In this episode Jamie meets up with John P. Carlin (https://www.mofo.com/people/john-carlin.html) , author of Dawn of the Code War (https://www.amazon.com/Dawn-Code-War-Americas-Against-ebook/dp/B079M8813N) and former Assistant Attorney General for the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Security Division to discuss the ongoing network war with China -- one that's about to ratchet up, as 5G connects billions of devices via a technology heavily dependent on China's Huawei. What does it mean to wage war in the era of distributed networks? How do networks change the very idea of 'Command and Control' towards leaderless, non-hierarchical memetic structures? We dig into crowdsourced terrorism' of Al Qaeda (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda) and look at some similarities with Anonymous and the QAnon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QAnon) phenomenon. Finally, we discuss the widespread idea that there's a kind of break with authority going on in the online era—what could be described as an 'epistemological crisis' created by our hyper-informational environment—one that's being exploited and amplified by various lords of chaos to create new and unpredictable political realities.
President Trump's heading to his New Jersey golf club for his annual August holiday. He's facing a number of crises....including the trade war with China, tensions with Iran and North Korea and pressure to act on guns following last weekend's mass shootings. New Zealand police say they've arrested two British men after finding a huge stash of meth in an apartment. Police say it would've been worth tens of millions of dollars if sold on the street. China's Huawei has unveiled its own operating system for smartphones that it says can replace Android if U.S. sanctions on the company cut off access to the Google system. Huawai says the first handset using the HarmonyOS system will be released Saturday. The British economy shrank in the second quarter for the first time since 2012. Official figures show Brexit uncertainties weighed on business investment...and firms reduced their stockpiling after Britain’s departure from the European Union was postponed.
US internet giant Google, whose Android mobile operating system powers most of the world's smartphones, said on Sunday it was beginning to cut ties with China's Huawei, which Washington considers a national security threat. In the midst of a trade war with Beijing, President Donald Trump has barred US companies from engaging in telecommunications trade with foreign companies said to threaten American national security. The measure targets Huawei, a Chinese telecoms giant in Washington's sights, that is listed by the Commerce Department among firms with which American companies can only engage in trade after obtaining the green light from the authorities. The ban includes technology sharing. Listen to this podcast for more.
