The front companies (telco, computer, legal, press....NGO) setup, funded and supported by the US gov, the big celebrities shaping pro 'military' scripts, respected US academics ensuring junk crypto over generations via covert payments, CIA and MI6 running "freedom fighters" around the world that would not be common knowledge, drug funding for weapons sales to support freedom fighters. Passports and networks that allow for freedom fighters and their logistics to move globally.
Long term unexpected allies, funding thought to be politically or for faith reasons to be totally unworkable - US docs could show diverse groups be getting on just fine at an intelligence service level and complex funding.
The totally subversion of many friendly and neutral telco/crypto/intelligence/gov staff working against their own govs/mil over generations.
Telling their own countries mil and top political leaders at a personal level that their crypto was 'safe' - i.e. knowing/sharing/helping spread totally useless crypto.
Think of the work to ensure no version drift in tracking, installing, upgrades or efforts to fix broken crypto - a lot of skilled local staff have to be kept very tame for that.
Hunting people down once they safe in your country under your protection makes your part of the world seem unsafe in the future.
Most defectors and people who got out where given pensions, new identities around the world and where sort of safe.
You can then enjoy the win of the press reports and the PR bonus of keeping the person safe.
It also interesting to see what other countries try to activate in getting to the person of interest.
Its more like a convention on torture, arms deals, sanctions, human rights.
Not much the UN can do, but most nations like to be 'seen' as voting together in positive ways.
The US could have passed this and if ever asked just told the press any hardware/software was for "police" cooperation, a military "sale" or joint exercise or the US been "invited" in for telco upgrades.
The press optics of this is strange, the US always seemed to play the UN a lot better.
The world knows the past of a China and Russia/Soviet Union. The world knows telco and networking the reach of a China and Russia. They are limited in their total global reach per country. As Snowden and many others show, only the US and UK can really peer, buy, trade or surround the more interesting global telco interconnects.
Lots of governments have total mastery of their own networks but very few have total mastery of the world wide telco/internet crypto.
It is really only the US and UK who have become addicted to signals on a global scale and now can't escape global comment on their now very public actions.
China likes trade, eduction backed with loans and local political support to gain influence.
Russia likes the individual with the correct ideological, human weakness or cash flow issues that make them willing to sell out to gain insights.
The US is really the one country left with one very expensive trick thats lost all its magic - signals intelligence.
The rest of the world is slowly looking at their own intelligence services/telcos and seeing nothing but collusion and collaboration with the UK and USA.
Junk crypto with codes and methods been passed around/sold by ex staff. Their own staff are not protecting their vital national crypto interests anymore.
UN votes like this just say no to mass outside surveillance - on their citizens, on their companies, on their banks, on their telcos, on their political parties, on their faiths, on their trade deals.
i.e. a China and Russia do not really have to care, all their 'other' options are working just fine.
Most other counties just want their expensive telco equipment to be safer from "ex staff"
They are in NATO and have very strong sharing links for signals and telco taps going back to the 1980's with in the EU and for the UK and USA going back decades.
Generations of top cleared staff got the keys to their countries telco networks for 'spy' hunting.
Generations of top cleared staff got the keys to their countries telco networks to help allies...
There was always feel good feedback to the local teams or a perfect cover story for the split/hardware/sites/code.
Who do you report to in "your" part of the world about a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A ?
Top staff would be in on the cover, lower ranking staff would not have the clearance and trust that its just 'contractors'.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_and_Mitchell_defection in late 1960.
"Our main dissatisfaction concerned some of the practices the United States uses in gathering intelligence information... deliberately violating the airspace of other nations... intercepting and deciphering the secret communications of its own allies..."
There where so many hints going back to the 1960's - both in terms of physical world wide hardware, books, magazines, interviews.
The only conspiracy was getting to publishers, courts, the press, academics and ensuring 'less' got out until the 1970-80's.
The other conspiracy is all the staff in so many nations been trusted, paid well, given great pensions and having top clearances, setting crypto standards seem to have been more interested in helping the US and UK.
If the US and UK where allowed 'in' - who else got the codes, the cell or exchange computer links, setting taps codes or been warned of when a number was under investigation.
Re Why - Chai Keng, Singapore, RAF was used by the ~GCHQ from ~1945-71 as a "black station" hidden under RAF site cover.
i.e. Singapore and Hong Kong where both open to the UK and the US was very interested in the flow of regional Russian signals.
The motivation is the same as an Australia, Canada, NZ or other EU country - after generations it becomes 'tech' addictive to support the UK and USA.
Top staff like the trips to the UK or US and seem to get on better with the UK and US than their own govs.
Very few nations get spy data - only Australia, Canada, NZ, UK really had that dreamy top position. Other nations offered their entire countries telco infrastructure to the NSA for the hope of 'consideration' in other mil areas. Trade deals, help with telco sat deals, help with mil signals (vs all telco taps), US mil equipment - the US always ensured some non crypto "thanks" for the top mil staff of helper nations.
The 'monetary gain" would be more in insider trading - at an individual level been seen to be so lucky and would stand out.
The 'monetary gain" at a national level for been so trusted by the USA for regional sat/telco work would be massive.
The "right thing to do" - all nations know what happens when you trust your codes and telco system to another outside power- your staff get divided and political leadership is betrayed by its own trusted tech staff.
More as a generational habit that top staff get to share into at a set rank or clearance and their private/gov telco helpers - a crypto cult that spans 10's of years and flows in one direction - back to the USA.
Re flood the programming market with cheap labor to keep wages down.
Yes thats all the end game really is. To turn CS from been well paid in the US towards a zero-hour contract form of interchangeable staff on much lower level wages.
The rest is just for domestic consumption re "education" and to keep visa laws open and entry numbers up.
Another "fear" filled story makes slashdot.
Yes the US always went for the dictator, junta leader, president for life, faith group, royal leadership or cult to ensure no other real democratically elected leadership would take hold in interesting parts of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covert_United_States_foreign_regime_change_actions
The UK, France, Australia, Vietnam, China, Russia for example seem to able take a more long term view - work with any gov and flood people with aid, construction, help emerging governments, spread trade, systems and weapons sales, branding and skilled spies.
The US had the option to shape about 10-30 years with local "US Friendly" dictators before they fail at a local or international level.
Now the US seems to want to re open bases or rent/share new bases with "aid", "containing" China or some regional 'help'.
An emerging global Asia knows what that kind of US pressure can do to their leadership and trade deals via 'bases'
China knows the US is trying to contain it like the US did with the Soviet Union - surrounded by US bases and influence.
China understands the waterways and trade flow and hopes to keep as much open to China as it can.
Who will win?
China just has to claim to some local resource rich islands and tell the world about China having longterm links to the that region.
The CIA can always play/stir up the "separatist" card in remote parts of China, stir up vast 'color' protests and have the international TV crews capture the resulting optics.
The Communist party in China is then distracted and has to focus on domestic issues.
Japan will do what the US tells it.
Cold the NSA and GCHQ put that junk encryption in place, sold it to the world. Australia, contractors, ex staff are all using the 'keys' for their own ends.
All Snowden did was tell the world so more skilled people can fix the junk sold to them by US brands.
It depends on who is working for who and who is funding what.
NGO, color revolution, 'spring' uprisings, human rights stories in select countries are great.
Talking about peace, drone strikes, protests, contractors, press rights, law reform could gain traction in other countries. No Western gov really wants to see that kind of real time interaction form in their countries on web 2.0.
So you do all you can to protect the "freedom" protesters with good crypto in select distant areas but ensure the NSA and GCHQ always have the keys.
If your protesting a gov selected for a color revolution enjoy top quality encryption.
If your protesting a gov funding a color revolution: No encryption for you.
LOL Cold, the US helped Indonesia clear out most of its "Russian" influence back in during the Cold War. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_activities_in_Indonesia
China in the region is doing what China always did - longterm investment, aid, trade and gov friendship.
Russia is learning to follow China in the region with - longterm investment, aid, trade and gov friendship.
Snowden adds nothing new to what Indonesia or any other country knows of the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD was Defence Signals Directorate DSD) or NSA capabilities in the region.
The Timor issue showed Indonesia Australia had total mastery of all Indonesia military communications systems without needing US help.
Indonesia knows what Australia can do on its own and what the NSA gifts to Australia re Indonesia signals and telecommunications.
Like Germany the only question for Indonesia is why did top Indonesia crypto staff let Indonesia political leaders use the junk phones....
Cold the release of papers of the 1984-89 Labour Prime Minister (David Lange) showed all in Asia just what the NSA and NZ Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) where doing. A highly classified annual report made it to the press and showed what NZ could do France, Japan, the Philippines and parts of the South Pacific - total telco access for NZ up into Asia.
This is nothing new for Asia, nothing new for Indonesia wrt to the NSA, Australia or NZ, nothing new for Australia.
Australia knew it could do what it wanted in Asia but also knew not to upset the one country in the region it worked very hard to be on good terms with.
i.e. no political chaos just Russia, China with stuff to sell and the US trying to keep Indonesia as a client state. Australia trying to keep the US happy and still be part of a growing Asia.
Thats always been the NSA/GCHQ way. They get to the US/UK brand, leadership, developer and ensure their tame firm always wins.
Price, gov support, removing real competition, giving 2-3 "selections" internationally.
The method that they can turn to plain text or track or decode becomes the standard. No need to break anything if the world uses your code generation after foolish generation:)
1. Fill your ISP logs with TrackMeNot http://cs.nyu.edu/trackmenot/
2. Know the US brands that willingly and knowingly helped the NSA and run any different OS/file systems.
3. Learn to think like a protester in 1980's Eastern Europe. Just keep been political active and know its all been filed, linked, watched, tracked, logged.....
Voice print, face scanning, OS, telco, ISP, cell tower tracking.. how many millions is been created/printed and spent on overtime and "cleared" contractors per person
4. Pay for other brands that are more privacy aware.
Re any real import?
The telco codes are weak for any group/country to use as the NSA and friends did.
The global competitors will have to do a better job than the existing US products and prove they are not equally compromized.
US telco/networking brands will never be trusted again but US web 2.0 will be enjoyed.
The quality of use of US brands is over. Its products are still fun just not useful to many nations anymore.
Its not so much leveraged as people wanting their phone networks back, their banking back, their rights back, their domestic politics safe from expensive junk US tech.
In the long run expect to see the US try and influence any new brands well outside direct US control- from to staff, NGO work, colour revolutions and coups - anything to stop viable non US/UK crypto from emerging and gaining too much traction.
The more people around the world study crypto, the more malware that is found in the telco systems the better.
Think of it as a global clean up of useless encryption and codes, expensive telco systems and junk gov set international standards.
Everything the Australians use is for sale on the global market to any wealthy corporation, individual, faith, cult, criminal group, contractor or other random govs.
Ex staff and former staff who used this tech are selling it globally - so better to get it fixed globally.
Over time: better codes, better OS, more legal reform, press coverage and political insight will help with "your" 4th amendment rights too.
Indonesia knew exactly what Australia signals intelligence could do during Timor ~1999.
Regional radio traffic was well understood by Australia. Indonesia knew of Australia having both NSA help and its own internal radio tracking efforts with teams of skilled linguists.
The Snowden news added nothing new to the mil history aspect.
Yes the UK and US sell weak encryption, give the keys to Australia and Australia goes and 'plays' spy in the region.
The problem for Australia is they where very nice to Indonesia in public pre Timor, over oil, gas, during and after Timor, with unique security agreements, generations of military training and lots of aid.
Now the usual sock puppets try and spin 'blame' Snowden on the release:)
Australia could have been more diplomatic over the issue but selected the classic Dutch, cold war CIA/Moscow 'talking to' Indonesia approach.
Decades of hard diplomatic work by Australian govs is now been lost over wanting spy gossip. Russia and China will be back in the region offering their tech help, trade deals, friendship and regional expertise.
Indonesian experts have learned not to trust crypto offered and will work harder to protect their networks.
Australia is left looking a bit lost. The UK and US trusted Australia with the keys to crypto, Indonesia was on good trade terms.
The main problem for Australia is they only had one good trick - the NSA magic and deep reach for all regional signals. Now the region knows and Australia is back to been seen as a colonial outpost, a listening station for the UK and USA.
Please self publish, tell the world, smart people will look into your work and fix issues over time.
Your work would also help people learning computer security.
