How to protect yourself from NSA and PRISM surveillance

Ditch your smartphone


If we assume that Apple, Google and Microsoft are being monitored, then the safest way to avoid being tracked is to ditch your smartphone. A number of services already ask for your location, in the name of providing better search results or services. And BlackBerry, of course, is no better; that company has already acceded to requests to allow foreign governments access to its data, so the paranoiacs should ditch them, too. Feature phones may be no better, but the amount of information that can be captured is much smaller.

NSA PRISM program taps in to user data of Facebook, Yahoo and others | World news | The Guardian

Top secret PRISM program claims direct access to servers of firms including Google, Apple and Facebook
• Companies deny any knowledge of program in operation since 2007

The National Security Agency has obtained direct access to the systems of Google, Facebook, Apple and other US internet giants, according to a top secret document obtained by the Guardian.

spy_eyeThe NSA access is part of a previously undisclosed program called PRISM, which allows officials to collect material including search history, the content of emails, file transfers and live chats, the document says.

The Guardian has verified the authenticity of the document, a 41-slide PowerPoint presentation – classified as top secret with no distribution to foreign allies – which was apparently used to train intelligence operatives on the capabilities of the program. The document claims “collection directly from the servers” of major US service providers.

Although the presentation claims the program is run with the assistance of the companies, all those who responded to a Guardian request for comment on Thursday denied knowledge of any such program.

In a statement, Google said: “Google cares deeply about the security of our users’ data. We disclose user data to government in accordance with the law, and we review all such requests carefully. From time to time, people allege that we have created a government ‘back door’ into our systems, but Google does not have a back door for the government to access private user data.”

Several senior tech executives insisted that they had no knowledge of PRISM or of any similar scheme. They said they would never have been involved in such a program. “If they are doing this, they are doing it without our knowledge,” one said.

An Apple spokesman said it had “never heard” of PRISM.

The NSA access was enabled by changes to US surveillance law introduced under President Bush and renewed under Obama in December 2012.

The IRS Just Canceled Its Softball Game This Week With a GOP Senator’s Staff — And Wait Until You See the Team Name

They’re not playing ball.

The IRS softball team has canceled their Friday game with Sen. John Cornyn’s staff, amid the still-evolving scandal of targeting conservative organizations.

The game has not been rescheduled.

By the way, the IRS’s team name?

“The Cheetahs.”

Cornyn (R-Texas) posted the cancellation announcement on Facebook Thursday morning:

Al-Qaida’s terror plans posted on Facebook

BREAKING: Al-Qaida‘s terror plans posted on Facebook
It seems you and your kids aren’t the only ones using Facebook these days.

Even the bad guys are hooked.

Just look what was posted on the Facebook page of a terrorist exposed in a disaster planned for this week.

The Tunisian man arrested this week on charges of plotting to derail a Canadian train posted all the chilling details of the inner workings of  al-Qaida on his Facebook page – including numerous links to other notorious terror groups.

Chiheb Esseghaier’s Facebook page was captured by Walid Shoebat, a Palestinian former Muslim who converted to Christianity, just moments before it was deleted.

A Left Wing Racist Democrat Tries To Assassinate A Black President..

Racist Democrat is “ALL SHOOK UP”..

  Elvis impersonator, was arrested for sending letters laced with ricin to Obama and to Republican Senator Roger Wicker. Inhaling the toxin is deadly, and all it takes to kill a human is an amount 1/288 the size of an aspirin.

A picture of the man, a white guy whom I will henceforth refer to as John, surfaced on the Internet (where pictures are wont to surface). It comes from his Facebook page and shows John kneeling down beside the back bumper of a car, which has a sticker on it that reads, “Christian and a Democrat.” John is giving the sticker a thumbs-up.

However, his Facebook page lists his political views as “Independent.” So the fact that he gave a pro-Democrat bumper sticker a thumbs-up and also tried killing a Democratic president likely means he is one of those people who feel that Obama is too moderate, that the Democratic Party is not suitably liberal, and therefore has registered as an Independent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gabby Giffords holding an AR-15 rifle at a gun range.

Mark Kelly’s ‘AR-15 Stunt’ Provokes Giffords Photo Leak

Mark Kelly’s campaign against “assault weapons” such as the AR-15 rifle has sparked a local backlash. On March 13, a Tucson, Arizona radio host published a photograph of former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords holding an AR-15 rifle at a gun range. Giffords has since confirmed that the photograph is authentic

Giffords

What is wrong with this picture? Absolutely nothing, and prior to the aggressive progressive opportunistic fear mongering in the wake of Sandy Hook, this picture would have raised no eyebrows and garnered little public attention.

However, in response to the exploitative political scheming of Mark Kelly, persons connected to Congresswoman Giffords released this photo in response to what they perceived to be her husband’s hypocrisy.

Photo of Obama Shooting Skeet Complete Fraud, like his Presidency

A Complete Fraud, like his Presidency 

The recently released photograph of President Obama reportedly “Taken at Camp David – the Maryland presidential retreat – on August 4, 2012, his 51st birthday,” is a complete fake.

As a lifelong shotgunner, I immediately smelled a rat.  Nothing in the photo looks right and upon closer examination, it is a complete fraud.

03skeet_image2-articleLarge

One need go no further than examining the ports on the shotgun.  Ports are tiny holes sometimes drilled near the muzzle (the business end of the gun) to release energy and reduce recoil.  They serve as a pressure release valve of sorts.  One will immediately notice that there is smoke coming from the right side of the gun in the photo as well as out the front.  The only problem is that there is no smoke coming from the ports on the left side of the gun, clearly seen in the photo suggesting that the smoke was doctored into the photo.  Furthermore, the smoke exiting on the right side of the gun does not match the port pattern on the left.  If this gun was being fired as suggested by the White House, then the smoke would be coming out the ports on the gun clearly seen in the picture and evenly on both sides.

To add insult to injury, the smoke pictured is not clearly defined and appears to be moved by wind.  At this stage in the firing process, this phenomenon would be nearly impossible.  The smoke should look like it is being rapidly forced out small holes instead of something wafting from a chimney.

A photo taken at this stage of the firing process would also reveal the forces of recoil upon the shooter.  There would be a wave of energy passing through the firearm into the shooter’s body and evidence would exist somewhere in this photo that this phenomenon was happening.  This would appear like a slow motion picture of a boxer receiving a knockout blow.  The shooter’s body would give some evidence of reacting to the recoil, especially someone not wearing heavy clothing as in the picture.

One need go no further than the port evidence to prove fraud, but further evidence shows that the President was not shooting “Skeet.”  Skeet is a specific shooting game involving a skeet field with distinct shooting houses.  If he were shooting skeet, there would be a skeet house over the shooter’ shoulder from this camera angle.  There is none.  Additionally, his barrel is almost horizontal and that would not be consistent with someone shooting skeet.  At a minimum, it would be elevated at around a forty-five degree angle to almost vertical.  One could give the President a break and acknowledge that he probably doesn’t know the difference between skeet, trap, and sporting clays, but someone who recently stated, “Up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time,” should then know the difference.

Further evidence would suggest that the smoke in the photo is somewhat heavy and is more consistent with the kind of smoke coming from a blackpowder gun, not a modern shotgun. Without a doubt, this photo has been doctored for whatever nefarious reason.  It appears as though the shooter was merely holding a gun with the smoke being added in later.

This begs a simple question.  Why would the President of the United States go to such efforts to lie to the American people about something as simple as shooting a shotgun?  Makes one wonder what other lies he has been telling us. President Obama you’re a complete fraud and this picture proves it.   

 

 

 

Facebook Covers for Obama on Benghazi, Suspends SEALs Page

via politicaloutcast.com

Add Facebook to the cadre of media that are helping President Obama cover up his responsibility for the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya.

The Special Operations Speaks PAC last week posted an image comparing SEALs’ loyalty when Obama needed them to how two SEALs were ignored by the White House during the firefight at the U.S. mission on September 11. The meme was shared by more than 30,000 and seen by hundreds of thousands of people.

Over the weekend, Facebook apparently panicked, pulled the image and gave SOS a warning that it was in violation of Facebook policy.

Larry Ward, president of Political Media Inc., which maintains the SEALs page, told Breitbart that he copied the Facebook warning and reposted the original image with the warning as a caption.

As a result, Facebook suspended SOS for 24 hours.

And yes, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is said to be an Obama supporter.
