Google Teams Up With the NSA

"share critical information without violating laws that protect the privacy of Americans' online communications."

What laws, hahaha. They can do whatever they want, and you wont know about it until 50 years later or more? or maybe those files just get burned.

"said the alliance(Scary and treacherous) is being designed to allow the two organizations to share critical information without violating Google's policies or laws that protect the privacy of Americans' online communications."....For now, until big brother needs a little favor.

As if Google needs technical support from the blundering government.

if this is important to you I'd recommend trying a few things

a) don't use IE, use firefox. Get a firefox switch rendering engine to IE addon for the pages that might work in IE only
here is one
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/35

b) in the top right of firefox where your google search bar is, delete the temptation. Delete google as a search engine and replace it with Ixquick which can be found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/12781

c) Get the addon Ghostery to block all the third party web tracking and analyzers that can be found everywhere, even here at the DP
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9609

Note however with Ghostery some people experience a hanging bug when closing firefox. If this makes it not worth it's use to you then ok but it's very simple to shut it down by Ctrl-Alt-Del and ending the firefox process. To me the bug is not worth not using it but to each his own.

anyhow, hope this helps

to the NASA / CISCO team here:

and the Verichip / Steel Vault team here:

and you have three points of containment. One will create the physical tracking device (Verichip-Steel Vault), the other will create the mental (online investigative or communicative) tracking device (Google - NSA), and the final will wrap it all up in a global "real time" tracking and monitoring system (NASA/Cisco).

There will be sure to be more of this imprisonment as banks and investment houses merge, governments merge both locally and internationally. One world, one idea, one mindset - and if you ain't for it, then you're against it. What happens to those who are against it?

Here is a good little program you can add to your browser. It is called neotrace. It is a pinging program to show all the nodes your signal goes through to the final destination. It has a gui interface, so it is straight forward. It will show if your info. is going to Washington etc.. Before I post a message on a site I always check to make sure uncle sugar isn't watching. You can add the neotrace icon to your browser and trace the site you are currently on. P.S., startpage pings out to a site in Europe, and google's signal goes through Washington. This is not to say Washington is the only listening station, but just one of them.
The very nature of the internet software is designed to snoop on you. Your ISP most likely has a running record of everything you've done on the internet. Now the NSA will not have to get a court order to snoop on you, it will be by default automatic. You can download it here:

Check out Startpage.com

You can add it to your browser as the default search engine in your search bar if you like. Personally, I find the results are more accurate and do not contain the fluff that Google puts out.

And most importantly, they don't record your IP address. At all.

You can also open sites from the search through a proxy. Though that is a bit slower.

The sources said the deal does not mean the NSA will be viewing users' searches or e-mail accounts or that Google will be sharing proprietary data.

I can't stop laughing...
