Bonus reading: for the curious, The Ken Thompson Hack is probably not as far fetched as you might think, especially in modern computing where no single person really knows the entire relationship between any line of code and the actual transistors that flicker on and off.
So when we received this subpoena from the United States Attorney’s Office in the Central District of California, it felt like 2016 all over again.
If only we could find some commonality between early 2016, when this last occurred, and now. If only we could find a reason why the TLAs were reigned in, if only slightly, from chasing down political enemies during the years between.
Perhaps one day, when the whole things collapses, we'll find out similar to how some of the old KGB records during the Cold War were released after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Whether any of us will be alive to see it is an open question.
This is what the patriot act lead to, it’s not just a tool to catch bad guys. They want complete surveillance, free speech under the lens of their microscope. This is a method of control not protection.
NEVER access ANY political site without a free vpn or proxy.
NEVER tell people online who you actually are. You are only feeding the ''spy on you'' monster.
No matter WHAT the FUCK you THOUGHT, ''I'll access the internet without some kind of proxy/vpn'' is gonna be one of the worst ideas YOU ever HAVE.
Even free VPN add ons are good enough to watch some news and read and make comments.
In no particular order, things you need to know are:
All four Opera VPN/proxy hybrids are free.
What's more, Opera GX and Opera Developer can download the iNinja Proxy which is a fantastic fucking free proxy. More bandwidth.
Also there's something called epic security browser which is what Brave, and all these other fake security browsers are trying to claim they are. The built-in proxy is ALWAYS on and the free VPN is manual turn-on.
It's very mechanical and slow to use but because it's all manual, and it only allows you to put on THEIR ad block and THEIR proxy/VPN combo, it's VERY fast and also
it's put together very slick in that it doesn't break websites you really need to go to.
Also there's a free Chrome store vpn called ''Touch VPN.'' This is a fantastic addition to a Chromium based browser because it's got settings to turn on and have it obfuscate all the different types of browser/computer fingerprinting algorithms.
There is also a computer traffic-wide hybrid VPN/Proxy called ''Psiphon.''
It is a real vpn, it was invented to help Chy-Com dissidents contact the outer world, and they use it over there, tonight, to get themselves secure.
I have firefox, opera, torch, opera developer, opera GX and Opera Beta. I also have epic privacy browser and on Microsoft Edge, I have Touch VPN add on.
This is 8 different cloaked browsers.
Each one of these browsers also has a ''erase cookies'' add-on in case Communist Bolshevic bitches somewhere, decide to ban my account.
Most all the places I go, if I really like being there, I start three, four, five accounds, so I can have my free speech to go along with my radar proof interplanetary instrument probes age.
There is also something called 'WebRTC'' and that RTC stands for ''Real-Time Communications and it's not really designed to trap you it's designed to make video, audio, this stuff, get from computer to computer as swiftly as possible and it's a protocol
that - in the packet headers
you REAL un-cloaked IP address is STAMPED on EVERY packet header.
So you NEED to understand how to CHECK ALL THE COMPONENTS of FINGERPRINTING your BROWSER because WebRTC transmits your REAL uncloacked address UNLESS YOU GET A DOWNLOAD to OBFUSCATE THIS FOR YOU.
That is all.
Good luck to you all.
Do not get popped because you think there's no way you can be safe for free.
ALL the OPERA browsers, and ALL browsers covered with an iNinja OR TouchVPN add-on, can be made to START when the BROWSER starts and this is important.
Anyway, that's my story and I'm kinda half-ass sticking to it.
It's hilarious how so few years ago the govt was specifically recommending use of encryption and such. not any more..
Gotta get them domestic terrorists.
No not the ones rioting, looting and burning down buildings in real life. The ones posting memes on the Internet.
THOUGHT CRIME IS THE REAL ENEMY!

Government recommendation for encryption was two fold:
Stimulate ecommerce
Push encryption for which they had backdoors.
_NSAKEY anyone? "Helpfully" provided S-box structures?

Sadly, we’ll probably never know.
Perhaps one day, when the whole things collapses, we'll find out similar to how some of the old KGB records during the Cold War were released after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Once again, government is wanting your private information. All that information is on the suspects' phones if they haven't purged it from the memory.
This is what the patriot act lead to, it’s not just a tool to catch bad guys. They want complete surveillance, free speech under the lens of their microscope. This is a method of control not protection.
