is the best of times and the worst of times. In the film, the new era of cyber threats can be seen. When Snowden asked the leaders of the CIA: I was your best student, what was my value? He replied: Within 20 years, Iraq will be hell and everything will be irrelevant. Terrorism is a short term threat, the real threat comes from China, Russia, Iran, in the form of structured language and malware, without people like you, this country will be destroyed in cyberspace. I can't let you risk a ridiculous sand and oil war. Obviously, in the Internet age, the real battlefield is on the Internet.
We seem to have the largest information and communication network, free contact with other people around the world, and access to all kinds of information. But we are also exposed to such a cyberspace, not only our individuals, but the security of every country, the resources of every enterprise, and the control of every system are all exposed. As shown in the film, the CIA and the National Security Agency of the United States have already used these means to treat their own citizens, their allies (Germany), their followers (including Japan), their neighbors (Australia), and their imaginations. Enemies of China (including us China and Russia, Iran) have conducted cyber intrusion and surveillance.
Just like the various technologies introduced by Snowden in the film, such as XKeyscore, it is like a retrieval system, it can retrieve anything you want. Here are the keywords "attack", "take down" and "bush", it's like a Google search, but not only on public platforms, but also some people's own secrets, e-mail, online chat, text messages. Surveillance, and a whole country of people. The first message: Oakland resident Justin Pinsky posted a sentence on a forum: Romania has a history of executing their leaders, can't they do us a favor and kill Bush? Using this system, it is clear that anyone can be dug deep. Just like Marwan in the film, he is obviously one of the cleanest Pakistanis. He has no direct connection with the government or the intelligence agency, nor does his family. However, as long as they are willing to dig, they can always dig whoever they want. They can investigate a lot of privacy, such as in the film, as long as they need to, they can investigate his sister far away in Paris, and even use a set of "optic nervous system", which can activate the network camera, which is encrypted by the British. Once activated, it will turn on the camera. The computer's camera, and the other person has no idea (is her laptop closed or she forgot to turn it off? She won't know, her camera lights are not on). People from the CIA could even see her changing her clothes. Then they investigated his daughter Salma, who easily found on her Facebook that she was arguing with her parents and was dating a lad named Nadim. They can see Salma saying: "She wants to marry him, but she's afraid of her parents. And the CIA knows what she doesn't (what she doesn't know is that his other name is Nicholas, and apparently he's dating Geraldine and Julie right now). And all of this has not been approved by FISA, because the procedures are too cumbersome and require direct appointment by the Supreme Court. Then, using this privacy, Snowden's superiors could control Marwan, whose bank holds the money of many Saudi bigwigs, as well as many Russian billionaires. Although Snowden didn't find anything wrong with him at all. In other words, this system is more often used by the CIA to search for privacy and control the dignitaries of all parties. Snowden objected to this, and ended up being threatened by his boss: If you expose this, you will be in prison longer than Marwan.
They even forced the Japanese government to let the US monitor the whole of Japan. Hack into other countries' networks. When we wanted to ask them to help us monitor Japanese citizens, they were not very happy, they said: This is illegal. Anyway, we still monitor the whole country. It's not over yet, as we go through their system, we control the infrastructure, we start with small projects like power plants, dams and hospitals, our aim is if one day Japan is no longer our ally , then the whole of Japan will lose power. And that's not just happening in Japan, we're installing malware in Mexico, Germany, Brazil, Australia, China, and I can understand installing that in China, or Russia and Iran, Venezuela or something. We're also forced to support world leaders and industry titans, track ugly deals, sex scandals, and diplomatic photos. In order to benefit the United States in the G8 negotiations, or to force Brazil's oil factories, or to help those leaders who are not supported in the third world to rise to power. The ultimate truth is that no matter how unfair it may be, it is not about terrorism at all. Terrorism, just an excuse, it's about economic and social control, and the only thing you're protecting is a dominant government.
At the heart of the NSA's headquarters on Oahu, Snowden served "an anti-World War 3 underground base full of thousands of hackers," where he met Patrick Haynes, who would be seven Characters in one code, six spoken languages, and two sign languages. Think the NSA controls such a base, what else can they do? There, Snowden also contributed a little of his own wisdom and improved the capabilities of the system. Now there are many systems that are difficult to track accurately, so why not create a central database, something that can be updated at any time. Epic Shelter gathers existing intelligence, and we just do a portal to register them so they can be searched, I like to call it a heartbeat. In this way, worldwide e-mail and VoIP, hundreds of millions of messages per country per day, are captured by the NSA.
As Snowden said: When you sit and realize how big the world is, you also find that the NSA monitors all the mobile phones in the world, no matter who you are, your daily is stored in a database, waiting to be detected people read. They are not monitoring terrorists, nor countries, nor companies, but you.
Although we know that after Snowden, the US Congress also ruled that NSA surveillance was illegal, and Obama seems to oppose it. But we know that no matter what, the President of the United States, the NSA, and the CIA will ultimately insist on their "illegal behavior" because it is in their best interest to do so.
