ah, never mind.

Is it possible that he's using the same techniques to communicate that the Terrorists have been using, which is why we didn't know jack about the Boston Bombing until they went boom?

Irony can be so ironic sometimes.

. . . and the reporter actually waited several months, because he is not tech savvy and decided what he was working on was more important at the time than a putative bombshell reveal from someone he'd never heard of.

Secure as Fort Knox, even from the NSA. The rest can be had off site to obscure routing and origin. Not perfect, but it's enough.

It is a slow FF browser.

...until after something happens.

But some of the bone heads don't completely understand or care about FACTS.

...and phone conversations stored for anyone with the access and desire to look at. I'm not. It's as repugnant to me now as it was when Bush** was doing it. It's an abuse on par with learning the USPS had been opening and making copies of every piece of of mail we send for years.

And don't bother with the "warrant" bullshit. There's no oversight and they have to self-report when they make a mistake and look at the wrong records; what in the world makes anyone think someone with intent would bother?

Finally, as you point out, it stops nothing. The Boston bombers and their family/friends were dumbfucks. Real terrorists aren't.

Inform yourself.

Were you around back in the day when we discussed "trigger words" here, and compiled lists of official ones to use on the phone and in emails to clog up their system? Why do you think we did that?

Have you read this?

And this kind of data-mining has been known about since Bush**.

Why DID you do that?

Do you honestly think a bunch of people on DU "clogged up the system" by using "official trigger words" compiled by a group of people on a message board?

Really?

were the only people who figured that out.

one has to use the thing - even when it should seem obvious.

There is no plausible suspicion of EVERYBODY. Handed down by a fucking secret court.

Similar enough to be no real improvement in substance. Though style points have gone up, way to show up with a piece of paper that says warrant on it as far as I'm concerned and if you don't like them apples then you can go straight to hell for all I care.

The efforts to destroy your own rights by willful distortion is pretty much insane.

How do you get from

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.


to everybody on Verizon and likely everybody on you name it? Hell, both seeking and worse granting a warrant is unconstitutional from jump. There is no probable cause by definition. I know folks on Verizon, what is your case on them?

Why the fuck is someone I donate my money to, voted for, volunteered for, and campaigned endlessly for asking for and carrying out such mockeries?
The little efforts you folks are swooning over seem pretty cynical and contemptuous to me and still miss the point.

no really,

When he communicated with snowden.

If you wanna be really cutting edge, try experimenting with sincerity and expressing your true thoughts.
