1. keep on keepin' on, brother-man... i know i do not respond to your posts because i mostly agree with them, i'm sure that is the case with others as well... the war on dee-rugs IS a prime example of both how the sheeple can be manipulated to hysteria over ANYTHING, and how controlling 'our' (sic) velvet police state has become... the horrors are all so normal, nobody raises an eyebrow...
2. in spite of my CERTAIN KNOWLEDGE that the system is broken, i still did my part and called both dodd and reid to express my thanks and disgust respectfully... (so to speak)
maybe reid heard the dread revolutionary and armchair anarchist art guerrilla was looking for him...
hee hee hee
3. a previous post got lost in the aether, but i made several points: A. (as another poster pointed out) 'encryption' is NOT as secure as you might thing; besides possibly being cracked, many of them are subject to brute force attacks which have gotten both more sophisticated, as well as hardware jiggerpokery providing a semi-practical method that doesn't take forever and a day to run through all the combos... B. IF The Man (tm) IS after you and brings all their technology and techniques to bear on you, you ARE screwed, period... a quick sneak-and-peek, maybe squirt your harddrive onto a flashdrive and/or put a keystroke logger on your ass such that ALL your passwords, all your keys, everything becomes their bitch... C. forget about encryption, if you want to screw with The Man (tm) sucking up emails, then append 'trigger' words (dirtee bomb, etc) to your emails such that EVERYTHING becomes selected by their filters, then when the filters don't filter, it renders the output useless...
