Five Eyes Bent On Killing Crypto

with a list of laws in her back pocket that are already capable of subverting encryption,
<stating the obvious dept.> - laws don't subvert encryption - humans comply with or exercise peaceful political civil disobedience with said laws - governments impose consequences for unsanctioned/ un-backdoored encryption, by sanction of statutes, courts, police and guns Fail to handle to your government, and you fail ... (Fancy crypto has never been, and shall never be, enough to "ensure our freedoms", though cryptech is a tool that may facilitate civil disobedience in some ways.)

A reminder of the pernicious opposition Russia poses to the USA's hegemony visions: US Military Intelligence: Russia Seeks a Dystopian World Where No One State Dominates Entire Globe http://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413cb3652f&id=dd082936f9&e=5110f4b440 We have states. We have humans who believe that states both protect them, fleece them, and provide for shiny things. And we have Russia with a current leadership that wants a multi-polar, not a uni-polar, world; I name this a "balance of powers" in the face of the human "reality consciousness" around states. Utopia is something else again ...
Any one on this list going to the dark evening of the soul , Black Hat get together in Santa Rosa the 27, 8 this month? If you are going we might g o down together ? H eavens, will they be giving out " black hats " or shall we each bring our own? With Germany dancing lawmaking with Facebook on this issue. Is there ever a time to wonder about Basic Control and the future of open communication around the globe . The fit makes tight places, not right places at all. Send me a message or a call if you want to connect and attend. With Respect and Gratitude, ilsa On Jul 4, 2017 12:52 AM, "grarpamp" <grarpamp@gmail.com> wrote:
