DRM si information lockdown

For those of you who need proof of things, from basic mathematical principles to the present, I am offering none. Only some words from a restless old man.

Vista is a small step towards total information lockdown.

Wait until Google adds server-side DRM to all those free web apps and requires (in the US) the government's Federal "RealID" to use their services at all. As Google is nothing more than an outsourced intelligence agency funded by the rulers, it will be no surprise at all. Remember, Google's real funding is hidden ingeniously within 'ad sales'. This mechanism is nothing more than a digital implementation of the mafia's time-tested 'marble business'. Google has the ability to raise infinite cash via criminal channels and no one can possibly know.

When all the popular web apps (including WordPress) are RealID enabled as they will have to be by government edict, then you will see what 'the rulers' have in store for the populace. I use the term 'the 'rulers' as shorthand for the global power elite, mostly bankers and old money. Remember that information, a shorthand itself for knowledge, is not something that the populace will hold for long. Any threat to the rulers must be eliminated.

Ironically, DRM is not something Bill Gates is a fan of. However, it is something the rulers told him to do. And unless he wants to lose all the money he's ever made, he has to go along with it. For Bill Gates is a rich man, but his wealth is very small compared to the rulers, less than 1/10000 of the wealthiest family, if even that.

So think of Vista and driver signing as merely a small taste of things to come. If you think Skype uploading your BIOS is a big deal, it is nothing compared to the evils that will be possible in the near future as Vista's installed base expands.

The demise of Net Neutrality will be another building block for total information lockdown. The telecoms (who already are a global spy network) will legally have the right to disallow all data streams that they do not specifically authorize. This means the end of all Internet software that is not government-enabled with RealID, data capture, etc. You will need a VeriSign RealID enhancement for every Internet application that you want to run. This business of digital information/access rights will be the cornerstone of VeriSign's business in the future. Remember VeriSign is for business, but the government will issue RealID certificates for individuals.

We are a few small steps away from total information lockdown. My guess is that it will be complete in 5 years. There will be a few more terrorist attacks, notably one or two massive Internet outages that will be blamed on so-called 'cyber-terrorists', that will enable the 'reform' of the Internet, massive application of RealID, etc. All these 'thefts' of personal information from banks, companies, the veteran admin, etc., are important building blocks for RealID. Many people will need new identities and the government will be there to help, of course. You can trade in your SSN for a new RealID code and certificate. Of course, the government will require a DNA sample, retina scan, etc.

Remember, as a Skype user, you are beta testing the future! But keep in mind what kind of future you are helping to build.

Eu sunt destul de paranoic in general, dar cand vad scris: "Google has the ability to raise infinite cash via criminal channels and no one can possibly know." inseamna ca articolul respectiv are valoare de OTV.
