This is something I've been thinking about for a while now.
It's bloody scary.
According to the Patriot Act 1 and 2, companies based in America must give the DOD and other Federal Agencies access to their software products and databases on demand, without giving any warning to their clients during or after an investigation.
It's bad enough IMHO that American companies are in charge of co-ordinating canada wide police information systems integration, meaning that the US has all data on Canadians stopped for any reason, not just people convicted in one of our corrupted and infested courts.
Both Apple and Microsoft, the two major commercial operating systems used worldwide, are based in America.
That means, by the rules of the PA there can be a US gov't mandated backdoor into either of these Operating Systems. A nice little encrypted tunnel, right through your firewall, keyloggers and screencaps for all.
What's even creepier? The head of either of these companies is required by Law to LIE if asked about these activities or applications. The company representatives and executives can be jailed for YEARS if they don't lie directly under questioning about backdoor applications or data mining. Their Privacy statements and acts are superseded by the Patriot Act legislation. Even in a lower COURT they would be required to lie by the powers of the act. Does that sound yummy?
Consider switching to Ubuntu or some other linux distro, especially in business. Keep in mind that economic and business data is part of what the Great Beast of America feeds on, and they could be siphoning it directly from your OS in the future...or right from your Gov't "service provider" desktop.
If they aren't already...most world governments are running Windows or Mac in their Administration. Research facilities, state departments, diplomatic missions, educational institutions, business and accounting systems, everything can be sifted through at will for "the greater good" of the big bully on the world block.
There's 20 acres of mainframe supercomputers underground on the west coast of America to sift through it all...believe it or not. Probably more, that info is 15 years old....
Anyone want to mix that in with the stuff Mr. Moore talks about in his "Capitalism: A Love Story"? Yes, I'm plugging his flick, I think everyone should watch it.
we're all getting fucked in the ass in this world by a bunch of rich fucks who keep trying to tell us it's a "fair game", while they cheat, steal, and kill to win.
Computer backdoors, rigged electronic voting voting machines with remotely flashed BIOS', computerized stock manipulation tools that make instantaneous buy and sells creating cascading effects of money movement, and billions of fucked little serfs all watching tv and believing they have a chance if they just slave harder...and while they starve and die and slave away they keep chanting the mantra of their overseer, to the beat of the oil drums that signal their doom.
chanting to themselves and each other in unison they cry so many times they actually believe it
"I know I can, I know I can, at least its not Socialism!"
