  1. Re:Well, what did they expect? on Wikileaks Receiving Gestapo Treatment? · · Score: 1
    the argument: "I have nothing to hide" is silly. insofar you are right!

    but the 'National Security' argument is actually saying: I have something to hide!

    when you have something to hide, you usually did something inproper, unlawful, indecent or outright evil and immoral.

    The US has a longer list of secrets than the library of the Vatican.!

    and most of them seem to be rightout dirty!

    please tell me where it snaps:

    being an intelligence institution, I look at the Echelon bill and sratch my head!

    then I ask: how can I avoid wading through the communication nonsense and find the needle in the haystack?

    I got to the manufacturer of routers and other network devices and ask them:

    please put this little piece of code into your machine. You do not need to know that this is a Trojan Boot Loader (TBL )

    And BTW please hand us over the list of serial number together who bougth them.

    -

    then as an intelligence agency, I send a Trojan to the router of this governement, or that industry.

    much more efficient than having to sieve through all that noise in the Internet and Telephone carriers!

    Logic says can not be:

    Secret Services/Intelligence must get information

    there is information in the internet

    where is information seeked for: in search enghines

    to know what is searched for you ought to sit behind a search engine, best Google

    and you can then also influence what is being found

    much cheaper than Echelon

    Google has a backdoor for US intelligence. China does not want this - maybe unless they also have access to Google in the US.

    Big uproar of a hack on Google makes Google stop Chinese eavesdropping on Google-US.

    Google does not block their backdoor on their services in China for US -

    consequence: either comply for a level field or leave the field.

    Everybody laughed! Now the NSA officially moves in to Google. ( Probably from the Back-Office now going in throught the Front-Door ) The perfect and low budget replacement with added target-ability saving the Services the hassle to scan through the mud of nonsense flowing in the communication traffic worldwide, the inclusion of a Trojan Boot Loader (TBL) in Network Devices.

    Put it in Routers and Switches in the form of a dirty programmed self-modifying routine nobody is able to detect it.

    When you hear that company XYZ or University MNO or government of BigBrotherHome has something interesting, you wake it up via a reply from a search engine, addressed by the serial number of the device. This TrojanBootLoader then receives its orders from Gockel or any other and everybody has the fifth colonne right in his house - even paying for it himself!

    -

    there is no absolute certainity in Knowledge! As Newtons ironclad laws of motions where shattered into fragments by the theory of relativity, so any other knowledge can only be trusted if we test it over and over.

    We can only say: this seems to be true because no one could show a case where it was wrong.

    Netwons physic was not falsified by Einstein, but left in a frame of validity of v much less than c.

    The scientific principle say: any hypothesis must take into account know facts and predict the outcome/results, best of a future observable event, by experiment or natural incident.

    it must be open published, and everybody ( capable to understand it ) should be able to repeat the experiment/observation.

    Therefore religion is not within the scientific realm.

    And climate change has one scientific problem: any human experimenter nowadays can not repeat any experiment done with our earth as a failure will forbid future experiments caused by lack of scientists to do them!
