"Blessed Stories" and "Begasos Project": Hello, is this King Mohammed VI?
The "Begasos Project", led by the Union of "Forbidden Stories", claims that it discovered the King Mohammed VI phone number in the list of Moroccan numbers targeted within the spyware of the Israeli company NSO.The same project also talks that many numbers of members of the Moroccan royal family and collaborators close to the king's vicinity have been targeted;Among them is the director of the General Directorate for National Dirt Control, according to investigations by 17 media outlets related to the project.
So, imagine the next phone conversation moment:
Forbidden stories: “Hello, are you King of Morocco?”
King Mohammed VI: “Yes, it is me.”
Forbidden stories: “We want to check that this is your number;Because we believe that it was hacked by Morocco?
King Mohammed VI: “I mean, I penetrated my own phone?”
Forbidden stories: “No, we mean your security apparatus.”
King Mohammed VI: “Oh, really?Which of my devices? ”
Forbidden stories: “Well, in fact, we do not really know;Because the phone number of Abdel Latif Hamoushi, General Manager for National Dirt Control DGST and General Director of National Security DGSN is also on the target list.
It could have been a true journalist for “forbidden stories” if they had had a hadith with the King of Morocco, and this is not clear that this is not the case.However, if we want to believe that the information that was published in recent days in 17 media outlets linked to the "Begasos Project", this requires a verification of such a verification in order to put names in front of 50 thousand phone numbers that the Journalists Union claims to have been spying, includingIn that, 10 thousand numbers are attributed to Morocco.
On the other hand, the penetration can only be "confirmed" if the owner of the phone submits his device to the technical expertise of the Amnesty International Security Laboratory, and confirmed by "Citizen Lab", a research center at the Canadian University of Toronto.
Here again, we find it difficult to imagine that King Muhammad VI gives his mobile phone to such a process.Moreover, we cannot wait for French President Emmanuel Macron, who was also targeted according to the stories banned by the Begasos program, to give way to this process.
It is clear that this "Pegasos Project" raises many questions, and everyone has been analyzing it for many days.The more we advance in time, the more we read and listen to the narratives of the facts, reactions and comments, the greedy nature of this issue that resembles a lighter in the middle of the face ... a huge growth, and a real tumor that cannot be treated;Because it grows very quickly over hours.
Some journalists were angry at the daily "Le Monde"
Inside the editor -in -chief of the French newspaper "Le Monde", where several "secret" meetings were organized on the Begasos file, it is not possible to hide the anger of some of the editorial staff."I work here for 19 years, I have never seen such amateurs.Everything is superficial. ”
“There are flagrant contradictions from one media to another, see what the Washington Post writes, for example,” continues our source, which concludes that it is not provided any evidence at all. ”On the other hand, we find himself targeting Israeli software.We are facing a real farce. ”
The director of "banned stories" goes to Berlin to search for the lists
In recent months, the number of dissidents has doubled by the banned stories team, including the journalist Cecil Shelis Gallgo, who specialized in files related to Morocco."Money is missing", one of the members of the union tells us on his way to departure .. It is preferable to leave the organization of "forbidden stories" saying: "Because Laurent's arrogance loses our credibility, and will lead to our loss.I don't want to be there to see him. ”Laurent Richard hopes that the Pegasus Project will be able to obtain great funding, especially from the organizations and institutions that Morocco draws attention.
In response to a question about how the Journalists Union reached the list of 50 thousand phone numbers, which is alleged to be targeted by the Israeli spy program, our interlocutor was frequent in the answer before telling us that Laurent Richard, director of prohibited stories, and Sandrin Reagoud, the editor -in -chief of the authority, accompanied by a member of the organization Amnesty International, they went to Berlin to meet their source .. “I think it was Israeli; But we cannot know more than that, it was a forbidden topic (Tabu) that no one can discuss publicly, ”the journalist who will hurry to end the call when we asked him why Morocco took a lot of media space in the editorial treatment of the forbidden stories team.
Targeting Abdul Latif Hamoushi "Ame"
In order to understand that Abdul Latif Hamoushi, Director General of National Dirt Monitoring and the General Directorate of National Security, is the man who must fall, there is no need to ask the question, especially since the challenges go beyond the forbidden stories.
The Pegasus project, with all aspects of the shortcomings, has at least a confirmed advantage that directing a media weapon towards the head of the Moroccan Internal Security Director is one of the goals, so that we do not say "priority" among the forbidden stories.
All the elements that were extracted in this file, which was mainly addressed by the French media, inevitably brings us back to the strong Moroccan security man, and this is clear that this is not the first time.We rarely saw such an attack in the French press with this ferocity against the same person.
In fact, it is a systematic and fierce campaign that continued from the crisis that led to the deterioration of relations between Paris and Rabat in 2014. So is the deep reform made by Abdul Latif Hamoushi, on orders from King Mohammed VI, disturb the extent of imagining "specially prepared files on demand" like filesPegasus?
However, the man does not seem to behave secretly Ji Edgar Hoover, the first head of the US Federal Investigation Office.If there is one common thing, it will only be the desire to protect a country and its institutions.
Let us say this once and forever, and in the right language: it is a matter related to weakening this Arab and Islamic state, this ancient colony that still clings to its royal system, and contradicts us publicly, and began to take its share from the African market, and give us lessons in combating terrorism.
The head of the Moroccan internal security targeted by Pegasos?
The most extravagant in revealing the Pegasus project is that Abdel -Latif Hamoushi himself was targeted by Israeli espionage, according to the Iberian newspaper El Espagnol .. She says in an article published by journalist Sonia Moreno on July 20, that the Director General of DGST and DGSN are also listed in the spy list.In an attempt to clarify this, the journalist, without any condemnation, referred to the General Directorate of Studies and Documents headed by Yassin Al -Mansouri.
Nothing, not the slightest document presented, nor the simplest hint.Nothing .. contradictions, comic assumptions and horrific ignorance of the world of espionage.PEGASUS project, this really wonderful creature created by mythology scientists in the Federation of Journalists, was enough to bring lightning and thunder in the sky of Morocco.
Today, the wings of those responsible for "prohibited stories" may be cut off forever, with a little interest in the interests that their source defends in Berlin.Was the union manipulated by the security service?Everything will believe it.However, this does not in any way explain the conflict of the investigation that was delivered and the misleading information that its authors intentionally planted.
Amnesty International has distanced itself from the case, Jean Castles, the French Prime Minister, states that he is "irresponsible" to comment on what the press revealed at this stage, and that Morocco will not surrender before the court at the international level, knowing that he denied that he had done so, and confirmed that it isHe does not have this Israeli technology.
"Ghafam" .. strong as spyware
There is also something that makes us all drowning in a horrific irony in a case that was presented as the scandal of the contract: nothing varies even a little between the Israeli spy program and Pigasos and what "Gavam" is doing: Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft, the American giants who control the InternetThey have the ability to spy on us and get the same information exactly like Pegasos without users being aware of it.Finally, imagine that perhaps there was the following contact:
Forbidden stories: “Hello, are you Abdul Latif Hamoushi, Director General of the General Directorate of National Dirt Monitoring?”
Hammashi: "Yes, yes, this is me."
Forbidden stories: “I call you because the Israeli Pegasus technology has spied on you on your smartphone.Yes, I know that we had a campaign against you to say that you were behind spying on journalists and human rights activists in Morocco, but in reality, it may have been mixed with us. ”
Hammashi: "One thing is certain, it is still mixed with you, the world knows that the security personnel in the world do not use the smartphone."
One hundred journalists, 17 media outlets and Amnesty International to reach this result.Shame on the press.
