A stunning new report compiles extensive evidence showing how some of the world's largest corporations have partnered with private intelligence firms and government intelligence agencies to spy on activist and nonprofit groups. Environmental activism is a prominent though not exclusive focus of these activities....Many of the world's largest corporations and their trade associations - including the US Chamber of Commerce, Walmart, Monsanto, Bank of America, Dow Chemical, Kraft, Coca-Cola, Chevron, Burger King, McDonald's, Shell, BP, BAE, Sasol, Brown & Williamson and E.ON - have been linked to espionage or planned espionage against nonprofit organizations, activists and whistleblowers.

Pitalo ga se "da li voli svoju zemlju"? Sto me podsetilo na sto me jednom pitao vodnik kad sam (kao rezervista) uhvacen da ne nosim kapu po Bubnjem Potoku.

Nije to baš jako spektakularno, mladi nerd pervovi uz pomoć RAT kitova već godinama tako slikaju curice u stanjima djelomične razodjevenosti, te zatim brutalnim ucjenama skidaju i preostale bastione ćudoređa. Znaju dobro i koji modeli wevbcamova slabije svjetle, ali ako Glen nije čuo neku transformiranu glasinu nego živu istinu, FBI možda, recimo, usto ima i pristup APIjima drivera američkih proizvođača. Ili je na neki drugi način kompromitirao sve drivere.Nažalost, na mojem ASUSu postoji plastični zasun za kameru, pa me ne bi mogli gledati u mojim terorističkim pothvatima i stanjima razodjevenosti ni uz sav SIGINT trickery...

[Indy]

Nekako to i ocekujem od pervova, ali (znam da cu da zazvucim jako naivno) ne i od onih koje placamo da nas protect & serve (tj. placaju ih Ameri, ali u mom slucaju tu i nema bitne razlike).

Nu eto, ispada da ih plaćaš i dok su na questovima i skupljaju skillzove!

Be careful how hard you troll in multiplayer games because the NSA, CIA, and FBI may be listening. According to a briefing paper from the National Security Agency published by The Guardian today, the NSA and its counterpart agency in the United Kingdom made efforts to monitor in-game communications in World of Warcraft, Xbox Live, Second Life, and other games and virtual environments. The FBI, CIA, and other intelligence agencies also have eyes and ears wandering virtual worlds.The January 2007 document, provided to The Guardian by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, reveals that the British communications-monitoring agency GCHQ had developed "exploit packages" for Xbox Live and World of Warcraft. NSA analysts proposed selectively targeting exploits for those and other "games and virtual environments" (GVE) based on intelligence that Al Qaeda members and other individuals of interest were using them—potentially to communicate with each other and conduct training.

Švedski dokumentarac o saradnji NSA-FRA (švedska verzija NSA), o tome kako je Švedska postala jedan od glavnih čvorišta aktivnog prikupljanja podataka (eufemizam za ''etičko'' hakerisanje protivnika), intervju sa Glenn Greenwald-om i još dosta toga, faktički rekapitular skandala oko Snowdena http://www.svt.se/ug/view-the-report-about-the-snowden-documents-and-sweden-with-english-subtitles The Snowden Documents and SwedenAfter six months reporters Fredrik Laurin, Sven Bergman and Joachim Dyfvermark made contact with Glenn Greenwald who holds the documents that Edward Snowden leaked from American signal intelligence organization NSA. They made this report.The film reveals many new details about the activities of Sweden’s Forsvarets Radioanstalt (FRA) and the agency’s close working relationship with the NSA and GCHQ. The revelations detailed by SVT journalists this week have been predominantly based on documents dating from April 2013 – some of the most recent so far released.Notwithstanding Sweden’s historic political neutrality, close cooperation between the NSA and FRA dates back to the UKUSA agreement of 1954. This relationship was reaffirmed on a bilateral basis in 2004 and, since 2011, has involved the NSA having full access to FRA cable collection data. Notes from the SWEDUSA Strategic Planning Conference in April this year show that Sweden is a partner in the Quantam operations that aim to compromise machines by installing malware. The FRA has also been granted access to the NSA’s XKeyScore tool, which enables searches of communications activity worldwide.In just over six months since the Guardian published the Verizon FISA Court Order stories based on the Snowden revelations have appeared in 14 countries worldwide – a number that continues to grow, week by week.

Original Edward Snowden letter published on A Folha today.An open letter to the people of Brazil, from Edward SnowdenSix months ago, I stepped out from the shadows of the United States Government's National Security Agency to stand in front of a journalist's camera. I shared with the world evidence proving some governments are building a world-wide surveillance system to secretly track how we live, who we talk to, and what we say. I went in front of that camera with open eyes, knowing that the decision would cost me family and my home, and would risk my life. I was motivated by a belief that the citizens of the world deserve to understand the system in which they live.My greatest fear was that no one would listen to my warning. Never have I been so glad to have been so wrong. The reaction in certain countries has been particularly inspiring to me, and Brazil is certainly one of those.At the NSA, I witnessed with growing alarm the surveillance of whole populations without any suspicion of wrongdoing, and it threatens to become the greatest human rights challenge of our time. The NSA and other spying agencies tell us that for our own "safety"—for Dilma's "safety," for Petrobras' "safety"—they have revoked our right to privacy and broken into our lives. And they did it without asking the public in any country, even their own.Today, if you carry a cell phone in Sao Paolo, the NSA can and does keep track of your location: they do this 5 billion times a day to people around the world. When someone in Florianopolis visits a website, the NSA keeps a record of when it happened and what you did there. If a mother in Porto Alegre calls her son to wish him luck on his university exam, NSA can keep that call log for five years or more. They even keep track of who is having an affair or looking at pornography, in case they need to damage their target's reputation.American Senators tell us that Brazil should not worry, because this is not "surveillance," it's "data collection." They say it is done to keep you safe. They’re wrong. There is a huge difference between legal programs, legitimate spying, legitimate law enforcement — where individuals are targeted based on a reasonable, individualized suspicion — and these programs of dragnet mass surveillance that put entire populations under an all-seeing eye and save copies forever. These programs were never about terrorism: they're about economic spying, social control, and diplomatic manipulation. They're about power.Many Brazilian senators agree, and have asked for my assistance with their investigations of suspected crimes against Brazilian citizens. I have expressed my willingness to assist wherever appropriate and lawful, but unfortunately the United States government has worked very hard to limit my ability to do so -- going so far as to force down the Presidential Plane of Evo Morales to prevent me from traveling to Latin America! Until a country grants permanent political asylum, the US government will continue to interfere with my ability to speak.Six months ago, I revealed that the NSA wanted to listen to the whole world. Now, the whole world is listening back, and speaking out, too. And the NSA doesn't like what it's hearing. The culture of indiscriminate worldwide surveillance, exposed to public debates and real investigations on every continent, is collapsing. Only three weeks ago, Brazil led the United Nations Human Rights Committee to recognize for the first time in history that privacy does not stop where the digital network starts, and that the mass surveillance of innocents is a violation of human rights.The tide has turned, and we can finally see a future where we can enjoy security without sacrificing our privacy. Our rights cannot be limited by a secret organization, and American officials should never decide the freedoms of Brazilian citizens. Even the defenders of mass surveillance, those who may not be persuaded that our surveillance technologies have dangerously outpaced democratic controls, now agree that in democracies, surveillance of the public must be debated by the public.My act of conscience began with a statement: "I don't want to live in a world where everything that I say, everything I do, everyone I talk to, every expression of creativity or love or friendship is recorded. That's not something I'm willing to support, it's not something I'm willing to build, and it's not something I'm willing to live under."Days later, I was told my government had made me stateless and wanted to imprison me. The price for my speech was my passport, but I would pay it again: I will not be the one to ignore criminality for the sake of political comfort. I would rather be without a state than without a voice.If Brazil hears only one thing from me, let it be this: when all of us band together against injustices and in defense of privacy and basic human rights, we can defend ourselves from even the most powerful systems.

Hteo da kacim to juce, al' pomislio da niko nece da cita.Uzasno znacajne reci (npr. "These programs were never about terrorism: they're about economic spying, social control, and diplomatic manipulation. They're about power.") - posebno u svetlu vesti od danas da demokratska Indija uvodi sistem za skeniranje kompletne onlajn komunikacije (real time), navodno zbog terorizma.
