Bridge to health is suicide.

"A global media investigation has revealed that Pegasus, a telephone hacking software invented in Israel and supposedly sold only to governments, has been used across the world to tap the phones of politicians, journalists, NGOs and others. In India, the 300 targets include Rahul Gandhi, two serving Union ministers and 40 journalists," wrote Swaminathan SA Aiyar. "But this is not just a game to subvert press freedom -- that is a tiny side-effect of a much bigger game. Snooping has become the very heart of national security, and covers almost everybody under sundry laws." Aiyar is trying to cover up for the government but spying on foreign governments is not at all same as surveillance of citizens to suppress any form of protest and opposition. Alan Turing's code breaking has been made into a movie. "Germany's Army, Air Force and Navy transmitted many thousands of coded messages each day during World War II," BBC. "Thanks to Turing and his codebreakers, much of this information ended up in allied hands -- sometimes within an hour or two of it being transmitted." This was perfectly justified during World War II in which a staggering 75-80 million are estimated to have died, wikipedia. Is the Indian government trying to emulate the East German secret police the Stasi, which was short for Ministerium fur Staatsicherheit, which stands for 'Ministry for State Security'? Britannica. "Within East Germany it sought to infiltrate every institution of society and every aspect of daily life, including even intimate personal and familial relationships." Combine Pegasus with Aadhaar, the greatest mass surveillance system anywhere in the world, forced on citizens of India, and you have total government control over our lives and activities. Former CIA official and whistleblower Edward Snowden "said that Aadhaar is creating a systemisation of public which is completely unrelated to the agenda of Aadhaar," indiatoday. Even as people were dying of the coronavirus the government was using the virus as an excuse to increase surveillance by trying to force citizens to download Arogya Setu app on our phones which would then be able to track everyone 24/7. 'Aarogya setu' means 'bridge to health'. "Strangely though, no one seems concerned about the fine print: the government can share your data with unspecified 'other agencies' for unspecified 'other purposes'," wrote Kalyani Menon Sen. "Terror has always been a trusty ally of the state." "It was the imaginary spectre of violent terrorists that led the public to support surveillance of human rights activists. The Aarogya Setu app too capitalises on our terror of an invisible and deadly enemy." The world thinks India has become an electoral autocracy, BBC, but the government dismisses it as "misleading, incorrect and misplaced", Times of India (TOI). "Uttar Pradesh  Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said social media at present was like a 'belagaam ghora [unbridled horse]', and urged the workers and office-bearers of the BJP's IT and Social Media cell here to 'train and prepare' to rein it in," "The Indian Express (TIE). Manage the news through fake concern, manufactured dangers to society, threats and universal surveillance of citizens to hang on to power by any which way possible. "When Indian politicians retire, they don't," wrote TS George. "What makes Indian politics unique is its focus on the self. Every politician is convinced that it is his right to become a minister. Every minister believes that it is his right to remain a minister as long as he lives." Anything, no matter how nauseating, is acceptable. Even using the clean achievements of Indian athletes at the Tokyo Olympics to try and bury the rape and murder of a 9-year old girl in Delhi, Tavleen Singh. Because the Delhi Police is under the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Government of India, wikipedia. "In sum, privacy matters, but is just a tiny part of a massive problem of cybersecurity," wrote Aiyar. No, it absolutely is not. Spying on other governments is a kind of low grade warfare. Is the government waging a war on its own citizens? Is Aiyar defending fascism?
