Impersonating a cop
After a long gap, Wikileaks resumes the highly useful and GOOD leaks of CIA/NSA evil.

These leaks are powerful because their mere existence HALTS EVIL. These releases are DEFENSIVE WEAPONS, giving defenders ammunition against NSA/CIA crimes. Other leaks, such as the DNC stuff, are helpful but not weapons; they verify what we already know.

In this case the overall purpose of destroying Kaspersky was already visible in previous releases. The infecting vectors always took SPECIAL PAINS to get around Kaspersky protection.

The new release shows that CIA/NSA were trying to impersonate Kaspersky, in order to cash in on Kaspersky's well-earned reputation for solid and unbiased protection.

This is identical to impersonating a policeman.

Last night my bedtime OTR playlist happened to include a 'This is your FBI' episode that I hadn't heard before. Listening to it with a modern Wikileaks-informed ear was especially enjoyable.

The episode is about "Russian" spies trying to sabotage American factories. The writers had to think of something because Russian spies, unlike Jap and Kraut spies, had never actually sabotaged American factories. The "Russians" were trying to slow down production without stopping it or damaging products, because stops or damage would be detected.

How would anyone even NOTICE slow production in 1951? Our "loyal" unions were SHUTTING DOWN industry for six months at a time. A slowdown without stopping would have IMPROVED the performance of industry in those years.

Then as now, all problems had to be attributed to "Russians" so we wouldn't notice that our own Deepstate and corporations and unions were starving us and ruining our country.

Irrelevant sidenote: The episode started with two "spies" meeting at a classical concert. The music was baroque, NOT the standard classics that everyone knew in 1951. It sounded a lot like Fasch, who hadn't been "rediscovered" yet. Closely resembles the second movement of this sinfonia. It's possible that the show's music director was showing off his own composing abilities while making a point about the dullness of Beethoven and Brahms.
