In essence it's a false flag operation. They are having problems getting support for corrupting the Tor network so they are making things up.
I wish someone in Congress would ask and investigate the DOJ and FBI on how much of the kiddie porn is actually generated and associated with and originating from DOJ and FBI operatives who are trying to attract those who would want that kind of thing. I know it's not 0.
I have a tough time imagining that they would generate (taking this word to mean "create") child porn. I could easily see them taking what they've found and publishing it however.
I gather that various conservative cultures see much of Western popular culture as child porn. Even to arguably dissolute Americans, aspects of popular Japanese culture look a lot like child porn.
Who gets to set standards on the Internet? If the least-permissive standard won for each category, the Internet would be boring.
I have absolutely no difficulty imagining the ruling elite using their heinous secret society to produce material that can be used to repress us all. One only need look at how well the Franklin Affair was managed to see that the elite do indeed have their inner society, and that they can get away with the most heinous crimes, given enough secrecy and deceit; something our ruling masters are getting better at as the years go by.
Most damaging, I think, is the ability of governments to keep secrets - this is the most destructive force in governance, I believe, and we the people have to realize that the right for governments in power to keep secrets is a form of violence upon the body politic. But unless we yank the chain by revoking that power on occasion, I think it gets abused all too well.
In fact, I think the only valid response to the governments new calls to remove public encryption is to demand that the right for governments to keep secrets be revoked, by the people. Let us answer their call for intrusion into our private lives with the response: no more secrets in government then, either!
>Most damaging, I think, is the ability of governments to keep secrets
Hear, hear! But propose that the government be open and transparent and people complain about all of our military secrets being public. Fucking good, that's the point.
