@NYPirateParty: Surprise! NSA data will soon routinely be used for domestic policing that has nothing to do with terrorism via TweetCaster Posts tagged government Plane-mounted “dirtboxes” that can slurp thousands of cellular phone ID’s from the air – was originally developed by the CIA to hunt terrorists in the Middle East, The Wall Street Journal reports. Now however, it’s being used domestically to track American citizens… They are electronic sniffers that mimic cellular tower signals to incite any cellular telephone within range to broadcast its identifying registration information. It’s essentially an aerial man-in-the-middle attack and one that has cost US taxpayers more than $100 million to create. With this information, US Marshals can effectively locate, identify, and lock on to specific cell phones – out of a sample population of thousands or even tens of thousands of devices – to within an accuracy of just three yards. What’s more, once the suspect phone is found, Marshals can then listen in on any calls originating from it. According to the WSJ, these devices have been in operation since 2007, mounted on Cessna aircraft flying out of five metropolitan airfields throughout the US and can access a majority of the US population. -In case you’re wondering who the government really fears….it’s you and me. This past Sunday evening former NSA contractor Edward Snowden sat down for an interview with German television network ARD. The interview has been intentionally blocked from the US public, with virtually no major broadcast news outlets covering this story. In addition, the video has been taken down almost immediately every time it’s posted on YouTube. In contrast, this was treated as a major political event in both print and broadcast media, in Germany, and across much of the world. In the interview, Mr. Snowden lays out a succinct case as to how these domestic surveillance programs undermine and erode human rights and democratic freedom. The absurdity runs deep: America is using American military equipment to bomb other pieces of American military equipment halfway around the world. The reason the American military equipment got there in the first place was because, in 2003, the US had to use its military to rebuild the Iraqi army, which it just finished destroying with the American military. The American weapons the US gave the Iraqi army totally failed at making Iraq secure and have become tools of terror used by an offshoot of al-Qaeda to terrorize the Iraqis that the US supposedly liberated a decade ago. And so now the US has to use American weaponry to destroy the American weaponry it gave Iraqis to make Iraqis safer, in order to make Iraqis safer. It’s not just ironic; it’s a symbol of how disastrous the last 15 years of US Iraq policy have been, how circuitous and self-perpetuating the violence, that we are now bombing our own guns. Welcome to American grand strategy in the Middle East. Not of the people, not for the people.

The right to data privacy, he suggests, is not a partisan issue, but requires a fundamental rethink of the role of the internet in our lives — and the laws that protect it. “Your rights matter,” he says, "because you never know when you’re going to need them.” Chris Anderson interviews, with special guest Tim Berners-Lee. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters Thursday that the Obama administration will not be releasing any more information about the controversial use of drones to kill American citizens.

The government is emotionally committed to the war. It is emotionally hostile to the needs of the poor. (Source: azspot)

Edward Snowden: Ovako ćemo vratiti Internet Pojavivši se teleprisutnošću pomoću robota, Edward Snowden govori na TED2014 o nadziranju i slobodi Interneta. Pravo na privatnost podataka, tvrdi on, nije pitanje pristranosti, već zahtijeva duboko promišljanje o ulozi Interneta u našim životima - i zakonima koji to štite. "Vaša prava su bitna", smatra on, "jer nikada ne znate kada ćete ih trebati." Chris Anderson intervjuira, a poseban gost je Tim Berners-Lee.
