than some all powerful, hard to track, no logs, no tools left behind method is a rather common "spear phishing" event...
The larger question is, how do you authenticate a tower? PKI? Does the SIM contain the cell network's root cert as well as it's cert from the HLR?
Same as in the 1980's handover from tower to tower as quickly and cheaply as possible from any telco perspective.
But with this the device is static or on the move and any cell phone thinks its time to hand over to the new device thats a bit stronger than the last cell tower.

Its all about the optics of excellence that a brand can bring to any very public event.
Now its about the media image or short video clip to signal excellence. The visual optics of expected excellence for that decade or year.
Under the full protection of the NDA and limited public gov statistics how a brand functions everyday can be very different.

No network drop or jump in signal with the new generations, its just almost the same power level and can stay at the new network standard as the upgraded surrounding telco towers. :)
