@drakkar classi c paranoid schizophrenia, made more scary by the fact you want to aquire a gun!

@Drakkar....would you please explain your third paragraph? I'm interested in what you're saying here but I'm not quite sure just what that is. What specific type of firearm? How do you buy legally without paperwork? Why recommend selling? For income??

Everybody with technical knowledge of network/computer technology and interest in current and past events knows that surveillance on the internet was always endorsed. This dates back to the days of telephone networks and people getting silenced/murdered for trying to introduce strong encryption to make it very complicated for law enforcement/intellig ence to decipher it. E-Mail, which is practically plaintext, can be monitored without effort, because nearly nobody encrypts them. (Strong) encryption is classified as a dual-use weapon (like fertilizer) and governments tried very hard to restrict it. They lost, but found a way around it by installing spyware on computers and internet service providers to monitor everything. They don't care about rulings by constitutional courts and do it even without legal basis. Somebody can even place nasty things on one's hard disk to take somebody out.

It should go without saying that the reason the internet has not been shut down or strongly regulated by the government is because governments have found a way to work it to their advantage. Actions speak louder than words.   Some of us were already targeted before the internet. I am ex-military, he ld a high level security clearance, and have bought and sold many firearms over the years. It is assumed that I could fight and train resistance and supply several people with arms. I am definitely on a roundup list, well over a million of us are, and my  profile is well known due to the security clearance background check.   Assa nge and Stallman are fighting back in the way they know, but Stallman stated that fighting battles of real physical force are also necessary. One way is to buy specific type firearms while you can, then sell them for cash to those you can reasonably be assured of knowing what it is for and will keep a reasonable supply of ammo on hand. It removes them from the immediate roundup list if they avoid agency paperwork and buy ammo properly. Teach them: NEVER SIGN PAPER or its equivalent. You should favor young males who seem to have their heads screwed on straight and in reasonably good health, which is a minority of the population these days. Females can do this selling just as well as males. Are you listening, grandma/grandpa? You need not be a "gun nut" to do this. When they come to get you, it will not affect the physical defense very much, and buys them time. I am old; the young will carry on the fight.   The population is under attack from many directions. Corporate food and corporate medicine are making our bodies sick, just as corporate media, corporate religion  and corporate education makes our minds sick. The shooting of bullets hasn't quite started yet (here), but the above mentioned businesses (and more) of the Global Power Elite are attacking us in full force so as to render a physical defense useless. The war is on now, whether you believe it or not. A lull in shooting does not mean the other means of assault are taking a rest. Educate those who can listen. The rest are a waste of time and a danger to you.

Question answered: "­The pieces of software created by surveillance companies are capable of hijacking personal computers and popular mobile phones, including those with Android, iOS, and Blackberry operating systems."   & nbsp;

What about Android phones?  

Begin with the simple truth.  A government is not a people.

Peopl e do not need governments.  Governments are the people.

Why humans continue to do the same old practices is the problem.

A solution would be to have the masses think about the whole situation as a deep believer in freedom.

The mind is never other than free, other than deciding in the not free idea and giving a government the imagination of what brings the freedom to mind.

Who has a credit card? Who trust religious institutions? Who pays taxes? Well you all screwed

Russia isn't that different. They have SORM and SORM-2 since 1998/2000.

sad, sad, souls, government and their paid bull dogs obviously have nothing better to do with their lifes, why work for us "who pay their wages" when they can't get away with taking our money and give nothing in exchange
Roger, you are spot on mate! 

I am old enough to know that ONLY Fools and the Uneducated believe we are truly free. &n bsp; We have TOKEN freedom granted to us by the Establishment and maintained by keeping us divided, poor and uneducated

This is nothing new. The CIA does this every day and has been since smart phones came out. I really dont care because they have no reason to come get me, and if they do come get me you will know its because I try to open the peoples eyes. 

What can we [world communities] do?   How can we [world communities] protect our information in this information era?   Is there any way to save our information?
