Update on Eddie the Friendly Spook’s Economic Warfare against the U.S.

Snowden–whom we think is being direct­ed by BND (as well as by an ele­ment of CIA)–engaged in his “op” in order to jus­ti­fy a pre-arranged eco­nom­ic offen­sive against the Amer­i­can IT sec­tor. As we not­ed in our series on Eddie the Friend­ly Spook, the Snow­den “op” is an act of eco­nom­ic and polit­i­cal war­fare against the Unit­ed States. Now, we note an arti­cle that chron­i­cles seri­ous dam­age to the U.S. high-tech econ­o­my as a result of Snow­den’s “op.”


Update on The Adventures of Eddie the Friendly Spook

Updat­ing our long, detailed dis­cus­sion of The Adven­tures of Eddie the Friend­ly Spook [Snow­den] aka “The Peach Fuzz Fas­cist”, we note a num­ber of things, includ­ing: more infor­ma­tion that Snow­den’s so-called “dis­clo­sures” were actu­al­ly intend­ed to jus­ti­fy a pre-arranged Ger­man, EU and Brazil­ian IT eco­nom­ic war­fare offen­sive against the Unit­ed States; Snow­den’s con­sum­mate hypocrisy in dis­clos­ing infor­ma­tion to Nazi fel­low-trav­el­ers Glenn Green­wald and Julian Assange that nei­ther should pos­sess; Green­wald’s flack­ing for the Mus­lim Broth­er­hood; Ger­man pro­tege and Lux­em­bourg EU Com­mis­sion­er Viviane Red­ing’s cham­pi­oning of an EU intel­li­gence agency designed to do exact­ly what the hyp­o­crit­i­cal EU com­plains about when done by the NSA and GCHQ; the recent (declined) offer of inclu­sion of Ger­many into the Five Eyes Club; Palan­tir’s role in spy­ing on Face­book users for the mil­i­tary.


FTR #786 The Adventures of Eddie the Friendly Spook, Part 16: The Obverse Oswald–Update and Summary Analysis

Ger­man and Brazil­ian dri­ves to update and pop­u­lar­ize their IT sec­tors, sup­pos­ed­ly in response to Edward Snow­den’s “dis­clo­sures,” can be safe­ly assumed to have been antic­i­pat­ed quite some time ago. The Snow­den “psy-op” is almost cer­tain­ly a device for pro­pa­gan­diz­ing on behalf of the German/Brazilian dri­ve, which con­sti­tutes eco­nom­ic war­fare under the cir­cum­stances. Snow­den’s Russ­ian sojourn appears to have been arranged by Wik­iLeaks, which also appears to have arranged his flight to Chi­na from Hawaii. Throw­ing Oba­ma’s “reboot” with Rus­sia under the bus, the Snow­den “op” is prob­a­bly part of the broad­er oper­a­tion that brought the Nazi heirs to the OUN/B to pow­er in the Ukraine.


Is the Underground Reich Beginning a Terrorist and Economic World War III against the U.S. and Britain?

A vital­ly impor­tant post by “Pter­rafractyl” frames some con­sid­er­a­tions that have seri­ous impli­ca­tions. Are Ger­many and Brazil begin­ning an eco­nom­ic war­fare cam­paign against the U.S. tech indus­try? Are they plan­ning on coop­er­at­ing with crim­i­nal and ter­ror­ist ele­ments in this regard? Note that a Brazil­ian banker was recent­ly found with unde­ci­pher­able encrypt­ed files.


Knock, Knock. Who’s there? The Clipper Chip and Four Horsemen.

Angela Merkel made an omi­nous announce­ment last week. She wants to move ahead with walling off the EU’s web traf­fic and begin a “mas­sive” counter-espi­onage cam­paign against the US and its Five Eyes part­ners. Brazil is mov­ing ahead with its plans to remake the inter­net, includ­ing local data stor­age require­ments and state-encrypt­ed web ser­vices sim­i­lar to Ger­many’s new anti-NSA state-backed email ser­vices. So domes­tic spy­ing could be on the rise, the inter­net itself is at risk, and state-encryp­tion ser­vices are now being offered as an anti-NSA panacea. Main­streamed unbreak­able encryp­tion is also com­ing with­out a debate. An old ene­my of pri­va­cy, the Clip­per Chip, has returned in a new form. And its own arch-neme­ses, the Four Horse­men of the Infopoca­lypse, are back too. And there are no obvi­ous ways to unin­vite these guests with­out a long talk


FTR #776 The Adventures of Eddie the Friendly Spook, Part 15: Updates and Further Analysis

This broad­cast con­tin­ues and updates analy­sis of “L’Af­faire Snowden”–a “psy-op” assem­bled for pro­pa­gan­da pur­pos­es and resul­tant polit­i­cal effect. The “op” is intend­ed to: desta­bi­lize the Oba­ma admin­is­tra­tion and U.S. diplo­ma­cy and for­eign pol­i­cy; degrade U.S. high-tech and inter­net busi­ness and (con­se­quent­ly) the U.S. econ­o­my; jus­ti­fy Ger­many’s inclu­sion in the “Five Eyes” agree­ment and jus­ti­fy expan­sion of Ger­man elec­tron­ic sur­veil­lance; desta­bi­lize and weak­en the Nation­al Secu­ri­ty Agency and the GCHQ; eclipse Ger­man eco­nom­ic war­fare against oth­er Euro­pean coun­tries and high­light the Unit­ed States as the “Inter­na­tion­al Pub­lic Ene­my #1.”


The Spywarepocalypse Cometh. Lock the Backdoor.

With last week’s Snow­den-leak that the NSA can break a large amount of the encryp­tion used across the web using a vari­ety of back­doors and secret agree­ments with man­u­fac­tur­ers, there’s now a push in Con­gress for legal restric­tions on the use of these built in back­doors. Whether or not that hap­pens, keep in mind that the cus­tom-made back­doors are always going to be pos­si­bly open to any inter­est­ed par­ties.
