Nick,
old Son, Australian "security" services [for the
establishment elite] have been tapping our calls for decades. Well
before the latest hi-tech wireless devices and means of transmission
were available.
I
drove cabs in Melbourne, from the 1980s, night shift, and one popular
rank was out front of the then new "Telecom" ["Telstra"
pre-privatization] building corner Lonsdale and Exhibition Sts.
One
fare told me that ASIO had an office in the building, and discussed
their access to the network, they had open access to all calls. And
the AFP too, have been monitoring calls at will, without warrants,
for decades. Then there are the state police forces, who have also
been at it since the 1st telephone networks.
Of
course, ASIO, is but a subset of the British secret services overseas
bureau, MI6. So we have never had privacy in our telephony from
British or, as the Australian high Court ruled around the same time,
from "a foreign power", inferring a "not completely
friendly" overseas nation.
And
"NO!" Both our major parties, the LNP and the ALP, haven't
"dropped the ball" on this security and privacy issue, they
have never had the ball in their possession to start with.
As
long as Australia is tied to Britain, under this chimera, this utter
phantasm called the "Constitutional Monarchy", we will
never have secure telephony, or secure electronic telecommunications,
not, at least, from British private, corporate interests.
However,
were our unbelievably lax, lazy, scared, self-interested and ignorant
populace to ever get off their fat-cells and demand we go
Independent, becoming a Democratic Republic, it wouldn't end there.
As
long as any major power - private, like most western national
"governments" [private, dynasty corporate governments in
fact], are free to warp trade, distribution and taxation laws and
affairs, in this rubbish we know as "the free market" of
capitalism, there will always be powerful entities like MI5, MI6,
Mossad, CIA, NSA, ASIO, ASIS, DSD, etc, sponsored by self-interested
psychopaths in industry, wanting to know our thoughts.
And,
not even "god" will be able to stop them intruding! [Mainly
because there is no god!]
Ed
Snowden's revelations indicate only by how much the world is out of
control, and is an anarchic mash of psychopaths out for their own
advantage, before the big implosion of our functioning systems of
supply.
Fight
On! Warrior, nevertheless....!
I'm
with You, Sire!

A?
Yeah, not "dropping the ball", "sleepwalking".
Same same meaning basicly.
And more of me
to another commenter, one “Argotrend”
A? One point..., We have to come to terms
with, and get beyond the dangerous error of thinking of "nations"
especially the world's most powerful, as "nations made-up of and
controlled by democracy, or, by the people".
You're right about our not standing up to the
USA, but neither they nor us, are democracies.
They and we, like Britain and
the major, most powerful "nations" are private companies,
run by dynastic elites, controlled through the largest corporations
in land, resources, mining, commodities, and military hardware, etc.
So we, are in exactly the same basket as any
other "people" in the USA, Britain, or any 3rd world
nation/region.
Therefore it is not a question of "us",
Australia, standing up to "them" the USA, or, "Britain",
or the EU, or China, et al, but The People, all The People of the
planet, , taking on the - yes, out of control, so near-unstoppable -
global [militarized] corporate hegemony, whom, which, are as much in
your local shopping centre, local police station, local army
barracks, as in Washington, or Westminster, or Rome, or or or....
And, hardest to overcome, they are very well
entrenched in your every day life, in the accouterments and trinkets
and disposables you are addicted to.
Not to mention the evils of mainstream market
economics, like banks, real estate, and consumer goods manufacture,
not for your sake, but manufacture-for manufacture's sake..., etc etc
etc.
Everyone has to lift their eyes to see the
disparities not as 1st world nations vying for the upper hand, etc.,
but as the OCCUPY WALL STREET Movement went to, a tiny,
psycho-pathological [metaphorical] "1%", having such an
economic advantage over the 99%, by buying off poorly-educated people
desperate for a house and food and "a life" - ie., police
and soldiers - to STOMP Dissent, Intelligent debate, and
decision-making, you and me, and Equitable Distribution of resources.
It's too far gone now, of course, but while we
blithely, ignorantly accept "capitalism" and free
speculation and profiteering from land markets, the elite, the
"religio-political class" will merely walk all over the
99%, unto "the end of days", as they moan.
