Matter fact, that facility in Utah that keeps blowing its power circuits exists to grind away at ~15 years worth of accumulated encrypted data whose decryption will put the past generation's global social networking into the clear for leisurely visualization, analysis, and discretionary operations.CNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-51866542140847958702013-10-25T09:48:33.721-05:002013-10-25T09:48:33.721-05:00Merkel and the other 34 world leaders shouldn'...Merkel and the other 34 world leaders shouldn't be surprised at all by this. The U.S. government has kept allied foreign leaders under some form of surveillance as far back as at least the 1920's. When conducting any kind of government-to-government negotiations on trade agreements, military treaties, etc., even with allies, it's very helpful to know what your counterparts on the other side are thinking, and what "minimum deal" they're willing to accept in such negotiations. The history of the Washington Naval Treaty is a good example:<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Naval_Treaty#Cryptanalytic_influences_on_the_treaty<br /><br /><br />My questions to Merkel et al are the following: When you use your cell phone, are your conversations automatically encrypted, or are everything you say "in the clear"? If "in the clear", is that wise? If "automatically encrypted", you might want to consider the possibility that your country's diplomatic codes have been broken by the NSA, and what the national security implications of that are on your country.Nakajima Kikkanoreply@blogger.com
