Hacking ppl is as valuable if not more than hacking their computers. IOW hacking the brain and what goes on there indirectly through the vocal cords, the breathe, & brain stem. And what is all this nonsense about reading thoughts with brain implants & MRI imaging? Why bother going into the brain directly for anything unless it's a tumor to be excised.

I'm guessing that you've already read the article on this newsletter about informatics sharing in medical research. While reading it, I got a terrible feeling about what criminals could do with data that medical researchers are innocently sharing. Jamie and Joe.

The only 'values' that I see from these types are whatever is spit out of the latest think-tank or supercomputer war simulation. They view the public as a nusince to be ''neutralized' with 'psyops' so they can keep slaughtering with impunity and gathering up the worlds resources. I can see this guy sitting in a 'spies like us' or 'wargames' bunker calmly ordering the deaths of 5 billion people if it left them with a 0.001% statistical advantage amongst the survivors, which is them of course, not joe public. agreed… look at the pithy title of the speech, bunch of corporate-speak.

Spying is a lot of hard work. I'm sure they'd rather be at a local strip club or something. Who saves us from hackers that spy on us? I'm not talking government here, I mean civilians. There's ID theft, theft, botnets, phishing and so much more like kiddie porn, human trafficking that starts online and some of those webcam girls are part of that, and so on. I'm not worried much about the NSA peeking at the photos I take of my cats or the Suicide Girl dot com photos I've checked out. Those guys are ok in my book especially when you compare them with what's out there. If only I had $200 plus the gas to spare with hotel. I buy it. Spying is a lot of hard work.

But I have this cynical doubt nagging at me. I just turned 46 so maybe I am just getting old and cynical as this is starting to happen too often whenever I listen to the higher levels of the military, police services or even the government for that matter. I get the feeling they are just saying what we want to hear so we will stop paying attention. I am more and more like my dad every day, I swear.
