The vote is the latest setback for the NSA’s plan, which was pruned in September after ISO delegates expressed distrust and concerns that the U.S. agency could be promoting encryption technology it knew how to break, rather than the most secure.

"Well that's a massive fucking shock." --no one, ever.

The only time I get irritated about US alphabet agencies getting questioned is when people pretend the our foreign rivals and "allies" do not do the same thing. Don't trust any of them.

I would too, I've never seen anyone outright say anything that stupid though.

Maybe what they're getting at or trying to draw attention to is the disproportionate amount of influence the US/ZOG's have when establishing and corrupting standards, software, and hardware (in all stages). China is maybe the one exception but they are quarantined to some extent.
