A Reason to Not "Think at Home"
HAL - 02.01.2009 04:02

A European project has been infiltrated by an American company with a history of spying for the U.S. Government. This project hopes to be installed on your personal computer.

CycEurope -

Why you should be concerned about assisting the LarKC (The Large Knowledge Collider, a gimmicky name invented to give the false impression of scientific veracity)...

 http://www.larkc.eu/

There is a project underfoot in Europe under the auspices of the "Seventh Framework Programme". Whilst the project promises to bring nebulous benign technological benefits to Europe and the world, there is something about it you should know: something deeply disturbing. Before we get to this dark secret, let us begin the project's self description:

"The aim of the UE FP7 Large-Scale Integration Project LarKC is to go beyond the limited storage, querying and inference technology currently available for semantic computing. The fundamental assumption is that such an infrastructure must go beyond the current paradigms which are strictly based on logic. By fusing reasoning with search and taking seriously the notion of limited rationality we aim for the paradigm shift that is required for reasoning at Web scale."

 http://www.larkc.eu/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/larkc_leaflet_may08.pdf

The description is intentionally vague and unnecessarily complex. The hope of the authors is that your mental processing tools will be overwhelmed by the long string of artificial intelligence buzzwords and that, upon being overwhelmed, you'll either stop reading and go away (the intelligent response) or that you will support the forking over of more than € 10 million in funds for a project of absolutely no worth.

Let me translate the hyperbole for you: "The aim of the UE FP7 Large-Scale Integration Project, aside from obtaining funding to remain employed, is to develop a means and method of combining reasoning algorithms with search algorithms so that government agencies can improve their ability to spy on citizens."

"Wait," you protest, "that is unfair. Nothing about spying was mentioned."

Correct, it was an instance of "lying by omission."

"What did they omit?" you wonder.

They omitted to tell you that one of the partners within the project is a new European branch of an American company involved in using similar technology to spy on behalf of George Bush's war on terror. This company, referred to in the literature as CycEurope, is known in the States as CyCorp. According to the UK's ZDNet, CyCorp played a key role in a project by the U.S. Defence Department to spy on Americans. This project, known as the Total Information Awareness (TIA) programme, was shut down when the American Congress got work of what the U.S. Defence Department was up to. According to the article: "The documents show that funds for TIA and two related information-analysing projects, Genisys and Genoa II, have been awarded to companies including CyCorp of Austin, Texas, for a "Terrorism knowledge base"...

(for the above, I refer you to  http://news.zdnet.co.uk/itmanagement/0,1000000308,2131231,00.htm)

It would appear that CyCorp, no longer able to get funding from the U.S. Congress to spy on Americans, has come to Europe to spy on us, and the EU plans on having you pay for it.

In an even more cynical twist, CyCorp (ahem... CycEurope), wants to get into your personal computer by convincing you that letting them in is an act of charity for a good cause. CycEurope and the LarKC want you to donate your unused computing cycles to their cause. Under the Trojan guise of a screen saver in the spirit of SETI at Home, this tainted project is planning on pushing you into installing their program on your machine. The name for this Trojan gift is "Thinking at Home."

Before you install "Thinking at Home" on your machine, consider this: CyCorp (aka CycEurope) is intimately connected to the U.S. Defence Department, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency. I ask you, why do they not disclose these facts? CyCorp is not a mere partner in this programme, CyCorp is the host of their meeting this January (12 – 14) in Bled, Slovenia:

 http://www.hotel-park-bled.com/index.html

Send an email to the government of Slovenia and ask them why they are allowing an American spy front to operate out of their country:  vwa@gov.si

For additional information on CyCorp, type "CyCorp" into your search engine and follow the links.
