The story of Edward Snowden, the man who revealed the actions of the NSA and who has been preoccupying public opinion for the last two months, did not begin two months ago. It may be considered an exaggeration to state the obvious, but from whatever angle we approach it, nothing seems to be more exaggerated than the actions of the Secret Service itself and by extension the actions of the US government.
While the facts continue to be published with inside sources wanting the rate of monitoring of global internet data by the NSA to be 75%, the questions that concern the world are not being addressed, let alone answered…
In the end, how did all this start?
A good motivation is the power and imperialist policy of the US. Whoever holds the Internet holds the power. In our previous article we had published the statements of the founder of the Internet, Sir Tim Berners-Lee.
Sir Tim Berners-Lee has said that the World Wide Web faces a “significant” threat from those trying to control it secretly. According to Berners, laws like SOPAand ACTA are designed to do just that:
“If you can control the Internet, if you can “hack” what the world says, or monitor every kind of communication, it is a very powerful weapon…that if a corrupt government takes it, will give them the ability to stay in power forever”, he said.
His statements came immediately after the news regarding the NSA's PRISM program. As we mentioned in previous posts, PRISM may have a massive amount of personal information from companies such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple and others.
But these are already known.
So today, as I was observing those who are watching us, I discovered something. Maybe this is the beginning, I thought.
See the link below from the NSA website. The website encourages US children to become secret agents in a very playful way.
(The live link links back to the NSA, but it doesn't matter, they are watching us anyway, but in case we had escaped them it would be good for them to read this article)
Hi Kids!
Welcome to the NSA/CSS Kids’ page.
We're the CryptoKids® and we love cryptology.
What’s cryptology? Cryptology is making and breaking codes. It’s so cool. We make codes so we can send secret messages to our friends. And we try to figure out what other people are writing about by breaking their codes. It’s a lot of fun.
On this site, you can learn all about codes and ciphers, play lots of games and activities, and get to know each of us – Crypto Cat®, Decipher Dog®, Rosetta Stone®, Slate®, Joules™, T.Top®, CyberTwins™ Cy and Cyndi, and, of course, our leader CSS Sam®.
You can also learn about the National Security Agency/Central Security Service – they’re America’s real codemakers and codebreakers. Our Nation’s leaders and warfighters count on the technology and information they get from NSA/CSS to get their jobs done. Without NSA/CSS, they wouldn’t be able to talk to one another without the bad guys listening and they wouldn’t be able to figure out what the bad guys were planning.
We hope you have lots of fun learning about cryptology and NSA/CSS. You might be part of the next generation of America’s codemakers and codebreakers.
As you very well understood, the leader of CSS Sam is our well-known Sam Central Security Service or Big Brother.
The propaganda of the html page is nothing compared to that present in the flash version of the site.
The website describes the American dream, family, happiness, cinema, and the feeling of being a secret agent and providing services to your homeland. However, you know very well from propagandists, remember the story we read in elementary school.
Bradley Manning was sentenced today to 30 years in prison because he had the courage, or the madness, to go against everything he was taught when he was young, to renounce the American dream so that the public would know what America's real actions and values are. To tell truths that are not taught in elementary school. To publish through WikiLeaksthings that shock even more those who grow up with the illusion of the American Dream.
In the end, who is the innocent and who is the guilty?
Are all the kids who browse the NSA site guilty? The same kids tomorrow will take up arms and head to another Iraq, another Afghanistan.
