Until Wednesday morning, you'd probably never heard of something called "XKeyscore," a program that the National Security Agency itself describes as its "widest reaching" means of gathering data from across the Internet.

David Brown, who co-authored the recent book "Deep State: Inside the Government Secrecy Industry" under the pseudonym D.B.

If Bush did one-tenth of what this moron is doing the MSM then would have had conniptions.
Provided, of course, you don’t use Tor, an offshore commercial VPN, or a free wireless connection.
He did and they did.
Could one of you computer whizzes explain this in terms of FR? Does this program sweep in the titles or content of the articles we read on this site?
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I dont add you to the list...
Anyone familiar with TOR or Albine for privacy? I’m looking for a good program and haven’t a clue.
Maxine Waters was right.

Tor still exposes your browsing targets to your provider if your are not diligent. TAILS on a bootable USB stick uses Tor and also ensures everything is SSL on both ends. TAILS on open wireless is best.

I wonder how many RINOs have pacemakers or insulin pumps?
In terms of FR? If you’re here, you’re probably on a death list.
Our techie has TOR on his laptop but it’s slow accdg to him. My advice? Buy a VPN using bitcoin as once u pay by CC, “they” will be able to read the PW once the emailed receipt comes in. And change your IP address once you do all these stuff..
We all are.
If my number’s up at least I’ll go out informed (And among friends.)
You mean DNS lookups? I believe there is a way around that with TOR. Many people don’t use their ISP’s DNS anyway. You could build your own DNS caching server if you wanted to.
Thank you! New tagline. Did John Adams know Barack Obambi or WHAT???????!!!!!
