Microsoft’s Global Criminal Compliance Handbook Leaked

Microsoft has acted swiftly after the Web site Cryptome leaked its "Global Criminal Compliance Handbook." The guide does exactly what it says: outlines the surveillance services the software company will perform for law enforcement agencies on its online platforms. These include its email services, such as Hotmail, MSN, Messenger, Office Live, Windows Live, and even Xbox Live. Gulp.

The 22-page guide has "Confidential For Law Enforcement Use Only" stamped all over it, but that didn't stop the website from putting the PDF up over the weekend. Cryptome Editor John Young received an notice from the site's host, Network Solutions yesterday, citing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Unless he removes the guide, they fingerwagged, Cryptome will be disabled tomorrow, February 25. (Update: the Cryptome.org website is already showing a "currently unavailable" message from Network Solutions.)

Young is most incensed by "its improper use of copyright to conceal from its customer violations of trust towards its customers," he told the Geekosystem Web site. He added that Microsoft was "repugnant" in the way it was allowing the law enforcement agencies to grab its clients' data. "This information would also be equally useful to customers to protect themselves when Microsoft cannot, due to its legal obligations under CALEA." [CALEA is the wiretap bill that was passed in 1994.] Will he take down the guide? Like hell he will!

This is not the first time that Cryptome has been pursued using the DMCA. Last year it put up Yahoo's surveillance guide, which included a price list. Yahoo shouted until it was even more purple in the face than it normally is, but to no avail: the guide is still online--although, one assumes, the prices have gone up.

1. Microsoft has always been a Globalist controlled company, with Bill setup as the public face. Hence, global intelligence services have always had access to everything, and have had an instrumental hand in designing software and services to maximize effectiveness of social control mechanisms.

2. The handbook is contrived, and it's leak planned and setup. This was done to generate fear in the public as well as add to on-going perception that US society is losing its liberties.

3. The leak of the guide actually works to hide the extent of the co-mingling of intelligence, government and private enterprise. It's designed to convince the reader that these institutions are actually separately controlled, but yet have opted to collaborate. When in fact, they are controlled by the same system, who designed the two institutions to work together as nodes in a larger system.

4. I'd even go so far as to say that Cryptome (the web site that released the handbook) and Network Solutions are part of this stunt, as they are adding to the general fear by using the digital millennium act in an attempt to suppress the document's release, shutting down Cryptome in response to their refusal to remove the document. This creates an atmosphere that truth will be suppressed.

Stunts like these help the establishment create the perception of the security state, which they actually don't have the power to pull-off without buy-in and acquiescence from the public. So, the public must be convinced that the state-corporate alliance is all-powerful. Hence, they run these stunts of propaganda in an effort to convince the public of their power and the public's lack of power. Same drill as the AT&T hidden room found in San Francisco that got so much publicity, including 60-Minutes coverage.

This is the simulacrum that we live in, where they hide the actual breath and depth of the system design while simultaneously convincing the public (who are merely another node in the system) that they must acquiesce to the all-powerful public face of this new system. Luckily, this system is not well hidden and is being exposed to the more-acutely aware in society. It's not readily apparent yet, but I see evidence daily that the public is seeing the simulacrum for what it is. And the more the simulacrum is exposed, the more fear diminishes and the more the public realizes its real position in the power matrix, which is at the top. The good news is that we're getting there, faster than their RAND Corp. simulations predicted.

Yes, the propaganda is released to hide the truth. Baudrillard explains how this works in Simulacrum & Simulation.

This is an excellent post, and if people here are posting elsewhere, or emailing friends, I strongly suggest distributing this post so that people can begin to see the deception that we live in.
