New Ferguson municipal judge hears first round of cases
ARTICLE
The Missouri Supreme Court appointed Judge Roy Richter to handle the caseload. A statement from the state chief justice’s office indicated Richter will bring a fresh, disinterested perspective to the courts’ practices and will be able and willing to implement needed reforms. The statement went on to indicate it’s not just Ferguson; it’s entirely possible statewide changes are needed to the judicial system.
And while others agreed Judge Richter seems fair, some felt a new judge cannot bring about necessary changes.
“Once the police cite me, it’s too late for a judge to make a difference,” he said Morris.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
Got a fine for "walking with attitude " ? He can't void it. He's gonna make you pay it anyways.
Hes going to enforce all those illegal and unconstitutional Municiple Laws.
The racist white regime of america keeps right on rolling along, robbing the black man every time he turns around.

My Email Friend
Artical = none , personal experience
I met a man once, well , I emailed him. For a time.
He had Aspergers Syndrome , or so he said, and I looked it up.
But the medical description was nothing like what I saw.
Asperger syndrome (AS), also known as Asperger's syndrome, Asperger disorder (AD) or simply Asperger's, is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical (peculiar or odd) use of language are frequently reported.[1][2] The diagnosis of Asperger's was eliminated in the 2013 fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and replaced by a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder on a severity scale.[3]
His messages had no context, he had to keep reminding you what he was talking about , resulting in several paragraphs of text where a simple sentence would suffice.
And he had no ... sense of humour ? No understanding of double meanings. If you told him the joke about a man with a duck walking into a bar and asking the bartender to put it on the ducks bill ... he will not realize that "the ducks bill" could refer to the ducks physical bill on the ducks face, or the bill (or tab) that the duck was running up by purchasing products. He'll see one or the other, he won't see both. Then he'll think you're crazy, and possibly dangerous. Why are you babbling nonsense ? Are you going to get violent next ? Are you insane in the literal clinical sense ? And it goes down hill from there.
He honestly believed he was the only sane person on the planet , and that everyone else was crazy. That the lunatics were running the insane asylem and there was nothing he could do about it.
The Royal Ottawa Hospital (the local mental institute) wasn't much help. As far as they were concerned, if they could get him to pretend to be sort of normal , long enough to hit the grocery store and come back, they didn't care how much he howled at the moon when he was home, or what craziness he engaged in. There's a shortage of beds in the mental institute, and this guy can at least care for himself and isn't a danger to the public, let him loose.
I spoke with him over many emails , he refused to meet in person , and I quickly figured out that would be a bad idea, and I got the distinct impression of the old Opera singers. The ones that could hit ridiculously high notes because they'd been castrated before puberty , and who never really complained about the inability to have sex, because they'd never had that ability in the first place. How can you miss something you've never had ?
There were pieces of his brain , empathy , and holistic thought (seeing the big picture) and understanding double meanings ... these were not functioning in him. And apparently , they'd never been functioning. He was vaguely aware of the words, probably others had informed him of this as well , but they meant nothing to him. How could he miss something he'd never had ? A blind man may hear of the wonders of sight , but if he's been blind from birth and never seen , he's just going to ignore you when you speak on that topic.
He doesn't like the modern definition of autism. He's able to quote it to me , but he doesn't believe in it. He speaks of a much older definition , apparently from the time of world war II. Hitler's people first diagnosed Asperger's syndrome , it seemed, and their definition was "every smart person on the planet". And they had plans to elminate all of the Asperger Sufferers. But the problem was, they needed smart people for science and engineering and winning the war ...
I mentioned the inability to see the larger picture ? He was never able to resolve that inherent conflict between "kill all the smart people" and "we need smart people to win the war" . He alternates between thinking about one , and thinking about the other. He doesn't even see they are opposites and you can only walk down one of those paths.
And he's got a touch of parania. He believes to this day there is a world wide conspiracy to kill the smart people. And he lacks the ability to notice he's 70 , and in good health , and receiving free health care in canada , despite the government already knowing his relatively high IQ . That's not the actions of some organization out to kill you. But he can't see that , and he hangs onto his belief that they're coming to get him. Some day. Don't bother joking about they'd better hurry or he'll die of old age first, he won't see the funny.
In fergusan Missouri a white cop shot a black man.
The initial forensic report showed it was a black hood who tried to get the cops gun , got a few bullets for his trouble , and eventually wound up dead by lead poisoning. Pow pow. Open and shut case end of story. Hey there was even a witness, a black guy , testifying to the whole thing.
Months later , it turns out the witness lied, and the cop had in fact shot the guy at point blank range while standing over him , and the bullets entered through the black mans skull and went down into his torso. Guy had been on his knee's and the cop executed him.
Relevance to my story ?
To this day , every white guy in america quotes the first , erronious forensic report as if it were gospel , and think you're crazy , or prejudiced , if you disagee with them. Every black guy quotes the second autopsy showing a very different version of events, one in which that unarmed black man was executed.
And both sides stick to their guns.
There was even a report from the Department of Justice showing wide spread corruption and persecution of the black man . One white man read just a piece of the report noted that even dogs were being blamed for being racists and dismissed the report . (Hint...the dogs bite who their police masters tell them to bite, they don't choose on their own...back to a human made decision !)
It's like everyone in the world has Aspergers. They believe what they like , and they ignore any evidence they don't like. And if you disagree with them, you're part of the racist movement twisting events all out of shape (which shape ? depends on which side you're talking to). And they honestly believe what they're saying. They're bullet proof. Firing facts at them doesn't work , they ignore those facts.
Sometimes I wonder if they have Aspergers, or if it's a "filter" problem. They live in a world where everyone lies to them and they filter it out, to the point where they're now filtering out the truth as well.
My friend in the email was born in the age of world war II. Hitler was in his youth. It was the first thing he learned as he grew up , I suppose it's natural for him to hang onto it all the days of his life. Perhaps he's not paranoid after all. Perhaps he simply learned his lessons very well as a boy , and it's way too late for this old dog to learn new tricks.
The disturbing thing is , American Newspapers are very quick to print blame articals when something happens , bold and on the first page, and when they find out the truth , it's months later and a little tiny article near the back page. Leaving a lot of Americans with false information. Information they will defend for the rest of their lives.
What good is a news service that openly lies to you ?
My friend in the email was my father. And he taught me one more lesson as well. When my mother decided to dump him and never speak to him again , she did me a real big favor. Guy is as fruity as a nut cake, and is likely due for another stay in the Royal Ottawa. His ability to pass for minimally sane is slipping.
I "lost" (read that erased) the email address and never speak to him again.
Lesson to everyone out there. When looking up your long lost Father or mother or brother or such ... leave an escape route. There may be very good reasons that he 's long lost.

Barbie and her NSA Adventure
Artical = http://www.ctvnews.ca/lifestyle/eavesdropping-new-barbie-has-parents-group-worried-1.2278311
Once a button on the doll is pressed, the Barbie will record a child's voice with its embedded microphone. That recording would then to be sent via Wi-Fi to Mattel’s technology partner, ToyTalk, which would process the audio with voice-recognition software and help the Barbie come up with a chatty response.
Ahem.
The doll is going to transmit everything it hears across the internet , and then a response will be transmitted back.
In this age where the NSA is working hard to destroy all encryption and lay everything open to be easily hacked , "We're fighting Terrorists darn it ! You're helping terrorists if you encrypt your stuff !" , you want to transmit everything said in the room across the internet.
Also ... the notion that you have to push a button for it to do this is nice, but LG / Samsung already did this with their "smart TV" that listens for voice commands, and offically can be turned off. The off switch turned out not to work.
So , Matel has joined the list of people trying to get a microphone into your living room (LG and Samsung with their TV's , Microsoft with it's Connect Controller , which is a camera not a microphone) and transmit EVERYTHING across the internet to a server for processing.
Can this NSA crap get any more depressing ? Your cell phones, your computers, your email , american routers , anything that transmits information across the internet (I'm looking at you , Internet of Things , and you're bizarre idea that I need a radio ID chip in my blue jeans to lead a full and productive life ...)
Sheesh.
There is one thing I would like to point out to this easily hacked toy that NSA will catagorically refuse to allow to have functioning encryption on.
"Lets go to the front door , Annie . My friend Ken is waiting there to give us cookies ! How about that ?" I'll let you figure out who's really waiting at the front door.

Comments from my reader
"Do stories on the West African Ebola outbreak, and the forces of ISIS operating in Iraq and Syria!"
- anonymous
Ok, someone is reading my blog , hurray ! I thought I was writing just to blow off steam.
Ebola Outbreak :
It's a disease. It's bad. I'm not a doctor what do I know about it ? Oopsie...
ISIS :
ISIS are bad people doing bad things. I completely disagree with their ethos , many muslims actually are declaring them infidels and non-islamic because they're breaking the shia (muslim holy law). And boko harum (more or less means they dislike western education) isn't much better.
Trouble is , there isn't much controversy here. Everyone , including their fellow Muslims (whom they are industriously hunting down and killing ) agree's they're bad people and someone should stop them. Not a lot to write about.
Charlie Hedbo
I don't think they should be insulting muslims by drawing a picture of Mohammed. But then again , I don't think they should get much more than a fine for that. Shooting them down with machine guns is outragous. We run our countries our ways (ie: each western country is beholden to it's own electorate) and people with guns from the other side of the world don't get a say in the matter.
Fergusan Missuri
I think they murdered that black guy. I think , (according to the coroner and autopsy) , he got down on his knees , and the cop stood over him at close range , and put two bullets in his skull. (The cops story is of course radically different than this) .
This cop , caught red handed, his story radically different than the coroner's evidence, was let off with no penalty at all. Literaly they slapped him on the back and said "good job". Of course the blacks are rioting. If someone declared it open season on all whities , kill all you like, they'd be rioting too.
I think the prime responsibility for this situation is the Mayor and the City Council . They should be thrown in jail.
And I think they will not be. They will get off scott free.
Ok. I think that brings us up on current affairs.
C-51 : Broader powers for CSIS
No one cares that you want to arrest more terrorists Go for it.
But we do care that these new laws could be turned against the canadian population. One need only look to the south to see the games they play to disenfranchise blacks. Certificates of 100$ or more to prove you're a voter (blacks only) , a math test that if you're white they ask you what 2+2 is , but if you're black they have this big huge jar of jelly beans and if you can't guess (correctly !) exactly how many are in you are shown the door, all sorts of games that make the canadian robocall scandel look tame.
I think they need to put in some kind of "for anti- terrorism purposes only" clause, or the next thing you know CSIS will be tracking your cell phone and your car and you'll be getting parking violation fines in the mail because CSIS will pass along the "Terrorist" info to the city police.
Personal Life
Personally , I'm moving to a bachelor pad under public housing, after a 5 year wait. The rent is cheap, the place kind of looks like a prison with the barren halls and thick doors that are basically not going to get kicked in , and I'll probably spend the rest of my days in there. Who gives up a cheap apartment when you can simply lock the door and ignore the neibours, no matter how obnoxious they get ?
Why am I telling you this ? I'm assuming Mrs Anonymous is my sister in toronto rather than some random stranger :) but if you are a random stranger , feel free to ignore this paragraph.

Ferguson, Missouri, Cops murder blacks
Article = http://www.economist.com/blogs/democracyinamerica/2015/03/law-enforcement
One of the things I dislike about many newspapers is the refusal to call a spade a spade. Not inciting riots , or calming things down , is the order of the day . Fixing the problem and punishing those responsible ... tossed aside as unimportant.
"EIGHT months after the fatal shooting of a local unarmed black teenager by a white police officer, tensions still simmer in the streets of Ferguson, Missouri. Last night about 150 demonstrators congregated where they always meet: in front of the police station on South Florissant Avenue. They rallied because of the resignation earlier yesterday of Thomas Jackson, the head of Ferguson police, in the wake of a scathing report by the Department of Justice (DOJ) that found that racial bias and petty harassment was rife in his force. Most of the demonstrators applauded Mr Jackson’s departure, but called for more heads to roll."
"Walking with Attitude" was the biggest one. The officer judged you had attitude and gave you a 50$ fine. Since the police chief was getting pressure to give out more and more fines from the Mayor, and this was considered an important source of income for the city , pretty much every time they saw a black man they fined him. Or black woman.
And when tensions explode, the police start shooting people.
https://youtu.be/xEuaew3uyhY
This video is a re-enactment of the shooting. At the end is the autopsy results that show that Brown was shot from very close range while he was kneeling , which is in direct conflict of the story the officer gave of brown stealing the officers gun and then running away, and somehow magically not firing the gun once, but the officer fired it six times inflicting six wounds in Brown , at some distance as brown ran away.
Despite the obviously guilty officer executing a kneeling brown , he was cleared of all charges.
Which is pretty much telling the black community "Open season on all blacks ! No Bag limit !"
Yeah , this is why posts pointing this out in american papers are quickly surpressed. No one wants them rioting (they're rioting anyways) no one wants to add fuel to the fire ... and no one wants to fix the situation.
The problem here is the definition of policing , and occupying.
Police are supposed to be friendly. They're supposed to hunt the criminals and protect the innocent. (hint : A 50$ ticket every time a cop see's you is not condusive to police and civilians being on friendly terms)
Occupiers are under no such limitations. Hunting "insurgents" (violent enemy troops) means a lot of rules get broken. But the point of occupation is , you need an army. You *WILL* take casualties. You are fighting armed enemy troops , you are pissing the population off , you are occupying the place.
If you want to be a cop, then police them.
If you want to be an occupier , you understand , occupiers take casualties. And this is not the fault of the occupied population. This is the cost of occupying territory that isn't yours, that isn't friendly to you. Either because it belongs to someone else, or because of people you essentially believe to be slaves , and how can any slave be on friendly terms to their "masters" ?
Last night about 150 demonstrators congregated where they always meet: in front of the police station on South Florissant Avenue. They rallied because of the resignation earlier yesterday of Thomas Jackson, the head of Ferguson police, in the wake of a scathing report by the Department of Justice (DOJ) that found that racial bias and petty harassment was rife in his force
It is so typically american to arrest the wrong person. The Chief of Police had nothing to do with this. He was obeying the orders of the Mayor and the City Council. He is being sacrificed to the crowd.
The problem here is that every mayor and city council in America is watching , and as far as they're concerned, if that mayor can get away with this , even if only for a few years before it falls apart, why can't they ? And this pattern will be repeated over and over. This is the price for rewarding criminals when you should be punishing them.
The demonstrators were just about to pack up at around midnight when gun shots suddenly rang through the air, injuring two policemen who were part of a cordon of officers standing side-by-side to protect the police station. The two policemen were from the neighbouring St Louis county police department, as the Ferguson force had asked for back-up last night. The department was "lucky by God’s grace we didn’t lose two officers,” said Jon Belmar, head of the St Louis county police. The men were released from hospital today. Meanwhile the shooter remains at large.
It was the luck of fools. Fools who shoot themselves in the foot only to find by some freak accident the bullets were badly manufactured and wont' fire. It wasn't god protecting you , if anything , it was the luck of the damned. And those arn't officers. Those are soldiers , in an occupying army. And soldiers take casualties. And you are the criminal for telling them anything else.
And next time they won't miss. No one is that lucky.
And there will be a next time , because you will use this time as justification to beat your slaves even harder, extort more money out of them , and murder a few more of them.
The crowning irony will be when you catch some poor innocent black man , beat the crap out of him and force a confession , while the real shooter is just biding his time waiting to strike again. Framing people isn't so much fun , when the real criminal is still out there waiting to take another shot.
This is the price you pay , when you turn your police into soldiers. When you occupy a place , instead of police it.
It should probably be noted : I am not condoning violence. I'm not saying "go out and shoot a cop". I am simply pointing out , that by the actions of one James Knowles , Mayor of Ferguson, and his cohorts Mark J. Byrne, Kim Tihen , Dwayne T. James , David Conway, Keith Kallstrom , all members of the city council , they have the death of at least one man , and the injury of two cops on their hands.
They are the real criminals here.
And they will never be charged with anything.

article =Charlie Hebdo: 'Islamist cyber attacks' hit France
.
.
On Thursday, the head of cyber security for the French military, Vice
Admiral Arnaud Coustilliere, said that "structured" groups and "well
known Islamist hackers" were behind the attacks against the 20,000
sites, but did not elaborate.
.
.
Welcome to our broken internet.
How is it broken ?
A bunch of religious nut cases on the other side of the world can now dictate what sites can and cannot opperate, based on their religious views. They don't care about your religious views.
How do we fix this internet ?
We cannot.
The American NSA is actively working to prevent you from securing the internet from anyone who might hack you. Oh , in their view point they're fighting terrorism, they want to be able to hack anyone in the whole wide world. But by putting in a back door , trap door, whatever they call it, into your network , they're openning it to every hacker in the world.
And it's been in the news pretty much every day for a year now that NSA likes to hack encryption and put in back doors, and when asked to stop the only response we got was from President Obama telling us to "GET OVER IT" he has no intention of stopping.
Our current internet is for entertainment purposes only.
You can't run a business on it, because entire nation states will hack you. Brazil , for example is ticked that NSA got caught red handed trying to help an american company win a contract in their oil industry (big money) against Petrobrazil. This is why all american companies got the boot from brazil , and why they're now building their own undersea data cable straight to europe , bypassing american snooping.
It will be interesting to see what happens with that Data Cable , since it has been mentioned on several groups that the americans have a submarine called the USS Jimmy Carter specifically equipped for bugging undersea cables. But that cable is more than a year, possibly a couple of years, away so we're not getting any updates any time soon.
There are articles to this day about some kind of double ellipse random number generator used in encryption that has a "trap door" , apparently if you feed the right numbers into it , somehow , and it's used in certain encryption algorythms, you can figure out the password quite easily. The details are not at all clear to me, the part where they sabataged your encryption and stuff you thought was hidden , is not , is pretty clear.
Why is encryption important ?
It's used by everyone. Banks, the military , police agencies (lives are on the line there, a lit of under cover operatives infiltrating drug gangs could get a lot of cops killed).
And now everyone knows to bang away at encryption , any encryption , because it's probably been sabataged. The UK government is thinking about banning encryption entirely if it doesn't have a back door to let them in (you gotta know the criminals, and terrorists are going to go looking for that back door).
The problem here is that you're not encrypting your stuff against your next door neibours, and the 20 guys that live in your neibourhood who probably don't know squat about encryption.
The problem is your little computer is hooked into the whole world, and there are entire nation states that have decided they want access to everything, every where. Every mom and pop shop, every private user just playing games, everything.
And in their footsteps follow the terrorists who want to draw up a list of Infidels and execute them (there have already been news reports of ISIS making mal ware to find the real world location of their enemies and then sending over death squads...)
And staying quiet and not bothering people has , historically , never actually worked. Plus the Sunni Muslims and the Shi'ite muslims consider not only all non muslims in the world to be infidels, but each other as well , and you now have hundreds of millions of people who think you're an Infidel and desperately need to be killed, no matter what faith you follow. (or even pretend to follow). No matter what you state as your faith , someone isn't going to like it.
The time has come to take this internet technology , that is mostly copy lefted (free for anyone to use) and make your own internal network , and not connect it to anyone else. Just use it to share the printer on your floor. The time has come to contact your client via cell phone (voice or text message) and keep the content of the message down to "I'm down stairs please open the door" , or "Meet you at the cafe at 3pm " or "I just sent a courier over with the documents on a USB stick" or some such.
Teleconferencing is now out for most companies, because they generally want to keep the contents of their little management meetings private.
The time has come for private individuals to throw trash on their face book or other public accounts. Assuming you can't just shut them down. Make friends with people you don't really like. Claim you are an avid knitter, and then ignore all the knitting advertisments you will be flooded with. If anyone tries to analyze your face book for sales data, it should be full of errors, because "sales analysis" is a fancy way of saying "how can we double the price and he'll actually pay it , whether he likes it or not".
The time has come for national data networks, networks that only work for one country , and kick everyone else out. Why ? Because CSIS (the canadian version of NSA) is beholden to the canadian voter, and so they can't get too obnoxious without some politician coming down on them. But the USA's NSA doesn't give a rats behind what the Canadian Voter thinks, so they'll give us the middle finger and continue to gang rape our privacy and commit industrial espianoge and everything they can to get whatever they can out of it.

(il ?) Legal Downloading
Article = none, personal opinion.
What is illegal downloading.
I have struggled to understand this question for a while now, and the answer isn't as simple as you think. The answer isn't "downloading stuff illegally" , technically an answer but hardly does it answer any questions.
Illegal downloading is ... like putting up a stand to sell seeds in the middle of the street, and posting a sign that says "10 cents a package".
It's not your street. And you leave the stand unattended a lot, in the middle of this buy street. And the shop owners nearby don't like you , because they pay taxes for their property , and you do not. And the owner of the seeds really don't like you , because you bought a few of their seeds last month, and then grew your own , and now you're selling new seeds, seeds that have never seen the inside of their shop.
and the owner of the stand is yelling at the police he's been robbed, frequently, by passers by who keep stealing his seeds when he's not around, which is a lot. And he wants the cops to go black mail these people into giving him money for those seeds, and no returning the seeds isn't good enough because they've probably grown new ones by the time the cops catch them.
Yes. That's what illegal downloading is.
You're selling stuff on someone elses network. Someone who's not just a random stranger, they're your direct business competition. You're not paying them for use of their network, but you are expecting them to enforce security for your business. And I suppose the ultimate insult is that the thing you are selling , the software or movies ? It's not running on your equipment , it's running on someone elses equipment (the customers own their own computers) . So what exactly are you providing here ?
You made some junk , you gave it away for free (or should have known it would get away free) and now you want every cop in the world to be your salesman. And you aint paying a sales commission. You want them to work free of charge at this. Arresting the very people they are being paid to protect , to protect your profits, oh and you probably arn't even from that country.
This is all A SICK JOKE !!!!
Go back to the old days where you ran your own TV network. Oh wait, we're still there. Those old TV networks are still here they're now into internet as well, but they still sell TV.
Then who are you with the illegal download complaints ?
You're some JACK ASS from the other side of the world who released some low quality recordings and now wants THE ENTIRE FREAKING WORLD to pay up , because you set up a stand on someone elses turf, let a few people steal your products, and now you want to send the cops after them.
This problem has a solution. Rather a simple one. But that solution wouldn't profit you because NO ONE WOULD ACTUALLY BUY YOUR CRAP IF THEY KNEW THEY WERE MAKING A PURCHASE. it's one thing to download 10 movies a day if they're free. It's another to look at my wallet and realize I can only afford one movie a month , what ever shall I buy this month ...
Even worse. The crap you're forcing people to buy (I won't say sell) is as ephereal as vapours. No one has a disk in their hand. No one has some kind of object with the movie, or song, or game. And when we do purchase from you , you pull stunts like "Only works on our player, gotta pay so much a month , every month , FOREVER , or we cut you off from your own library that you spent hundreds of dollars on. "
First time my devcie, computer, whatever crashes, I lose it all. If I catch a virus, and have to reformat and wipe it all down , I lose it all.
What you should do (but you won't , because drafting every cop in the world to be your unpaid salesman is cheaper) is put commercials inside those shows to pay for them. Make special formats that only work on special players (ps4 consol games, music, etc , doesn't get copied and stolen). Upload patches every now and then so that if someone tries to make a software player you can change the format and the software dev (who's working for free) will quickly give up after a time or two.
The solution isn't a bigger "10 Cents a pop" sign on your candy stand in the middle of someone elses street. The solution is get the heck off the street entirely, you have no business being there.

The Death of Eric Garner
http://youtu.be/pvATEjsf41g
This man is dead.
You'll notice he did not resist arrest, though the police no doubt will claim he did. Watch the video for yourself and make up your own mind on this point.
Officer Daniel Pantaleo was cleared of any wrong doing by a US Grand Jury.
This decision , apparently , means it's ok to kill people when you arrest them.
And you wonder why the rioting continues.
Interesting point. The police apparently are not permitted to stop people from recording incidents like this. There's no way they couldn't know the guy with the camera was recording , but they made no attempt to stop him.

Loblaws and the Data Pad
article = none, personal experience.
Went to the Loblaws yesterday (at Elmvale Shopping Center , here in Ottawa), they had a Black Friday Special , an android data pad , 4 gigabytes. Only 39.95 . It was in their flyer and everything.
Lined up for 7am this morning , before they even openned.
The things were gone. The manager admitted that one had been sold to a staff member ,and simply shrugged indifferently that the others were missing (there had been a pile of 4).
Hmm...show up and they're all sold out BEFORE the doors even open ? Thats gotta be some kind of illegal. False advertising or something.

Is the NSA Evil ?
Wow , I've really been picking on the NSA lately , havn't I ? Just looked down the list of previous blog posts and you'd almost thing I had a fetish over them or something ?
I can't decide if it's because I'm bored , or because there's nothing else going on. I mean , there is that war against ISIS , but I found a TV show (in english) being aired in Iraq where they catch a few suicide bombers and take them back to the places they struck , and then the regular (muslim) citizens come out and start screaming at them about how they have very little and you burned it all down you (swear word, swear word sweear word) how could you do this ?
The only relevant answer any of them gave was " to degrade iraqi security".
Huh ? You're degrading security so you can invade a muslim country ... to conquer it for who ? They're already muslims. You're already muslims ...
Yeah. This ISIS thing isn't a religious war, it's just gangsters running around in a place with no cops.
Any ways, back to the NSA.
Lets pretend you live in a western nation , and the police , an actual agency of the government it doesn't matter which one , decide they need your bank records. Sounds ok so far , right ?
So they go to the bank on a sunday , when no one is around and they pick the lock. But they're not very good lock picks so they break the lock , and they go in and disable the alarms, and they're not very good at it , so they leave the alarms disabled. They look up your bank records, print out a couple of copies, and they're pretty happy and they walk away.
Leaving the alarms to the bank off , and the door still unlocked.
Oh , and one police officers took a copy home with him , and his kid got a hold of it , and made paper air planes out of it, and sent them flying off out the window to god only knows where.
You'd be pretty ticked, wouldn't you ?
The NSA broke standard encryption.
That is to say , they sabataged encryption standards so that it was easy to break encryption , and then they pushed these broken standards on everyone in the world.
This is the equivilant of pushing faulty locks on everyone in the world. You think your door is locked, but hte first time a criminal takes a run at it , he's going to find it dang easy to open.
And that is the problem here. NSA didn't just insert a back door for their own use to get at peoples records. They left the door wide open , flapping in the wind, for everyone , every hacker in the world , to come in and help themselves. And so the Russian Hackers did. And so the Chinese hackers did. And all those terrorists that the NSA claims they're fighting ? Yeah , they took a run at the (broken) encryption as well.
If you were a tax payer, and you had a government organization that professed loud and long that it's job was to fight terrorism , but it went and made it easy for the terrorists to hack into ... well...everything. AND , to this day , they still object if anyone tries to harden their encryption , they loudly proclaim YOU are assisting terrorists by defending yourself from every hacker in the world .... what would you think ?
Think about it.

What do we do about the NSA ?
Article = None , personal Opinion
NSA , intecepting phone calls inside of america , claiming they only listen in on meta data .
NSA , repeatedly lying to their own senate, and getting caught.
NSA , sharing information with the FBI , so they can "create parrallel lines of investigation" to convict (read that "Frame" ) drug dealers, their right to defend themselves and face their accusers effectively revoked by divine fiat (oops... presidential fiat , I meant to say)
Hmm... do I really want to get into the part where we're defending drug dealers ? Isn't that Ichy ? Well...how do we know they're drug dealers ... because they were convicted ... Oh right ... they were framed, the conviction is a fantasy of the FBI's "perfect case" that doesn't require a shred of real evidence, becuase the 'real evidence' is actually highly illegal to bring into a court so they just made stuff up.
Rather like convicting me because you know where my phone was , but tracking my phone is illegal , so you'll pay an informant to say I was at 9th and Trembley , oh I deny it I must be lying of course people who commit crimes lie ! , and deny me the opportunity to point out that my girlfriends phone died that day so i lent her mine until she could recharge hers ...
NSA sabataged encryption standards , so as to hack and read anyones messages.
NSA writes malware to infect computers owned by people they don't like.
NSA has committed industrial espionage (Petrobrazil , hacked their computers to see what their bid was on a Brazilian project and give the information to a competing american corperation so the american could win , which is why brazil has been ticked at USA for over a year now ... )
On and on , and every day new revelations.
What do we do about these terrible , terrible people ?
The USA has made a number of promises. Promises about being a great democracy , a beacon of freedom, a safe haven for capitalism. And quite frankly , it has fallen down and broken many of those promises. No question at all about it.
But it is still a better place to live than Russia. As much as I admire Edward Snowden and consider him a hero for unveiling the dishonesty of the NSA , and in truth the entire USA (ie: Obama is backing up the NSA to the hilt, so we gotta blame the whole government , it isn't just "one rogue branch" ) , as much as I admire him , I have no intention of joining him in russia.
As much as I admire China's efforts to get another operating system off the the ground and kick the windows habit , that admiration stems from a need for all of us , all nations (except the USA) needing to kick the windows habit, and it's good to pay attention to the guy going first so you don't make the mistakes he made. I have no intention of moving to china , and I certainly don't applaude their endless cycle of human rights violations (except maybe against the muslim radicals ...) I merely watch with the interest of one who knows we are next in line to walk the same path.
Because lets face it. You can't plant spy devices in stuff when people are watching you. They'll say things like "That's a USA phone ? You know the NSA is listenning on everything you do , right ? Oh ,and they share that info wtih the FBI and even local law enforcement, so the average cop on the street is probably listenning in on your phone as well "
If you are a foriegn government building a secure network , and the USA twists your arm and makes you sign a treaty saying USA corperations (whom you KNOW FOR CERTAIN will plant bugs in that suddenly not so secure network) are allowed to bid , and they routinley underbid local corperations , guess what ? You don't have to accept anyone's bid . You can turn around and decide you aint going to waste the money , because it's supposed to be a secure netowrk , and it obviously isn't secure.
And if they force you to bulid it anyways, you will build the crappiest , most worthless "secure" network you can get away with it , and then warn everyone within a country mile it's being spied on they shouldn't use it. Then you'll stop paying the bills to maintain it and let it slowly fall apart.
I predict the rise of a new kind of secure network. And it will be called "Sneaker Net". And it will be guys in sneakers with security clearances and usb sticks and chits for unlimited taxi rides running back and forth all over the capital city of every nation in the world. And it will be ok for them to talk with the cabbie , because they have no idea whats on the usb sticks they carry so they can't reveil anything anyways.
I predict Joe Average will stop using the current , infested internet . He will have no choice. The number of hacking incidents is always rising. And after your bank account gets cleared out a time or two , you kind of get the picture maybe this internet is crap , and you don't care that people blame you for having a weak password or what not , you just know you can't make rent this month because some russian (or chinese) hackers just cleared you out.
I predict Joe Average will lay some cable of his own so his near by neibours and himself can share information without some hackers on the other side of the world getting copies. I predict this cabling will be artfully not mentioned to anyone in authority, because that annoying TIPPS or TAPPS or whatever it is treaty just may come into force , rendering such "private networks" totally illegal , but people will do them anyways.
I predict people meeting at coffee shops , with lap tops , and ignoring the free wifi , as they sit and chat and drink their copy , and exchange usb sticks, and copy data back and forth , and return the usb sticks, keeping a copy of the information. All without any of it being transmitted over the air or across a wire for any intelligence agency or hacker anywhere to copy.
I predict MMO games (online virtual worlds) will become one of the few applications to remain on the old network , for a time, because you pretty much know you're associating with a bunch of total strangers and you're not going to reviel your life secrets to them. But even that time may be limited, because even this last week , the beginning of September 2014 , a group of hackers tried to take down World of Warcraft , one of the largest MMO's on the planet. And in five years, who knows, maybe they'll succeed in knocking it off , at which point the internet will likely be declared unusuable and be scrapped anyways.
Won't that be a hoot. NSA invests all this effort into forcing everyone onto this one , single internet , one with no security they havn't sabataged , so they can spy on the world. Woopsie ... can't actually use the thing it's full of spammers and hackers and black mailers who keep knocking your servers off line ! Ferget about it lets try something different ...
What do we Do about the NSA ?
NSA , intercepting traffic on sub sea cables and recording that traffic.NSA , intecepting phone calls inside of america , claiming they only listen in on meta data .
NSA , repeatedly lying to their own senate, and getting caught.

Not a dang thing.

I predict the rise of a new kind of secure network. And it will be called "Sneaker Net". And it will be guys in sneakers with security clearances and usb sticks and chits for unlimited taxi rides running back and forth all over the capital city of every nation in the world. And it will be ok for them to talk with the cabbie , because they have no idea whats on the usb sticks they carry so they can't reveil anything anyways.
I predict Joe Average will stop using the current , infested internet . He will have no choice. The number of hacking incidents is always rising. And after your bank account gets cleared out a time or two , you kind of get the picture maybe this internet is crap , and you don't care that people blame you for having a weak password or what not , you just know you can't make rent this month because some russian (or chinese) hackers just cleared you out.
I predict Joe Average will lay some cable of his own so his near by neibours and himself can share information without some hackers on the other side of the world getting copies. I predict this cabling will be artfully not mentioned to anyone in authority, because that annoying TIPPS or TAPPS or whatever it is treaty just may come into force , rendering such "private networks" totally illegal , but people will do them anyways.
I predict people meeting at coffee shops , with lap tops , and ignoring the free wifi , as they sit and chat and drink their copy , and exchange usb sticks, and copy data back and forth , and return the usb sticks, keeping a copy of the information. All without any of it being transmitted over the air or across a wire for any intelligence agency or hacker anywhere to copy.
I predict MMO games (online virtual worlds) will become one of the few applications to remain on the old network , for a time, because you pretty much know you're associating with a bunch of total strangers and you're not going to reviel your life secrets to them. But even that time may be limited, because even this last week , the beginning of September 2014 , a group of hackers tried to take down World of Warcraft , one of the largest MMO's on the planet. And in five years, who knows, maybe they'll succeed in knocking it off , at which point the internet will likely be declared unusuable and be scrapped anyways.
Won't that be a hoot. NSA invests all this effort into forcing everyone onto this one , single internet , one with no security they havn't sabataged , so they can spy on the world. Woopsie ... can't actually use the thing it's full of spammers and hackers and black mailers who keep knocking your servers off line ! Ferget about it lets try something different ...

TTPA
This is the part where our politicians sell our country out from under us , pocket some bribe money , and leave town quick.
Note the part where it mentions 9 other countries ? They mean Canada as well.

Searching for truth in Gaza conflict
article
It has been my observation certain news articles , especially unpopular ones, tend to mysteriously vanish. So , I'm copying this one , in full, it was written by John Robson , QMI agency , in the toronto sun.
With Israel winding down its incursion into Gaza, we search through the physical and mental rubble for lessons. As usual, an air of unreality permeates the exercise.
The conventional wisdom seems to be that a brutal Israeli overreaction to Hamas provocations outraged world opinion and forced Tel Aviv back to the negotiating table with reasonable local players and its staunch American ally to seek a two-state solution to help the poor Palestinians. Not one bit of that is true.
OK. The Hamas provocations were real, from rocket attacks to an elaborate expensive network of terror tunnels. But Israel did not overreact and was not brutal.
Those who say “Israel has a right to defend itself but…” have never explained what it could have done that would have been less forceful yet effective. And despite the common narrative of Israel as a callous bully spraying fire at civilians and outraging world opinion, the IDF acted to minimize civilian and maximize jihadi deaths with considerable effect.
Most accounts tell you the bulk of victims were “civilians” then list a few dead children for added pathos. And all decent people are horrified by non-combatant deaths, young or old, and wish they could be avoided. But in fact a far higher proportion of the dead are young men with terrorist affiliations than would result from careless or random fire. And Hamas has been storing weapons in schools, firing from beside hospitals, hiding tunnel entrances behind UNRWA signs and otherwise seeking to maximize innocent deaths it can then exploit for publicity and recruitment.
Why do we hear so little of this? Because the official account of events within Gaza comes from Hamas, which doesn’t just kill Jews and its own people without compunction, as human shields or in brutal extralegal torture-murders of suspected collaborators. It also routinely bullies and threatens journalists, who then say, and omit, what Hamas dictates without mentioning that they report under duress.
As for international “pressure” helping end the incursion, world opinion may influence the course of debate in a genuinely divided society like, say, white South Africa during apartheid. But something like 95% of Israeli Jews favoured “Operation Protective Edge.” Mind you, more than half think it ended too soon.
Thus the Obama administration is doubly deluded in thinking UN, Western liberal and Islamist outrage now force a stubborn Israeli government to join a negotiating process among various local parties seeking a genuine compromise solution. John Kerry can trade words with open backers of Hamas like Qatar and Turkey until his Nobel Peace Prize comes home, but Israelis know there’s no partner for peace on the other side so they do what they need to do and stop when they think it’s done.
As it happens most of Israel’s neighbours hate and fear Hamas, and its Iranian backers, so much that for once they don’t want to kill the Jews then start in on each other. This time the Saudi, Egyptian and Jordanian governments, among others, want to do it in the other order.
Finally, the Muslim world does not sympathize with the Palestinians. No Arab neighbour has offered them refuge and citizenship at any point in the last 66 years. Instead, like Hamas, those governments find Palestinian suffering instrumentally useful but otherwise uninteresting.
There is an old saying that a lie is half-way around the world before the truth gets its boots on. But as the dust settles, at least some people will keep asking questions like: Why do the negotiations go nowhere? What does the Hamas Charter say? Why do media peddle Hamas numbers? Why should we trust Western journalists and politicians who are so reliably wrong on every important aspect of the Middle East?
Why the persistent air of unreality?

Wow Voice Chat
Wow is an online game I play a lot. It has built in voice chat ,which didn't matter because when it first came out , years ago , it sucked pretty bad.
But these days, it's a lot better.
So I"m making this article on my blog to show people how to set it up , and we'll give it another go.
When you're in the game, press Esc , system , and select voice . This should bring you to the voice chat screen.
Obviously , make sure the "Enable Voice Chat" box is selected.
And Go to the custom channel part. You will click on it , enter the channel name, and the password , if there is a password. And then you should be happily chatting with everyone else on the channel. Note that if the channel doesn't exist , it will be created.
And that should be that.
But these days, it's a lot better.
So I"m making this article on my blog to show people how to set it up , and we'll give it another go.
When you're in the game, press Esc , system , and select voice . This should bring you to the voice chat screen.
Obviously , make sure the "Enable Voice Chat" box is selected.
We'll start with the Microphone. Pick the first one in the list of Microphones , make sure the volume is about half (you can move it up and down if it turns out to be too loud) .
Press the Record Button , say "Test Test Test" into your microphone , and then press play. You should hear your voice . You should also in the Volume Read Out right beside the play button , see a little gray bar moving back and forth with your voice. If you see the grey bar moving around when you talk , you know your microphone is set up. If not , check your mic. Is it plugged in ? Is it turned on , etc.
If that fails , go to the List of Microphones and try the next one. Work your way down the list and hopefully one of them will work.
Speakers are pretty obvious. If you can hear your voice from the microphone test , you don't have to do anything. Otherwise , move all the volume controls to 50% , start with the top speaker , and try again. Work your way down the list until you can hear yourself.
The settings you see here are correct for push to talk. That is , people only hear you when you're pushing the transmit button , and I've selected the left control key as the key. If you want a different one, press the red button and press some other key , and that will be the transmit key.
Now that we (I hope !) have you talking , it's time to choose a Chat channel.
Open the channel menu, it's on the minimap.
And that should be that.

New Fire Alarm System (Or a Hidden Mic)
New fire alarm system. They now put the speakers right inside your home.
Problem is , it's the post Edward Snowden Era , and thoughts about NSA and CSEC spying on you and everything are flying all over the internet.
And now they're putting this thing in every single apartment.
Product specs look innocent enough of you look up a Wheelock E50 Speaker , but still. It would be a really good way to put a microphone in every apartment in the country , wouldn't it ?
Overly Suspicious ? Yes. Tin Foil Hat ?

Like they put data taps in computers that were headed for china. (real fact , not tin foil hat theory , they got caught red handed.)
Congradualtions. I don't know whether the thing is bugged or not , that's speculation , but a path now exists for the NSA to put a microphone in every non-americans home. And by the way , the consider it perfectly legal.
Probably it's just a Speaker.
But they claim the right to bug it , if they like.
I want it removed.

I talked to the Land Lord, he is REQUIRED by the fire code, to put speakers in every apartment.
And the Crux of The Matter :
The USA has declared it has the right to order it's corperations to cooperate with government departments, such as the NSA , to assist in spying. We have seen examples of them putting bugs in routers, or other computers, and shipping them off to China, bugging Angela Merkels phone (German Chancellor). Etc etc.
Odds are , there ISN'T a microphone in those speakers. :)
But still , the USA has reserved the right to put one there , if they feel like. And if those speakers are everywhere in Canada , or even just everywhere in Ontario (depending on what level the fire code is operating at) , that means the USA has reserved the right , at least , to spy on anyone in Ontario , if they feel like it.
And by the way , Obama has already declared this kind of activity to be perfectly legal.
I protest , and I want this USA made device out of my apartment. I don't trust it. Even if it has no listening device in it now , sooner or later it will need repairs, which means it essentially reserves permission to put one in , any time they feel like , and call it a repair visit.
Allowing the USA to put devices in every home in the province or country is a huge mistake , and I think it should be undone. XXXXX XXXXXXXX
(Edit) Conversation with the Land Lord to have it removed. They refuse. It's part of the Fire Code to have it in every unit of the building.
What the heck is this thing ?
What the heck is this thing ?
Ok , firstly , I admit , these pics have been in my camera a while. This thing just apeared one day at this corner , I don't know what it is , but it has the city of ottawa logo on it. A day or two later, it was moved to the opposite side of the intersection , and a few days later it was gone.
I'm guessing ... traffic counter ?
Who knows. That dish at the top looks like a really tiny radar dish. And it's pointed at the center of the intersection.
The weirdest things these days keep popping up.
Little Doggie (ok, it's a fox)
It's probably not shown very well , but near the Elmvale Shopping center in Ottawa, Ont, there was a fox running loose. I caught some pics, this is the best one. It's not that good. Hopefully it will magnify properly when you click on it...

Caliphate Summer War
Iraq fighting rages after Sunni militants declare caliphate
Alarming regional and world powers, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) claimed universal authority when it dropped the local element in its name and said its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as leader of the Islamic state, was now caliph of the Muslim world — a medieval title last widely recognized in the Ottoman sultan deposed 90 years ago after the First World War.
"He is the imam and caliph for Muslims everywhere," group spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani said in an online statement on Sunday, using titles that carry religious and civil power.
Dang. I had such hopes for this group. If Iraq was such a corrupt dive of a country , maybe the muslims would solve the problem and make their own , stable nation.
But now , with this declaration that they rule the world , and all muslims should obey and all non-muslims need to die , I see the truth.
This is a Summer War.
What is a Summer War ?
In europe , in the napolionic era , when there was no birth control , guess how they cut back the population ? They got all the young men all hot and bothered about some cause or another , and sent them off to war , deliberately seeking to get them killed off. Commanders actually had orders not to return until they had gotten rid of a certain amount of their command.
The other muslim countries are not going to cow tow to some upstart, that much is certain. And the west certainly isn't going to stand back and let some islamic super power come into existance with the publically stated coal of brutally murdering anyone not following their particular brand of islam.
This is a summer war. It's just to get all the young men fire up , and then kill them off. A flash in the pan. It's going no where.

This new email-tracking feature gives salespeople NSA-like powers
Article
So , you open a spam message , and before you even finish reading it you get a phone call from the guy who sent it . And he knows where you live , because you probably checked it at home , and he's in the neibourhood he'll be right over to talk to you about it , in fact , that's him knocking on your door right now ...
Yeah. That's not going to be good for me.
I see a lot of "weak willed" shall we say , people ,who are too polite to be dealing with aggressive salesmen , they'll lose their shirts , it's like throwing a lion in with a lamb.
Lot of people going to stop checking their email entirely , and maybe even get rid of their cell phone , if this thing goes big.
Won't bother me though. If you arn't one of like five or six people I want to talk to , I don't answer the phone I reject the call. And I have no problem with just not opennign the door , demanding "who is it ?" before I let them in , and if it isn't a cop in full uniform , they aint getting in.

Dollar vs Bitcoin
Just a Funny Picture.
PS: I still think bitcoin is a scam and you'll lose your shirt if you deal in it.
Unless you're a drug dealer , in which case losing 15% or more on each transaction is cheap for money laundering.
'Nother words, go Harper ! Feel free to ban the currency as illegal , you'll be doing everyone but the drug dealers a favor.

That is two cases of lighter fluid (techincially , Zip brand fire starter fluid for barbeque's) and a whole stack of charcoal.
Where is it ? It's just under the edge of the check out counter for the 8 items or less line at the Metro. A high traffic zone.
Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe it's perfectly legal to store such an *EXPLOSIVE* combination of goods in a high traffic area. But if it is ... that law needs to be changed. Because ... *BOOOM*

Understanding Bit Coins in one simple lesson
Understanding Bit Coins in one simple lesson.
I put 20$ in the bitcoin machine. I get 17$ and change back. I can now go spend that 17$ and change.
If I'm a money launderer , who doesn't want the police tracking my transactions just by reading off the serial numbers on the bills , this is a pretty good exchange rate. I'm losing 15% value in exchange for anonymity. I can live with that. In fact, it's a cheaper surcharge than many other forms of money laundering.
Simple. Really.

Man wrongfully convicted of rape tells court he never gave statement to RCMP
Article
HALIFAX - A man wrongfully convicted of raping a 14-year-old Nova Scotia girl in 1969 testified today that at the time he was charged he never gave a statement to the RCMP and did not plead guilty at a trial, even though that's what the record shows.
.
.
.
Those documents also say it wasn't until 2008 that his accuser admitted to the RCMP that her brother had repeatedly sexually assaulted her in the late 1960s, which led to DNA testing proving he was the father of her child.
So in 1969 , this 14 year old girl had sex with her brother , got knocked up , and blamed it on this guy.
39 years later , when she was 52 , and the brother passed away , she finally admitted she lied and the guy was innocent.
39 years later ?
What kind of witch was this woman ? What kind of society do we live in where she's allowed to walk free after forcing a man to live h is entire life under her false accusation , a criminal record and everythign , and oh , now that you're life is over , now that you're about to retire , which doesn't care about what you did or didn't do , now that you no longer have to deal with an employer and explain "Yes , I'm a rapist" even though you're not , now that the maximum possible harm has been inflicted upon you and there is nothing but old age left , I'll clear your name. Just to twist the dagger in a bit deeper and add a little bit more to your suffering.
This kind of woman is not a victim. she needs to go to jail. she is a threat to every single man out there. A shining example that a woman can get you thrown in jail just on her word alone , no evidence at all required. And guess what , all the people that helped her ? They were men as well.
They were idiots. And they're next in line to have their lives ruined by some woman with a complete lack of scrupels , of which there is an abundance.
She's going to walk free, she's going to cry a river of false tears . She's going to claim she's a victim, raped for all the days of her life , as if he kept her in a basement and she had no chance to sneak off to the cops. She isn't the victim. she's the criminal. Her whole flipping life she was humping her brother. She loved it , and just needed a patsy to blame the child on. She didn't give a crud about anyone but her own lusts.
She should spend the rest of her days in jail.
But she wont.
Instead , she'll serve as a shining example to every woman in canada as to what you can get away with.
And the males who helped her have inspired women everywhere to ruin their lives. Because they're idiots.

An NSA kind of day
I think the NSA is blocking certain posts these days. You know , someone says yahoo has this really great encryption that's going to stop the NSA dead , you try to post a comment that this all started because the FBI showed up at Lavabit's front door with a court order for the encryption keys so they could read not just Edward Snowdens email , but everyone elses too , and suddenly you can't post.
You try to read this article on the various (useless) plans the USA has for doing nothing but looking like they're doing something , meanwhile in the back ground there's this video going on of Obama repeating over and over again that America has no interest in what the common man is doing (despite 10 months of news of the NSA trying to "get it all" , every byte of information from everywhere) and you can't turn it off no matter what you do ... Gawd I really cant stand listening to that lying plick another second !
Then the artical about Black Berry breaking up with T-Mobile , and they're saying it's because Blackberry is having an unreasonable hissy fit , but I'm thinking (and trying to comment) that it's because the NSA broke their encryption and is trying it again , and is probably demanding they hand over the encryption keys or you can't sell Black Berries anymore in the USA, but don't tell anyone that or it's 10 years in jail thanks to the American "Secret" laws that have been in the paper soon. But can I post that ? No ... the post button suddenly doesn't work.
And now they're threatenning to sue Europe because Europe wants to build a network that's just for themselves and doesn't pass through America. Apparently , trying to stop americans from spying on you is a violation of american free trade agreements.
And then theres those idiots who think that by selling off parts of the internet to private parties America is giving up too much of it to foriegners. Hello ? We don't want your NSA infested internet. We don't trust it. We want to start our own that doesn't go anywhere near your junk.
I think they deliberately want to piss off the whole world. Normally , when a criminal gets caught , he lays low for a while. He doesn't stand up and give you the middle finger and say "Screw you ! I aint gonna stop ! "
Which seems to be exactly what the americans are doing.
You try to read this article on the various (useless) plans the USA has for doing nothing but looking like they're doing something , meanwhile in the back ground there's this video going on of Obama repeating over and over again that America has no interest in what the common man is doing (despite 10 months of news of the NSA trying to "get it all" , every byte of information from everywhere) and you can't turn it off no matter what you do ... Gawd I really cant stand listening to that lying plick another second !
Then the artical about Black Berry breaking up with T-Mobile , and they're saying it's because Blackberry is having an unreasonable hissy fit , but I'm thinking (and trying to comment) that it's because the NSA broke their encryption and is trying it again , and is probably demanding they hand over the encryption keys or you can't sell Black Berries anymore in the USA, but don't tell anyone that or it's 10 years in jail thanks to the American "Secret" laws that have been in the paper soon. But can I post that ? No ... the post button suddenly doesn't work.

What are you doing that you're so concerned with NSA listening in on your calls ?
Article = none, personal opinion
"What are you doing that you're so concerned with NSA listening in on your calls ? "
This is the kind of question that you normally dismiss as a debating trick. It's an ad hominen attack (attack on the person giving the argument , not the argument itself) , accusing him of some secret wrong doing and thats why he's taking this side of the debate.
But I suppose it is also a fair question. What am I doing that this whole Edward Snowden NSA thing bothers me so much ?
In 2011 I received a phone call from a machine. The call went roughly like this "Press One if you support the Liberals. Press Two if you support the Conservatives. Press three if you support the NDP" . My first reaction was ... arn't you supposed to tell me who you are ? Who's running this poll ? It didn't even do that. I looked at my phone and I said "Who the (bleep ! ) are you ? " and I hung up on it without entering any response.
Six or eight months later , the news broke in Canada of the Robocall Scandal. Apparently , someone had programmed a machine to call up lots and lots of people and ask them who they were going to vote for . Apparently anyone who indicated they were going to vote for some particular party got a call back from a human being telling them the polls had moved. And when they went to the new polling station , they were told this is not your polling station , you can't vote here. Most of them didn't bother going back to the old polling station , they just went home and forgot about it.
Which means that one particular party got robbed of a lot of votes , enough to cost them the election.
This happened because some politicians got themselves a list of voters , their phone numbers, and their political affiliation. I'd say some untrustworthy politicians , but that would be redundant. Politics is a dirty game and they're all untrustworthy.
How does this relate to the NSA / Edward Snowden thing , you ask ?
NSA now has a big honking list of voters, their phone numbers , and their political affiliations. But not just for America. They have it for lots and lots of other nations. And they're shooting for every nation in the world.
If some politician came along and started running on an "I hate the NSA" platform , and NSA has a list like this for that district , do you really trust them *NOT* to interfere in that election ? Keep in mind this is the organization that by Fisa rule 702 has been granted permission to spy on every non-american in the whole wide world , just because they're not an american. Do you think they'll hesitate for an instant before deciding to rig some election in some foreign country in their favor ?
What am I doing that I'm so concerned with the NSA listening in on my calls ? On everyone's calls as a matter of fact ?
I'm casting my vote for who will rule my country. And I'm expecting it to actually be worth something.
That's what I'm doing.

Fisa : Section 702
Article
Passed in 2008, Section 702 retroactively gave cover of law to a post-9/11 effort permitting the NSA to collect phone, email, internet and other communications content when one party to the communication is reasonably believed to be a non-American outside the United States. The NSA stores Prism data for five years and communications taken directly from the internet for two years.
Apparently it is perfectly legal , in america , to spy on non-americans. Just because they're non americans. Not because you suspect they're terrorists or anything , but simply because hey , they're not americans , go for it.
I'm going to store this little tibit here where I can find it any time I need.

Internet Cable from Brazil to EU
article = none , personal opinion
In the age of NSA ticking off all the non-americans greatly (especially Brazil, they got caught helping an american company try and win a bid on a contract ... we call that industrial espionage , not fighting terrorists) , Brazil has decided to run an internet cable from Brazil to Europe directly , without going through the USA at all, and thus avoiding NSA.
There have been several responses to this , on the web , recently , one being the USA will just tap the new wire and continue business as usual (apparently a Sub named Jimmy Carter has already been trained and equipped for this particular mission) , another being that this is just a smoke screen , the cable through the USA has degraded to the point that it can only support voice calls so they would have had to replace it anyways, and a third objection commonly raised is that the lowered latency for a direct cable means data centers in brazil will be very useful to people in europe, very responsive, able to move a lot of data ,etc , thus they're competing for USA business.
As a Canadian who doesn't much like the NSA , and openly confesses to feeling shame over the actions of NSA and it's little tiny Canadian brother CSEC who apparently is following faithfully in the footsteps of NSA , I would like to make a few comments.
One . You can't just go tap an undersea data cable. In this day and age of outrage at NSA ? They are watching you. What exactly do you think is going to be the political consequences of you getting caught tapping a brand new cable ? They won't be war, USA is the largest military power in the world, but you can expect trade boycots galore.
Having already been caught red handed in industrial espionage , in helping americans win commerical contracts , USA is not far from a situation where European (and Brazliian) Governments simply start adding a clause to their contracts that USA based corperations need not bother to submit a bid , they are not eligable to win this contract.
If the fight for contracts is not a fair fight , if one side is cheating so that they always win , and everyone else always loses, everyone else is going to pick up their marbles and go play somewhere else , and leave the "winner" to go play with himself.
I would like to say Canada will follow this tactic , but I'm probably wrong. The government and both major opposition political parties (ie: all three front runners) have been amazingly quiet on the entire issue. The only hint we have is one of the governments ministors bad mouthing Snowden as a traitor and saying he deserves to be thrown in jail for a really long time.
If this is the Canadian Government's opinion , it's pretty obvious they're obediently falling in line behind big brother USA and arn't going to lift a finger to protect even their own population. And threatenning to vote for the opposition gets you no where.
So what do you do ?
You must assume the attitude "If it's electronic , it's bugged" , "If you're competing with an american corperation , NSA is helping them". "If the product manufacturer is based in the USA , NSA owns their little behind and there's probably a back door, though they will deny that. They are legally required to for the first two years of any new prodect they come out with " (Obama's great "compromise" with american corperations ... not much of a compromise if you're non-american)
Put dirt on your face book. Claim to love knitting , make friends with a few people you hate , mess up their metrics , and if the cops come calling , tell them you deliberately threw dirt in your profile because you knew they were watching. What can they do ? They're on your doorstep because they're watching ...
Confusion to the enemies !
And stop buying American. We can't really stop them from spying on us , but we can at least hit them in the pocket book.
