While this may be an insult to cypherpunks cryptoanarchical origins
   it could be saluatory to occasionally set aside state perfidy to look
   more closely at the private sector which reaps most rewards from
   state obsequiousness toward industry, politicians and their backers
   of wealth and the "non-profit" organizational tools of the wealthy,
   from
   mendacious very smark and crafty individuals, particularly in comsec
   and infosec and above all else, natsec and anti-natsec, out to work
   all sides by getting in bed with all of them, serially and
   simultaneously.
   Private sector spit swappers are as ubiquitous and deceptive as
   privacy policies, anonymizers, backdoor coders, covert device
   implanters and highly reputable hustlers of public interest, the
   skilled and avid publicity seekers avowing protection of the populace
   against exploitive gov-com-edu-org-religion hoodlums.
   Under cover, over cover, these wily coyotes switch allegiances
   like hipster clothing and manufacture bar-pickup promises: take back
   the net, https everwhere, fight the spies, lengthy-key encryption and
   shyster key sharing, anon-routers and deep black statelessness,
   black white and gray products boundlessly offered free to siphon user
   data then paid for dearly by black market buyers, then blame the
   foreign
   hackers cover-up aided by AV predators press releasing APT
   proofs of countermeasures marketability right here.
   What with the profileration of trade schools for coding mastery
   in a few weeks, there is quick money to pound the rat button for
   more hack, privacy and comsec attacks, more calls for intervention
   by everybody everywhere to Ebolaize cyber plagues beyond control.
   Against profitably orchestrated terrorism and disease panic attacks
   Cypherpunks said it then, avow it now:

   "Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write
   software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless
   we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our
   fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free
   for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve
   of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed
   and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down.
   Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption
   is fundamentally a private act. The act of encryption, in fact, removes
   information from the public realm. Even laws against cryptography
   reach only so far as a nation's border and the arm of its violence.
   Cryptography will ineluctably spread over the whole globe, and with
   it the anonymous transactions systems that it makes possible.
   For privacy to be widespread it must be part of a social contract.
   People must come and together deploy these systems for the
   common good. Privacy only extends so far as the cooperation of
   one's fellows in society. We the Cypherpunks seek your questions
   and your concerns and hope we may engage you so that we do
   not deceive ourselves. We will not, however, be moved out of
   our course because some may disagree with our goals.
   The Cypherpunks are actively engaged in making the networks
   safer for privacy. Let us proceed together apace.
   Onward.
