It did not take long after the terrorist attacks in Paris for state police hawks calling for more police powers. Encryption bans have been proposed, as well as the regulation of bitcoin by European interior ministers. But it turns out that the terrorists communicated in clear and traceable used their own credit cards. This shows how the state police hawks exploit all possible tragedies to demand more power for themselves.
The body was not even cold before the state's hawks police jumped on the situation and demanded more power for themselves. CIA Director John Brennan, US Senator John McCain and others have requested a total ban on encryption (or "backdoors" or "golden key" for themselves or any other euphemism for an effective ban on the encryption), "because terrorism."
But terrorists do not use encryption. They communicated entirely clear wiretappable open. They also use their own, traceability, credit cards
New York Times editorial called A model of a "ritual yet predictable miserable." - How some people in authority immediately try to exploit tragedies to reduce freedom across the board. But this time, it became more ludicrous than ever by those circumventing the traditional flow oldmedia -. Which is increasingly the majority of the population
To top stupidity, Reuters reports that the European Union is preparing a crackdown bitcoin to "fight against terrorism following the Paris attacks, "when Bitcoin was not even used in the first place. Quoting the top Reddit comment :.". They are more stupid than the terrorists "It is obvious that these so-called authority figures still live in a time when they were able to control the narrative
US allies and funded ISIS against Assad, provided weapons, provided training and now will blame bitcoin for blowback

And that is the problem here, is not it?
it was ten years ago, many people thought that Iraq held weapons of mass destruction. It was a complete fabrication, a lie, which resulted in 1.2 million people and rising Daesh (ISIL). What authority figures want people to believe today, the exact same way? For they have not changed in the slightest
The problem here -. For the - is the rise of the net, and more specifically, the loss of narrative the opportunity for people to check the facts and talk to each other rather than being Spoonfed messages. Bitcoin and encryption technologies are key here. There are over as defense minister put out a lie in a public comment field no such thing; they will have their pants pulled down by a 14 year old with facts in under 30 seconds. (This fact happened in a surveillance debate to start. They did not return to the field of public comment. Bloggers welcome advised them that "when you discuss the Internet, you can not lie.")
therefore it is not surprising that these authority figures are pushing to ban the two technologies that undermine their own power (which has nothing to do with the scapegoat of terrorism). But they need to be called on it. again and again and again.
