NSA Spying Hurts Cybersecurity for All of Us Say Privacy Advocates
The surveillance debate has focused on the legality of spying on Americans but some say the biggest danger is in the methods the NSA uses
Privacy advocates Monday slammed the National Security Agency for conducting surveillance in a way they say undermines cybersecurity for everyone and harms U.S. tech companies.
“We have examples of the NSA going in and deliberately weakening security of things that we use so they can eavesdrop on particular targets,” said Bruce Schneier, a prominent cryptography writer and technologist. Schneier referenced a Reuters report that the NSA paid the computer security firm RSA $10 million to use a deliberately flawed encryption standard to facilitate easier eavesdropping, a charge RSA has denied. “This very act of undermining not only undermines our security. It undermines our fundamental trust in the things we use to achieve security. It’s very toxic,” Schneier said.
In the year since former NSA contractor Edward Snowden’s first leaks, attention has focused on the Agency’s surveillance itself, fueling debates over whether it is legal and ethical to spy on American citizens or to eavesdrop on the leaders of allied countries. NSA policies that intentionally undermine cybersecurity too often get left out of the debate, said panelists Monday at a New American Foundation event titled “National Insecurity Agency: How the NSA’s Surveillance Programs Undermine Internet Security.”
“If the Chinese government had proposed to put in a backdoor into our computers and then paid a company $10 million to make that the standard we would be furious,” said Joe Hall, chief technologist at the Center for Democracy and Technology. “That’s exactly what the NSA has become: the best hacker in the entire world.”

All the witnesses you can think about confirms

- U.S. is manufacturing antigravity vehicles ... a projects costing more than the Manhatten project
- zero-point energy power is used ... meaning free energy is kept secret
- public NASA images are sensored/brushed to hide UFOsThey are hiding so much they have a huge problem continuing this high-treason cover-up, and they really need to survey anything. As time goes by there will be more former insiders willing to witness - time is working against the cabal
When someone here posts "there are no UFOs" they are just trolls (we should assume UFOs in Ukraine are some of these military UFOs)
Dr. Steven Greer: - There is no co-op between the cabal and the aliens. The cabal is hostile to aliens and are using EMP weapons against them on a routine basis - causing some UFOs to down

--> Illuminati has nothing to do with extraterrestials and Ancient gods. Illuminati/Zionists has no control beyond their weapons to kill and NSA technology. All the scandals / blowbacks means they are fighting for their own existence. They have few other options than to enslave us before it is too late
