All I am asking you to do is substantiate a claim that you made.
The best recent resource that does a deep dive into the US's hand in open source projects, is Yasha Levine - Surveillance Valley.
Its a longer history on how and why the US developed the internet - as a counter-revolutionary surveillance and information warfare tool to aid the empire, and also how it coopts youthful/enthusiastic tech movements to aid in that goal. The later chapters get into the current phase of this, using open source tools funded by the US national security state to fight its current enemies.

Does it answer the question I asked or is it tangential anti-Americanism?
I don't know what your question is specifically but you should never refuse to read things because it might be anti-US and you have a pro-US bias for some reason.
lol, okay buddy.
I didn't refuse to read anything and I defy you to find anything I wrote that is a "pro-US bias". I dare you.
Why did you even come to this thread if you're not going to read it and remain willfully ignorant of what was written? It's just weird behavior. It's also hilarious that you're preemptively chastising me for not reading when you have no clue what is in the thread you're posting in. Great stuff.
