ToothlessJake··on Defense subcontractor posted a job listing for XKEYSCORE 2 weeks ago
If you wanted to help your friends and family you would not work for murderers or their support staff. Helping friends and family means more than monetary income with walled gardens that consume the rest of society outside of it. It means furthering society, the health of it.

Go find a flower company or something, you can easily avoid work at SAIC or Boeing.

The changing of national defense to a for-profit venture that also included protecting corporations within said nation has resulted in a magnificent shift in the quality of staffing.

No longer do you have idealists willing to drive their vision of a great United States by taking a job with marginal income but great reward. You have folks like those above, who see headlines of rights abuses and think "I would like to profit off that."

Sure the quality of life is better in the locality the work is in, but only because it is built upon the lessening of quality of life for others at the expensive of said others.

Others who do not want their tax monies being driven to immunity shielded corporations who work to kill others via drones under the guise of freedom and liberty. Yes, that is SAIC[1].

SAIC is also running domestic surveillance, currently having a facility in Oakland built[1]. The facility is currently being funded by the DHS, being built while no privacy controls or data retention policies are known.

This is an ongoing trend of the names most know as being involved in national level surveillance actively involved on the state and local level too. Another case is Booz Allen Hamilton's processing of digital forensics for local law enforcement via federal funds[2].

Yea, no chance for conflict of interests when firms granted immunity, having access to the world's data, are involved in 'petty' things like domestic surveillance/forensics to assist in prosecutions of the wire-tapped non-immunes.

This is an absolutely horrific trend that must be halted, as in halting literal construction.

ToothlessJake··on Sleepwalking into censorship
Five Eyes is run by a self interested profit motivated pool of persons who trade insider info such as exploits to use against others.[1] Their treasonous reach is spreading and thankfully people are becoming aware.

People who dare collate information on the persons behind companies like Endgame and Booz Allen have federal resources put upon them. The site[1] linked, started in part by Barrett Brown is part of this battle.[2]

SOS.

ToothlessJake··on Basic Augmented Reality using Glass
A tricky wicket indeed. I feel the more devices are always-on, the more the devices uploading data on their own accord the more privacy by default should be given to others. It is really no longer an issue of wondering if someone is going to post an image to Facebook from a device, but if the device is going to publishing "metadata" on it's own.

Devices like Glass seem to be the threshold where this always on activity becomes most apparent as a potential problem. No doubt we'll be seeing more in the future, Motorola's recent always-on-ness hardware for example.

Very nice, just keep Glass in the privacy of your home away from the non-consenting public. Thanks.
ToothlessJake··on Iranian Hackers Post Images Over JFK Airport From UAV That Was Hijacked In March
The person does not claim that. Where did you draw this from?
ToothlessJake··on Iranian Hackers Post Images Over JFK Airport From UAV That Was Hijacked In March
I made a brief timeline of Parastoo hacks when submitting the Cryptome.org article on this topic. The hacker(s) referenced VSATs and drone hijacking after hacking IHS Janes, pre-JFK drone incident. They then started to reference the JFK incident in further releases about hijacking US drones over US skies/assets: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6038657

ToothlessJake··on Iranian Hackers Post Images Over JFK Airport From UAV That Was Hijacked In March
A user/group named "Parastoo" has been hacking targets like IHS Janes: http://cryptome.org/2013/02/parastoo-janes-cbrn.htm

Recently has started making statements about hijacking drones: http://cryptome.org/2013/07/parastoo-uav-launch2.htm

TLDR: Iranian chap(s) have been on a hacking spree and seem to be honing in on what they like to target. In this case US drones over US skies/assets.

This video is said to show US ships being monitored by a hijacked drone. Video was included in a statement by "Parastoo" making claims of an upcoming hijacking of UAV over US skies: http://cryptome.org/2013/07/parastoo-uav-launch2.htm

Also referenced is the supposed hijacking of a drone near JFK airport: http://articles.latimes.com/2013/mar/05/nation/la-na-nn-faa-...

ToothlessJake··on Egypt has become an economic basket case since Mubarak was ousted
Incase I was not entirely clear, I am accusing those personally invested in companies that deal with world's secrets like James Clapper of using companies like Booz Allen to aid other corporations that are given legal immunity.

The trade of insider secrets, exploits, bugging diplomats and world leaders. Collecting 'metadata' from the rest at the very least. Turning intel into for-profit ventures while granting legal immunity to corporations that are given preferential market treatment.

This is global manipulation. It burdens us all eroding chances for creation and innovation while keeping a few monied and out of prison.

ToothlessJake··on Egypt has become an economic basket case since Mubarak was ousted
Same US Chamber of commerce, a private creation whose name is made to mirror government entities, involved in plot to undermine/smear Wikileaks supporters, dissidents, political activists via corporations like Palantir/HBGary?

http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/02/11/143669/chamberle...

I recall the "U.S.-EGYPT BUSINESS COUNCIL," part of the US Chamber of commerce. From their website: "The USEBC, located within the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.."

http://www.usegyptcouncil.org/about/

Also a part of this group inviting businessmen around to meddle in nations: Booz Allen Hamilton.

http://www.usegyptcouncil.org/member-companies/

Yea these gents are not involved in global market manipulation on the backs of the unwashed masses. Not at all.
