[cryptome] After Der Spiegel " revealed that the roof of the embassy in Berlin

[John Young]

Yes, there is finally coverage of the physical architecture of
spying not just the "digital-architecture" of slides, texts
and hyperbole.

Duncan Campbell has reported on this physical architecture
of hardware and facilities for decades and has advised
several of the journalists covering the NSA releases who
lack his experience and technical knowledge. Jacob
Appelbaum confirms, others have not yet done so, and may
be incapable of admitting limited knowledge after building
careers of knowledgeability, yes, this is about cryptology
and anonymity.

PKC and anonymizers have become a celebrity drugs.

Moreover, the valorization of comsec coding over the
physical architecture has misled both the coders and
their public about the weaknesses of comsec, a gaping
hole through which national spies have driven large
trucks to gather and transport mountains of data while
the cyber-guards gaze at online security programs,
engoring large fees for 24x7 protection, search and
destroy, Stuxnet, virii, hacks, 0-days, terrifying
kaboodle.

Keep in mind this which has received almost no
attention now or in the past:

What is online and on the roof of embassies is not
the source of most spying, that is a ruse.

Every building has a unique identification (UID) based
on its comprehensive materiality of building materials,
mechanical and electrical systems, shape, spaces,
usage, population, devices used by inhabitants (coming
and going and resting), rate of deterioration, repairs,
renovations. This in addition to official records in
a slew of regulating agencies, contracts for services,
networks, bugs, taps, implants, human spies, automation,
fautly security systems.

In effect, every building is a transceiver of its metadata
and its contents without need for the ruse of local
penetration. Just an ocean-going vessel, aircraft or
satellite. Virtually nothing is being done to prevent
this self-disclosing transceiving. Tempest protection
is insignificant, and SCIFs are ridiculous.

It is not clear if Snowden knows this or has been deluded
by the blinding conceit of cyber war and as a consequence
does not know what comsec delusion he is sincerely
promulgating to the great pleasure of those who know
exactly how to help him succeed by protesting vigorously.

Back to why Merkel, Obama and other leaders are dancing
in a global delusion of what they do not know, pretending
outrage so superficial it suggests they really can't believe
they are stooges. As do we.
