SECRET TRIBUNAL TO
DISCUSS nSA RIGHT TO 'OPT OUT' OF CONSTITUTION

Proposed FISA legislation violates constitution and tells its outcome before the debate on its legality begins. How you can protect your data, not because you have something to hide, but because the constitution mandates it and Americans are breaking the law by giving away their personal information.
How many times in the last year have we heard the tirades about sensitive government programs being released endangering US citizens and why other government spyware must remain undisclosed? Why hasn't there been any follow-up on how the programs that were disclosed couldve, even only hypothetically, endangered americans?
The proposed legislation of the the requirement to gain approval from FISA, decides before it begins that its exempt from checks and balances and won't make concessions by making the outcome a secret.
The NSA wiretapping program has already caused them to fall far behind in the translating and deciphering the data theyve stolen that anything they find pertinent to their purported purpose is propably outdated and terrorists have a much easier chance of slipping through the cracks, like a brute force virus attack. Thank god for spam for providing our checks and balances.
This makes it highly doubtful they are using it for what they claim. As their claims of the programs scope are shown to be lies, they can't guarantee this data is kept internally and not shared or finding its way into corporate/federal databanks. In the book no place to hide, by Robert O' Harrow, we can see the actual purpose of the program and their pitifully devious plan becomes obvious. The new proposal to propose nothing violates federal law (pdf) and is an admission of guilt from any senator who turns a blind eye.
Already, they are using AT&T to syphon your outgoing data. But, this not being enough, AT&T is trolling the net and entering private networks to get it. Now, by claiming they own your info and you have no right to it, the merger is finalized.
Good thing there are hackers keeping us on our toes otherwise antispyware and file encryption might very well be made illegal. Soon, they will argue that protection against outgoing data is a violation of DRM. Then they have your data and its theirs to sell, study and trade like poke' men.
How do I stop violating the law, you ask? First, incorporate encryption into the fiber of your digital being. This will put you ahead of %95 of net users. Next, get a firewall that can block incoming and outgoing connections and determine what programs can access the internet and block the programs and IP addresses that don't comply with your privacy policy. 'Opt out' when you sign up for any new account. Call your existing banks, phone companies and find out their information sharing policies and opt out(even if they claim you don't need to or that they only share it with 'partners' or internally). If they have no opt out policy and dont avidly guard you info, cancel your account, because you are the one responsible when its stolen from them. The jury is still out on VOIP encryption but for now, its better then analogue and compatible with old phones. plus you get long distance and even international calling. The price for this wealth of freedom and security? Its Free, dummy.
