Some PRISM stuff for 2014

One of the troubles we carry over to 2014 is the whole PRISM showdown. As a general tendency, problems tend to worsen if just the 'tempus fuget' solution is applied to them. So we had in November  Brazil's president Dilma Roussef with her determination to bring the issue to the UN assembly. Or the latest cases of spying German chancellor Merkel or European commissioner Almunia. And two weeks before Xmas we saw on TV a meeting of president Obama with the CEOs of Apple, Google, Microsoft and the rest of the gang for these companies want to sue the US government if they aren't allowed to tell their uses which data they have given (or were forced to give, one never knows) to the US authorities.

Everything would seem a futile game if it weren't for the fact that the world's freedom is at stake. How shameful for the Germans (who are especially sensible in this subject) having to ask for explanations to their allies! And how soft the UE reacted as it became clear that some UE top officials had been spied as well. In a way it seems horrible, thinking of big machine controlling all what we do.

So no wonder that Mr. Snowden sent such an Xmas message. There you are the messenger who should be killed --- instead of the initiators of this awful program. It's really the world upside down... Not even the American judges how how to handle this problem: within two weeks, two different sentences in opposite directions... The big question of course is: must the US keep their 'freedom rules' only within their boundaries or must they apply them to the rest of the world as well?  Boy, 2014 is going to be a really interesting year.

And regards to all the officers from many nations who will read this post... As boring as it is, having cited everyone therein will surely attract the most intelligent software to scan this... My blog will get a very high ranking... If not, I shall be very disappointed. Heheheheheh....
