Stop Press ..... New Vital Information/Escaping Intelligence

It is a reminder, if ever one were needed, that selecting software vendors inevitably puts you between the devil and the deep blue sea.

Selecting software vendors initially puts both you and the devil in munificent sees. The eventual inevitable resultant product of that bifocular binocular pairing is the stuff of legend.

Poking a Grizzly in the Forest in the Bread Basket with the Blunt Instrument of a Cleft Stick ....... is Not Without Deadly Serious Risk

Could and therefore might Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google bite and smite and destroy the present failure of a US government? Decide and declare and display it as a fascist dictatorship unworthy of popular native support and be most encouraging of effective opposition with enthusiastic foreign help and attractive alien assistance?

And what of Microsoft? Why do they miss the cut? Are they already the US government's in-house bitch, thought bought and mighty well paid for?

Does the staff of the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee have a magic wand to wave around to ensure that is not the result of their 449-page dodgy dossier?

Has Uncle Sam lost the plot* and his marbles* with such an ill advised covetous attack upon Entrepreneurial Future Technologists?

* .... losing the plot
** ... lose one's marbles

International Insecurity ..... the Gift that just keeps on giving

It never rains but it pours .......... Carte Blanche 00 Licence to Thrill

Surely nobody sane expects security services and assistant agencies to follow rules and act normally/traditionally/conventionally. That would be as an open invitation for madness and mayhem to invade with CHAOS and conflict in tow bringing up the rear. You gotta be really stupid to believe that is possible.

Re: International Insecurity ..... the Gift that just keeps on giving @big_D

If one wants a quieter and more uncomplicated life, big_D, one can always accept that some of the exceptionally smarter agents are, and have always been a law unto themselves, and as such, always best acknowledged whenever practically invisible as virtually effectively untouchable ...... with it being certainly advised as being distinctly unwise to warrant their exclusive intrusive invasive personalised attention, because of such attention being trialed by others thinking it wise to be funded and headed their way.

That's both a critical strategic mistake to make and a fundamental tactical error to always avoid like the plague, for no good comes of it, for everything then committed is intelligently designed to be suddenly lost/forfeited/sequestered/quarantined/commandeered and no longer left readily available to any or all interested parties.

'Tis a remarkably heavy price to pay for nothing worthwhile, but a valuable lesson to learn if one is able to survive.

Now there's a Novel October Surprise :-)

Now that everyone knows police systems can snoop on individuals of interest is an entertaining admission. There'll be many wanting access to the records discovered stored in files harboured there, displaying and outlining operations, abilities and capabilities.
