A few sites are starting to get a story about how the "Domestic Terror Task Force" is being ressurected. '"But now, as the nature of the threat we face evolves to including the possibility of individual radicalization via the Internet, it is critical that we return our focus to potential extremists here at home," Holder said in the video broadcast.'

I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development
That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb. Thank you.

Our narrow minded and group thinking overlords have decided that groups or people that are unlike them must be plotting against them. And of course anyone getting quality of life raped by corporate bought laws, biased courts or just plain poisoned by Monsanto and clones must be evil, if they resist. In the meantime some buggy algorithm from the all-listening-sensor will decide if you should have your life ruined.

I don't think it is anywhere near that deliberate. I think it is more of a combination of "we have all these toys, we have to use them for something" and "when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail."

Some things doesn't have to be intentional. They just converge into such function.

Yeah, I was going to compare it to institutional racism. I think they work pretty much the same way.

What are you going to do about it? It doesn't amount to a hill of beans if you don't put your money where your mouth is. Write some software that directly messes with the NSA or the Powers-that-Be (as in, it turns their powers of surveillance around on them). Find a way to identify all NSA employees and out them to their friends, neighbors, and families. Let them each feel the direct and daily scorn of the people they're spying on. Let them be shunned. Deprive the .01% of every last scrap of privacy they have. When they step out on their wife with a mistress in Bermuda, make sure everyone in their social circle gets the video of the dirty deed shot in nightvision. Track down all their hidden accounts in the Caymans and let the American people know exactly how much of their wealth has been extracted by these parasites and salted away to keep them in coke and hookers in perpetuity. Let every crime they commit, white collar and otherwise, be recorded for posterity, or perhaps more appropriately, the firing squad that does await them in the near future.
If all that gives you pause, then perhaps you can simply refrain from playing their game anymore. If you could take public transportation or bike to work instead of driving, do. If you can grow your own vegetable garden instead of relying on those Monsanto veggies, do. If you can generate your own electricity through solar and wind, do. If you can read a book or build something or play an instrument to entertain yourself instead of zoning out in front of your cable TV, do. In short, stop giving them your dollars. Just stop. People and life went very merrily along before any of that crap came along, and they could do so again. In fact, the average person's quality of life would probably go up.
And yeah, if none of those actions and options appeal to you, then probably better get to practicing your shooting because if you can't bring yourself to do the former two classes of things, you will have no choice but resort to the latter.
