NO MORE SECRETS
by THE GNN/DualCrew-Shining/uXu
It is a familiar fact that a phenomena can be described in several ways,
dependent upon what kind of knowledge the speaker holds. This fact turns
into a problem when one tries to apply consequential ethics to actions.
Consequential ethics regards the causal effects that follows from action as
the important part. For example; if someone killed Adolf Hitler the
consequentialist would say that it was a morally correct action since it
stopped WWII, while other ethics (deontologic for example) may claim that
the action was wrong since killing is always (intrinsically) wrong.
We live in a society were the consequences are important when it comes
to measuring what is good and evil, right or wrong. Naturally, the above
problem is far from absent. But since this kind of meta-ethics is too hard
for many people to understand, the problem is simply ignored because people
are not really aware of it.
One way of describing 'computer crime', 'hacking' and 'phreaking' is to
claim that it is wrong, wrong and, of course, wrong. Satan has offered the
new electronic apple from the tree of knowledge to some people and turned
them into 'criminals' that seeks the power of information (hence, with
'computer crimes' I do not mean computer-related theft or equal). Systems
are cracked, secrets are exposed - the state, our new God, wants to throw
these bad guys out of paradise.
Since the state owns the monopoly of violence, it will use violence to
reach this goal. If violence is not enough, the state will spread lies and
misinformation to the population instead. The state will shout that
hackers are dangerous individuals that must be stopped by all means. Since
the population is only given the point of view of the state, no real debate
will start concerning the subject. Hackers are criminals, they must be
stopped - end of discussion.
The state does not spread this twisted view of the computer underground
to protect the people. The state only protects itself. But it needs help
from ignorant people to survive. People that cannot think for themselves,
people that are so brain-washed that they seem to enjoy being fed with lies
from the state, they are the perfect mob for this project. Unfortunately,
this mob is the majority. They are the victims of our society. They are
the 'common people', the robots that work, watch television (the drug of
the nation), work, eat, sleep and die without questioning their lives.
They live as modern slaves, because someone told them that this is the only
way of living. Guess who told them this? The state, naturally.
So we have two forces; the state versus the computer underground. The
state says that hacking is wrong. The computer underground claims that it
is right.
Now we move on to the other description of the same phenomena. This
time we will study the correct version.
The main argument against hacking is - naturally - that it undermines
national security. The secrets are not secret anymore if people are able
to gain access to them. Now, what is this thing called 'secrets'? What
kind of secrets are so secret that they may cause chaos of they are
exposed?
The state answers to this question; 'The secrets are secret because if
they were public, war and terror would rule. The russians would attack us,
the arabs would attack us, Europe would attack us, United States would
attack us - if they knew our secrets. Therefor, only the men in the ruling
position ought to know about them, because they are the ones that know how
to handle it. Hackers will ruin our country, our dream and blah blah
blah.'
This is obviously wrong. It is the secrets themselves that cause war,
just because they are secret. It is the old way of looking at things, the
selfish, primitive, medieval, way that causes trouble. A few good men has
played around with each other, as if the world was nothing more than a game
of Conspiracy, far too long. Wars, espionage, cold wars, assassinations,
CIA, KGB etc etc etc. The ones who have to pay the price is the
population. If you ask yourself 'what is it good for?' you will find that
the answers will move around in small circles.
'Secrets are necessary to protect us from war (or equal)' - 'War is
necessary to protect our secrets' and so on.
What if there were no more secrets? It is time to end the government
domination, free us from our chains.
Hacking punches small holes into the balloon of secrets. Secrets gush
out of it, and soon the balloon is turned into a worthless piece of crap.
The state tries to cover the holes, since it wants to protect itself.
People realize that the contents in the balloon is not dangerous for
themselves, it is only harmful for the state itself. When we have gotten
rid of the last secret, there will not be possible for the state to spread
more lies and misinformation.
The secrets are dangerous for us only when they are secret.
The state is bad for our health.
There is nothing called 'the public good'. There are only individuals
with individual dreams and goals. To sacrifice people, entire nations,
just because a few members of the government think it is necessary for
the 'public good' - is wrong. What is good for the 'public' is only good
for the abstract and aggressive phenomena called the State. It is only
good for protecting the secrets.
Hacking is the concrete method of creating the new world order.
The fact that some slaves of the system describe the computer
underground in a certain negative way does not mean that they are beholders
of the truth. They are simply not aware of the real truth. They are
simply unable to view the situation from the correct angle.
However, one does not discuss this view without problems. This file may,
by some people, be regarded as one that does encourage people to hack,
which makes it illegal in their eyes.
Would you like to prosecute me? Be my guest. You may call it a
criminal act - I prefer to label this 'information'.
No more secrets.
