NSA is CRAZY

• How the NSA and GCHQ Spied on OPEC – SPIEGEL ONLINE

In January 2008, the NSA department in charge of energy issues reported it had accomplished its mission. Intelligence information about individual petroleum-exporting countries had existed before then, but now the NSA had managed, for the first time, to infiltrate OPEC in its entirety.

A secret GCHQ document dating from 2010 states that the agency had traditionally had “poor access” to OPEC. But that year, after a long period of meticulous work, it had managed to infiltrate the computers of nine OPEC employees by using the “Quantum Insert” method, which then creates a gateway to gain access into OPEC’s computer system. GCHQ analysts were even able to acquire administrator privileges for the OPEC network and gain access to two secret servers containing “many documents of interest.”

• C.I.A. Is Said to Pay AT&T for Call Data – NYTimes.com

The cooperation is conducted under a voluntary contract, not under subpoenas or court orders compelling the company to participate, according to the officials. The C.I.A. supplies phone numbers of overseas terrorism suspects, and AT&T searches its database and provides records of calls that may help identify foreign associates, the officials said.

TPP Property Rights Chapter Leaked

• Secret Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP)

Today, 13 November 2013, WikiLeaks released the secret negotiated draft text for the entire TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) Intellectual Property Rights Chapter. The TPP is the largest-ever economic treaty, encompassing nations representing more than 40 per cent of the world’s GDP. The WikiLeaks release of the text comes ahead of the decisive TPP Chief Negotiators summit in Salt Lake City, Utah, on 19–24 November 2013.

• Concerned Citizens Want Congress to Flush the TPP | Kyle McCarthy

The TPP is being referred to as “NAFTA on steroids,” and concerned citizens all over the nation are organizing to stop this from being fast-tracked. Organizations such as Backbone Campaign, Public Citizen’s Global Trade Watch, Fair Trade Coalition in Oregon and Washington, Popular Resistance and many others have joined together to form FlushTheTPP.org, an action campaign aimed at stopping the Trans-Pacific Partnership. These organizations are also launching a coordinated day of action Tuesday, November 12 with light projections planned in Dallas, Spokane, Detroit, Olympia, Baltimore, DC, Seattle and other cities.

• The draft contains US and Japanese proposals designed to enhance the ability of pharmaceutical manufacturers to extend and widen their patents on drugs and medicines.

• US and AU seek to criminalise modifications of technology devices to circumvent region restrictions.

• US and Australia oppose a clause stating that ISPs “cannot be held legally responsible for copyright infringement on their networks”

• US pushes a clause to patent surgical methods.

Public Citizen has some analysis here on the chapter, noting lengthening and extension of copyright and access to medicine.

• Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement | Electronic Frontier Foundation

In the US, this is likely to further entrench controversial aspects of US copyright law (such as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act [DMCA]) and restrict the ability of Congress to engage in domestic law reform to meet the evolving IP needs of American citizens and the innovative technology sector. The recently leaked US-proposed IP chapter also includes provisions that appear to go beyond current US law.

The TPP would force the adoption of the US DMCA Internet intermediaries copyright safe harbor regime in its entirety. For example, this would require Chile to rewrite its forward-looking 2010 copyright law that currently establishes a judicial notice-and-takedown regime, which provides greater protection to Internet users’ expression and privacy than the DMCA.

MexiCoke Watch 2013!

• The Mexican Coca-Cola Myth: It’s Almost American

America’s small but vocal Cult of Mexicoke freaked out. It was enough to prompt a reversal of sorts from Arca, which subsequently vowed to continue using only cane sugar in the Coke it exports to the U.S. Call it a New Coke moment in reverse for the maker of Mexican Coke. The uproar also revealed that much of the Coke sold south of the border already contains high-fructose corn syrup. Arca’s corn-to-sugar mix for the soda it sells at home is around 50/50.
