Do the big corporate entities, in control of the US government, have an
interest in infiltrating and subverting every Free Software-related
organization? (Most definitely, they do.)
Does the US government have a habit of infiltrating and sabotaging
organizations opposed to the corporate interests that it serves? (Yes, it
does.)
Has the US government infiltrated any main/big Free Software-related
organization, with the above-mentioned purposes? (I don't know... But, I most
definitely wouldn't be surprised to learn that... And, the known facts,
revealed in that article, point to that suspicion...)
For this reasons, I'm not surprised to read (and listen to) this, concerning
Debian...
And, I already didn't trust any corporate GNU/Linux distributions.
(Including: "Red Hat", that has deep ties with the US government; and
"Ubuntu", that even uses the same design as the British equivalent of the
NSA.)
And, since I don't personally know any of the people responsible for other
smaller distros, that have "benevolent dictators for life", in front of them,
I don't know if I can trust them, or not.
For these reasons, only the distributions made by non-profit organizations,
that have a clear and transparent pro-Free Software policy, are the ones that
I put my confidence in. Although, it's never a /total/ confidence. Since, I
know (from experience) how every activist/progressive organization can be
infiltrated and subverted, to different extends.
Thanks for sharing that most interesting piece of news, bitbit.
