How To Keep The NSA At Bay: The Tricks From Privacy Experts

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The Daily Beast

Do government surveillance disclosures have you fearing Uncle Sam’s reach? Winston Ross looks at PGPs, secret phone apps, and burners like The Wire to cloak your digital trail.

It’s a fairly safe bet that most people are in one of four camps about all this National Security Agency-spying-on-Americans business: uninformed, apathetic, pissed off, or paranoid.

For the uninformed, it’s probably a good time to get up to speed. Before you know it, Barack Obama will personally be hiding in your closet.

For the apathetic, Dude, WAKE UP: You think because you live in the suburbs and you work at an insurance company that Big Brother will never come for you? What about that affair with your office secretary last year? What if her brother gets caught up in some kind of sting operation and they check his phone records and then her phone records and then police show up at your door asking why you called her 50 times last week, while your wife is sitting in the living room? What if they transpose a digit or two and mix you up with a suspected terrorist and break down your door in the middle of the night and shoot your dog? OK never mind, just flip back to The Bachelor.

For those of you either pissed off or paranoid, it’s time you understand that there are plenty of ways to cloak yourself from Uncle Sam, especially if they’re not already parked in a white van outside your apartment building (if that’s the case, say even the most clever privacy advocates, you’re probably fu****)

But wait, you hardly ever use the Internet? Your digital trail is pretty small? Skip on over to MyShadow if you believe that nonsense. There, you can find out exactly what kind of a shadow your computer and mobile-phone usage casts. It’s pretty scary and fascinating.

For those of you still understandably freaked out: If you just want to avoid getting caught up in the dragnet, having your phone/email/search history handed over by some spineless attorney at Verizon or Google or Facebook, there are ways to hide from Uncle Sam:

      Take a stand against the IRS in a big way and have fun with us… The Tea Party Patriots is hosting an “Audit the IRS Rally” Wednesday, June 19, 2013 from Noon to 2pm at the West Lawn of US Capitol.

      Re: IRS Scrutiny of Non-profits, Freedom of the Press, Benghazi, ObamaCare, etc., etc…

      Overall surveillance is unconstitutional. It’s a way to steal trade secrets, inventions, creative ideas, future information about mergers that are in private discussion, advance information on securities before press release, etc., etc.

      The “My Shadow” ‘site’ is totally bogus and more worthless than that. There’s not ONE SHRED of evidence as to any other WHO but yourself.

      POPPYCOCK!

      They pick and choose what and who they go after. The only way to be safe is not have an opinion!
      Look at what the military is allowed to do! Marines have facebook pages going after rape victims,mocking them. They threaten violence! All against the UCMJ and federal law!

      The trick would to be to open congressional hearings and to open all the NSA books to the oversight committee. To me any agency that hides behind “national security” and one that has no over sight actually is an enemy of the state. Why? Because with no over sight they will become power hungry and become a front for illegal operations world wide. They’re searching our emails because they want to know who knows what they are doing. It has 0 to do with anything else but to cover their tracks. I mean seriously how these agencies have keep in the dark for so long is the question. WHY? And who’s profiting? They took the towers down to cover their money trail of illegal drug dealing, laundering money and slavery. So to the NSA who’s reading this, you’re really not fooling anyone, best to turn off your computer, turn in your resignation and do the right thing and turn yourself in to the authorities.

      Reprint not my own,but very informative for those that are unaware who does what.

      ISRAEL is involved up to it’s eyeballs in the spying on all US Telecommunications/Internet – the Israelis THEMSELVES are admitting it – here’s how they do it:

      Israeli high-tech firms Verint and Narus have had connections with U.S. companies and Israeli intelligence in the past:

      According to Haaretz and referencing an article from technology magazine “Wired” from 2012, two Israeli companies with close connections to the Israeli security community Mossad – conduct bugging and wiretapping for the NSA.

      Verint, which took over its parent company Comverse Technology earlier this year, is responsible for tapping the communication lines of the American telephone giant Verizon, according to a past Verizon employee sited by James Bamford in Wired.

      Neither Verint nor Verizon commented on the matter.

      Natus, which was acquired in 2010 by the American company Boeing, supplied the software and hardware used at AT&T wiretapping rooms, according to whistleblower Mark Klein, who revealed the information in 2004. Klein, a past technician at AT&T who filed a suit against the company for spying on its customers, revealed a “secret room” in the company’s San Fransisco office, where the NSA collected data on American citizens’ telephone calls and Internet surfing.

      The Dept of Homeland Security – which has been chaired by rank Neocons every since it was created – is just one of the ways the Israelis/Neocons have completely penetrated the US. The ISRAELIS are reading EVERYTHING we have
