How To Make Sure The NSA Can't Read Your Email
ka9yhd:
They told us about encryption for email a number of years ago.
"Article 12 of the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that "no one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home, or correspondence."
It's that last one that's gotten everyone's attention lately. Just how private is your correspondence online?
Depending on your politics, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden is either a vile turncoat or a revered hero, but either way he has advice on how to stay two steps ahead of the NSA."

The article explains PGP: Pretty Good Privacy. In GNU distributions we have GPG, GNU Privacy Guard.
--- Citer ---GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG or GPG) is a GPL Licensed alternative to the PGP suite of cryptographic software. GnuPG is compliant with RFC 4880, which is the current IETF standards track specification of OpenPGP. Current versions of PGP (and Veridis' Filecrypt) are interoperable with GnuPG and other OpenPGP-compliant systems.
GnuPG is a part of the Free Software Foundation's GNU software project, and has received major funding from the German government.[2]

> Using any encryption on your email will draw suspicion on to you from the Government............. What are you hiding? Even though you are just sending pictures of your cat or a simple email to a friend.
There is one solution: stop to vote for mentally ill people, set them free.
In France, the recueil des lois (sort of log of laws) had 433 pages in 1973. It came to 2 400 pages in 2003 and it counted 3 721 pages in 2004 [1]. Who can possibly think our representatives understand the meaning and the goings of every law they vote for? It's like a whole bunch of nuts sitting in a room, darkening paper sheets and showing them to each other, saying "it makes perfect sense, does it?".
So why this representatives and the government, which is close to representatives, should not sense the "we the people" through their crazy mind and see it like a threat to their duty? Remember, they are the chosen ones.
Do you guys have any place left in your deserts? I need to take a rest and go far away from this society.

Unfortunately, it's the same here in the U.S. In early 2010, the Obamacare bill was up for a vote in the House of Representatives. Nancy Pelosi, who was Speaker of the House at the time, said, "But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what’s in it away from the fog of the controversy." The bill was eventually passed into law, without those voting for the law knowing what was actually in it!
The legislation is the "Affordable Health Care Act", or "ObamaCare". The act will actually increase health care premiums substantially. Having health insurance will be mandatory, not voluntary. Those who have no insurance will be subject to ever increasing fines. Employers will be required to provide health insurance for all full time employees. Under the bill, "full time" is just 30 hours a week. As a result, U.S. employers are firing many full time employees, then rehiring them as part time employees (less than 30 hours a week) to avoid paying the health insurance costs.
There are now so many criminal statutes on the books in the U.S. that the Congressional Research Service told a congressional task force that they simply did not have the manpower and resources required to create a tally of all criminal offenses outlined in the federal criminal code. In the book Three Felonies a Day, the author Harvey A. Silverglate reveals how federal criminal laws have become dangerously disconnected from the English common law tradition and how prosecutors can pin arguable federal crimes on any one of us (in the U.S.), for even the most seemingly innocuous behavior. One can now commit a "criminal act" without intending to or even knowing that the act committed is "criminal".

Yes, the American West still has large expanses of uninhabited land. I'm afraid you may not find any peace there, though.

I was afraid there might be something of the kind, although it seems even worse than what I could imagine. Isn't the "law" and the ones who raise them what we used to call "gangsters"?
