It really is this transparent when we look back at it all.
A friend of mine was at a technical conference and a vendor's booth had a massive Israeli flag over it. That vendor? Using another company's software to install a root kit on your servers. So basically, you pay to give Mossad a back door to all your shit.
What was their rationale for doing that? Guessing "security"?
Yeah, security and management.
Imagine if a Chinese vendor had a giant Chinese flag at a conference in the US and was offering to root your shit from the other side of the planet to manage it for you. Bloomberg's staff would injure themselves trying to get to the keyboard first
You don't want to give Mossad direct access to your systems? How anti-Semitic!
