I think you missed the point here. There is a straight line narrative of (a) architectures of control and regulation; (b) informational asymmetry between the public and intelligence agencies ["Germans", "1973"]; (c) reflection on the possibilities afforded by software vs hardware cypher systems; (d) and a critique of the du jour insistence of the "experts" against rolling one's own cyphers.
help fix vague and contentious use of terminology such as “ideology” with more specific, domain motivated contents.
It makes zero difference what is the "ideology" of the said barons. The point is that the infrastructure of control is being placed and whatever that ideology is, it is not 'representative' of the rest of us who have no choice but to use those "artifacts".
