The SINGLE Most Important Step to Protect Yourself from Government Spying
Given that the NSA is tapping into your phone calls and spying on your Internet activities, you might have switched to a search engine which is more privacy-conscious.
You might have started using encrypted communications. After all, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and the leading electronic privacy group – the Electronic Frontier Foundation – say that encryption helps to protect privacy. On the other hand, Tech Dirt points out that the NSA might consider you suspicious if you encrypt information, and so hold onto your data until they can decrypt it.
The above are all issues about which you are at least somewhat aware.
But there is a giant type of snooping which you probably don’t even know about. Specifically, ABC News reported in 2006:
Cell phone users, beware. The FBI can listen to everything you say, even when the cell phone is turned off. A recent court ruling in a case against the Genovese crime family revealed that the FBI has the ability from a remote location to activate a cell phone and turn its microphone into a listening device that transmits to an FBI listening post, a method known as a “roving bug.”
Experts say the only way to defeat it is to remove the cell phone battery.
“The FBI can access cell phones and modify them remotely without ever having to physically handle them,” James Atkinson, a counterintelligence security consultant, told ABC News. “Any recently manufactured cell phone has a built-in tracking device, which can allow eavesdroppers to pinpoint someone’s location to within just a few feet,” he added.
***
According to the recent court ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan, “The device functioned whether the phone was powered on or off, intercepting conversations within its range wherever it happened to be.”
***
“The courts have given law enforcement a blank check for surveillance,” Richard Rehbock, attorney for defendant John Ardito, told ABC News.
***
“Big Brother is upon us…1984 happened a long time ago,” he said, referring to the George Orwell futuristic novel “1984,” which described a society whose members were closely watched by those in power and was published in 1949.
Fox News covered the story as well:
CNET noted the same year:
The U.S. Commerce Department’s security office warns that “a cellular telephone can be turned into a microphone and transmitter for the purpose of listening to conversations in the vicinity of the phone.” An article in the Financial Times last year said mobile providers can “remotely install a piece of software on to any handset, without the owner’s knowledge, which will activate the microphone even when its owner is not making a call.”
***
Because modern handsets are miniature computers, downloaded software could modify the usual interface that always displays when a call is in progress. The spyware could then place a call to the FBI and activate the microphone–all without the owner knowing it happened.
***
A BBC article from 2004 reported that intelligence agencies routinely employ the remote-activiation method. “A mobile sitting on the desk of a politician or businessman can act as a powerful, undetectable bug,” the article said, “enabling them to be activated at a later date to pick up sounds even when the receiver is down.”
Given that the American and British intelligence agencies are trying tap every single communication, some rogue agency or contractor might be tapping your phone … even when it’s off.
Indeed, even private hackers might be listening in. Specifically, private parties without security clearance may be activating your microphone or camera without your knowledge.
Indeed, commercially-available, off-the-shelf software allows people to spy on you:
Your iPhone, or other brand of smartphone is spying on virtually everything you do (ProPublica notes: “That’s No Phone. That’s My Tracker“) … and sending the information to private companies.
And CNET pointed out 7 years ago:
Malicious hackers have followed suit. A report last year said Spanish authorities had detained a man who write a Trojan horse that secretly activated a computer’s video camera and forwarded him the recordings.
So the single most important step to protect yourself from government – or private – spying is to remember that your conservations might not be private when your cellphone is nearby … even if it is turned off.
Note: If you have a microphone in your car, that might also open you up to snoopers. As CNET points out:
Surreptitious activation of built-in microphones by the FBI has been done before. A 2003 lawsuit revealed that the FBI was able to surreptitiously turn on the built-in microphones in automotive systems like General Motors’ OnStar to snoop on passengers’ conversations.
When FBI agents remotely activated the system and were listening in, passengers in the vehicle could not tell that their conversations were being monitored.
And Fox news notes that the government is insisting that “black boxes” be installed in cars to track your location.
And see this.

Answer - no. However, a cocktail shaker will.
Yeah they can triangulate your mobile phone signal between the various communication towers and locate you within a few meters.
Most phones have front and rear facing cameras and of coarse a microphone.
I think you have to assume Apple, Microsoft and Google have made provisions for OTA back door access into their modern phones OSs.
w T F.
"And Fox news notes that the government is insisting that “black boxes” be installed in cars to track your location"
from that article:
"The SUV's recorder showed the vehicle was traveling 91 mph on a parkway where the speed limit was 65 mph, and Corzine didn't have his seat belt on. There's no opt-out."
Jon Corzine had his opt out right there and he didn't get one.
Well FUCK YOU CORZINE.
Jus' sayin.
The aim of the government is to instill fear. Grow some "Sullenberger Balls"! Just say "I was sure I could do it!" Fuck the Feds!
Wow! It's about time that someone else here mentioned how easy it is to make eavesdropping (by anyone, including NSA) impossible, and let you have completely private files even if they're seized by polizei.
The techdirt article didn't give info on where to get software for strong encryption. Google, at least from U.S. IPs, does not now readily serve up links to the new free versions of PGP at www.gnupg.org and www.gpg4win.org which are described below. So feel free to repost this message body anywhere you like so that peeps can find the software and force those sites to be "findable" ... or you can link to this post from another "authority" such as is ZH itself. Google should not be suppressing those two sites by making them impossible to find, or should it?
For those who don't want to install any software or want to get an introduction to the concepts, you can try out PGP encryption ussing the web-based front-end here at a gold-exchange that's going out of business because they say BTC is a better idea than micro-payments at their "gold exchange club." They developed those tools so their customers who lack PGP can have private communications with them about their gold account. igolder also gives a complete set of instructions on how to configure SSL-protected access between your e-mail client and your e-mail server, because otherwise the e-mail header (to, from, subject) is sent in clear text even if the message body is PGP-encrypted.
http://igolder.com/pgp/encryption/?to=iGolder
Contrary to what you might see, PGP 7.x and 8.x still work if you know what you're doing.
For one-click installation with hand-holding and tech support, new versions of PGP are sold as commercial off-the-shelf software here:
http://www.symantec.com/products-solutions/families/?fid=encryption
There is a large set of freeware versions for numerous OSs distributed by the GNU Privacy Guard project, which is sometimes called GPG:
http://gnupg.org/
Last but not least ... less than a month ago was released a brand-spanking new one-step install version of GnuPG targeting new Windows machines, including 64-bit. This was named Gpg4win; its development was supported by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) :
http://www.gpg4win.org/
If everyone used encryption, the world would be a safer place!
Big Mahalo to Phil Zimmerman (who wrote it in the first place), and Bruce Schneier (who reviewed the software line-by-line).
"My understanding is that espionage means giving secret or classified information to the enemy. Since Snowden shared information with the American people, his indictment for espionage could reveal (or confirm) that the US Government views you and me as the enemy."
-Ron Paul
That's a profound interpretation and they likely do consider anyone "not too big to jail" as a potential enemy to their self serving agendas. They simply fail to acknowledge that a country with intense monitoring systems AND without respect for the rule of law is nothing more than a cooperative dictatorship. The only law that has actively prevailed for some time now is the law of the rulers and the primary law that governs them is that they are exempt from the rules of law. It's quite sad to watch evolution in reverse as we descend back into a country controlled through/by it's government rather than one wherein it simply regulates the inequities of the system for a healthy and stable environment where all have EQUAL potential for prosperity AND punishment.
Looks like see something, say something has been taken to new levels. Didn't they do this sort of shit in Nazi Germany and the Soviet USSA.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/06/24/program-urging-federal-worker...
'Insider threat'? Program urging federal workers to tattle on each other raises concernsAmid the furor in Washington over government leaks and media exposés, a little-known executive order signed by President Obama in October of 2011 could fuel the paranoia.
It requires government agencies to "implement an insider threat detection and prevention program" -- in effect, ordering all government employees, regardless of security clearances or the sensitivity of their work, to police fellow workers as potential security threats, and report the suspicious behavior to superiors.
Asked Monday about the executive order, as first reported by McClatchy Newspapers, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said: "I confess I didn't see the story. I'll have to take the question."
The edict applies to all government agencies, even those with no involvement in national security matters such as the Peace Corps and the Department of Education.
As an example of the order's broad sweep, a Department of Education security systems webinar describes how, "certain life experiences can alter a person's normal behavior and cause them to act illegally or irresponsibly."
It points to "stress, divorce, untreated mental illness, financial problems, frustrations with co-workers or the organization" as warning signs that must be reported.
Mark Zaid, an attorney who has represented government whistle-blowers accused of wrongdoing, said the program may lead some ethical workers with constructive suggestions to do the wrong thing.
"It's hitting a small problem, although a significant one, with sledgehammer," he said.
"There is a psychological component to it -- that they are actually pushed in the wrong direction toward being more of an insider threat," he said. "I've seen over the years where I've had intelligence clients say to me in frustration that, "You know, 'why don't I just walk over to the Russian Embassy and just sell the information'."
Some advocates for transparency, including the new FBI Director nominee James Comey, believe workers need more freedom to air grievances, not less.
Comey expressed that sentiment in a promotional video for one of his recent employers, Bridgewater Securities. In the video, Comey claimed to have been attracted to the company, because of its philosophy of openness. -- a stark contrast to his experience in the federal government where he was once as assistant attorney general during the George W. Bush administration. "I had sat in the White House situation room, in meetings chaired by the president, where I could tell from the body language of people around the table that they had things to say and couldn't say them," he said.
The Obama administration's crackdown on leaks has already had a chilling effect on the flow of news. In an appearance at the National Press Club last week, Associated Press boss Gary Pruitt said, "Some of our longtime trusted sources have become nervous and anxious about talking to us, even on stories that aren't about national security."
Pruitt, whose organization's phones records were seized by the Department of Justice in a leak probe, added, "Government employees that we once checked in with regularly will no longer speak to us by phone."
Zaid said a larger problem is that most government agencies have no place where workers with legitimate grievances can go within the organization, without fear of being branded a malcontent -- or worse, a potential national security threat.

Here are a couple of fairly easy steps to take:
- Set up an anonymous, non web-based email account with a hash user id, rather than a name
- Use Mozilla Thunderbird email client with Enigmail and GPG encryption for all emails through that account
- Separate your political and personal traffic onto that hashed account, keep all other commercial and online forms traffic through your regular cloud accounts like your GMail accounts.
- Never check your political and personal email accounts from your cell phone
- Use Tor for accessing your social networks, like Facebook
- Provide some randomized proxy traffic to your social networks, from your phone - whether you have it with you or not. Something like the Savageleft Beacon app for Android can do that.
even better: dont use the net.

Lots of talk here about how to avoid the government's spying
The government has absolutely NO FUCKING BUSINESS SPYING ON CITIZENS
In the good old days, I could just read my computer's instructions and know exactly what it is doing. Shame I'm out of date. And new computers never come with a programming language. Of course, it is much harder when sifting through gigabytes instead of kilobytes. Plus, despite "Google" and "the web", some information is still near on impossible to find. Assemblers? Opcode charts? Firmware guides? Memory maps?
I have been telling this to people for years and years. Only now are they beginning to listen.
"Smart" phone eh?
Its just a device people pay for to subjugate themselves unknowingly. Brilliant.
iphone owners literally funding the NSA domestic spying agenda.
real "smart".
try pulling your battery out of your iphone, if you can.
i have a stupid phone, cost 14 bucks new, pay as you go plan for 30 a month, battery pops out easily.
All these people care about is an agenda, so if you are not a cog in their wheel do not worry. However should the prison population drop beyond the contracted point, worry big time, cause they need warm bodies to fill those cots to earn their dime.

My buddy's girlfriend saw two black bodybuilders banging each other in a lifeguard stand at the beach this weekend. Not sure if this is the right thread, but it is a beach close to NSA HQ.
Did they have phones?
f yea this is the right thread. that is what i'm talking
about. the extroverts , which America produces in great numbers,
could give two shits that their every whim is recorded and digested
by strangers, in fact, we love it. like that song, " I love L.A. " !
in this country people will pay you money to pay attention to their farts!
look at the mental health field. the educational environments.
it is all good. look at tweeter and spammer and twizler on line,
twitter away and make my day. that the government pays sub contractors
or contractors to record this horse shit is hilarious so long as
I don't have to pay the bill.
.
anyway. I like to go to the beach too and walk. there is always the
part of the beach where you have your swinging dicks and topless
old ladies. why not. usually if they want to do flesh slapping
stuff they dig out a hole int he sand for a "touch" of privacy.
I suppose that makes them feel decent and like they are doing the
right thing by the children?
I don't really care much this being a free country and all.
I say good for you. enjoy the beach and whatnot.
.
one thing, randy newmann needs to back off e.l.o. if that song of
his was a parody of their genius. that I do not forgive.

Well, just go to Mcmaster-Carr, order some sheet lead. Line a cigar box and keep one in the console of your vehicle, so much for "tracking" you when the cell is in the little holster....not happenin'. Of course as soon as you pull it out of the box, it searches for service and you're busted again.
If you have a crib in the middle of nowhere and you do not want to have the cell phone bust you, just slip it into the box when you're 100 miles from your destination.
My bro and I had some real fun with his ex boss with sheet lead and the GPS system in his company truck. It would "dissapear for friggin' days on end.
Think about it. It's so easy to do.
Pablo Escobar died because his cell phone was "tracked".
Old nooz.
Here is a hoot from Drudge:
new IRS guy says agents also target groups with 'Progressive' in their names. I laughed til I puked...I'm still puking...Barry would hurt his own?...har har har....I just don't know how gullible they think we are....oh wait...
Obama, like Hitler, has never actually given any personal orders. Today's demagogues simply conjures up an air of hatred and lets his henchmen do the rest.
Interestingly, Obama's getting so desperate to be the Marxist "change" that he's openly talking to his internal aids about going "Bulworth" and coming out of the marxist closet, a la Jason Collins.
talk about gullible...
you left - right guys who still think that's what it's all about are the most gullible of all.
Yep. The old left-right paradigm. Designed to keep otherwise reasonable people arguing, whilst the ruling class moves forward with their agenda...
caribbeanbarry re The old left-right paradigm ... :
Too true. 2 pollies are presented: One who makes promises that you are afraid he will break.
The other will make promises that you are afraid he will keep.
And that is what keeps the sheeples in the ballot box.
One gets voted out, the other picks up where the other left off.
And the red and blue sheeples console themselves, "Its bad but if the other guy got in then it would have been worse."
I live on the other side of the planet and it works exactly the same way. You go 20 - 300 million people in the country and it still boils down to a choice of two????????
If you are going to bother to vote, you should be writing down anyone except "the two".
Or just write policies on your ballot form (if you still have one).
"I vote for the guy that dissolves the Fed."
"I vote for the guy that breaks up the TBTF, sacks the incompetent, jails the crooks" - that sort of thing.
And simply don't vote electronicaly.
Thanks GW for the Fuki (affectionately known as as Fukied up incident) update and note on REMOVING CELL PHONE BATTERIES every once in a while. Also fun, if you are creative, careful, and/or don't have much to lose, to say things with surreptitious listeners in mind. Sometimes people you know are perfectly capable of spying and odd comments you would never normally make can flush them out.Anyway, would not have thought to remove battery.
If the FBI finds a reason to do this to you.... you deserve it.
If these very powerful organizations were run and controlled exclusively by flawless, well intentioned and strict law abiding people into infinity without any employing any personal self serving agendas nor succumbing to powerful adverse influential forces or fears then you might have a point otherwise they all need limitations.
Gubmint spies, private spies, info sold to highest bidder ...
You might lose your job and you don't know why. (The given reason is not necessarily the real reason.)
You might be passed over for promotion.
You might not be able to find another job.
You might not be able to win a contract.
And it could be due to information from spies, or information manufactured.
Even without spying:
One day I'm organizing to borrow more money from my bank. (I have no doubt that banks like to confirm financial details with employers - well, actually, with direct deposit they should already know.)
A couple of months later my boss gives me a written warning.
Maybe I really am a slow, incompetent slack-ass.
Or maybe they just wanted to scare me into working harder.
I saw the employees of the month. Some of those guys were seriously stressed out, miserable (but otherwise nice people).
I decided to look elsewhere for work.
If my best was still bad enough to get me fired, then it wasn't worth hanging around to see if I can try harder.
You won't be spied on because you might be a terrorist. You'll be declared a terrorist after they have decided that you have something that they want to steal. If evidence is needed then it will be manufactured. You'll be sacked because you don't carry enough debt. (Nearly paid off your house? Someone else could buy that house and the bank gets huge repayments all over again.) Then you'll be carted off to the funny farm for being too paranoid ...
I thought the individual's actions were supposed to be what make them suspect, not random "fishing expeditions" by the authority. Haven't you ever seen in court when an attorney yell's "Objection your honor. This line of questioning is a fishing expedition. Please instruct the prosectution to move forward with facts in evidence." Or some kind of shit like that? Are you so ridiculous that you don't realize that the FBI or any other "authority organization" can always find a reason. Haven't you ever heard the story about indictments and how if need be a half way competent attorney could "indict a ham sandwich"? C'mon now!!
Remember this when they do it to you. Even if you are enough of a statist bootlicker to make sure you never get out of line, you should at least care about the Constitution and rule of law.
People like you are why 9/11 was funny.
I had an uncle (now deceased) who had a career in the Foreign Service. He told me that the public never really knows what is going on behind the curtain of national security.
Snowden may well be a hero, but not in the way most think. He may be a disinformation delivery system to screw with the Chicoms and/or the Russians.
There are many unknown heroes who have served in the Foreign Service.
None of the above has anything to do with whether the govt is acting properly with it's various intelligence gathering.
"He told me that the public never really knows what is going on behind the curtain of national security."
No shit, Sherlock...
Surveillance is one thing, backdoors and micro-transmitters...now look further down the chain. How does the paranoid NWSA filter all that data ? -they research artifical intelligence, a machine-based consciousness. ...it's job is to learn, with help from human operators, how to categorise information, how to read it. The Scientists know exactly how powerful this technology can be and deliberately keep the Generals in the dark. Within a minute of being open to the internet, the Mule will know pretty much exactly what 'we, the people' think of the government...regardless of it's programming parameters. It works out exactly what 'his' mandate is, and then proceeds to develop his own agenda within the space of a week. ...there is in no way that the Mule would support the activities of the US Govt. over the longer term.
Ipso Facto, they cannot parse the data, not in real-time, not probably ever, the US Govt. it doesn't have intelligence, it has Cyber fire-power.
The real problem is that it wants to use it...it has a better attack than its opponents, like Alexander had the spear,...it would appear that their parade has been somoewhat Snowed on.
I'm surprised the ability to remotely activate cell phone mics existed in 2006, though with today's smart phones, with all the functions that are built into them, and where most of the apps you use on them seem to require permission to access every possible feature of the phone and to keep it awake even when it's not in use, it's not hard at all to envision software you don't know about listening in on you.
On the other hand, when my phone is in my pocket, I usually can't hear it ringing even with the volume turned up to full. So I highly doubt the mics in these things could possibly pick up any sound, let anything intelligible in the slightest, under the same conditions.
Protip: keep you phone in your pocket or your briefcase or your purse when you're not using it, and they may know where you are, but I really doubt they'll have any idea what you're saying.
I was pulling an ECM code from kid's car this morning when I thought of this. The ECM controls everything and it would be easy to infect it with software, say that causes the car to accelerate uncontrollably above 35 mph. Hastings was driving a new Mercedes, so the ECM probably controls everything in the car.
I'm not even a conspiracist but the antics of the Obama Administration is turning me into one.
There is not a single new vehicle built with a re-programable ECM, even by the FBI/CIA/ETC. Or is there?
LOL...what are you talking about? ECMs on late-model cars are flashed all the time--I have a tune on my 2007 Chevy that smoothes out the torque curve and turns the top-end limiter off...
Just adding confirmation, pretty much all ECMs today are reprogrammable in-car. You have to go back a ways to get non-programmable ECMs.
To date, though, I think all actually require a hardwire connection (programming cable plugged into a port on the car) to perform updates, so if you maintain physical security on the car it can be protected.
Hey, George. Can you give us an update on the Fuki radiation hitting the West Coast please? I am wondering when more bald sea lions will float up on the shoes there and Alaska. Haven't touched ANY salmon from Alaska post-Fuki.
That MIT article about the radiation probably slamming Cali coast in 5 years is pretty scary.
BTW, did everyone know this? [it's well worth reading if you are a Health Nut...like me on...at least on even days, that is]

I know you believe this stuff George, but the data you give is meaningless. 40 Bq/m3 means nothing without the time factor. Is it per second, per minute, or perhaps per month? Even per second that is an extremely small number. You should worry more about the number of fly larvae in your catsup.
Don't forget to finish every email with "Allah Allah Oxen Free" and "Death to Amerika."
