Cyber Guardian to the Banksters gives a speech to the flock
Keith Alexander: “Freedom is not free.” No, advice on the matter costs a million bucks a month for some, maybe.
Briefly retired ex-NSA director Keith Alexander has been busy. “He’s already out pushing hard,” as someone pointed out earlier this week.
And he just pushed hard as the keynote speaker at the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit, an national security megaplex affair where it is assured that a percentage of the attendees are directors or employers of businesses and agencies writing software for spying and generally making things more untrustworthy on the net.
An excerpt on Alexander’s opinions, from the web:
Without mentioning former Snowden or any specific news organization, Alexander said the revelations about the tools and processes the NSA uses to conduct mass surveillance have had a “devastating??? impact on national security. “It’s devastating not only for our country but for Europe,??? he said, adding he thinks that Islamic militant terrorist organizations seem “to be learning from these leaks??? and evading some detections.
He said the freedom enjoyed in the U.S. arises from the security provided by the military and law enforcement. “Freedom is not free,??? he said to the Gartner audience of security professionals.
Got that? Freedom in the US only comes from the money spent on the national security megaplex.
While it’s quite a twisting of the concept of democracy, which we no long have a function example of, anyway, there is a nugget of truth deep within.
The “freedom” the country enjoys, mostly the freedom to shop and collectively spend more money on national security, is kinda preserved by the beliefs put into action by our Keith Alexanders.
Continuing a regular arguing point, Alexander told the security flock that terrorism is increasing.
“Alexander referenced the growing violence around the world, specifically citing more than 1,700 executions at the hands of the Islamic State Iraq and Syria (ISIS),” reads one report from yesterday.
And who set the stage for that?
General Keith Alexander doesn’t live in the same world that I, or anyone I know, does. And the biggest example of it has been Edward Snowden and Alexander’s continuing speeches on the affair and value of the latter’s security work to everyone’s well-being.
Which will all go to hell if he and his successors are not enabled to be ever more on guard.
“[Alexander said] if attackers launch major denial of service attacks or destroy data held in financial systems, for example, the consequences are severe for all,” reads a report on the Gartner summit.
In usage of the cliche of patriots, “freedom is not free,” Alexander puts himself in the company of, wait for it, Ted Nugent.

And do enjoy, one more time, the reprint of another PARIAH, one of my favorites in the bunch. Sha–a-a-a-a-a-a-r-e.
Finally, if someone reading comes along with some experience in the matter, do enlighten me.
Why do people at these things sit and listen to speeches like Keith Alexander’s? What’s the motivation?
