28.09.2024 Geheimdienste vernebeln und manipulieren

Glenn Greenwald veröffentlicht neue Dokumente

Neben ihrer üblichen Tätigkeit der Aufklärung sind die NSA und ihre westlichen Verbündeten scheinbar auch schwer mit dem Vernebeln und Manipulieren der Realität beschäftigt.

Infiltrieren, kontrollieren, manipulieren

Das behauptet Glenn Greenwald unter Berufung auf Dokumente unseres Ehrenmitglieds und NSA-Whistleblowers Edward Snowden. Diese hatte der US-Fernsehsender NBC in den vergangenen Wochen enthüllt. So gibt es Dokumente, dass

  • der GCHQ falsches Material ins Internet lädt, um die Reputation einer Zielperson zu zerstören,
  • "Honey traps" einsetzt, um jemanden zu bestimmten Seiten im Internet zu lotsen,
  • falsche beziehungsweise rufschädigende Informationen können auch direkt an "Kollegen, Nachbarn, Freunde etc." gemailt werden.

Das heißt, mit Online-Techniken wird etwas in der digitalen Welt ausgelöst, um etwas in der realen Welt zu verändern. Diese Dokumente erweitern die Aussagen von Snowden aus dem Jahr 2013, die davon ausgingen, dass der NSA (und ihren Verbündeten) nichts im Internet entgeht. Nun muss man davon ausgehen, dass westliche Geheimdienste weite Teile der Online-Infrastruktur unter ihre Kontrolle gebracht haben.

Es geht ihnen also schon lange nicht mehr nur um das Überwachen, sondern um Kontrolle.

NSA-Skandal: Geheimdienste überwachen Facebook, um Proteste vorherzusagen

Der britische Geheimdienst GCHQ überwacht offenbar gezielt, was Nutzer auf Youtube angucken und auf Facebook anklicken, um Massenbewegungen vorherzusagen. Das geht offenbar nur, weil solche Daten direkt an Glasfaserkabeln abgegriffen werden.

Glenn Greenwald ~ The Pressure Campaign on Spotify to Remove Joe Rogan Reveals the Religion of Liberals: Censorship

https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-pressure-campaign-on-spotify

“There are so many #ironies to the decision of #liberals to convert #JoeRogan into some avatar of #far-right #extremism. One is that he’s one of the few to give a #platform to #left-wing #voices like #OliverStone. Another is that he endorsed #BernieSanders.

The Pressure Campaign on Spotify to Remove Joe Rogan Reveals the Religion of Liberals: Censorship

All factions, at certain points, succumb to the impulse to censor. But for the Democratic Party's liberal adherents, silencing their adversaries has become their primary project.

Glenn Greenwald: Why privacy matters

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcSlowAhvUk

#GlennGreenwald was one of the first #reporters to see — and #write about — the #EdwardSnowden #files, with their #revelations about the #UnitedStates' extensive #surveillance of #private #citizens. In this searing #talk, Greenwald makes the case for why you need to care about #privacy, even if you’re “not doing anything you need to hide."

Further empty Glenn Greenwald apologia for Parler proving entirely false

Gizmodo put paid Greenwald's unfounded assertions.

Greenwald tweeted:

Do you know how many of the people arrested in connection with the Capitol invasion were active users of Parler?

Zero.

https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1348619731734028293

Noting his highly-conditioned and narrowly-scoped criteria (arrests are ongoing, and few to date), data obtained directly from Parler puts multiple members directly at the scene of the coup:

At least several users of the far-right social network Parler appear to be among the horde of rioters that managed to penetrate deep inside the U.S. Capitol building and into areas normally restricted to the public, according to GPS metadata linked to videos posted to the platform the day of the insurrection in Washington.

The data, obtained by a computer hacker through legal means ahead of Parler’s shutdown on Monday, offers a bird’s eye view of its users swarming the Capitol grounds after receiving encouragement from President Trump — and during a violent breach that sent lawmakers and Capitol Hill visitors scrambling amid gunshots and calls for their death. GPS coordinates taken from 618 Parler videos analyzed by Gizmodo has already been sought after by FBI as part of a sweeping nationwide search for potential suspects, at least 20 of whom are already in custody.

https://gizmodo.com/parler-users-breached-deep-inside-u-s-capitol-building-1846042905/

Greenwald is simply fabulating at this point.

Get this boy an editor. Or mental help.

Glenn Greenwald goes full retard: "How Silicon Valley, in a Show of Monopolistic Force, Destroyed Parler"

Greenwald's argument hinges on emotion, insinuation, invective, a completely unfounded premise, an absolute absence of evidence, and no consideration of alternative explanations: an overwhelmingly plausible ongoing law enforcement and national security operation, likely under sealed or classified indictments or warrants, in the face of ongoing deadly sedition lead by the President of the United States himself, including against the person of his own vice president and credible threats against the President-Elect and Inauguration.

Such an legal action is, of course, extraordinarily difficult to prove, and I cannot prove it. A key clue for me, however, is the defection not just of Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Stripe, and other tech firms, but of Parler's legal counsel, who would have to be an exceptionally stealth-mode startup to fit Greenwald's, or other's, "it's the tech monopolists" narrative. I've tempered my degree of assurance and language ("plausible" rather than "probable"). Time will tell. But a keen and critical mind such as Grenwald's should at least be weighing the possibility. He instead seems bent only on piking old sworn enemies, with less evidence or coherence than I offer.

This is the crux of Greenwald's argument. It's all he's got:

On Thursday, Parler was the most popular app in the United States. By Monday, three of the four Silicon Valley monopolies united to destroy it.

I'm no friend of the tech monopolists myself. The power demonstrated here does concern me, greatly. I've long railed against Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple, among other tech monopolists. Largely because as monopolies they are power loci acting through their occupation of a common resource, outside common control, and not serving the common weal. Hell: Facebook, Google (YouTube), Reddit, and Twitter played a massive role in creating the current fascist insurrection in the US, along with even more enthusiastic aid and comfort from traditional media, across the spectrum. Damage that will take decades to repair, if ever.

But, if my hypothesis is correct, the alternative explanation would bet he opposite of this: the state asserting power over and through monopolies in the common interest, in support of democratic principles, for the common weal. And that I can support.

I don't know that this is the case. I find it curious that I seem to be the only voice suggesting it. Time should tell.

And after this is over, yes, Silicon Valley, in its metonymic sense standing for the US and global tech industry, has to face its monopoly problem, its free speech problem (in both sincere and insincere senses), its surveillance problem (capitalist, state, criminal, rogue actor), its censorship problem, its propaganda problem (mass and computational), its targeted manipulation adtech problem, its trust problem, its identity problem, its truth and disinformation problems, its tax avoidance problem, its political influence problem.

Virtually all of which are inherent aspects of monopoly: "Propaganda, censorship, and surveillance are all attributes of monopoly" https://joindiaspora.com/posts/7bfcf170eefc013863fa002590d8e506

But, speaking as a space alien cat myself, Greenwald is so far off base here he's exited the Galaxy.

How Silicon Valley, in a Show of Monopolistic Force, Destroyed Parler

In the last three months, tech giants have censored political speech and journalism to manipulate U.S. politics, while liberals, with virtual unanimity, have cheered.
