It goes back to the cold war and a very long term way of thinking.
The more you help people with your brand, the more they will be imprinted with liking you no matter what.
So you see many parts of the world reaching out to offer aid even when they are in need of aid.
Vietnam, China, East Germany gave farm aid and advice, Taiwan does at lot of great work too. Then you have the classics of the UK, USA and Soviet Union.
Why the aid? If they help the grand parents with simple work, their children might get better jobs and grandchildren might just make it to some top bureaucratic/public/private position. When they hold billions of aid money in one hand and have billions worth of infrastructure projects on their desks... anything to sway a person at any level helps.
Add in listening stations, bases for freedom fighters, stopping a sphere of influence forming in a part of the world with useful, cheap resources.
Then add in training programs, jobs back home making the aid flow, the ability to inject spies as aid workers...
It was always seen as win, win, win - good edu jobs at home, stopping the bad people and making the world safe for US products and services.
Now other embassies in the region will be rushing to fill the US aid void. The happy locals will welcome their new buildings under other flags and pass by new plaques as they are educated.
The story of been dumped by an old friend will be passed down.
Its been a "US-style" for sometime: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird
Its just Canada is more clumsy in its handling of a simple questions.
The US has always been proud of science and getting the press to see its hardware, feel good weather, nature studies.
Gets the smart kids interested in science and makes them trusting of the Military–industrial complex
Its chilling to other firms,.coms. IT people, admins, owners, isp's. lawyers, accountants- everybody screams out -
Log everything, makes sure its easy to get the data, keep everything, if we cooperate we might get our hardware back sooner, did we do due diligence on users?
The ex NSA, GCHQ, DIA, CIA, cyber command - could do this in a nice way as contractors.
Feel that push for CISPA to get real telco immunity? The company is protected from users and the feds get CALEA++++ like access.
Until then its "Alright sir, I just need to check inside your sever."
Yes, you're a smart admin, aren't you sir?
Yes the UK wanted to keep the public away from the 'we broke the codes' in ~near realtime ww2 spoiler.
How would other countries, new, large, small, friendly, neutral view the news?- would they all take on the effort for extreme generational crypto security and make the job of a less well funded GCHQ not so easy?
The UK also had a few hundred years practice in blackmail and felt Turing going on some European holiday was a security risk.
Who would he meet, who would seduce him, what might maths, machine and ww2 topics cover....
At some point his unique skills vs the risk of Soviet interest might have tipped as more people understood the new maths and computing.
He was a risk and not unique anymore.
The 1996 movie "Breaking the Code" is a good staring point http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115749/
Well, he's not functioning the way he normally does. He seems depressed. He's lost his appetite.
He's even curtailed his autoerotic activities.
And we think this is directly related to the laptop with you the other day.
So, so what do you want me to do?
Well, frankly we'd like you to run some AV.
Yeah, well he hacked me.
Mr. K, he is an innocent primate.
"Avoiding the Privacy Apocalypse" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSYXw87BWXo
Learn how Clinton era laws opened world wide telco interception as US firms wanted a level export price with the EU equipment makers.
Why should one side have to add expensive backdoors and deal with all the short term upgrade costs?
Learn how individual French school children where to be tracked and profiled by the state and what the UK wanted to do with every IM, email in real time.
The govs saw what keyword ad tracking by privacy loving US.coms could do with every word submitted -
they expected the same access.
The video is just a talk, no Q and A at the end;)
Yes the FBI and CIA have the skill set to talk to anyone and work on a case as they have always done.
Work with us, face court, a package of court options or payments or one last set up and freedom.
The rush for the US to normalise "interrogations" seems to be to provide cover for past political actions, the work of allies and friends around the world.
Why allow free internal FBI methods when you can sell/contract expensive, tested "interrogation" methods?
All the guards, hidden sites, weapons training, translators, science, documents, medical advice, food - everybody around this new private security science is making 'new' cash.
vs a % budget growth within the FBI.
What did the Soviets offer? Death or a better life in a sealed elite science city/camp.
WW2 Germany? A uniform, party links, funding or risk falling out of favour and been consumed in lesser projects.
Post WW2 Germany? The French gave skilled Germans a factory job with the hint of going home.
The US offered a Paperclip like deal, a clean file, a new life or risk a court in Europe or Russia.
Diesel Therapy - moving people around in stress positions with no sleep, food, meds... lost in the system with your lawyer making calls.
Moving people around the jail system in cold, un cleaned cells for a few days- make a fuss and you get restraints and meds.
Mix in some pain compliance along the way and lost more paper work...
You are then found, re united with your family, good legal team and then get a one time offer to sign away years and inform...
Mix in state and federal, get bail form your state and a face federal case as you walk out... no refunds.
Can you still afford that fancy lawyer? Risk a federal court with a 85%+++ conviction rate?
Now the laws for the "duration of the armed conflict" set in... welcome to the mystery that could be "indefinite" and a new type of legal team. i.e. "You Don't Get a Lawyer"
In other parts of the world your company might lose the next rocket contract. People get laid off and you face a slow social death.
No more luxury home mortgage, good schools, real health care, designer brands, trips around the world, dreams of sailing, country club, golf, that expensive secretive self improvement 'cult', great food, sports...
Back to been a home appliance/toy/small projects engineer in an ok neighbourhood, ok public schooling, no real health cover, no holidays, no social standing, average food, endless public charity work with no more secrets or connections, no more insider "tips".... but you still have the bank loans...and new endless stress
Unless your glorious state of federal leader can step in and fix that paperwork misunderstanding and boondoggle your company back into rocket contracts...
He writes long suits and he's coming to sue you
Degree on his wall and I can assure you
There ain't no court where a lawyer can enjoy his ruling in Deutschland.
Now he's quick with an injunction and he's fast on the standards and in America he is the law
He don't know a word of jurisdiction, everybodys safe when Microsoft's near.
Put a case on him now, in front of the court, showing us where the patents are
There's one thing you must understand, Microsofts the law in Deutschland.
He was part of a firm, he could do it
As hard as a rock was Microsoft
To say the things that they have done, made them firm number one.
Apple - you had to invite them in and then a cult like upgrade cycle makes the cash flow.
Google - an advertising company with 'open' cover to welcome in developers - track most users most of the time.
FB - an advertising company with 'generational' cover.
MS - the first hit is OEM/educational pricing and they have your boss on an upgrade cycle.
The idea that "something a little off" does cover the path of arrogance left by MS over its long twisted history.
MS wanted the OS, fonts, productivity, the home hardware with its OS, servers, security, the safe cloud, media, games, telco, ads, the web - and once the trust with users, their data, developers, the press, start ups, small and large rivals, standards is gone - its gone for generations.
No amount of very public charity work, tame press, "open information" bait, almost free offers, discounts, cute new products and toys can bring a brand back.
It would let the firm/gov see everything you may keep private. Images, friends, interests, chat logs - depending on service e.g. IM, web 2.0. Links, fan art, body art, politics can all be hidden under some 'clean' public versions of sites.
That clean site of a 30 yo with security clearances, a nice family, an open source project as a hobby and a musical background...
Might have a long lost hidden/forgotten/friend/past developer with...... interests that could make them very very risky.
The family and/or leadership of 'bad' country. The boss of a 'bad' company. The boss of a 'bad' area exporting drugs/weapons without state support. The top science person of a "bad" research centre.. That lone wolf blogger who "was" somebody/got a real story....
You really think all the interest in home wireless is just to watch your web cam, track your power needs and log your mail/web 2.0 use? http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/03/petraeus-tv-remote/
The digital worlds version of subprime? You roll a lot of "new" data into a big file and sell it in bulk as a US identity pack.
Its then used, sorted, sold on by persons or groups interested in unique or state wide data.
South Australia is a fly over state, a state capitol of churches and serial killers - a vast sprawling suburban evangelical faith base. The better part is packed with old expensive sandstone private schools - also very faith based.
Year after year a wealthy 2 party political machine has to find support - expensive, blood soaked games are an easy issue.
Political parties in Germany got funding to stop the "Communists" - US funds did flow into Germany.
Small German political parties got funds for new trucks, rallies - http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/sep/25/usa.secondworldwar
The US invests in people - Latin America, Asia, Africa - the cold war was full of strong friendly dictators, keep going back a few more years...
Yes for generations the political class where told not to harm the mastery of quality info - from pre ww2 Soviet embassy codes, ww2 German codes, post ww2 global SIGINT.
Just let it flow and plan. No court, media, books, public spy ring trials- just sell the world cheap information technology and enjoy been one of the best with breaking, sorting and understanding.
Now the old problem of "we can use this in court" seems to have finally won over in the UK.
People will slowly feel they live in some 1960's Warsaw Pact fantasy- the gov is listening and people are getting arrested.
Then 1970's Warsaw Pact reality- the gov is listening, work is not keeping pace with the basics of life and people are getting arrested.
Finally mass arrests and the need to seek out networks of protesters... SIGINT will be useless then.
The days of cheap computing via Sinclair and the BBC Micro where squandered and are long lost. The USA now owns computing.
If the UK wants to rule computing again they have to find the hunger and arrogance of been a small island facing a big Spain or France again.
Work out what England wants, change the rules and win.
If all the USA can offer is "program or be programmed" i.e. digital slavery built in distant sweatshops, find a Wilberforce, abolish the trade and rule a new eworld.
Option one is to think like South Africa back in the day and loop your flights way around to avoid many other countries.
The problem is that US has signed Mexico and Canada up to so many security deals, funding, training - you will submit to a glow and feel up.
Option two - use the internet to do your deal, have lawyers sign for you and re think your needs.
Asia, Africa, Europe, South America are all fun, friendly and welcoming.

Now more devices have network connections, firewalls are on average consumer junk sitting on consumer OS.
Your "Internet of Things" is now open to the CIA inside the USA.
The noticing the traffic would just be the usual data that that a new device sends back for recipes, extended warranty, new, exciting apps and all the data needed personalizes the experience. All that unique data might just flow back via a fed sever onto its usual ip - your fancy Linux/Mac/Windows firewall would see nothing.
A log of faces, sound, location and temperature aware ads http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/03/23/google_mobile_ads_patent/.
