    Then this will make you foam... We block all ad's company wide as well at the firewall. ZERO adverts come into the company and we reduced bandwidth usage by 20%

    And we do it without consent and on Fridays violently.

    Which is why I block ALL ad's on every computer I touch. I have installed adblock plus on every single computer I have to service or use. Until advertisers get scruples, I'm blocking it for everyone I can. To this date it is about 450 people and counting that no longer see ad's online because of me, I hope to hit 1000.

    Because bullshit paid ad's for software are links to scumware installers. Search google for the free software "greenshot" the first two links are to installers and packagers that will fill your computer with all kinds of spyware and crap. a lot of other things are exactly like this.

    non tech savvy users are having problems telling the difference between the scum and the real thing.

    Step 1 when you have a leak. Discredit the source.

    the NSA knows they need to lie through their teeth hard to discredit this as fast as possible and hope that the bulk of the population believes them.

    Step 2 is demonize the source in the eyes of the people. That one is currently underway.

    If he was smart he would go on a starvation diet and start growing facial hair. he could change his looks enough to get past most of the spook net looking for him if he went native in eastern europe and went for rural or even wilderness travel routes.

    Hell you could escape the FBI and all the law enforcement inside the USA if you did it right. Our experts utterly suck at tracking once you step off the roadways. And yes even our drones are garbage for tracking in wilderness. I have everything in my hiking backpack to hide from the best drones the military has easily.

    What makes the Police/FBI lucky is that 95% of the time the people they chase are stupid. it's that 5% prepared and smart ones that they never ever find.

    You sure as hell wanted out Levis and our T-shirts. I traded my clothes in 1988 for at least $10,000 worth of fine clothing in Italy and Germany. All of you desperately wanted to dress like americans to the point that you would pay $150US (1988 money) for a single pair of jeans.

    Exactly, the initial reporters that were talking about him being a "true american hero" all have completely shut up and some have retracted their statements quickly.

    Real journalism in the USA has been dead for a very long time. You do what you are told and report as expected.

    Mostly because they are on power trips and they will not be reigned in because the typical american is a scared little girl and LIKES draconian laws that make them feel safe.

    Ask 10 Americans if they will trade freedoms in the constitution for more safety and security, and 6 of them will gladly give up MOST freedoms for it in a heart beat.

    Ban Guns, Ban Soda, Ban Fatty foods, Ban criminals, regular neighborhood sweeps for your protection, checkpoints, etc.. Most americans are for them if they are attached to a promise of less crime and more safety.

    OMG! If I let the cops set up checkpoints all over the city and I have to prove that I belong where I am and it eliminates the possibility of my house being robbed? WHERE DO I SIGN UP!!! OMG !! OMG!!

    "So in other words: There is absolutely NOTHING AT ALL you can do? Any suggestions yourself, then?"

    Yes I do.

    1 - you MUST abandon any OS that does not give you complete control of the networking. Linux or BSD or it's derivatives is required.
    2 - you MUST never surf from home. Always use coffee shops and other places not attached to you
    3 - you MUST use non US VPN servers. to get your traffic outside the USA before it it's the internet unencrypted, Again use several of them.
    4 - Encrypted communications channels. refuse to use anything that is not encrypted. Better ones are NSA/CIA/FBI proof
    5 - realize that you really are not important at all. you posting photos of your cat is not of interest at all to the CIA.
