Morocco - The Authoritarian Self Extends Its Sensory Apparatus, Using Pegasus to Annihilate Privacy and Thought
Event Baseline: A former Moroccan intelligence operative reveals the state's widespread use of Pegasus spyware to target journalists, human rights defenders, and foreign politicians since 2017.
The state, an illusory self writ large, seeks security by eradicating the private mind. It mistakes total surveillance for safety. This is the mechanical application of thought: categorize, monitor, eliminate dissent. The belief that the state's identity can be secured by controlling all information is the root of the violence. This is not politics; it is a cognitive error.
