Worthy of a full read — a classic failure of US intelligence and strategic communication filters.

Islamic State propaganda: what the West doesn't understand

in Sydney Morning Herald

Beirut: Behind the ultra-violent execution videos that have become the Islamic State's disturbing trademark is a carefully calibrated set of messages aimed not at terrorising but at recruiting people to “an alternative way of living”.

While brutality is the most prominent narrative in the West, utopianism is by far the most important narrative for Islamic State's propagandists.

Greece Is Just The Beginning Of The Great Austerity Backlash

EXTRACT

…the exchange with reporters in Washington was another of the many signs that the debate over the power that should accrue to money — and what those who wield it can fairly demand — is spreading around the world.

Russell Blaylock says it like it is. You can prevent neurodegenerative disease, but you can't do so following the “standard of care” of Western pharma-oriented medicine.

Vaccines Damage Developing Brains

EXTRACT

I am convinced that the vaccine schedule interferes with this development. The results are antisocial behaviors, poor judgment, and learning difficulties. To learn more about the dangers of vaccines, read my special report “Vaccines and Brain Injuries — Are You At Risk?”

Ukraine Merges Nazis and Islamists

Exclusive: Ukraine’s post-coup regime is now melding neo-Nazi storm troopers with Islamic militants – called “brothers” of the hyper-violent Islamic State – stirring up a hellish “death squad” brew to kill ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine, on Russia’s border, reports Robert Parry.

EXTRACT

So, the underlying message seems to be that it’s time for the American people and the European public to step up their financial and military support for a Ukrainian regime that has unleashed on ethnic Russians a combined force of Nazis, white supremacists and Islamic militants (considered “brothers” of the Islamic State).

Keys Under Doormats: Mandating insecurity by requiring government access to all data and communications

We have found that the damage that could be caused by law enforcement exceptional access requirements would be even greater today than it would have been 20 years ago. In the wake of the growing economic and social cost of the fundamental insecurity of today’s Internet environment, any proposals that alter the security dynamics online should be approached with caution. Exceptional access would force Internet system developers to reverse “forward secrecy” design practices that seek to minimize the impact on user privacy when systems are breached. The complexity of today’s Internet environment, with millions of apps and globally connected services, means that new law enforcement requirements are likely to introduce unanticipated, hard to detect security flaws. Beyond these and other technical vulnerabilities, the prospect of globally deployed exceptional access systems raises difficult problems about how such an environment would be governed and how to ensure that such systems would respect human rights and the rule of law.
