      The world politicians think the WWW was a mistake. They Hate the Idea that citizens have the freedom to exchange information and Ideas so quickly influencing the masses. KILLING net neutrality is the way they will begin to remove and disable these freedoms.

      The United Nations are in the mix to …. All global government entities are involved in destroying the WWW as we know it now ..... Its not just corporate GREED, it is the stripping of our ability to communicate our thoughts and Ideas to the masses. Our freedom to communicate empowers the people to organize ..... For what Governments have planned for the future, they need to disable/disrupt the flow of public information so they cripple our ability to ORGANIZE and influence the masses.

                @Derelict:

                This is all very depressing.  Can Hifn and other accelerators be trusted?  Intel AES-NI? Probably not.

                The biggest benefit for AES-NI is network communications. NSA would have to have control of both sides because if AES-NI stopped working correctly on one side, it would break the connection. The biggest benefit would be causing AES-NI to not work on storage and that would require the NSA to entirely disable it, meaning their storage would stop working.

                It would only be beneficial for a select few cases where the window of opportunity would be very small, it would be easily detectable, and once word got out, Intel would have a horrible PR day.

                  IMO the NSA is a terrorist organization.  I stand by that statement and will not retract it.

                  They remind me of an old Monte Python skit spoofing Robin Hood (Dennis Moore).  Eventually the NSA became what they were supposedly fighting.

                  The NSA is a terrorist organization that must be stopped.

                      Given all that is currently happing, geo-politically wise, especially the plane, I am really wondering what happened in the world during the past 25 years.

                      6 and a half billion people know that they are stupid, agressive, lower life forms.

                          Untold number of years ago, I recall learning that No Such Agency selected a few "smiling faces", and commanded then to 'sheath thine dagger', and open cloaks, in a P.R. campaign, reaching out to corporations, great and small.  They had giveaways, such as frisbees, with logos like, 'You gotta trust someone.'  See, they were proffering digital "security" software products.  "Yeeeeaaaas!  'Welcome to my parlor!', said the spider, to the fly."  (Has anyone seen Pulp Fiction?)

                          Per this thread's weaving, and, as a newscaster might say, "In an 'unrelated' story"…  I've noticed my W.I.S.P.'s throttling, after issuing a vague policy...  But, if I say "Mesh Network", or "B.A.T.M.A.N." to anyone in my village of idiots, I might as well wear an overtly obvious Faraday Cage Hat.

                          Maybe I'll get lucky and a Google Balloon will get blown off course, subesequently becoming permanently snagged amidst some undergarments, strung out to dry, in a nearby mobile home/trailer park. I would have all the "free" internet access I'd want, "if the price is right!"; that is, if Google approved of my browsing habits.  ;)
