Good on the #signal #president #meredithwhittaker for going against the #uk #government on wanting to #spy on #encrypted #messages https://fortune.com/2023/07/13/signal-pr.. *Really* the correct #decision for #signal to take.
Looks like the #us found the " #spy " section of the #chinese #balloon https://www.zerohedge.com/political/chin.. #china 's #ccp are losing their shit and are now pointing towards the #nordstream #pipeline https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/c.. My #suspicion is that the #us will discover something from that #balloon that will make them look #hostile .
The #us 's #concern about #china 's #spy #balloon is not unwarranted, in 2018 they literally showed on #chinese #tv a #balloon carrying #hypersonic #missiles https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/b.. #china 's #ccp are simply #gaslighting the world. They are most certainly a #threat .
#china 's #ccp are getting very mad that the #us shot down their #spy #balloon over #us #airspace https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/c.. Apparently #china sent others too. How would #china #react if the #us sent a #spy #balloon into their #airspace unannounced, first denying it exists, then saying it was lost, then saying it was a company who sent it for #research ? They too would shoot it down. The #ccp are chancers.
Really cool #story about a #child being #investigated for being a #japanese #spy in the #us http://milk.com/wall-o-shame/security_cl..
These really early #spy #photographs are awesome: https://mymodernmet.com/carl-stormer-hid.. Just #people going about their daily lives, not posing, not perfect, just natural.
As #scottmanley points out, it looks as if the #space #community is not happy about a recent #test the #russian #military did to de- #orbit an old #spy #satellite #explosively https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvdQcDDU.. It's still not entirely clear if the #iss #space #station is going to be okay, and it's entirely possible that the #chinese #spacestation will be affected in the future as the #orbits of the #debris #decay - damn. This was pretty reckless!
One of these days I will have some more #time on my hands to build out a #library ... These #spy #books would make a great addition: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/useful..
The problem with #australia and their new #surveillance powers is that there's a good chance other #fiveeyes Countries will adopt them, including the #uk https://www.lotuseaters.com/bill-allowin.. Essentially it grants them the ability to #disrupt , #spy and #control the #internet - even fabricate evidence by the looks of it! How on earth do their #politicians feel safe? This will be surely used against them too..
#canadian man #michaelspavor is #accused by #china 's #ccp of being a #spy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpaZ7oZ2.. Here's the thing: China normally kills #foreign #spies - so why have they #sentenced him to four years? It's because they know he's innocent and this is a #political move against #canada for arresting the #chinese #phone #manufacturer #managers on behalf of the #us ... How can anybody even #travel through China (once borders open) without risk of such an #accusation against them?
I'm not even surprised, it is well known that #governments around the world #spy on #journalists https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/j.. This is exactly the shit that #snowden , #manning and #assange were warning people about. And of course the #democrats are in on this in the #us - they used exactly this to spy on #trump and continue to try to get #snowden currently in the #uk - arrested for no reason.
