News Analysis: The Effects are the Same, if either through Intent or Negligence, of Some ‘CT&C’ Manufacturers: U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) Electronic “Bugs” are Pervasive in such Equipment. Users of the ‘Gear’ can now be Assured that a ‘Phantom Audience’ of the ‘NSA’ are monitoring their communications (24/7/365). Naturally, ‘Denial’ by the alleged Manufacturers is the Public Plea. The veracity of their commentaries are suspect, IT Experts suggest. Data which appears to originate from the ‘NSA’ itself makes “short shrift” of their Claims of Innocence. Perhaps because some of the ‘CT&C’ Companies have been “Bought and Paid For” by the ‘NSA’ one can understand these Manufacturers chagrin about public exposure. They must realize they have even Less Integrity than “Street Walkers”; for those Ladies are more Overt about their Monetary Intentions. The colluding ‘CT&C’ Companies have Managers and Owners (M&O) who profess their ‘Honesty to the Heavens’ yet accept Monies for their Collusion. “Anything For A Buck” (AFAB) is their ‘Calling Card’. They do not ‘Surrender’ to the ‘NSA’ for free. Presumably, the ‘NSA’ does NOT put guns to their heads to acquire assent for ‘Bug” installations.
Some Software Companies are also “Waist Deep” in this ‘Public Intelligence Cabal’. They too profess their Innocence (for many of the same reasons as above).
Perhaps the Public should ask Hardware, Software, and ‘Personal Communication’ Sites: “How much of your ‘Startup Capital’ came from the various Intelligence Agencies PRIOR TO your Initial Public Offerings?” Rather than believe the ‘Fairy Tales’ about ‘Bedroom’ or ‘Dormitory’ Manufacturing Sites they love to ‘Humbly Reveal”, ‘NSA’ or other ‘Black Bucks’ may have been attained early on. The odds of their admitting such behavior is negligible.
The “Bottom Line” Has Been, Is, and Will Be, that ALL ‘CT&C’ Equipment made by those Manufacturers “Who Have been ‘Sleeping’ With The Various Intelligence Agencies” gives YOU a “Phantom Audience” in ALL your ‘Private Communications’.
Entrepreneurs, Investors, Manufacturers, and other Professionals should seek out Internationally Experienced Parties who understand Methods of Retaining Commercial Privacy.
It can be done.
Reality.
