In a rare public statement yesterday, Edward Snowden called for support for an October 26 rally against illegal NSA surveillance. He stated,

"In the last four months, we've learned a lot about our government. We've learned that the U.S. intelligence community secretly built a system of pervasive surveillance. Today, no telephone in America makes a call without leaving a record with the NSA. Today, no Internet transaction enters or leaves America without passing through the NSA's hands. Our representatives in Congress tell us this is not surveillance. They're wrong.
"Now, it's time for the government to learn from us. On Saturday, the ACLU, EFF, and the rest of the StopWatching.Us coalition are going to D.C. Join us in sending the message: Stop Watching Us."
The rally will gather at Washington's Union Station at 11:30 for a noon march to the National Mall. The coalition includes Detroit's liberal Democratic Congressman John Conyers, along with conservative Michigan Republican Rep. Justin Amash, the pair who together almost shut down illegal NSA bugging earlier this year, along with numerous public-interest groups and even some corporations.

Folks - you need to get yourselves this little piece of software I just discovered - even if only for a 'bit of fun'.

It's a plugin for the Firefox web browser that lets you see all the information it's broadcasting to 3rd parties about your browsing habits. Basically, what happens when you browse is this:

[1] - you visit a site (like, say Walmart, Infowars, retail sites, news sites)

[2] - that web site sends a little "cookie" to your browser that gets cached

[3] - for the remainder of your session the cookie "broadcasts" back to it's parent every page you visit subsequent to you visiting theirs

I tried it on just a couple of the sites I regularly visit - I got my mind immediately blown. The little plugin shows you all the broadcasts your browser's making and to whom.

Even some conspiracy sites are doing it !!

Quite amazing insight - it's called "lightbeam" plugin for Firefox. Here's the link: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/lightbeam/

What to do:

[1] - download lightbeam (the actual plugin file is called 'collusion')

[2] - open Firefox (you need to download nearly the latest version) and go to the "TOOLS" menu and choose "Add-ons"

[3] - from the little pop-up configuration menu (the button with the cogwheel next to the search bar), choose "Install Add-on from File..." and locate the 'collusion-1.0.2-fx.xpi' plugin you downloaded at step [1]

To Use:

[1] - from the "TOOLS" menu, choose 'Show Lightbeam"

[2] - that will open a new window with the lighbeam monitor

[3] - do some browsing

[4] - go back to the lightbeam window and hover your mouse over the little dots that emanate from the semi-circle. That will show you who's monitoring your browsing

[5] - pick your jaw back up off the floor :)

Happy counter-espionage !!!

Pete

P.S. I'm on Mac so the menu names and locations might be a bit different on Windows, but you'll get the idea.

Seems like there is some real momentum with resistance building up to the peeping toms

Feel like it's a Que for my song and video on this very subject

Hey Watch out!
'cause it's the Evil Vulture
of reality culture
He's watching you
He's watching you

He wants to strip you naked
Wants to strip you bare
what happens next
He don't care
