British Home Secretary Amber Rudd Sunday, March 26, attacked WhatsApp for refusing intelligence services and police access to its encrypted messaging service, used by Khalid Masood three minutes before his terrorist rampage in London last Wednesday. She presented this opacity as an impediment to the investigation into his deadly attack and to the prevention of terror in generalKhalid Masood was shot dead after killing four people including a policeman when he rammed his car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge and then tried to force his way into parliament. Referring to his use of WhatsApp’s End-to-End encryption service to communicate with an unknown person minutes before the attack, Rudd said “We need to make sure that organizations like WhatsApp – and there are plenty of others like that – don’t provide a secret place for terrorists to communicate with each other.”
Much better is a one on one, agreement behind the scenes to EXPOSE the text in question, a blast like this affirming WhatsApp’s intransigent stand protecting it’s clients, and then using the app as a counterintelligence tool.
Never the less London has to answer for security, and STILL this has posed the question of car drivers becoming cruise missile pilots.
We are STILL not asking ourselves the questions of WHAT in the brain of these morons is so screwed up that they think mowing down French students and a couple on the 25th anniversary because they think it is their personal responsibility to kill innocents in order to advance god AND get laid forever by more wimmin’ than one can possible have ‘use’ for.
Is there some genetic marker, enzyme combination, hormonal disturbance, EEG, P300 criterion that distinguishes those willing to commit such acts from those who support the END desired by mass murderers but wish to do so through the life they lead as examples to men? Are these killers when acting doing so with the same markers as Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold?
Why aren’t we even asking ourselves the questions needed to ELUCIDATE the kind of R&D needed to TRY to answer this horror?
Maybe we should just make carrying a MANDATE as part of Obamacare?
One thing is for certain.
BLASPHEMY LAWS are not the answer. But they are a funny attempt.
Epa,
ReplyDelete"What are you prepared to do?" It is the question I have asked myself again and again since 9/22. And I have prepared and done much.
Islam is a trigger. It is a firing pin, in the right set of hands. The indictment against Islam is too strong, when examining the body of evidence which strongly supports acts of violence against non-Muslims.
The body of historical evidence is also strong. Islam is a trigger.
Cars as cruise missiles? What is the IED that goes off in the brain prior to the carnage? It is an ideology.
None can ever convince me otherwise.
Think that I am too strong? I had a face-to-face with a man yesterday who told me he had people beaten - and he was talking in context to upholding of Shari'ah law.
Errr.... 9/11 not 9/22. Hit the wrong key. I don't look at the keyboard. smile
ReplyDeleteMaybe we could learn how to go all Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on them, and they'll forget they want to mow down people with cars, stabbed people with knives, shoot gays with guns, and blow people up in streets.
ReplyDeletePasto,
ReplyDeleteSo far, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind hasn't worked. Maybe it needs a Soma boost. //sarc//
SPOILER ALERT- 1969 level EX HIPPIE SPEAKING:
ReplyDeleteI guess I don't care about Muslims who want Sharia, but expect to achieve that by 'raising the conscientiousness' of the infidels. IF they respect the right of the people to be 'ungodly' as their own sovereign power here, then I TOLERATE THAT.
My problem is with those who will act, and those who finance those who will act because THEY DON'T BELONG HERE (or in any western liberal society founded on the individual mind).
To me those who will act have SOMETHING WRONG WITH THEM ..admittedly if SOME of Islam's teachings based on its IMMUTABLE AND 'PERFECT' founding doc went away, the problem might evaporate over time.
But it cannot and that forms the question we face.
Right now
Over vetting refugees.
"Are you willing to live in peace with those who will by vote choose a path unacceptable in Islam?"
"Are you willing to ACCEPT all other religious practices as LEGALLY equal to yours?"
We need the real answer to those questions.
HAHAHA ..yes, they are all free to raise my consciousness to such lofty levels.
ReplyDeleteAnything else, it's 'smile when you say that, pard'
