Today in Labor History May 20, 1949: The U.S. established the National Security Agency. Up until recently it was (and probably still is) the nation’s largest spy agency, in spite of massive cuts and mass firings by the Trump administration. The NSA currently engages in worldwide mass data collection as well as physically bugging targets. They were likely behind the Stuxnet software attack that severely damaged Iran’s nuclear program. The NSA spied on anti-Vietnam War activists and continues to spy on U.S. citizens. Many of their secret surveillance programs were leaked by Edward Snowden, who was forced to flee the country. He is now living in exile in Russia. Private companies, like AT&T and Verizon have collaborated with the NSA to help them spy on U.S. citizens. They supposedly have access to all communications made via Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo, YouTube, AOL, Skype, Apple and Paltalk.

I’d like to say the good news is that the vast majority of this data is pornographic. Problem is, they’re using people’s porn habits to discredit and embarrass them, particularly Muslim clerics and activists. According to a July 2014 report in the Washington Post, 90% of those being surveilled by the NSA are ordinary Americans, not intended targets. But since they’re surveilling every communication made by nearly everyone in the U.S., they’re surveilling pretty much everyone. So, the obvious question is: Why are 10% of all Americans (a full 33 million people) considered targets? And if there really are 33 million of us who are opposed the U.S. government, how come we keep ending up with such shit politicians? And this particular data was true prior to Trump taking office. One can presume that everyone who has ever said anything critical of the U.S., or Trump, is now in the crosshairs.

Hi #BookLovers! 📚✨

These are a few of my favorite books that have shaped my worldview over the years. As a gender-fluid anarcho-syndicalist, many of these have been deeply influential in how I see and understand the world. 🌈❤️🖤

Nothing To Hide. #Snowden (2013)

Arguing that you don’t care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don’t care about free speech because you have nothing to say.
Because even if you don't use your rights today, others need them. It's like saying : I don't care about other people.

WHY YOU SHOULD PAY CASH

WHEN YOU PAY DIGITALLY MOST OF THE MONEY GOES TO THE BANKS NOT YOUR COMMUNITY!

"I copied this from someone else. Very interesting and it really made me stop and think about using cash more often.
I have really never thought of this has anyone else?
💲Please understand what NOT
using cash is doing.
Cash is important. 💸
Why should we pay cash everywhere we can
with banknotes instead of a credit card? 💳
- I have a $50 banknote in my pocket.
Going to a restaurant and paying for dinner with it. The restaurant owner then uses the bill to pay for the laundry. The laundry owner then uses the bill to pay the barber. The barber will then use the bill for shopping.
After an unlimited number of payments, it will still remain a $50, which has fulfilled its purpose to everyone who used it for payment and the bank has jumped dry from every cash payment transaction made...
- But if I come to a restaurant and pay digitally - Card, and bank fees for my payment transaction charged to the seller are 3%, so around $1.50 and so will the fee $1.50 for each further payment transaction or owner re laundry or payments of the owner of the laundry shop, or payments of the barber etc.....
Therefore, after 30 transactions, the initial $50 will remain only $5 😫 and the remaining $45 became the property of the bank 🏦 thanks to all digital transactions and fees.
Small businesses need your help and this is one way to help ourselves too. Pull small draws of cash out at a time and use that instead of tap, credit, etc.
When this is put into perspective, imagine what each retailer is paying on a monthly basis in fees at 3% per transaction through their POS machine.
If they have, for example, $50,000 in sales & 90% are by Card, they are paying $1500 in fees in ONE Month. $18,000 in a year! That comes out of their income every month.
That would go a long way to helping that small business provide for its family!🏦♥️" got this from a good friend"

if you've never seen it, i highly recommend it! much of the government surveillance that it highlights are either still in practice or are being done by other governments all around the world

here are some old photos i made back on the opening night at SIFF Cinema in Seattle

🧵 …wie in den oberen Toots schon erwähnt, ist KI nicht wirklich intelligent und wird auch als Waffe eingesetzt. Dies bezüglich ergänzend hatte anscheinend Edward Snowden sich auf X auch geäussert:

»Edward Snowden warnt: „Vertrauen Sie niemals OpenAI“:
Als vorsätzlichen, kalkulierten Verrat an den Menschenrechten benannte Edward Snowden die Berufung von Ex-NSA-Direktor in den OpenAI-Vorstand«

TARNKAPPE.INFO · Edward Snowden warnt: "Vertrauen Sie niemals OpenAI"Als vorsätzlichen, kalkulierten Verrat an den Menschenrechten benannte Edward Snowden die Berufung von Ex-NSA-Direktor in den OpenAI-Vorstand

Today in Labor History June 15, 1917: President Woodrow Wilson signed the Espionage Act into law. The law targeted leftist, anti-war and labor organizations, especially the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), which was virtually destroyed because of the arrests and deportations of its members. When Eugene Debs spoke against the draft in Canton, Ohio, he was arrested and sentenced to 10 years in prison. He ran for president from prison in 1920, winning nearly 1 million votes (3.4%). The government used the law to arrest anarchists Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman and depart them to the Soviet Union. They used the law against the Rosenbergs, whom they executed. They also used it against Daniel Ellsberg, whose “Pentagon Papers” were published by the NY Times 51 years ago. The Espionage Act is still on the books and was used recently to prosecute Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden.

"Ich habe das Gefühl, dass #Datenschutz etwas ist, das viele Menschen in Deutschland hauptsächlich nervt. Insbesondere die jüngere Generation scheint wenig Bewusstsein für die Risiken sozialer Medien zu haben; ihnen geht es hauptsächlich um den Zugang zu Informationen. Viele denken vielleicht, dass sie sowieso nichts zu verbergen haben. Aber ich sehe es wie #EdwardSnowden: Bei der #Privatsphäre geht es nicht darum, ob man etwas zu verbergen hat. Jeder hat ein Recht darauf."
