To be precise, Snowden and Silva are both chess pieces controlled by Wei Dongsheng.

This kind of remote control is not a common remote control.

Snowden and Silva didn't realize that they were being remotely controlled by Wei Dongsheng, and they didn't even realize Wei Dongsheng's existence.

Similar to the Prism program led by the US National Security Agency, Wei Dongsheng also used computer intelligence life hack technology to establish a set of covert surveillance programs. From 2007 to 2010, Mr. Wei monitored Mr. Snowden for about three years. Snowden's first-level contact (1st_degree_contacts), second-level contact (2nd_degree_contacts), and third-level contact (3rd_degree_contacts), and the real-time information of 370,000 people centered on Snowden are all registered in the case to form a large database.

Wei Dongsheng never communicated with Snowden in person, and he didn't bother to persuade him to reveal the secret in advance.

Wei Dongsheng's strategy is to hide in the shadows, hijacking 370,000 people's mobile phones, computers and other network equipment, so that they can see the documents and materials that Wei Dongsheng wants them to see. 370,000 people are all chess pieces controlled by Wei Dongsheng. Their eyes saw what Wei Dongsheng wanted them to see; Their ears heard what Wei Dongsheng wanted them to hear. In this way, bit by bit, persistently influenced for several years, Snowden, Silva and others quietly became Wei Dongsheng's puppets and began to do what Wei Dongsheng wanted them to do.

For example, the Prism Gate incident was detonated in advance, and Wei Dongsheng operated it like this.

At the breakthrough, Wei Dongsheng first selected Andrew Silva.

Silva's personality lacks the courage to resist, and when confronted with unfair difficulties, the first choice is often to escape. Flee to the ideal kingdom without filth, and it seems that there is no trouble. People who are unwilling to bear injustice and lack the courage to resist are actually difficult to take responsibility for when they lack tenacity. However, the NSA and the Oahu Cryptography Center in Hawaii do not require Silva to take responsibility, and as a technical worker, Silva's personality is easy to control. Therefore, after the FBI arrested Silva and collected evidence, Silva's boss and colleagues were dumbfounded, unable to believe that Silva, who had a passive and evasive personality, was actually an accomplice to the whistleblower Snowden.

Actually, such a result is not surprising.

Just like an introverted and honest person, negative emotions accumulate to a certain extent, and they often choose to kill impulsively. Silva's negativity, Silva's evasion, Silva's lack of courage to resist is because those things have not trampled on his bottom line.

Wei Dongsheng chose Silva as the breakthrough point, first inducing Silva to resume contact with Snowden, and the idea of going to Japan to work was aroused.

During Silva's application for transfer to Japan, Wei Dongsheng controlled the NSA to create a "mistake", causing a certain department to suddenly discover clues involving Silva when investigating something, resulting in Silva, his family and friends all becoming specific targets of the NSA's overall surveillance.

In the second step, Wei Dongsheng continued to control the NSA to create "mistakes" and assigned some of the tasks of monitoring Silva, his family and friends to Silva. In other words, Wei Dongsheng hijacked the NSA's network system to tamper with task assignment information and create a funny joke, causing Silva to be unexpectedly tasked with monitoring himself.

Monitor yourself!

It's a big joke.

However, Silva soon stopped laughing.

Because surveillance is surveillance, there is no emotion at all, and other employees of other NSA departments will not tolerate Silva just because he is a special employee of the NSA. On the contrary, because Silva is an insider in the knowing, the NSA has a higher level of surveillance and more unscrupulous methods of surveillance.

Silva was horrified to find that his previous methods against suspected Pakistani spies and suspected Chinese spies had been used on him, and his exchanges with friends, his exchanges with his wife and daughter, were all punctually collected as raw materials for big data analysis.

Some of these surveillances are tolerable, some are unbearable.

For example, screen surveillance.

A surveillance program commonly used by the NSA includes a camera and microphone activation program. In the case of laptops, for example, if the laptop is idle or turned off without power, this activator can start quietly bypassing the camera configuration. In other words, if a user sits in front of a laptop screen and feels that the camera is not lit or has no other features in use, they may subconsciously feel that it is turned off and that it is safe. In reality, however, this is not the case, as many hacking tools can bypass the camera configuration and quietly activate the camera and microphone programs without alerting the user, making laptop cameras a powerful tool for monitoring the average Internet user.

Silva was wary of this, and was used to tapering his laptop camera.

However, Silva's wife and Silva's daughter did not have such good habits.

As a result, there are a lot of embarrassing images of Silva's surveillance data.

Silva's wife's intimate activities at home, changing sanitary napkins, changing underwear, and not wearing clothes when taking a bath, etc., are all recorded. Even, Silva also saw some secrets that he didn't know, it turned out that when he was not at home or came home late from overtime, Silva's wife often masturbated once in high spirits before falling asleep with satisfaction; It turned out that Silva's wife had already cheated on her and was messing around with her boss at home from time to time.

Silva was not angry at his wife's betrayal.

Silva has also been aware of marital problems over the years, and even subconsciously has been mentally prepared to wear a green hat on his head.

The images were embarrassing, but Silva grudgingly accepted them.

Silva's inverse scales are his daughters.

Silva never imagined that his daughter would also become the target of the NSA's surveillance.
