I am forwarding you this email in the hope that it will be useful:
(They simply could not have known what reason I was installing mininet
for and that I would try to install it at all if they would not have
observed what I was doing even if they would have supposed that I wanna
continue on a̅tea. Besides this kind of live-blocking every step that
would be useful to achieve my goal is noteable on a computer that I
believed to be totally clean in the time before. That was how things
started to uncover.)

Dear Vince
I in deed mean that they have an internet connection channel for this
offline computer. The computer does not have Wifi nor a LAN cable. What
they were doing can not be explained by other means. I wonder how they
transfer the data between the internet and that computer that should be
separated physically from the internet. What I have observed can not be
explained by malware unleashed at the time I have last plugged an USB
stick.

Yes, I know the article and the long history building up that
capacity. You may recall I backed you up on the DANE support
discussion. What you are developing is a reliable secure software
system.
The problem of compromised hardware is a different problem. Intel
builds back door circuits for NSA into their chips So I don't think
you'll build a laptop from them that NSA can't compromise.
Unless you are engaging in international espionage or blowing the
whistle on them like Eric Snowden, I don't think they will compromise
their systems on low value targets. In that case, it doesn't make
much difference that they can get in, does it?
On the other hand, a working DANE system can be used to keep our
conversation between us against most others except NSA and that alone
is worth something. Isn't it? Debian Security list members can't do
must about compromised hardware except be aware of it....
