Of course the government was spying on everyone since before 9/11. This whole terrorist boogeyman show has happened before, except they were called communists then, and the time was the red scare. Only thing that has changed is that it is much easier for the government to spy on and track the population now since they all seem to be carrying smartphones.

Quit carrying smartphone except for business. Quit carrying ID...this is legal here, unless I am driving or going to a bar. Started using cash/btc for everything. Emailed myself a list of the flagged gov terms. *Use TOR and Tails to visit certain websites that the men in funny hats might not approve of, and to talk about certain things that they might not approve of.

Wonder if I'll get raided by government thugs...

It is curious that there was not on-demand admin access to any windows/mac os install among the docs that Snowden leaked, maybe Greenwald is saving that for another couple weeks.

Oh and for kicks here's something for the NSA bots to chew through, "Assassination, Attack, Domestic Security, Drill, Exercise, Cops, Law Enforcement Authorities, Hazmat, Nuclear, Los Zetas, Snowden, gPGP, DDOS, Hamas, Bulgaria, Jericho, Chemical spill, Cloud, Bacteria, H5N1, 32D3, F2H3, Toxic, Government, Tyrant, Roman empire, Bread and circuses, Avian, CKIR, Subway, Snowcrash, Moon landings, Area 51, Government, Idiots, Orwell, Gas Mask, Hurcles, Windows backdoor, UNIX, Hackers."

I was reading about Jehrico and Bulgaria on Wikipedia right before I posted this. Probably should have put the 'Samson Option' in there too, just to cover all the bases. And the other flu virii strains are keyboard-punching.
