The criminal liability of NSA, other spies corps, orgs and comsec wizards in de facto complicit deception and exploitation of the public is a worthy topic to drag out of the hideaways. It might be demonizing of the valiant code warriors to be described as a Racketeer Influenced Criminal Organization operating under the cheerfully duplicitous Open Source. Open secrecy is the main tool of these sub rosa hoodlums, Mafioso mathematicians wiggling out of responsibility by algo shadiness and protestations of public service on behalf of working around censorship to free the slaves for better use producing cream for the privacy milkers. Top of the cream milkers adopt the aggrieved innocence when caught red-handed rustling public cattle, hello Mr. Bundy. So sue me, they laugh, knowing no jury could possibly grasp the arcane lingo the bozos use to semaphor signals about their nefaria promoted as good for the commonweal. Subsidize us, befuddled citz, kachink. A huge market ripoff, comsec, privacy and freedom of the Internet. Simple beginnings with a few crafty ne'er do well engineers, mathematicians and scientists, avoiding penal labor in labs, factories and spynests, setting up a quiet racket to control and monetize crypto, comsec and privacy while selling hacks and snitching to the fuzz downtown. Which has produced a boom in profits and reputations for the TLA- and nick-named coders, hackers, exploiters, leakers, promoters, apologists, yes, even populist heros and awards winners from Anonymous to Alexander to Snowden and this very list of who's who in wily coyotes. Code-wielding Corsicans never had it so good since the opening of the Internet frontier to unfettered gangsters claiming to be comsec enforcers for Judge Roy Bean west of Silicon Valley). Just saying howdy to my gang of cypherpunks free rangers for whom working around law-enforcement fences while informing, backdooring, and cheating on each other is top secret code of silence Omerta.
