   I wouldnt be surprised if they had a backdoor into the Qualcomm chip that Apple decided to oddly still include in most of their US iPhones vs the international versions that come with their own internal modem

      I wouldn't be surprised if they had a backdoor into the Secure Enclave. Apple is definitely a part of the US' NOBUS scheming, whether or not cops get to use it.

         So the FBI publicly fueding with Apple over encryption is all just misdirection? I dunno about that

            More a matter of who has what when. The FBI is ass and anyone there I would have vouched for retired a bit before 2016.

            That aside, it doesn't change their extensive history of ensnaring and enabling mentally deficient young men to incriminate themselves.

            You could attempt to argue that anyone they can do that to is inherently a risk or threat because any other group could have done the same, but at the same time this approach broke containment and is being directed at a markedly more pale demographic, ie <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;The_Base_(neo-Nazi_group)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;The_Base_(neo-Nazi_group), with seemingly no counterplay
