It’s official: The German supreme court approved the “Bundestrojaner “. German link only, but I am sure many links in all languages will follow soon…
Anyway, the Bundestrojaner is a trojan horse the government put’s on your computer.
The spying is only ok if human lives or the existence of the state are endangered. What do think how many other countries love those German politicians and judges right now? And especially Germany, a country haunted by their Third Reich past.

We all know how those things work out: Give the government a finger and they’ll rip out your arm. Or more.

We all know that laws are broken; by bad guys the so called criminals and by the good guys; just look at the news and the amount of complaints and lawsuits. But putting spyware on peoples computers?

1984 wasn’t that bad, or was it?

Or maybe this was a stroke of genius from the German government - to decrease unemployment rates. Think about it: Now everyone will get busy to get more and more anti-spy-software. Anti-government software. And the Government will get busy to write more and more trojans. It also gives a totally new meaning to buyer beware: “This computer is officially government infested.” Welcome to the world of the anti-anti-anti-trojan…

Of course the one thing you will not see is that this trojan will land on the computers of those government officials that do wrong, steal, lie, betray, molest, abuse power….

What a sad day for human kind.

Wouldn’t you agree?

PS: Germany, the same country that has states paying hackers to decrypt Skype conversations…

A few weeks ago I posted a poll asking if the economics is in a healthy state:


Today, German and other news reports that the stock markets in Europe and Asia plummet. In Germany it’s the worst day since 9/11. Another Black Monday? I think we can all be happy that the US markets are closed in observation of Martin Luther King Day. The German Kanzleramt (that’s like the White House) says this is just a temporary market issue, nothing to worry about.

Doesn’t that just sound way too familiar?

Can we trust that those advisors in the White House or anywhere else that didn’t see any signs of a recession or even any economic downturn even a few days ago are now able to turn the wheel and get the country out of this deadly loop? I have my doubts.

And you?

Besides that, when a single person gets $800.00 and a family get’s $1,600.00 than politics proves once again that those families with more than two family members are screwed again. After all, big families consume more - just by their size, right?

I do not know about you, but for me those are true signs of a recession and a world economics that needs help to become healthy again.

Where is a leader when economics need one?
