About security

I live in a secure environment. Zürich, Switzerland, Europe. Yes, some of you may say I live privileged. You are right. The majority of humans lives that way here around. Reasonably, I suppose that is true for a big part of Europe, USA and other capitalistic western countries.
I define security for this purpose as protection of starving from hunger, to be killed by war or a terroristic attack. Yes, it is likelier to be killed by a huge donut which is rolling down your street, as by terroristic incident. Believe it, you are secure.

My dear World citizen, please check if maybe your administration is fooling you. That is a real possibility, if you live in the USA. You are watching one of four major TV channels owned by people belonging to the same guild as your government does (this is an important expression for the following theory). These people want to make you believe you need much more protection. Yes, protection you have to pay extra for.

More protection (subtitle: “War on Iraq”)

The principle of making money is to satisfy peoples needs (you can read this in any first grade economic course book). Well, the principle of making a lot more money is to create more needs (“Marketing for Dummies”). One of these created needs, is this bit of more protection. The US government sold this very well. It made you believe the war on Iraq was a war against terrorism and a necessity for your protection. But hey, no weapons of mass destruction, no Al Qaeda at all and – most valuable – no US-flags waving people on the street, but a lot of dead and never ending what… I don’t know what… Well, maybe money generating machinery… Not for you, silly, but for Halliburton and Cheney. Aha!!!

My theory is, they are making war for money. Not directly for oil, but for rebuilding after war, washing soldier’s clothes, providing your troop’s food et cetera. You pay your taxes, they spend it not for education or social stuff. They redirect it from your pocket to weapon industry (all Bush and Cheney buddies) or an overall-multi functional-everything company like Halliburton. This principle is simle, isn’t it?

Version 4.0 was not my fault. During that period, I worked with Lisa Repka on S/MIME, Netscape’s implementation of the then-new standard for cryptographically secure email. At the time, I was very glad that we managed to ship this before the U.S. Government had gotten around to making it illegal for us to do so. (And yet, all these years later and still nobody ever encrypts their email…)

Eigentlich benützen wir die Computer, surfen das Internet und verschicken private und geschäftliche E-Mails unverschlüsselt. Sprich jeder der an einem Knotenpunkt im Netz Zugriff auf diese Daten hat, kann sie verzögerungsfrei lesen und verwenden. Mit speziellen Algorithmen lassen sich so sicherlich aussagekräftige Datenbanken herstellen. In Kombination mit Facebook und Google wird der Mensch, die Unternehmung und vielleicht auch der eine oder der andere Staat gläsern. Wollen wir das? Hmm… don’t know.
Die U.S. Regierung wehrt sich immer noch gegen Verschlüsselung und Schutz der Privatsphäre, und meine Vermutung geht dahin, dass alle anderen Länder auch ein Häppchen davon haben wollen und den USA nacheifern.

Ich verwende TrueCrypt für die Verschlüsselung der wichtigsten Daten auf meinen Computer und diese sind vom Netz nicht erreichbar. Emails werden jedoch bereits durch Google ausgewertet… wenn “die” das interessant finden. Wichtiges und schützenswertes sollte man nur persönlich besprechen. Vielleicht muss ich mich mit dem Thema noch genauer auseinandersetzen.

Wollte es nur noch einmal sagen…

Hopefully, Bush family members are for the last time in Washington’s political buildings. But how about Jeb Bush? I think it should be possible to see him run for President in 8 years. For a solid family like Bush’s, it should not be a problem to make it run. A little investmens from the Saudis, a little bit from Halliburton… Hey, it worked with Cheney too!

Wait and see…

Dear Barack,

My wishes for the new president: peace in the World, be friendly to Europe, make me have mo money, don’t let people die. My other wishes I will tell you later.

Thank you!
Your Sto

I am still not sure that Republicans and theirs supporters will just give up. They will lose something, they will lose money. But maybe it’s more likely that the big players in the U.S. market and profiteurs of conservative thoughts and straight capitalism will try to lead Obama into the same former establishment of Washington politics. Money rules the World, and money will rule the world with Obama as President of the U.S. of America as well.
