What everyone should do, of course, is in every communication in every medium, ever, slip in little keywords like “revolution” or “Semtex” or “detonators” or “jihad”. In every email, every text, every web search. If everyone does this religiously, the NetNSAzis will be so busy chasing phantoms that the whole surveillance architecture will collapse.
I find it pretty sick and ironic that while we try to portray Russia and China as the bad guys; its pretty evident that the NSA and our own government does more spying on us than the Soviets ever did.

That would be a wonderful way to troll the government… Now, what crazy guy wants to do this nonsense?

I used to do this with some friends. Nothing ever came of it, but we were all pretty sure someone was listening and thinking “I’m really having to spy on these idiots”

I find it pretty sick that we allowed that Privacy Act in the first place when none of those same people who thought it was ok would have allowed it with our current president.

It’s really not OK whoever the pres. is. It’s just part of life now as technology becomes more and more ingrained in our lives.
Even though searching it is not a crime under the NDAA you can still be taken away tortured killed anything really and not have a single right to anything.

That’s my point…it was NEVER ok…but since some people licked Bush’s underwear, we got it instated and lost our rights.

and a lot of those same people voted to continue it under Obama. The House of Reps, widely perceived to be anti-anything Obama does, recently defeated a measure to limit the NSA’s surveillance capability.

Just a note…your phones can be hacked and listened to, your cameras can be turned on and your mics turned on without your knowledge. What the public is aware of is always about five to ten years behind reality. Any time you use a gps search you can be tracked easily.
You are photographed 15 or more times a day in one way or the other…maybe more if you use an ATM machine ever, drive a car, pass through a Toll way, try to find directions, or breath.[/quote]
You are COMPLETELY missing the point.
If I go for a walk, a thousand people might take a look.
In fact, a fat security guy, munching doughnuts and masturbating to twenty camera live-feeds might be less intrusive to your privacy then a stroll in ancient Rome.
But cameras, snitches or curious neighbours are nothing compared to your President’s new all seeing eye.
All you actions and technical interactions will fuse into one neat file:
How did your mom call you last saturday when you two skyped? Cute!
How long do you commute each day?
What dirty secrets did you exchange in that e-mail to your fuckbuddy? Nasty!
So you’ve bought a pet? His fodder is right in your amazon shopping history.
You’ve quite a number of posts on T-Nation, interesting.
And your XboxOne camera feed says 60 hours on GTA6!
Nice TSA scans, do you still bulk, Mr. “X”?
- everything will be combined and woven together to create a narrative on a push of a button.
Words fail us: searching for dirty laundry, e-sniffing, house search etc.
Gum-shoe league ridiculousness.
Meanwhile they watch your dirty home videos and read your intimate thoughts in real-time.
Virtual reality laughs at Sherlock Holmes.
I hate the idea I’m being watched and all my Internet usage is being recorded but I feel like the government could at least do a better job of it. In the past 10 years alone the government as abducted and tortured 2 Canadian citizens that were found completely innocent. You would think one of the most powerful governments in the world could correctly identify terrorists.

Thats not how it works.
The more power a government has, they less politicians are inclined to think.
They have a hammer and the world is full of nails.

And they completely missed the Tsarnev brothers, despite being warned by the Russians about the older brother.
I guess those two didn’t use Verizon…
NSA and the other criminals should put their tech to good use and scan for overweight citizens trying to switch a light bulb or children playing with fire.
They could literally save a thousand times more lives than with this terror farce.

Perhaps all of T-Nation should do it. Of course if something goes bad “we can always blame the ‘insert minority’ guy”.

It got instated because 9/11…
pretty sure this thread is being watched as well, and i just need to say how much i love our government. They are certianly not scum of the earth, and in no way would i purge almost everyone out Stalin style if i had the chance, no way.
If you don’t like the stuff your government does, why don’t you just pack up and move to another country? Since this is about the US, I’ll say that In every country I have been to, I have always met at least one American ex-pat.

People outside of the US don’t like it either including Russia (already pissed about the bees).

If I could find a job outside of the US that would hire me 100% then sure. If I knew spanish, I’d get the fuck out of dodge and go to Bolivia or Paraguay. Atleast I wouldnt have to pay back my student loans either.
