You don’t have to put up with it.
There are three ways to ways to boycott:
1. Don’t use Gmail – they use it to spy on you

On this day in 2003 the US invaded Iraq.
How did this “little” point get lost in the NSA story?
The NSA’s JOB is to spy on the communications of our enemies, not to listen to and record your phone calls.
Here’s a case where they not only got it massively wrong, it also looks like they remained silent while their “evidence” was used to drive the US into a ruinous war.
Did they present false information to the Bush criminals or did they merely sit back and do nothing when that evidence was grossly misrepresented.
It hardly matters, does it. Massively wrong in either case.
Ralph Nader talks with the author of a new book “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism.”
If it was your job to read the computer service privacy policies foisted on you by companies like Google and Facebook, it would take you 76 work days to complete the task.
A VERY important book and a very enlightening discussion.

Jason Goodman of “Intelligence Assessment” interviews Kevin Shipp, Bill Binney and John Kiriakou.
A rare gathering of three great Americans.
What’s one of the takeaways?
The NSA and CIA have given up working against true evildoers and are focused instead of invading the privacy of American citizens, building personal bureaucratic empires, and enriching their friends in private industry.
And covering their asses when they fail, fail, and fail again in the tasks they are charged with.
Why are they failing?
They’re tracking 4 billion people instead of the tens of thousands of known bad players.

A visit to the NSA data center in Utah.
Journalists are not allowed in, but one engineer got to see the center when it was under construction…and here’s what he says.
Take aways:
“We were able to calculate the capacity by counting the generators”
“People don’t understand: All the data from their personal communications is being intercepted and stored.
“If you trust the government to do the right thing, I think you’re alone in that respect.
We know that the NSA tracks everything…
But when an NSA team discovered a way to easily identify high-probability US improvised explosive device parts makers, 9/11 conspirators, and other criminals, US law enforcement could not care less.
Instead a $1.2 billion contract was given to IBM to redo the work…which to this day they still has not been done.
“We didn’t trust our government to do the right thing…so we passed the information on to Canada.” – Bill Binney. “And Canada did something with it.”
Note: US companies were selling bomb parts to Iraqis through countries in Dubai.
Where does digital connectivity lead?
The digital scam artists of Silicon Valley assure us:
“Convenience and security”
Security?
There is none, so forget that.
But one out of two isn’t bad, right?
It all depends on who gets the “convenience” – users or criminals?
By the way, think back to 9/11.
How did four large planes manage to fly around without anyone being able to track them?
How did it happen that normal air defense was shut off?
