In Worrisome Move, Kaspersky Agrees to Turn Over Source Code to US Government
Over the last couple of weeks, there’s been a disturbing trend of governments demanding that private tech companies share their source code if they want to do business. Now, the US government is giving the same ultimatum and it’s getting what it wants.
On Sunday, the CEO of security firm Kaspersky Labs, Eugene Kaspersky, told the Associated Press that he’s willing to show the US government his company’s source code. “Anything I can do to prove that we don’t behave maliciously I will do it,” Kaspersky said while insisting that he’s open to testifying before Congress as well.
The company’s willingness to share its source code comes after a proposal was put forth in the Senate that “prohibits the [Defense Department] from using software platforms developed by Kaspersky Lab.” It goes on to say, “The Secretary of Defense shall ensure that any network connection between … the Department of Defense and a department or agency of the United States Government that is using or hosting on its networks a software platform [associated with Kaspersky Lab] is immediately severed.”
Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat tells ABC News, that there is “a consensus in Congress and among administration officials that Kaspersky Lab cannot be trusted to protect critical infrastructure.” The fears follow years of suspicion from the FBI that Kaspersky Labs is too close to the Russian government. The company is based in Russia but has worked with both Moscow and the FBI in the past, often serving as a go-between to help the two governments cooperate. “As a private company, Kaspersky Lab has no ties to any government, and the company has never helped, nor will help, any government in the world with its cyberespionage efforts,” an official statement from Kaspersky Labs reads.
The proposal prompted an official response from Russian Communications Minister Nikolay Nikiforov. He warned that any “unilateral political sanctions” would prompt retaliation from Russia. He emphasized that his government uses “a huge proportion of American software and hardware solutions in the IT sphere, even in very sensitive areas.”

The “Government” need to find back doors and exploits so they can access anyone’s computer – just like they have with all the other anti-V’s

And why on earth should we trust governments? Who is checking governments? What when governments have been corrupted? What when we have proof that governments are corrupt? What when our financial system it totally corrupt and governments are standing by and cooperate with them? What when multinationals are corrupt and act outside the law? What when this game has been going on for decades? What when organisations as UN are fully infiltrated and do not act on behalf of the people? What when the BIS bank is totaly and fully independent from any supervision? What when we have proof that banks as Rothschild started WW I and WWII and if they can WWIII. What when the vatican appears not to be what we think and that they are a totally corrupt and evil organisation who are practising child and human sacrifice? What when there is nothing royal to royal bloodlines other than that they are parasites in every aspect. What when it appears that we the people have been robbed, murdered, lied to, withheld knowledge of the universe, withheld free energy? What when 90 % of all earlty belongings rests with a very small group of less than 5 % ….
And the story goes on and on …
It all starts with consciousness …. Inform yourself and spread the word and we will create a new world.
