Blocking or scrambling govt. surveillance
Submitted by ferroz on Sun, 07/13/2008 - 04:01
I heard on some show that technology will be the only way to help protect us from the abuses of our govt.
Naomi Wolfe, although a hypocrite for voting for Obama, was right about the concept of a fascist shift. We all know about it but by the time everyone else does it will be too late. I believe we are at a point of no return the FISA vote has sealed this country's fate I hope i'm wrong but I don't think I am. My only regret is that i didn't do enough to try and stop it.
My main question: Is there any technology to be able to block the govt. from looking at my e-mails or maybe de-scramble any wire-tapping? Is there a spam blocker for big govt.?

You can encrypt emails, connection and hard drive but...
...it will take some effort.
GPGP is the open source public/private key text encryption of choice for emails. A simple analogy for P/P keys is two people get half of a key you both create. More people can be added. Only those people can decrypt the message.
FireGPG is a plugin for Firefox that simplifies it's usage.
You can run your internet connection through a series of computers to wash the endpoints (sender/receiver) of identity, making you anonymous. It will slow down your surfing, but it works. TOR is a volunteer anonymizer and there is a Firefox/TOR bundle to automate the process.
You can use the free truecrypt to scramble your hard drive data too.
You can learn more by using google or the anoymizing and secure scroggle.com search engine on the keyphrases (FireGPG, TOR firefox, truecrypt, etc). Most of these come as portable versions so you can run them from a thumbdrive. See portableapps.com.
