Latest News: WSJ leaving Wall St. for uptown digs …Blogged about at All your Internets are belong to ATT & the NSA – scholars and rogues, The Wall Street Journal miles away from Wall Street&6; Covering sports&6; Yes, the paper that has chronicle…

There are ways to get around them snooping your content, but most of those require some technical savvy… which means only the savvy folks will be safe for the short term. Then they will outlaw those means too (commercial PGP programs must provide the government with a back door which totally destroys the premise of PGP). They will start arresting people simply for using knowledge that they can’t hack simply because they presume you must be doing something illegal or you’d not be trying to hide it.

Until the fascists in charge (and running for office) are stopped by the people, we’re doomed to a totalitarian government and virtually no rights to anything other than access to Corporate venues. Won’t that be fun? You can use the internet so long as you’re making someone else money, otherwise.. fuckoff.

Additionally, you should avoid ATT products and services and telnet to switches outside the US until the EU comes up with their own version of root service and can bypass these anticompetitive activities. My guess is China and the EU won’t be wanting their message traffic violated by American networks.

Come to think of it, this most likely violates privacy laws in most of Europe. They should simply ban American routing into and out of their networks until these fascists are out of office.

So, once sites like this are either outlawed or so constrained as to be pointless, and since phone calls and emails are already being monitored now, and the right wing owns most of the airwaves and paper media – what’s left to get the message out? Distribute pamphlets on street corners? Or is that already illegal?

Call Mr. Lee, tell him the flow is broken.

Mike McConnell wants greater government surveillance of the Internet. AT&T wants to use its technology to police the Internet for illegal content. It’s a match made in hell….
