Ahhh ... the good ol' days!


"During the civil war General Francisco Franco invited the Berlin
Police Chief, Count Wolf von Helldorf, to help his new totalitarian
government organize the Falangist police. SS Fuhrer Heinrich Himmler was
given a medal by the victorious Franco in 1939 when the civil war was
over. After the fall of France in 1940, the unforgiving Franco was
perfectly willing to get rid of the 150,000 "red" Spanish refugees
still in southern France. The alternative punishment for the Spanish
exiles, now stateless in Madrid's eyes, was death immediately upon
return home to face Spanish Army execution or slave work. Prisoners
would build the Valle de los Caidos, "The valley of the fallen,"
which would become Franco's own Egyptian style tomb. If the Spanish
leftists remained in France, the preferred option, up to July 1940, they
faced a slow death at some unknown date at the hands of the SS in
Austria. Like the Jews of Poland, the Spaniards did not know what faced
them in Mauthausen until after they got inside the gate."

Robert Whealey, author of Hitler and Spain: The Nazi Role in the Spanish
Civil War 1936-1939 (Lexington, Kentucky: University Press of Kentucky,
1989).

Maybe because Grayson's meeting was just another 
phony scandal. 

You sound paranoid. Why would you want to protect 
your meta data from your own government? Go figure.

Maybe you should consider just disappearing without 
a trace. If that's what you want to do you need to 
consider two things:

1. What does the federal government have on you?
2. What information have you left on the internet?

You probably imagine disappearing like being on a 
deserted beach with endless beers to drink. LoL!

You'd first need to change your name and don a 
disguise (in your case, this may be the biggest 
obstacle).

May I suggest moving to New Zealand  - one of the 
best places to disappear, as it's a long way off 
and has great beaches, is an English-speaking country 
and it's easy to acclimate to life over there. 

What you'd need to do is lay low and avoid Google 
Street View. Even if you move far away, stop using 
Yahoo!, Google, and Facebook.

You're a liar, Willy.  Even worse yet you believe your own lies. I 
mentioned the other day that Representative Alan Grayson was to hold a 
hearing in the house on the NSA spying.  Glenn Greenwald even flew in to 
testify.  And what happened?  Obama, who has rarely ever visited the 
House decides he's going to meet with the House thus scuttling Grayson's 
hearing.  A coincidence?  I doubt it.

Also the amendment to cut NSA funding for unauthorized spying was 
sponsored by Rep. Justin Amash and Rep. John Conyers was barely defeated 
in the house with the majority of Republicans voting against it.

Please pay attention.

You can't figure.  Suicide is now the number one cause of death in the 
US.  Many of those suicides are from people depressed over losing their 
homes and their jobs due to the banks.  In fact probably far more than 
any "Islamic" terrorist attack on US soil including the "supposed"

would be the reason too (banks buy a lot of advertising on the MSM).

So, the terrorists have killed thousands of people world 
wide, raped and murdered hundreds of people in Oakland 
this year, but your enemy is the Bank of America.

So, we should not be gathering any evidence about the 
crooks and terrorists or the murderers because that 
would be wrong because they are broke and out of a job.

A quote from Mike Rivero of WRH about NSA spying and the new terror threat;
"So the official story is that the US Government, now blessed with a massive 
global spy network that watches everyone, claims to have the "most specific and 
credible" terror threat ever.

So why don't they arrest the terrorists?

Because of the terror attacks happens, it means one of two things.

1. This new "terror" attack is a false-flag operation; a faked event by a US 
Government desperate to distract the American people from the unconstitutional 
existence of that massive spy network, to distract the American people from the 
IRS targeting of the President's political enemies (an impeachable crime), to 
distract the American people from the exploding scandal surrounding Benghazi, 
which appears to have been yet another false-flag stunt to bolster Obama's 
re-election chances and re-ignite Americans' flagging war fever.

2. None of the massive and costly security imposed by the United States 
government on the American people and the rest of the world actually works. If 
there is another terror attack it means that the grabbing of our crotches (and

Well, I figure nobody here wants their real name 
associated with backpacks and pressure cookers like 
some newbie did with you, but you don't have a real 
name, just a handle.

So, I'm not convinced that our job on FFL is to fink 
on respondents that do Google searches. What is it 
with all the finks on FFL?

Maybe we need the NSA to collect data on terrorists 
that might want to harm us, whether they are in this 
country or anywhere else. Apparently our ally countries 
can't seem to get the job done - there's probably a 
terrorist hiding under your bed, or several hanging 
out in downtown Oakland. 

A major attack by al Qaeda? I thought Obama said we 
hade won the war and they were dead; that we were 
bringing the troops home. Mission accomplished. 

Go figure.

Didn't Obama say he killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan 
and Andwar Al-Awlaki and his teenage son, Abdul, in 
Yemen with a drone strike. You're saying that after 
ten years we haven't won the war against the terrorists 
yet, but we don't need a U.S. spy agency?

I really don't think the "powers at be" like the Internet very much. Too 
easy for folks to expose their crimes. But the genie is out of the

Oakland's creepy new surveillance program


presstv.ir 

August 3, 2013

Earlier this week, the Oakland City Council voted to approve the second
phase of a $10.9 million surveillance center that would enable the City
to engage in widespread warrantless surveillance of Oakland residents
who have engaged in no wrongdoing whatsoever. This is a terrible blow to
privacy.

The so-called Domain Awareness Center (DAC) would consolidate a vast
network of surveillance data. The project was initially supposed to be
about port security.

But in a classic illustration of mission creep, the project as proposed
would have pulled in over 1,000 cameras and sensors pointed at Oakland
residents, including 700 cameras in Oakland schools.

While surveilling schoolchildren is not going to secure the Port of
Oakland, it would allow for the comprehensive tracking of innocent
Oakland residents.

The DAC would enable the city to track individuals when they visit the
abortion clinic, the Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, or the union hall, or
engage in other private activities.

Although proponents of the project claimed that it did nothing more than
consolidate existing surveillance systems, the mere combination of
surveillance data is extremely intrusive. A mosaic depicts far more
information than any individual tile.

Shockingly, the City Council was poised to approve the project even
though there was no privacy framework in place whatsoever.

Although the City's proposed contract with a vendor to build the DAC
took pains to prescribe in minute detail the precise manner in which,
for example, metal framing systems are to be installed (studs are to be
placed not more than 2 inches from abutting walls), there were no
privacy provisions addressing key issues such as data retention and
dissemination.

Disappointingly, and in the face of enormous opposition, the City
Council voted on Tuesday to approve the DAC.

The resolution it ultimately adopted requires the City Council to
approve privacy policies and specifies which surveillance systems can be
included in the DAC (the cameras in Oakland schools are no longer
included).

While the resolution contains a few nods to privacy, the City Council
still put the cart before the horse.

The City Council would never have approved a construction project, only
to say that they'd review financial costs after the project is
built. But it did just that with privacy costs.

You two sound really paranoid - if you've done nothing 
wrong what are you worried about? Go figure.

The main business of the internet model is founded on
mass surveillance, like Google, Yahoo!, and MyFace.

This sounds like another 'phony' scandal. So, yes,
you're probably as smart as an 8th Grader. LoL!

Besides, President Obama and James Clapper both said 
that the NSA wasn't listening in on your phone calls. 

Are you saying that they lied to us? Go figure.

Bhairitu,

Okay, tell us:  if you had Snowden's access and his computer-savvy, could you 
write a script in about 15 minutes that would:

1.  Find the rich people.
2.  Eavesdrop on them with software to filter out those who are investing 
regularly in the markets.
3.  See real-time trends before the buys-and-sells are posted.
4.  Make vast profits exploiting the markets with the Ultimate Bucket Shop Tool.

I think your answer will be yes (with maybe a few quibbles.)

If so, given that they say there are ONE MILLION "snowdens" with such powers, 
how could anyone reasonably expect that that many sysops are all certain to be 
sane, moral, and legal?  

Your answer:  maybe 98% -- right?

We're all being fucked by invisible dicks, right?
