A quick reminder of history

In the late 1990s Thomas Drake was involved in the internal NSA debate on using ThinThread, a lower cost limited ability tool, versus Trailblazer, a high cost and highly invasive tool to collect all phone and Internet traffic in the US and elsewhere. He became a whistleblower. How many today know of him?

In 2002 William Binney challenged the waste of money on Trailblazer and it being a mass data collection tool. The FBI raided his home and met him at gunpoint while he was in the shower. How many today know of him?

In 2005 Russ Tice exposed unlawful NSA spying. It has only gotten worse. How many today know of him?

In 2006 Mark Klein exposed NSA spying via Room 641A in San Francisco. There are now dozens of those rooms active today and the spying continues to a greater degree. How many today know of him?

In 2013 Edward Snowden exposed NSA spying with reportedly thousands of documents. Periodically a few documents have been made public. To date, the majority remain hidden. The spying continues. How many today know of him?

In 2018, while the spying continues, the focus has turned to censorship. While many names are in the news, Alex Jones got the most press and is both loved and hated. In a few years, how many will know of him?

This issue of privacy and censorship periodically makes the news but is then quickly forgotten. The majority don’t care and will gleefully live in servitude. If that is you, this is a waste of your time.

There is a minority that does care and some know that challenging the system can be costly. They are the ones that are concerned for themselves, people they know, and perhaps even people in a far off land they don’t know.
