An operation to troll the NSA has started up online in a bid to jam the spy scanners. The plan is to 'test' the system by sending a message full of terrorist buzz words to the agency Wednesday at 7pm EST. The website was set up in response to the accusations at the U.S. government is collecting and looking at data from Internet companies like Google, Facebook and Apple through a secretive program codenamed PRISM.

Just goes to show that all the technology in the world won’t help you if you let yourself be blinkered and hobbled by political correctness.

I don't know if it would be possible to jam the NSA's capacity.

From the online description of the Utah facility.
The storage capacity of the Utah Data Center will be measured in "zettabytes". What exactly is a zettabyte? There are a thousand gigabytes in a terabyte; a thousand terabytes in a petabyte; a thousand petabytes in an exabyte; and a thousand exabytes in a zettabyte. Some of our employees like to refer to them as "alottabytes".

May be a little difficult when the organization has computers that easily and flawlessly handle mega-giga-ultra-super-teraflops with effortless aplomb.

Maybe if the entire PLANET wrote in emails all at once....

I’ve heard they have a regiment of repairmen who’ve developed tools captured from the saucer discovered in Roswell, and it takes all of a minute and a half to repair ANY breakdown. ;-)

In addition to "track me not," check out Ghostery.

I have been amazed at the number of trackers some web sites use. FR uses just one, Google Analytics, to track visitors and where they come from.

I clicked on a Fox New page yesterday and Ghostery said it was blocking 17 trackers in that page. Wow.

Better key words to flag their attention are :

‘Tea party’

‘Patriot’

‘constitution’

‘freedom’

‘liberty’

‘framers’

‘2nd amendment’

Any of these should alert the red code alert.

Check the skyhook spanner carefully - it may be a knockoff.

Ask your liberal/progressive friends if they REALLY think thier reputation will survive what’s coming? Inuendo being as salacious as it is how hard and fast might you fall. Who will you complain to when your trendy friends at the coffee shop shun you? Who will you complain to when you find yourself or your kid at the bottom of the Obamacare waiting list. Me? I’ll knodd sympathetically, that’s all I got for you.
