Hi, janneseti.

You should know that when still on Windows XP, I did in fact receive a couple of replies from most of these institutions, except for the NSA.

They now are having e-mail addresses for communication though.

The reason I probably received a reply a couple of times was that I was posting a couple of questions which were quite basic and much related to contents and the like.

These people are not at all hostile and we should be thankful for such a thing.

I Think I will start with Swedish FRA:)
http://www.fra.se/

Swedish FRA is a key player in the US intelligence projects to hack and take control of users' computers. Something FRA said is illegal. The Agency has also gained access to the NSA's most powerful eavesdropping system, a 'Google for spies. "
Top of the agenda is operation "Winter Light".
What "Winter Light" means is unknown. But the operation is called a "quantum operation". Quantum is the NSA's secret hacker program, which is explained by data security expert Bruce Schneier in the program.
- If Sweden are involved in this are those with the active attacks against Internet users. It is not passive surveillance, he says.

British GHCQ is also a partner with NSA and FRA.

btw It's spelled "jäklar" meaning Devils:)

I think there should be made a distinction between those wearing a green beret and a rifle and those who are working with papers and codes.

Definitely some people are doing this thing as well, but cryptography is about protecting information.

You may remember when most people were using Windows XP as the operating system, part of it was the Outlook Express e-mail client. Either because of change of interest or maybe because someone found that this client had become a little intrusive when it comes to the possible addition of newsgroups, this client is not being included in Windows Ultimate.

So the big question becomes then (and I have already mentioned this before).

If I write the sentence "The lazy dog...." and translated it by means of a RSA-2048 based code, would I be able to read this contents in transit or on the web? Probably not so, either because it becomes of no interest, or because it in fact is not being encrypted in such a way at all.

The fact is that although encrypted messages in theory should not have any restrictions on it, they are mostly not available. Again, this is because these messages are not readable.

Also there is a fact that even though you are not supposed to be able to break an encoded message, only the fact that you may be discussing the NSA, or even try sending them an e-mail, quite soon makes someone think that you are a person seeking to carry out a crime.

The problem with NSA, and related Agency's, is not The Mission.

It is, and will always be - Human Frailties. Which has, is, and will always, infect all Human Organizations.

Humans won't change, it's their nature. What people need are strong, reliable and empathic people at the top.

Will never happen.

And should it, by some miracle happen: Will not last :(


You're probably right Clyde. People at the top are mostly the opposite of empathic, that's why they got there in the first place. Because of this and their Ego. Empathic people can't stay at the top too long, you're also right about that. They'd suffer too much under the Ego of the people they have to make decisions with.

Washington’s assault on truth as a threat helps to make sense of the gigantic National Security Agency spy system exposed by William Binney and Edward Snowden. One of the purposes of the spy network is to identify all “dissidents” who challenge Big Brother’s “Truth.”

'Big Brother', or Authority in any Culture/Country?


The 'Big Brains' is my guess.

Agree 100%

:) :) :)

Clyde how weird you are agreeing with yourself.
In post # 1677677 you stated
Silly, unthinking, haven't a clue accusation, as always.

Then in the following post, 1677780, by Glenn he quoted you and you
Agree 100%

This is not a reasoned discussion you are putting forth.

Your best post yet. Still laughing.
Glenn...
We have many disagreement, but... At least you, unlike others, have a sense of humor and sarcasm.
You are the only one I would love to have a conversation, over beer (pint), some evening.

I'm also laughing:)
Humour is an essence of human Life.
Even politicians can be funny.
Sometimes they are not aware of it...
