I am drafting a letter to this Congress woman because I thought she asked excellent questions at the Intelligence Committee hearing today, so she shares my concerns with some issues, where I may be able to help answer some questions she had, that NSA FBI DOJ etc. were unable to satisfactorily answer.

I just uploaded  version 0.4 of my research notes into latest leaks about US phone & Internet surveillance.  Since previous version, the most significant & informative upgrades and additions, to these notes, have been, see:
Conclusions chapter begun.
Cross-Indexing Navigation = where a major topic is mentioned in different chapters, I now have a chapter, just for that topic, which lists other places where it is referenced.
Cryptome relevant links
EU Parliament discussion of NSA spying on EU citizens
Lawfare – unless I dream up major restructuring of my notes, it may be time to go to heading level FOUR.
Links to a mountain of articles have been inserted, but so far I have only read a fraction of them.  I seek to aggregate what’s available, then pursue as time permits.  I am seeing multiple references to some articles, trying to avoid duplication, but that may beunavoid... more »

I just uploaded my 3rd revision of these notes.  Since yesterday early evening,, the most significant & informative upgrades and additions, to these notes, have been, see:
In Q+A see
a few Digital Hiding tips.
Declassified Surveillance cases started … more are expected next week, but a couple have previously been declassified
In sources and citations section:
ACLU
FAS
I have doubled Media sources, split them into British vs. USA, also added additional links for some of the media.
For the tech sites allegedly having their data sucked into Prism, I added what personal info is probably there.
While I continue to add chapters which so far do not have much there, I have also been adding a lot to such chapters previously created.

In 1 day, I have tripled the volume of major source citations, links to critical info about NSA domestic US surveillance, and overall increased content by 50%, so I am sharing this revised edition, V 0.2.  I continue to have lots of info I still need to check out & add to my notes.

I shared my notes, so far, on what we know about US domestic surveillance of America, thanks to leaks from Mr. Ed Snowden, who is currently in Hong Kong.  I include a number of implications and nuances, where I have some concerns regarding what we are being told, especially in the area of denials.

Just as every humanitarian disaster is categorized as the worst ever, every leak is categorized as the worst ever.  In my opinion, the worst leak was when a Congressional staffer, who has not been punished, revealed to the world that the CIA was listening in on bin laden phone calls, so alQ stopped using cell phones.

Santa Monica 2013 Jun 7 Shooting Time Line reconstructed from multiple sources.  There may be some inaccuracies due to uncertainties in this developing story.
 
The perpetrator, now identified as John Zawahri:
June-7 was the day before his 24th birthday.
He had recently been released from a mental institution, to which he had been sent after he talked about harming people.
He was involved in a fire at his 2036 Yorkshire Avenue family home, where his father and brother died.  The police responded to “shots fired” 11.52 am call Pacific Time, found the home on fire, called the fire dept.   Police now believe the house was set on fire, before the two family members were shot.
He allegedly car jacked two vehicles.
The first was a Mazda hatchback.  He held the woman driver hostage at gun point. He forced her to drive him toward the Santa Monica Collegecampus, w... more »

I consider it huge news that the highly unpopular UN army of occupation is leaving Haiti in a year.  Of course if there is another major hurricane in Haiti between now and then, it will be an excuse to continue for more decades.  The emergency housing by the world’s international NGOs in response to each disaster, are deliberately unable to withstand the next disaster.

The US is no longer interested in Iraq.  The military adventure there with thousands of US lives lost is over.  The US tried to help rebuild the nation, and now China gets the benefit.  Meanwhile the Syrian Civil War is spilling over into many neighbor territories, and the US is fighting on both sides of it.

The FBI wants universal surveillance.  We know from political and technology history that this will change our nation to a permanent mafia like the Russian and Italian mafia, because they will also share in this universal knowledge of what anyone does.

The US Director of National Intelligence (DNI) responds to major recent LEAKS.
The story about VERIZON exploding to many other phone companies mega data.
The story about this not just phone records, but also a spectrum of INTERNET activities
Combined with other previous surveillance stories.
He tries to explain non-secret current provisions of the laws protect innocent Americans, but we have seen with administration saying one thing on drones, doing another, then excusing the other under the guise of that being secret.  Then there is the whole IRS thing.  I disagree with those conservative viewpoints, but that does not justify turning their financial lives upside down, sending in the ATF OSHA etc. to do bogus inspections of their facilities.  We all know there are laws, and there are authorities with the power to abuse their authority.

How do you feel about the government trying to monitor the internet?  Do you have the opinion that "if you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about" or do you believe that all your information should be kept private?
