I have told six former CIA/NSA directors what I am up to. None has told me
to stop.

The people from the Cabinet Office (GCHQ) are unhappy with my plans but
they haven't tried to tell me to stop either.


The lack of email security is ultimately the reason Putin was able to
install his kompromized rapist in the WhiteHouse for four years. The lack
of email security has directly led to 500,000 more Americans dying in the
pandemic.

There are powerful forces making end-to-end hard but the intel agencies are
not a factor.
