You really think Mr Zuckerthingamy would care about a group of nonbelievers? He only cares about money.

@David1955 So you answered your own question... We are a comodity to be Sold to highest bidder. Don't be that Naive! I wonder if you are a "mole" or "troll". Nothing personal, mind you. Now days I don't trust my own mother.

@GipsyOfNewSpain funny reply, since I never have and never would touch Facebook with a 50 foot pole, and don't do social media other than this site. You might want to watch that paranoia, by the way.

@ScienceBiker he, he, more than I wanted to know about you... he, he, he, ha. Ask the russians they will tell you that was enough for what their purpose was. WHEN YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR ENEMY IS LOOKING FOR, YOU CANT DECLASSIFY. Never assume you know your enemy.

@David1955 answered as a true mole will by the way. He, he, he, ha.

@GipsyOfNewSpain well it looks like I'm not going to fool you. Silly me for trying.

It's a question of faith, below member.

Spending my own money on the website... part of 'giving it back'

@Admin thank you

Surveillance technology is well developed by the NSA, who apparently listen to all foreign communications with computers (AI based probably). So, IMO there is no privacy anymore, except in your own home, and maybe not there because it is possible to listen to conversations inside a room as long as it has a window. Since technology is always improving, Someday it may be possible to listen to communications inside homes from a satellite or aircraft; though, maybe not today. Cameras are inexpensive and will proliferate. I suspect a camera will soon be small enough to include on a stamp, and cheap enough for someone to buy a roll of 50 ready for the internet. AI will be able to use cameras to follow our every move once we are outside of our house. Existing radio signals, e.g., WiFi, can be used to locate people inside a building, and there is a camera that can see around doors. Privacy, forget about it; this is the 21st century. Worry will make you ill.

@EdEarl See? ...that is what happens when you think you follow science and technology. You miss the target because you are the target. Try again... this time imagine you are the field and they want to find you within 20 minutes. 10 minutes?

@EdEarl NSA is everything happens inhouse. CIA everthing foreign. Do they share? Maybe not enough, NSA was the only agency who came out unscattered and clean of fault after 9/11 investigation. Major screw up by FBI and CIA. ALREADY SAID TOO MUCH. Goodbye.

@GipsyOfNewSpain Smoke and mirrors fill the environment. The Arms Lobby is strong, and there are paranoid people in power who "need" to know. Julian Assange is a wanted man, and you say the NSA is clean. Who are you? I called my senator's office, Ted Cruz, and days later an old acquaintance from HS who I hadn't heard from in 50+ years, who said he knows AG Sessions, emailed me via Facebook, he is a Vietnam Vet, ranger and helo pilot, who returned 4 or 5 times. This guy, Corkey, and I have nothing in common, didn't hang in HS. He didn't answer, "How did you find me." And, you think the NSA is clean I don't think they only listen to foreign conversations. I am a nobody, who has been identified as a progressive radical by a powerful Tea Party politician. Fuck them, I will not cower. I will speak my mind. It is important to the survival of the US and its people. I'm old and willing to die for freedom. I know they hate to be told they are screwed up by paranoia. THE TEA PARTY IS ANTIAMERICAN.

there is already a contact lens with a camera and mic built-in

@EdEarl First, I hope you understand the meaning of inhouse. I did not said was Clean I said in the 9/11 Fucked Up came out off the investigation clean. We did had enough information scattered around to stop the deed if it was in the government desire to do so. I wouldn't use ted cruz as a point of reference even as substitute for toilet paper.... and you called his office? I hope you learned your lesson there. THERE WERE THE VIRTUAL "I KNEW IT". All over all the government agencies. I never seen a building collapse without engineering help and 2 on cue? Nah, aint going to happen... not even bin laden expected to collapse the buildings like that. All I am saying is and I repeat... "If you don't know what your enemy is after... you can not know what to classify or declassify". So it is Ignorant and Naive from us to assume anything said here is of No Value to those that had Target Us as a Mine to Exploit. We are living in ameriKKKa.

@GipsyOfNewSpain I watched THE CIRCLE (only 2 minutes) but don't get it

@EdEarl All it is... a company that will hire you and expect to be part of your life 24/7. Not even the military was that into you. Great benefits but they are over your shoulder and who you contact 24/7. Like anything else in life... "It is all Fun and Games Until someone Dies".

@GipsyOfNewSpain Oh, I understand now. I don't assume things are of no value to them, I will not cower to them, even if they can twist my words and make a bomb out of them. Fuck Trump, the KKK and NeoNazis If we cower, they win. If they decide I am too loud, and kill me, it will be for a good cause. Rebellion requires sacrifice, and now is the time to stand and be heard.

@EdEarl I am sure we can find of better use of you alive brother. They are everywhere and into everything. Long Live and Prosper.

very true my friend

Excellent, thanks.
