How global corporations can hack anyone's computers for $2.5 million [View all]

Last edited Sat Jun 29, 2013, 12:50 PM - Edit history (1)

Yesterday, FreePress.org published a virtual treatise on how the USA became the base for computer hacking around the world--with the blessings, financial help, and even subscription of some elements of the U.S. Government. The principal author of the treatise, Jill Simpson, has been described by former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman as a modern Joan of Arc, for having successfully taken on Karl Rove at the pinnacle of his power in 2007.

It would seem from Ms. Simpson's article that hacking by government and global corporations is OK, but hacking by individuals, not among the elite 1% who can afford the $2.5 million access fee to "Endgame," is not. However, when the general public--the 99%--finds out about this situation with the help of the road map and pictures Ms. Simpson and her colleague have provided @ http://www.freepress.org/departments/display/20/2013/5044, the judgment of history on this matter may be at hand.

Update June 29, 2013: I just posted a diary at Daily Kos focusing upon Jill Simpson's call for President Obama to appoint a special prosecutor and for the U.S. Senate to launch an investigation of "Endgame." http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/06/29/1219917/-Public-Integrity-Champion-Jill-Simpson-calls-for-Investigation-of-Endgame
This was from the conclusion of her article cited here.
