Barbarism vs. Civilization


Don't fall for the #propaganda in the fight against terror. In the last #war in #Afghanistan, you could separate terrorists from #freedom fighters by the fact that one group was supported by the #CIA and the other was not.

Today in Labor History September 11, 1973: The CIA helped overthrew the democratically elected government of Allende in Chile. This ended nearly 150 years of democratic rule. Also killed in the coup were folk singer Victor Jara, and American IWW journalist Frank Teruggi. Jara courageously continued singing Venceremos (We Shall Win) while he lay on the ground, hands broken by his torturers, as they slaughtered hundreds in the national stadium. 16 years of military terror followed under Pinochet’s rule. Chilean-American author Isabel Allende is a cousin of the assassinated former president, Salvador Allende. She wrote her debut novel, “House of the Spirits,” while in exile in Venezuela, after fleeing the Pinochet dictatorship.

This article about a #CIA offshoot funding several prominent Internet #privacy projects is pretty damning on its own, but it will not change my app usage decision. I do not personally use #Signal to be protected from nation-state level #surveillance.

However, it put in perspective Edward Snodwen's recent "testimonial" for the app as being alive as a good reason to use Signal. Now I do not believe this is the main reason or even a reason at all he hasn't been assassinated on the US government orders yet.

Bottom line, even if Signal had a US-government backdoor, I'd still recommend its use to protect oneself from corporate surveillance.
