Overtly open operators II...






Following on from the previous post: 'Why May put Huawei before security', by Bruce Newsome writing at Conservative Woman:


"Here is where the Huawei scandal links back to a larger scandal of machinations to favour the EU over the US, to favour macro-economic vanity over national security, to favour authoritarianism over democracy.


Huawei is already embedded in Britain’s elite..." [...]


..."So there you have the full sordid web of anti-American interests, inter-personal backstabbing, civil service authoritarianism, weak premiership, and economic corruption that make this government put Huawei before security. May’s government is sacrificing national security, the special relationship, and Brexit in favour of Chinese money and EU integration."

A worrying trend in all this is that the UK's unaccountable civil servants - mainly rabid EUphiles are being given far too much power and can pretty much do as they please: Cabinet Secretary Mark Sedwill being the latest example leading to the sacking of Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson over the leak of the National Security Council’s decision re Huawei. Sedwill actually sits on the same NSC so that decision stinks too! Treason May is enabling this abuse of power to the nth degree, we saw it re the Chequers debacle, the Withdrawal agreement itself, various other sackings (the Priti Patel ousting too) which entirely coincidentally see pro-Brexit ministers replaced with Remain stooges.



Update: Mark Wallace's take is well worth a read: "Risking our security. Risking our alliances. Opening our infrastructure up to China is a risk too far."

Are you listening Mrs May? Away with you; Huawei with you. Don't take your treason over Brexit to even higher levels by selling our security down the river: I can't believe you (and the Coalition and Cameron before you) and your dumb-arse advisors knew nothing of this. "Vodafone Found Hidden Backdoors in Huawei Equipment". "Europe’s biggest phone company identified hidden backdoors in the software that could have given Huawei unauthorized access to the carrier’s fixed-line network in Italy..."[Bloomberg]





Although this was several years ago and was promised to be fixed, nothing was done.The UK further risks being alienated from our closest allies, 5 Eyes and the Angloshere by such debilitating actions; another reason to get free from the EU and the over-reliance on Huawei: "[it] is simply too important to Europe's telecoms infrastructure. Spurning Huawei would put Europe at risk of falling behind the US and China in the race to build out 5G infrastructure."


"Vodafone asked Huawei to remove backdoors in home internet routers in 2011 and received assurances from the supplier that the issues were fixed, but further testing revealed that the security vulnerabilities remained, the documents show. Vodafone also identified backdoors in parts of its fixed-access network known as optical service nodes, which are responsible for transporting internet traffic over optical fibers, and other parts called broadband network gateways, which handle subscriber authentication and access to the internet, the people said. The people asked not to be identified because the matter was confidential."

Obvious onomatomania; others' onomatophobia...






A bidet: the chamber pot, the bourdaloue, the 'anal douche': used for washing and cleaning oneself, especially ones sensitive private parts, after a shitty experience. Bidet, B Day, Brexit Day... today ...BI Day: Britain's Independence Day. Some people hate the word, I love it: Brexit, Brexit, BREXIT!



Dates for history books: 23-06-16, 29-03-17 and whenever FfEU (Eff You) Day is.



The 'phoney war' is over, now the "countdown to Brexit has officially begun." [Link"As the British Prime Minister left for parliament to officially brief MPs on the triggering of Article 50, her envoy in Brussels handed over the official notification letter to the EU Council President Donald Tusk."

Odium of others...










Click on map for Max Fisher at the Washington Post, World Views: "A fascinating map of the world’s most and least racially tolerant countries". The Anglosphere, Nordic and Latin American countries leading the way. Worth reading the updates too and Steve Saideman's comments.
