NSA collects millions of email addresses globally - How To Protect Yourself?

I use bit.ly with a lot of my links only to see what people like. Bit.ly does have the advantage of passing the post title with the link.

ROFL -- holy cyrap that is funny! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha haha.

Bad marketing strategy. People have been posing as the FBI, NSA and others in scams so now anyone sees anything addressed from these agencies and they just delete it or filter it out. They better have something more special in the works than advertising sales. :rolleyes:

I agree though - get whatever privacy you can and fight for the rest. If what I'm doing that they don't like isn't blatant or violent enough that it causes attention outside of my own home, it's really none of their f***ing business what I'm doing. I don't think anyone ever took the tinfoil issue seriously but as long as they have drones - we maybe in need of drone confusing techniques, ya think?

IMMEDIATE ATTENTION NEEDED
: HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL


FROM: GEORGE WALKER BUSH
DEAR SIR / MADAM,


I AM GEORGE WALKER BUSH, SON OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH, AND CURRENTLY SERVING AS PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THIS LETTER MIGHT SURPRISE YOU BECAUSE WE HAVE
NOT MET NEITHER IN PERSON NOR BY CORRESPONDENCE. I CAME TO KNOW OF YOU IN MY
SEARCH FOR A RELIABLE AND REPUTABLE PERSON TO HANDLE A VERY CONFIDENTIAL
BUSINESS TRANSACTION, WHICH INVOLVES THE TRANSFER OF A HUGE SUM OF MONEY TO
AN ACCOUNT REQUIRING MAXIMUM CONFIDENCE.


I AM WRITING YOU IN ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE PRIMARILY TO SEEK YOUR ASSISTANCE IN
ACQUIRING OIL FUNDS THAT ARE PRESENTLY TRAPPED IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ. MY
PARTNERS AND I SOLICIT YOUR ASSISTANCE IN COMPLETING A TRANSACTION BEGUN BY
MY FATHER, WHO HAS LONG BEEN ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN THE EXTRACTION OF PETROLEUM
IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND BRAVELY SERVED HIS COUNTRY AS DIRECTOR
OF THE UNITED STATES CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY.


IN THE DECADE OF THE NINETEEN-EIGHTIES, MY FATHER, THEN VICE-PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SOUGHT TO WORK WITH THE GOOD OFFICES OF THE
PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ TO REGAIN LOST OIL REVENUE SOURCES IN THE
NEIGHBORING ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN. THIS UNSUCCESSFUL VENTURE WAS SOON
FOLLOWED BY A FALLING OUT WITH HIS IRAQI PARTNER, WHO SOUGHT TO ACQUIRE
ADDITIONAL OIL REVENUE SOURCES IN THE NEIGHBORING EMIRATE OF KUWAIT, A
WHOLLY-OWNED U.S.-BRITISH SUBSIDIARY.


MY FATHER RE-SECURED THE PETROLEUM ASSETS OF KUWAIT IN 1991 AT A COST OF
SIXTY-ONE BILLION U.S. DOLLARS ($61,000,000,000). OUT OF THAT COST,
THIRTY-SIX BILLION DOLLARS ($36,000,000,000) WERE SUPPLIED BY HIS PARTNERS
IN THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA AND OTHER PERSIAN GULF MONARCHIES, AND
SIXTEEN BILLION DOLLARS ($16,000,000,000) BY GERMAN AND JAPANESE PARTNERS.
BUT MY FATHER'S FORMER IRAQI BUSINESS PARTNER REMAINED IN CONTROL OF THE
REPUBLIC OF IRAQ AND ITS PETROLEUM RESERVES.


MY FAMILY IS CALLING FOR YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE IN FUNDING THE REMOVAL OF
THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF IRAQ AND ACQUIRING THE PETROLEUM ASSETS OF
HIS COUNTRY, AS COMPENSATION FOR THE COSTS OF REMOVING HIM FROM POWER.
UNFORTUNATELY, OUR PARTNERS FROM 1991 ARE NOT WILLING TO SHOULDER THE BURDEN
OF THIS NEW VENTURE, WHICH IN ITS UPCOMING PHASE MAY COST THE SUM OF 100
BILLION TO 200 BILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000,000 - $200,000,000,000), BOTH
IN THE INITIAL ACQUISITION AND IN LONG-TERM MANAGEMENT.


WITHOUT THE FUNDS FROM OUR 1991 PARTNERS, WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE
THE OIL REVENUE TRAPPED WITHIN IRAQ. THAT IS WHY MY FAMILY AND OUR
COLLEAGUES ARE URGENTLY SEEKING YOUR GRACIOUS ASSISTANCE. OUR DISTINGUISHED
COLLEAGUES IN THIS BUSINESS TRANSACTION INCLUDE THE SITTING VICE-PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, RICHARD CHENEY, WHO IS AN ORIGINAL PARTNER
IN THE IRAQ VENTURE AND FORMER HEAD OF THE HALLIBURTON OIL COMPANY, AND
CONDOLEEZA RICE, WHOSE PROFESSIONAL DEDICATION TO THE VENTURE WAS
DEMONSTRATED IN THE NAMING OF A CHEVRON OIL TANKER AFTER HER.


I WOULD BESEECH YOU TO TRANSFER A SUM EQUALING TEN TO TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT
(10-25 %) OF YOUR YEARLY INCOME TO OUR ACCOUNT TO AID IN THIS IMPORTANT
VENTURE. THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL
FUNCTION AS OUR TRUSTED INTERMEDIARY. I PROPOSE THAT YOU MAKE THIS TRANSFER
BEFORE THE FIFTEENTH (15TH) OF THE MONTH OF APRIL.


I KNOW THAT A TRANSACTION OF THIS MAGNITUDE WOULD MAKE ANYONE APPREHENSIVE
AND WORRIED. BUT I AM ASSURING YOU THAT ALL WILL BE WELL AT THE END OF THE
DAY. A BOLD STEP TAKEN SHALL NOT BE REGRETTED, I ASSURE YOU. PLEASE DO BE
INFORMED THAT THIS BUSINESS TRANSACTION IS 100% LEGAL. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO
CO-OPERATE IN THIS TRANSACTION, PLEASE CONTACT OUR INTERMEDIARY
REPRESENTATIVES TO FURTHER DISCUSS THE MATTER.


I PRAY THAT YOU UNDERSTAND OUR PLIGHT. MY FAMILY AND OUR COLLEAGUES WILL BE
FOREVER GRATEFUL. PLEASE REPLY IN STRICT CONFIDENCE TO THE CONTACT NUMBERS
BELOW.


SINCERELY WITH WARM REGARDS,


GEORGE WALKER BUSH

In Africa there are swarms of ants that can eat anything in their paths, much like schools of piranhas are able to strip whole cows down to the bone in a matter of minutes.

This attitude burns me up. We have a RIGHT to not be watched. I don't LIKE to be watched and it doesn't matter WHAT I'm doing. Taking a bath or using the toilet is not wrong.......how excited to you get knowing that you can and might be watched doing so. Allowing government to intrude where they have no business being also gives them more leeway to take a lot of other powers that it's really not a good idea for them to have.

I've been watching the NSA problem - it's one I knew was going to come sooner or later after the research I did inside the US West AT strategic marketing library. I was freaked back then at what they were doing - and it was light compared to now.

Now - a 4 or 5 billion dollar data center that collects every bit of your info, including the little things people seem to fail to realize the danger of gov having. From this, they then take it and build a profile of your life.........and the completeness of this profile would probably be enough to start making the "oh, I'm not doing anything wrong" crowd's blood run cold. These profiles are being built not on just people who are possible threats -- EVERYONE is getting one.

Now class - who can tell me why this is so very dangerous?
Start with what happens when the rule of law breaks down.........which it is in the process of doing right now.
What happens if we dip into a period of genocide as around 10 (at least) countries have experienced in the last century? Don't smirk - you are NOT special - go read the bills and executive orders signed in the last 3 years and it will wipe that smirk right off your face.

What happens when you did something that was okay once, but is illegal now - and they use it against you in court (revert to go read bills in the house now, and those signed in the last......one year for this one). What happens when you meet someone and communicate back and forth without really knowing the person well and they turn out to be a "terrorist" and you are implicated because you did business with them?

These questions are not motivated by conspiracy theory -- they are generated straight from history and what is going on in our legislation and Judiciary right NOW. So keep up.

Anyone who thinks that invasion of privacy is no real big deal just because they aren't doing anything wrong has the same mindset that the "useful idiots" have when tyrannical governments are able to take over their country. Our forefathers put restraints on gov for one reason - - YOUR safety. If you don't understand the principles, you need a little bit of study and a little more awareness of what is being done in legislation right now.

Don't know what part of the world you are from, but in the good ol' USA here...

That ain't so.

Try running that one by a friend of mine who is Indian (Native American). He grew up on a reservation. He can tell you what that was like. The Indian people in his great grandfather's time, the ones who survived the mass killing, forced marches and starvation conducted by the government, were forced at gunpoint onto tracts of land called reservations.

I know for a fact that neither he nor his family trust the government. I wonder why?

Maybe you could sell it to a couple of my buddies, who happen to be black. They were around in the 50's and the 60's. They experienced firsthand what an overbearing, jack-booted, out- of-control government can do to your "rights" and "freedom" while "enforcing the law".

They have stories that would break your heart. And, I guarantee, they haven't forgotten And yes, it really did happen, right here in the good ol' US of A, where you got nothing to worry about... .

I learned some things from my friends. I'm also a student of history. You know what they
say: "Those who will not learn from history, are doomed to repeat it."
