In the past a Strategy of tension https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... could be kept going for years.
"Western governments during the Cold war used tactics that aimed to divide, manipulate, and control public opinion using fear, propaganda, disinformation, psychological warfare, agents provocateurs, and false flag terrorist actions in order to achieve their strategic aims"
Also see Operation Gladio https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The person might then feel their phone has been messed with in some way and stop using it just when a gov still wants to know more in real time.
A more telco friendly option might exist to keep voice on so a person calls or is called, keeps their phone on, battery in and is very trackable.
They might not have any data connection and might have some extra gov software pushed down the network.
Hours later the phone works again, the video is lost with free space data overwritten, but the person might just still keep that now upgraded phone.
Re ". . . if you're that paranoid."
We saw the free UK offer of wifi to attempt get to phones of interest under
"UK spy agency reportedly intercepted email of delegates at G20 meetings in 2009" (Jun 17, 2013) http://www.pcworld.com/article...
"... set up Internet cafes at the G20 meetings in order to extract key logging information and credentials from foreign delegates, giving the agencies “sustained intelligence options” against the targets even after the events ended."
"...allowing the reading of people’s emails before or at the same time as they do"
A few sites kept open to herd the press too, with CCTV and dat collection? All other easy to find sites closed thanks to tame telco help? http://www.theguardian.com/uk/... 17 June 2013
"Setting up internet cafes where they used an email interception programme and key-logging software to spy on delegates' use of computers"
"Penetrating the security on delegates' BlackBerrys to monitor their email messages and phone calls"
"Supplying 45 analysts with a live round-the-clock summary of who was phoning who at the summit"
In any city for local police work soon:) You connect, the gov pushes some extra software out too.
Re "I stop to wonder how many smartphones worldwide are already 'kill-chipped' in such a manner by US Intelligence Community and others already."
In other nations its just a nice, helpful, free telco feature stopping a working phone after its been lost.... built in as sold:)
The US can now brick aspects of your phone and track your phone. Still powered on and seems to work but just cant upload in a city that night. The more a person wants to upload, the more interesting the user is.
Let voice only work to see if any unlisted friends are called in real time for much needed tech help, if the media captured is described.
A person cannot upload, but the phone still seems to work and is very trackable. A gov could then send some new software down too?
Hoping a person of interest would not give up on their still working phone over weeks, months when upload ability is restored soon after.
Think back to East Germany. Even if a West German camera did look down over a city and capture a protest been broken up, the footage would still have to make it out of the area for later broadcast.
What the US gov is seeking is a wifi, cell and upload block per city zone. A member of the press would have to find their van, a citizen journalist would seek the working internet thats open to the wider public in real time if they had phone upload "account" issues;).
Be fun if working free internet was offered as bait to track all the citizen journalists? A person sees their media upload but they are now identified in real time.
The longer a person is in a dark city with real collected video of an event the more ability a gov has to spin, control or preempt the optics of an event or hunt down that lone citizen journalist.
ie your phone is on but just cant seem to upload - your now carrying a unique beacon with media that needs to be sent and are on the move.
In East Germany all the gov could do is look at TV images later and find the site used long after an event was broadcast to the world.
In 2014 all a gov with a tame telco has to do is find your phone trying to upload. The unique video never gets out anymore. The citizen journalist is swept up and phone lost.
The ability to fool a Tor user and browser into giving up an ip has been in the press over the years.
It can be as simple as DNS to an unexpected port, ftp in the distant past to proxy not been filled in, to more unique application related issues with a browser.
In the end the ip drops out and user can then be tracked over the net as expected. Back in 2007 ideas around eg an exit server looking for key words would get a real ip to users browser ie user did not disable Java.
They where looked after well by the USA and UK as far as hardware and software went. Lots of nice equipment and top quality West/German staff that got to go on work related trips to the USA to learn more about new US methods.
The problem for real German intelligence is how many of their own staff now work for the US and UK and have done so for decades.
Who did they promote, how far did they get into vital German bureaucracies and the wider German mil.
Germany cannot trust its own staff, the German tested, passed text and voice crypto has issues as used, telco infrastructure or equipment they buy from via the tame USA brands.
Lots of nice overtime for skilled domestic German intelligence watching German staff for long term contacts with other wealthy nations.
The ability to pass back that US calls where not at all secure or where collectable at times, places would have been a good task for any German working for the US with wider German security access.
The spin can be seen as to try and not ask why US communications where not secure...
The spin can be seen as to try and not mention too much about German issues with German staff working for the US.
Beyond that its just Germany collecting all as they where tasked to by the the UK and US gov since the end of ww2.
The only mystery is how many Germans work for the USA and at what levels within the wider German gov and mil.
Re: "For everyone else"
The problem is you may have to pass that area under cell tracking for some unrelated reason.
Every user that turns their phone off (battery out or turned off) near the tracked protest area will be looked at ie you where educated about tracking and wanted to enter a protest zone without your phone on.
Thats the problem with any cell device. A a vast area of use is reconstructed by gov and mil experts every phone is going to be considered.
Powered on at the protest.
Powered off before entering the protest area.
Walking to or with a person who was at the protest site or also had their phone off in a guilty way near the protest area.
The cell use map will massive over a wide area and over time. To catch people arriving early, late, meeting people or walking to or from an event.
Did they steam, upload media? If so what, where and how and to what network, where they given data to stream further way trying to hide the person who captured the true optics of the event for the press and a wider world.
Yes with most projects just follow the years of funding. Good enough tech to fund a distant color revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... but the entry end end points are still gov friendly.
Yes wow:)
As for the need to pull young people in your getting close to Young Pioneer Organization of the Soviet Union https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Paramilitary group as with Hitler Youth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The "military training contexts" as mentioned seems to stand out long term, as with the desperate drive for more basic quality science and math and beyond.
The UK seem to have consider the same need for science and to build the ranks of its gov and private sectors with:
GCHQ staff teach 'future spies' in schools (09 March 11) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/mobi...
The most basic question is why dont they all just pump cash into selective normal academic school funding as is, no questions in the press, test, guide, fund, suggest or scholarship out as needed?
Why the need now for a generation rush to push of "military training contexts" in wider public education? Whats missing or not working now? What is so needed in a few years for an entire generation?
Australia tried so hard with vast test area https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... after WW2.
The UK spent big on US equipment ideas and space related tech for its own secure sat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... option.
Both nations show its kind of hard to get gifts or buy in. Your own staff and production lines have to be set up in sync with your nations own science pace.
India really shows the science advancement option, as it started at the same time, with less and years later shows what can do now as a nation without constant costly outside help.
Lots of nations tried different ways of getting into space. Some like the UK and Australia did deals with the USA.
East Germany looked to the Soviet Union.
Long term the only way for a nation to get into space is to do do India did. Fully understand every aspect of the basic science and have your own hardware and software production, then move onto the next easy stage of space technology.
Other space nations will give you a free ride for the press or sell you tech but will not give away their own hard work.
Most spy agencies like to watch a new person as they advance, given small tests, trails, working with their handlers.
Left in place to advance and get to policy setting, overview or trusted command like level decades later without ever been noticed.
Walking in with bulk material for free and having another nation just accept it is a trap many nations have fallen for.
Any material offered might have spy bait mixed in it by default or be pre sorted to fool a nations own staff at different security levels. A nation that is offered this mix of random documents then rushes out to buy super computers, invests in new lasers or scans the skies for projects never started.
Russia has enough of its own trusted well placed people at different levels of other govs globally.
China likes the decades of very advanced education offered for free in other nations. Both outlooks differ from that of the US or UK in bulk instant 'win' of documents bought from people or from signals collected.
The planet wide signals intelligence network is great if your rushed/forced to use tame international telco like networks all the time. Other nations might just use people to travel the world and wait a week or so for a chat in person. Number stations like ideas can push rapid messages out globally.
The military commands in the EU nations are having fun driving, sailing, flying and coding advanced US provided platforms and systems at low cost.
All parts of the EU had to offer was a few shared sites with optical and telco interconnects.
Kind of hard to give up on all that free or low cost US export grade equipment over some data on some citizens when the deals where done over decades.
Think of it as an chilling free speech tracking sock puppet without the need to hire staff and have then craft online personas just to find one person a gov/mil finds difficult.
Post the wrong set of words about funding a new war, new backing of freedom fighters, the use of drones in a new entanglement, the sending of boots on the ground.
Your IP, network and OS could then face a series of limited probes until your online life was constructed, ready for a file to be passed to a real human.
Your use of a firewall, AV and encryption would just be seen as fun and be bypassed thanks to tame consumer OS developers or poor quality open source code.
Then you may face the human set "disinformation" or "effects capabilities" psychological operations and information warfare by manipulating social media, spoofing communications from an individual.
In the past you would need a team of humans to interact with an ip, person posting. Now that can happen later after more detail has been gathered - with less human guidance.
Generations of teloc shared sites and the inter connects with other nations would make that entire region worthy of huge gov/mil spending just for their own dual use backhaul. Build a hardened network and the Soviet Union would notice. Dual use and its just very new, early optical. Digital exchanges and other vast network upgrades ensure a better on average regional experience.
New filesystems and databases might show up as less people trust the same old tame providers that decrypt for the US gov as installed.
But the good news for the USA is the data will still have connect with say international billing and other US set global standards.
Thats where a system like this might be fun. You dont have to care what the backend was, just what is sent as known, expected, decrypted data.
Pulling useful data from new bespoke communications streams will be like setting the old standards. You still get to collect it all at some point in on the NSA's global network no matter how fancy nations and firms get internally.
Re 'Why didn't this come up with itself before now?" because it was all like ENIGMA 2.0 - plain text for the USA/UK over decades thanks to tame exported crypto that always had a trap or back door.
Now you have to hunt for fragments of the same messages in strange new net code. The standards are still US set, so you know what your looking for:)
Re "...they're looking for the smart people to put them on watchlists early."
Smart people can be guided into good front companies that feel private sector but get 100% gov contracts.
Smart people can be guided away from eg open source crypto projects before they add large amounts of high quality code for free and tell the world.
Smart people can be guided to open source projects that create large amounts of quality GUI code, games, charity if they want to give "back" to projects.
Its more that a gov wants a feel for its top % of students and hopes they can be shaped into needed sectors of gov/mil work or just safe rewarding private sector work.
All you need is the right university advisor or job seeking options for that top few %. Add that nice car, settle down in a city with a few contracts, buy a home and that smart person is busy for decades.
The lists are more for smart people who may uncover the tools of the surveillance state or bypass the tools of the surveillance state.
The advanced OS, filesystems, crypto efforts are best left to teams with people who are 'turned' or not too questioning.
Existing testing methods are already in place to offer scholarships, advanced maths, science places and are fully funded.
The new advanced brain scanner idea allows a new group to enjoy new fresh funding too.
You can wait for the right grant to show up or create the tech than induces new funding:)
