[@moondoggie7478]

If you have at&t, they have an app that will automatically block calls that are spam. They won't be able to even send you a voicemail unless it's a debt collector. I kept getting texts about a "usps package" that was unable to be delivered, and a text entirely in chinese about thanking me for a piano lesson... multiple times from multiple numbers. I don't get those texts anymore. The app is called Active Armor. It also comes with a vpn. If you get something like Aura or visit DeleteMe, you can get your number, email, and other things removed from the internet, at least temporarily. Google offers that service too.

@zagarak said _"' 'you won't see American companies handing data over to the government' "_ She said that you won't see US government organizations just handing secrets over to companies, not the other way around. It's a big difference.

[@zagarak]

Actually she said "you won't have an American intelligence officer meet with a fortune 500 company ceo and just hand over that and say 'here, this is what we got from the chinese'". She doesn't expressly state who is handing over what. Interpret it as you wish but if you're going to requote a misquote, requote it verbatim.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the US finance colleges research, then private companies take what was publicly funded and make it private?

[@Dwigt_Rortugal]

Or the researchers go and form a startup? In either case, if the research pans out, the government may hire the private company as a contractor. A huge amount of what our government accomplishes is through contracts with companies that have the expertise. Sometimes the lines even get a little blurry, because government and private employees work side by side on the same projects.

[@JerehmiaBoaz]

@@Dwigt_Rortugal The point remains that it's still the government that funds the research and not the private companies with all of their expertise. It's expensive, there is no guarantee of success and last but not least if the research was done by a private entity the results would either be patented or become trade secrets, so the research wouldn't be as beneficial to society.

I think it's practically necessary these days to do "false bribes" within your own company (including government and military) to determine who would be at risk for taking the bait, then you simply fire those people and cut all ties with them. And this should have been happening before now, I think it would have lessened the risk of so many of these breaches that have occurred. And the false bribes would need to be very tricky, like not always the same approach to the employee that way no one ever truly can tell real from fake. Employees and gov personnel would be quite more hesitant to ever consider real bribes this way.

Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on? Speaking of Europe which is actually a huge livable Continent with 45 nations. Russia alone is a ginormous nation which occupies nearly half of Europe with a relatively small population. Nearly half of mainland Asia, from Siberia to Far-East Asia also is inside Russia. By the way, the 'land grab' is more of the same in Asia-Pacific region where European Colonizers such as Britain and Russia have already Colonized half of Asia, stretching from Australia/New Zealand, to Siberia/Far-East, all in Asia-Pacific region. The fact that they need to repent & repay their sins & crimes. After all, it's "a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do" thing. Like I said, repay and repent for your long overdue crimes and sins. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. "History is written by the victors." - Napoleon Bonaparte Speaking of 'the rule of Law', may I ask where is the rule of law when the West is practicing centuries-long global Slavery, Colonialism & Colonization? May I ask when will the West face justice for their notorious centuries-long global crimes of Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization from North/South America to Australia/New Zealand? Speaking of 'crime'.., remember, it’s only a crime if you lose. The Anglo Western bloc had been on the winning side for about three centuries.
