140 EspionagemIndustrial

140 RenatusCartesiusBlogger


Centro de espionagem Ango-Americano novamente in the the cross-hairs.

RenatusCartesius tem uma vaga ideia de que fora noticiado há algum tempo que o centro de espionagem electrónica, o GCHQ situado em Cheltenham, Inglaterra,  andava a interceptar os comunicações  das construtoras aeronáuticas europeias e passar as infos para as construtoras Americanas. 

Caso RenatusCartesius esteja errado, então corrijam em comentário. As devidas correções  serão depois feitas no corpo principal do blog. A verdade deve ser sempre reposta.

"The activities of GCHQ Bude usually remain classified, however, partly in response to concerns expressed by some EU member states that Morwenstow is responsible for industrial espionage and the interception of civilian communications, a report by the European Parliament (referenced below) was made public in 2001 that provides some details about the station. 

The Intelligence Services Act 1994 grants GCHQ the power "to monitor or interfere with electromagnetic, acoustic and other emissions and any equipment producing such emissions and to obtain and provide information derived from or related to such emissions or equipment." This includes Blackberry Messenger and audio messages.[1]"

Para os não aficionados: as informações sobre concursos e propostas de venda de aviões e outros negócios é de extrema importantância para as empresas envolvidas nos negócios. Obviously.

Depois de uma breve pesquisa pela deepnet, Cartesius chegou à conclusão que este centro de espionagem também é europeu. Muito estranho, porque sempre se disse que era Anglo-Americano. Que confusão!

O presente governo governo ToryLibDem tem andado a tentar votar uma proposta de Lei, A Snoopers Charter, a qual abriria as portas gravarem tudo quanto você exprieme electrinicamente. Só que os LibDems, parceiros na coligação votarem contra em conjunto com os MPs do Labour.

Mas a espionagem alguma vez precisou que o Internet Service Providers salvem alguma coisa para eles! Eles próprios sabem tudo, a menos que só saibam aquilo que não devem. Lol.

O prestigiado matutino The Guardian vem novamente à carga com novas suspeitas. Isto torna-se totalmente ridículo, pelo menos devido às secretas Anglo_Americanas não sejam tão secretas como supostamente deveriam ser. Alguém entendeu que aquilo não era justo, e não é, e pôs tudo ao sol. Espero que não acabe a fazer companhia ao Julius Assange ou a responder em Tribunal Marcial como o private Bradley. 









Concern grows over GCHQ Prism spying allegations

Home Secretary Theresa May is coming under pressure to investigate claims Britain's electronic listening post GCHQ has been gathering data through a secret US spy programme.
Keith Vaz, chairman of the home affairs committee, said the allegations were "chilling".
According to The Guardian, GCHQ had access to data covertly gathered from leading internet firms in the US.
GCHQ said it operated within a "strict legal and policy framework".
The Guardian says it has obtained documents showing that the secret listening post, based at Cheltenham, had access to the Prism system, set up by America's National Security Agency (NSA), since at least June 2010.
'Astonished'
The documents were said to show that the British agency had generated 197 intelligence reports through the system in the 12 months to May 2012 - a 137% increase on the previous year.
The newspaper said that the Prism programme appeared to allow GCHQ to circumvent the formal legal process required to obtain personal material, such as emails, photographs and videos, from internet companies based outside the UK.
Labour MP Keith Vaz, said: "I am astonished by these revelations which could involve the data of thousands of Britons.
"The most chilling aspect is that ordinary American citizens and potentially British citizens too were apparently unaware that their phone and online interactions could be watched.
"This seems to be the Snooper's Charter by the back door. I shall be writing to the home secretary asking for a full explanation."
The UK's data protection watchdog the information commissioner, also raised concerns about the report.
"There are real issues about the extent to which US law enforcement agencies can access personal data of UK and other European citizens," the watchdog statement said in a statement.
"Aspects of US law under which companies can be compelled to provide information to US agencies potentially conflict with European data protection law, including the UK's own Data Protection Act.
"The ICO has raised this with its European counterparts, and the issue is being considered by the European Commission, who are in discussions with the US government."

Segundo este novo artigo acabado de publicar na BBC News, Wednesday 12 June, 



Eduardo Showden está em Hong Kong e diz que lutará contra qualquer pedido de extradição emitido pelos Estados Unidos da América do Norte. 

Bem, o Cartesius ergo sum duvida do verdadeiro paradeiro do Eduardo. Pode estar em Hong Kong, em Kowloon, Lisboa, Macau, e até mesmo nos USA.

Assim como disposto no artigo supra, o Eduardo revelou que a Secreta Yankee colocou uma aplicação na Cyboesfera, chanmada PRISMA, pela qual estamos todos sendo prismados, hackados, espiados, you name it. Quer dizer, chupam tudo quanto você envia para a  fibra óptica.

Ele trabalhava para uma agência de segurança informática envolvida nesta salganhada: viu, agiu.  fugiu e vamos ver se venciu.

 Este assunto Big Brother  não é surpresa para o Cartesius. É preciso  ser mesmo saloio para não saber that Big Brother is watching YOU, to a much greater extent than  Orwell imagined in 1984 written in the thirties. Oops! I´m writing in English when I should be writing in Portuguese. OK, then. This is for the UK and Angloworld  citizens who might think that G Orwell was a footballer, or a TV anchor man. Well he worked for the BiBiCi.

Spy leaker Edward Snowden 'vows to fight extradition'

Breaking news
Edward Snowden, the ex-CIA employee who leaked secret US surveillance details, has vowed to fight any attempt to extradite him from Hong Kong.
Mr Snowden told the South China Morning Post that he was "neither traitor nor hero. I'm an American".
It is the first interview he has given since leaving his hotel room in Hong Kong on Monday.
His leaks led to revelations that the US is systematically seizing vast amounts of phone and web data.
Mr Snowden left Hawaii for Hong Kong shortly before the highly sensitive leaks surfaced.
"I am not here to hide from justice; I am here to reveal criminality," Mr Snowden told the Post.
"My intention is to ask the courts and people of Hong Kong to decide my fate. I have been given no reason to doubt your system."

NESTES TEMPOS DIFÍCEIS É QUANDO O GRANDE CAPITAL CAÇA AS POUPANÇAS À CLASSE MÉDIA. É O MOMENTO DE ACERTAR CONTAS PARA DEITAR ABAIXO AQUELES QUE SE TOMAVAM POR INTELIGENTES, ATÉ CONFIAVAM NO SISTEMA DO GRANDE CAPITAL.  ANDAVAM JÁ A ARRICAR MUITO COM OS DENTES MUITO AFIADOS A PENSAR QUE TAMBÉM JÁ ERAM TUBARÕES.

QUANTO ÀS MASSAS LUMPENPROLETARIZADAS, ESSAS SÃO APENAS CARNE PARA CANHÃO, NÚMEROS AMORFOS CONTADOS EM PERCENTAGENS. CORTA CABEÇAS: DESEMPREGO PARA OS DESTABILIZAR TAMBÉM.

QUAL É O REMÉDIO PARA ISTO? NÃO HÁ. ESTE SISTEMA TEM RAIZES PROFUNDAS, É COMO AS SILVAS, NÃO SE CONSEGUE ACABAR COM ELAS, REBENTAM SEMPRE. NINGUÉM TEM MÃO NO CAPITALISMO, NEM OS OS PRÓPRIOS CAPITALISTAS! O SISTEMA AGE, MOVIMENTA-SE POR AR, TERRA, MAR, POR FIBRA ÓTICA E POR VIAS QUE NEM DEUS SABE. REGENERA-SE POR SI PRÓPRIO. 

EM SUMA: O SISTEMA CAPITALISTA É UM FRANKENSTEIN. CRIARAM-NO E AGORA NÃO O CONSEGUEM DOMAR. É O MONSTRO CRIADO PELO DR. FRANKENSTEIN DA MARIA SHELLEY.

Sir Mervyn King: Public are right to be angry at banks

Sir Mervyn KingSir Mervyn King is stepping down at the end of June

Related Stories

People have "every right to be angry" with banks for the UK's financial crisis, the outgoing Bank of England (BoE) governor Sir Mervyn King says.
In one of his last interviews before stepping down, for BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, he expressed sympathy with public frustration as slow growth takes its toll on living standards.
But the governor also cautioned that blaming individuals was a distraction.
Sir Mervyn said there were signs economic recovery was under way.
Canadian Mark Carney is to become the first foreign BoE governor when he takes over in July.
"In many ways, when the crisis hit in 2007-08 I was surprised that people weren't angry sooner," Sir Mervyn said, speaking to Kirsty Young for the programme.
"You can see it coming through now as the impact on standards of living becomes more obvious and they have every right to be angry.
"But this crisis wasn't caused by a few individuals, it was a crisis of the system of banking we had allowed to grow up.

Sir Mervyn's Desert Island Discs

Bob Dylan
There was a flurry of speculation about his musical tastes on Twitter. Using the hashtag #MervynSongGuesses, users suggested hits included Simply Red's Money's Too Tight to Mention and Abba's Money, Money, Money. His real selections were:
  • Mambo No 5 - Lou Bega
  • Mozart's Symphony No 40
  • Beethoven's 7th Symphony
  • Highway 61 - Bob Dylan
  • Rotterdam 82 - Doug O'Brien
  • I Remember the Wonderful Moment - Boris Gmyrya
  • London Concerto by Hugh Watkins, played by London Symphony Orchestra
  • My Ship from Lady in the Dark, performed by Anne-Sofie von Otter
"It's very important we don't demonise the individuals but we do keep cracking on with changing the system."
The 65-year-old also called on the public and media to give politicians "space" instead of demanding "immediate solutions".
He rejected criticism that BoE failed to anticipate the country's financial woe.
"That's complete nonsense because many things happen in the future that no-one can foresee," he said.
"What you pay the Bank of England for is to understand the nature of the system and to respond in the right way - and we did."
Sir Mervyn, who now intends to take a "gap year", said the economic crisis would have some positive legacies.
They include a reformed, "safer" banking system and a different moral view about making money.
"I go to schools and speak to sixth-formers and others. I found before the crisis that a disturbingly high proportion of them, instead of wanting to become engineers or scientists or musicians, wanted to go and work in the city," he said.
"Why? Because they wanted to make a lot of money. Now I think they don't really want to go and earn money if it is being earned in a way that creates enormous damage to the rest of society. I think that's a very healthy thing."
Sir Mervyn advised his successor Mr Carney simply to "be himself," adding: "He's an outstanding person but the important thing is that he does it in his own way."
Referring to his own time at the BoE, which began with a role as non-executive director in 1990, Sir Mervyn indicated he would allow others to rate his performance.
"I don't want to join the chorus of people who write books with the subtitle: Why I was right and everyone else was wrong," he said.
"The historians will make their judgements in 20 years' time."
Listen to Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4 at 11:45 BST on Sunday June 2 and 09:00 BST on Friday June 7, or afterwards on the BBC iPlayer.

138 Aulas massadores e tristes têm os dias contados

138. Cartesius Renatus

Temos recebido emails de leitores e leitoras queixando-se da falta de novas publicações no cartesiusrenatus. Aceitamos que temos andado muito calados quando muita coisa importante se está passando e que merece grandes comentários e descodificação.

A razão deste fato é que andamos em formação para depois podermos melhor servir a comunidade lusófona e anglófona. Logo viremos à superfície com mais qualidade na aprsentação e distribuição do blog. Watch this space!

Aproveitamos a oportunidade para apresentar os nossos cumprimentos aos numerosos leitores na Rússia, Estados Unidos, Brasil, Reino Unido e Portugal.  É curioso como podemos ter tantos leitors na Rússia, Deve por lá haver grande  interesse pela língua lusófona.

Morte aos catedráticos tristes, arrogantes e anacrónicos.

O artigo que se segue em Inglês  descreve como a forma de comunicação de saberes tem beneficiado pouco com a revolução dos multimédia. Parece que muitos catedráticos e não só ficaram colados ao passado  e ainda utilizam métodos anacrónicos de ensino.

diga-se de passagem que é preciso muita formação, investimento  e força de vontade para os professores dominarem as técnicas de utilização de recursos tecnológicos complementares na provisão de aulas.  Não é fácil  e muito professores estão-se nas tintas sobre isso e refugiam-se na facilidade  continuando  a leccionar alunos a dormir nos cantos dos anfiteatros sobretudo depois de uma noitada de farra.  A qualidade do ensino sofre e os alunos ficam a nadar, frustrados e cada ida às aulas transforma-se numa grande seca. Mas  isto não é um padrão generalizado.

 Felizmente também há muitos professores interessantíssimos, cujas aulas são verdadeiros espetáculos de transmissão  de saberes. Ninguém dorme porque esses mestres conseguem manter o aluno atento e desperto a todo o momento! Ninguém dormia nas aulas magistrais de cultura clássica  do Dr Jorge Deserto! Que grande comunicador! Nas aulas deste Mestre você não se via grego, mas saía de lá grego, grande sapiente sobre Esparta, Atenas e o Ateneu, passando pelos célebres dramaturgos do Rei Édipo, da Íliada e da Odisseia entre outros.

O artigo refere que a internet está a revolucionar o ensino e exalta  os milhões de artigos didáticos da  célebre free wikipedia, a qual toda a população Mundial poderá consultar na internet em frações de segundo. O acesso talvez seja mais complicado nos países de censura, onde as ditaduras controlam todo o tráfico de informação digital em movimentação pela fibra opica. 

Os Portugueses não têm problemas desses e têm acesso a tudo e mais alguma coisa. Os Salazares são hoje figuras anacrónicas do triste historial português, sem chance alguma de retorno, embora ainda haja cabeças doentias de beatos falsos, nostálgicos de obscurantismo a chorar por esse passado morto. Que tristeza! Esta gente vai mesmo enlouquecer se é que não deram já em malucos! 

Então você ainda não sabe abrir um computador, ainda é informaticamente analfabeto? Não diga isso a ninguèm porque parece mal. Está à espera de quê para abrir os olhos e fazer-se à vida, ao mundo e ao  desenvolvimento ? verá depois que valeu a pena. Se você fosse desses não estaria agora lendo  este artigo.



Jimmy Wales: Boring university lectures 'are doomed'


Jimmy Wales Jimmy Wales says "big-brand" universities will have to adapt to online learning
The boring university lecture is going to be the first major casualty of the rise in online learning in higher education, says Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales.
The custodian of the world's biggest online encyclopaedia says that unless universities respond to the rising tide of online courses new major players will emerge to displace them, in the way that Microsoft arrived from nowhere alongside the personal computer.

"I think that the impact is going to be massive and transformative," says Mr Wales, describing the importance of the MOOCs (massive open online courses) that have signed up millions of students.

"It's also been slower than anyone would have anticipated. But I'm not a person who thinks that people will be able to just go online and get a complete education without the guidance of the teacher. That sort of simplistic model shouldn't be our framework."

Instead he thinks that universities need to use online technology where it really works.

And from his own experience as a student, the traditional university lecture should have been condemned decades ago and replaced with an online video recording that can be stopped and started.

Recorded lectures "I was taking an advanced calculus class and my instructor was reputed to be a fabulous researcher, but he barely spoke English. He was a very boring and bad teacher and I was absolutely lost and in despair. 

"So I went to the campus tutoring centre and they had Betamax tapes of a professor who had won teaching awards. Basically I sat with those tapes and took class there. But I still had to go to the other one and sat there and wanted to kill myself.


WIKIPEDIA HIGHS AND HOAXES

  • Most recent monthly figures, for March 2013, show a new high of more than 21 billion page views
  • Biggest region for readers is Europe, almost twice as large as North America
  • 78,000 regular editors
  • Hoax entries included a biography of blues singer Snow Blind Driveway; wet floor warning signs dating to 220BC; Reich Corps of the Trombone set up by Goebbels; and that Brierfield in Lancashire was the inspiration for JRR Tolkien's evil land of Mordor
  • Most edited and most vandalised entry is for George W Bush
  • Deleted categories include "Permanent residents of hell" and "Guys who used to have long hair"
  • Most visited entry in a single day remains Michael Jackson when news broke of the singer's death
"I thought at that time, in the future, why wouldn't you have the most entertaining professor, the one with the proven track record of getting knowledge into people's heads?
"We're still not quite there. In university you're still likely to be in a large lecture hall with a very boring professor, and everyone knows it's not working very well. It's not even the best use of that professor's time or the audience."

Online courses provide such libraries of video lectures, supplemented with interactive information, that can be used at any time on a tablet computer or laptop.
And Mr Wales suggests the future model of higher education will be to allow students to use recordings of lectures - and to use the teaching time to discuss and develop what students have been watching.

"It seems much more effective and is the direction I think we're going to go."
Wikipedia itself is central to this changing landscape in which huge amounts of high-quality information are available free anywhere with an internet connection.
The sheer scale of the information and the volume of its consumption has no parallel in history. Wikipedia's latest internet traffic is running at more than 21 billion page impressions per month.

But he says it remains uncertain whether universities will be ready to change. "There's a certain inertia in the system."

Adapt or die "The really interesting challenge for big-brand universities is whether they are going to move into that space. If we thought of universities as normal businesses we would say, 'Will they be able to adapt to the PC revolution?' It's that kind of question. Will Harvard or MIT, Oxford or Cambridge, be able to adapt? Or will Microsoft come out of nowhere?
Mobile phones in a Bangkok shopping mall Wikipedia's mobile site has reached more than 3 billion page views per month
"It's going to be really fascinating to see it unfold."

In terms of technology in education, he says we should look at how it's being driven by interest in home schooling.

"In the US, for younger children, the home schooling movement is huge.
"There are a load of online educational resources, they're booming. Parents are looking for the best education for their kids, they realise these tools are working. There's a marketplace for it long before the traditional school is going to think about it."

Mr Wales himself grew up in a small private school run by his mother and grandmother in Alabama. There were four other children in his grade.
"It was like a one-room schoolhouse, the kind of place Abe Lincoln went to school," he says.

"Education was our life, something incredibly valued by my family."
Developing world An important part of Wikipedia's future focus, he says, is going to reach the modern world's version of isolated school houses in the developing world. 

In wealthier countries there might be the luxury of a debate about whether Wikipedia is better or worse than printed encyclopaedias. But Mr Wales wants to support languages in Africa where there have never been encyclopaedias in the first place.


“Start Quote

What is much more deeply political is the concept of Wikipedia, that ordinary people should be able to participate in the grand human dialogue. It's a very subversive idea in a society that is top-down”
Jimmy Wales
 
Wikipedia operates in 286 different languages, but the content is very unevenly spread. There are more than 4 million articles in English, while Xhosa, spoken by almost 8 million people in South Africa, only has 147 articles.
"Our role in languages of the developing world is quite different from our role in English.

"We've still got a long way to go. I'd say we've increasingly turned our focus to the languages of the developing world. It's really of great importance. Our goal is a free encyclopaedia for everyone in their own language."

He rejects the idea that Wikipedia's instant knowledge represents some kind of dumbing down. It has long been accused of being the hidden hand in countless school and university assignments.

But Mr Wales says it plays a vital democratic role in allowing ordinary people to become informed in a way that would never have been possible before.

If there is a story in the news, people can find out the background for themselves. "We can see it in our traffic. There's a massive spike.

"In some rose-coloured view of the past we all went home and read books about it. The truth is that we didn't.

"It's remarkable that people now have the opportunity. It's not a Utopian state, but people have the possibility to do their own research."

Pub quiz Mr Wales also defends what Wikipedia represents for free speech in countries with censorship and a lack of human rights.
Young Ones parody of University Challenge, 1984  

Do not expect Wikipedia's chief to follow the Young Ones on a television quiz
"The impact of the knowledge we bring is important, but what is much more deeply political is the concept of Wikipedia, that ordinary people should be able to participate in the grand human dialogue. 

"It's a very subversive idea in a society that is top-down and 'do as your masters tell you,'" he says.

The online encyclopaedia is now 12 years old, launched in the same month as iTunes and when Greece adopted the euro. It has grown to 26 million articles and has more than 500 million individual users a month.

Wikipedia's next development will be to make it easier for a wider variety of people to write and edit articles, with an editing tool that is more user-friendly.
"For people who aren't computer geeks, it's intimidating. The user base of active editors tend to be computer-savvy. We want to diversify, so they can be geeks but not computer geeks."

Of course, there's still a big unanswered question. How would the king of Wikipedia get on in a pub quiz? Would he have to illicitly check his smartphone under the table?

"I've declined to go on a TV quiz show. There's no upside for me. Unless I get every single question right I'm going to be subject to mockery. Because I'm meant to be the encyclopaedia guy."
