Activism does work --- Defense Manohar Parrikar forced to accept that imported routers can have trapdoors , though he refuses to accept that imported weapons have kill switches
.
Since 2008 , we at Right to Recall Group , and MANY MORE ACTIVISTS , have been working to convince activists that imports and FDI are bad, because they male it easy for enemies to place kill switches (and back doors) in equipment and weapons. And so when real war starts, the enemy can make that weapon useless.
.
Congress / BJP / AAP / RSS / BST workers all opposed and brushed us all as another just two bit "conspiracy theorists". As per them, kill switch was fakenews and if it was real news, then their neta would have informed them.
.
A few weeks back, I wrote a post that "with one push button, Google CEO can switch off all Android phones in India, and MNC-owners can shut doiwn all power plans and all phone switches in India, " . Again, most CoBhApSwaRa-workers laughed. I asked them to ask their friends who are writing android apps or iPhone apps. And the fact came clear before them --- that shutting down phone network in India is now child's play for USUK-MNC-owners.
.
So now, BJP leaders could see that deny the existence of kill switch will only lower their reputation in front of their own activists. IOW, truth was out.
.
So BJP leaders are now talking about Kill Switches, as if they are the FIRST one to inform Indians about it, Well NO. They are the people who worked hard to hide this information from activists and voters.
.
So finally, Parrikar says ""Information is important tool and we cannot have routers which are functioning from abroad where there might be bugs to sabotage or cause leakage of vital information and data. We should have routers for at least important networking from our own creations,"
.
Again, Parrikar downplays the threat by using the word "bug" !!! Bug is something non-deliberate and accidental, and they dont cause trapdoors and kill switches. Bugs can cause accidental failure, but NOT a sabotage.
.
And Parrikar cites the threat for routers and not for weapons like fighter planes that we imported from UK , France etc !!! IOW, even when he is forced by situation to admit that kill switches exist, he is ONLY giving half truths.
.
And Parrikar tells a BIGGER lie --- he says that FDI based Indian manufacturing is solution to kill switch problem !!! Thats a lie. He is promoting that lie because he is has been an MNC-puppet and MNC-owners have ordered him to promote FDI in India. The solution is to have companies which are making in India, and 100% owned by Indian citizens, and all technical staff is also 100% India. SoMoKe and Parrikar have all opposed this proposal and insisted on FDI.
.
So all in all, this shows that activism does work. On our own, by spreading information about kill switches, we have forced even Minister to publicly accept that kill switches exist,.
.
So all in all, activism does work
