Time to turn the tools on these traitors.
You also re-watched Enemy of the state (1998) last night?
I downloaded it (For the NSA, that means I torrented it from thepiratebay, just so we are clear)
And I have been watching it... One of the best documentaries I have seen in a while...
Great, let's start doing something about it instead of complaining. Here's my cynical take on a back of the napkin recipe for political change: 1. Call, write, tweet, and facebook your representatives, both local and federal, and tell them what you think- be sure to inflate your credentials and threaten to give money/votes/accolades to their political enemies. For bonus points, tell their enemies the same thing. For…
I don't think your take is particularly cynical. You seem to believe we can still stop this stuff. I think a cynic would have promoting encrypted communication as at least one of their bullet points.

There are two major hurdles to social change success which this campaign does not overcome:
1. There's no political threat being projected, just general, unfocused discontent
2. There's no hook to entice people who don't already care about the issue

Put your cell phone in flight mode to opt out of the worldwide tracking by the NSA.
From the slide, a subtitle: SMS Text Messages: A Goldmine to Exploit Oy vey--they don't even care anymore, do they? They're not even trying. Fuck it, have a friendly octopus: http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/52a3bb30eab8ea8a2d3...
I looked that logo up thinking it probably came from some sort of 70's science fiction book about a dystopian future. Nope, National Reconnaissance Office. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NRO_Launches I mean, at least they're being honest!
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I support this campaign. It won't work singularly, but it might be another useful bullet point in fermenting dissent against the NSA.

If I could write well, I'd start a dialog around the concept that "We shouldn't have needed Snowden". The fact that we don't have transparency into our own government, that it took someone to break the law to give us the transparency we most certainly should have had into the NSA's activities (The national security arguments don't cut it and we need to explain that well), is a clear sign that our democracy is broken, that "government by and for the people" is dying.
metacontent (message content) & metadata -> smiley face, slide 2 interesting definition of metacontent
> Meta ... is a prefix used in English ... to indicate a concept which is an abstraction from another concept, used to complete or add to the latter.
How is the entire message content abstract to the entire message content? It seems like they've just added the prefix to get around some legal obligation. What the fuck.
