Makes you think, the hazards of stupid laws. So if I put a ladies sign on the toilet in my own home, as a male, am I breaking the law if I use it. Those signs were meant to be nothing more than a recommendation and requirement by the owners of the premises, their premises their rules. Creating laws is crazy, use the toilet don't use the toilet, as long as you are only using the toilet and not interfering with anyone, so what?
Don't both be dicks, front page news of mains stream media owned by communist corporations, what there are none, all those major media corporations are pretty much down right fascist in their political outlook and only report what is called 'left wing' social justice issues as distraction needed to break up labour for exploitation. Uncle Tom Obama was far right, of a bankster appointed far right administration, fuck Obama was further right than Ronny Raygun. What far right main stream media is trying to hide is the corporate democrats and the corporate republicans are exactly the same kind of people, taking the same money and pushing the same corporate causes, just using and abusing empty bullshit social justice issues.
What these corporations want is the right to invade everyone's privacy as much as possible and the legal protection to psychologically manipulate people regardless of the harm caused, so that the corporations can make them do what ever the corporations demand that they do. Now if the government wants that information and access, than those fucking piece of shit corporations do not want government to do it, they want the government to pay the corporations to do it. Those corporations are truly worthless pieces of shit.
Gaming is by far the cheapest kind of entertainment, the only other kind of entertainment that would be cheaper is masturbation, now that is the key to where all the money goes. The insane demands about how much you must spend to achieve non-reproductive mutual masturbation. Clothes, personal adornments, cosmetics, and splurging on the night out, this driven into youth again and again and again in the most psychologically damaging way possible, fail to spend enough and you are a worthless failure, resulting in a single weekend out costing more that an entire year of computer gaming.
Reality is capitalism, marketing, corrupt governance are all psychopathically designed to strip youth of the minds and their wealth and then the gods of capitalism complain when youth are broke, not because they give one shit about those youth, capitalism thinks it great to send them to kill others and die themselves to enrich the profits of corporations, but because there is nothing left to take.
Do not blame the victims of a corrupt society when it is the society that is broken from the top down, blame those who control that corrupt society, who designed it to service them and only them, who corrupt the public mind space with their sicknesses as the norm.
Want a stable society, have stable employment, providing a stable income which properly informed youth can invest into a, surprise, surprise stable society. Want an insane corrupt society, designed to strip as many people of their wealth as possible, to bleed the society dry to feed your insane insatiable greed, well, don't complain you already have it.
Trick is you do not need to get rid of the watermark, because people are idiots and have forgetten the real reason for watermarks, all you have to do is overwrite them, obfuscate them (watermarks are meant to protected to prove worth, so destroying them is meant to destroy the implied worth).
Other protection they could apply, make the viewers house liable ie content gets copied they can immediately seize possession of your house. What no one will buy the shitty content then, defeating the whole exercise in the first place. This lesson apparently needs to be taught again and again and again but the greed driven stupidity of the insanely greedy always seems to win out. If you make the conditions for viewing the content too onerous people will not buy that content, done and finished, at least not in any worthwhile numbers. It's like meh, fuck it, typing in the code, taking a timed selfie and uploading it, providing blood and hair samples, making sure there are not people in the house unauthorised to view the content, gouging the eyes out of guests who accidentally saw that content, destroying the device the content was viewed within five seconds after the content was viewed, ahh fuck it, if I want to play mission impossible I would rather play the computer game.
Want to 100% get rid of piracy, too bloody easy, get rid of copyright and you are done. Besides they already break the law with copyright as none of the content is adjudged to be of public worth and that is not about printing money, that is about the public worth of the content. As it stand most copyright is copy theft because that content has not proven it's public worth and thus failed to prove worth protecting at public expence, not juts buying that content but also paying for it's protection.
Message to the pigopolists, fuck off, your time is done, more than enough content can be created without copyright protection so you are not needed any more, suck it the fuck up.
I can guarantee 100% no more leaks, too fucking easy, no more secrets. Lets be honest those leaks have done more service to the public than those secrets. Secrets at every level, secrets hiding corruption, secrets hiding murder, secrets hiding corruption, secrets hiding depraved sexual acts, secrets hiding corruption, secrets hiding drug dealing, secrets hiding corruption, secrets hiding arms trading and still even more secrets hiding corruption (there is a whole bunch of corruption being hidden behind falsely applied national security and in fact it is it the interest of national security that those secrets be released).
Most of the leaking is a result of blatantly corrupt political appointees engaging in criminal activity with their agencies much to the anger of full time staff for whom the words honour and integrity have real meaning. So how many corrupt pieces of shit were prosecuted for the false war for profit in Iraq, how about 11/9 (11 of September) discrepancies, how about major banskter fraud, how about selling access to government via fraudulent charities, how about pizza weirdness, how about torture to purposefully create false testimony and on it goes, high level corruption all protected by secrets and national security. A whole lot more leaking should be going on and leaks about the real stuff, their profound sickness and perversions at the highest level, the insane greed and lust for power, lets get it all.
That is old world media bullshit from the last millennium, the previous centuries media state. I give you http://www.internetlivestats.c... the internet. I billion web sites, thanks to weird ideas by backwards Americans, 1 billion in this case not being a million million but only a thousand million. Looking at one per second it would take, well, a billion seconds just to click on them, let alone read every page.
Reality is people only go where they want to go. No surprise taking over of people's minds and turning them into terrorists, they go to the worst sites because they already have an interest or they are just bored, either way, no new terrorist created, the terrorist is already there just seeking confirmation of their own crazy assed bullshit.
There is a whole lot of whining going on about it in main stream media because, instead of being in control and being able to extort billions for access to the public mind space, they are just another web site, just another bunch of bloggers and when subject to more competition, well, actually, much, much, much (boy, I could type that a whole bunch of times and still not cover it) competition and they are starting to look like real corrupt bogus shite selling corporate propaganda lies as the truth, full of wank psuedo celebrities, utter narcissists, full of delusional fucking stars and bullshit musical geniuses, oh my.
The big complaint in reality, old main stream media channels are no longer able to dominate and extort billions for access to the public mind space, neither are governments. Suck it up fellas, pandoras box is open and the general public is accessible to the general public and they are finding out, they do not like what the fuck is going on with the insanely rich and and greedy, as well as their corrupt political buddies.
Reality is the more the internet exposes the better off we are and not the other way around.
I find Firefox to be far more functional prime example https://adnauseam.io/ , clicking all those ads so that you do not have to, flooding data mining perves and freaks with bullshit data. Which is exactly why Google is definitely not to be trusted.
To be fair business end users treat IT staff like shit blaming them for everything wrong with the crap coding produced by software companies. To be fair staff get rightly pissed off when their work is destroyed by the computer system approved by IT staff. To be fair the IT staff have no real choice in the software deployed and according to all the warranties, all software currently out on the market is shit and is not worth buying (read the warranty). Problem, neither the business users nor the IT staff, get to vent their spleen at crappy software makers, creating unfair psychological stresses which generate conflict between business users and IT staff. General solution IT staff supply a copy of the software warranties to business end users, highlighting the most egregious parts of the warranty, that basically state the software is shit and you are an idiot if you expected it to be fit for purpose and that is every single fucking warranty.
Ideally good computer security staff should spend the bulk of their time doing nothing because they created a pretty secure system and keep the security maintenance up. So making use of the idle time makes a lot of sense and keeps them in contact with the system. The more you have, the better you are able to get things up and running again when you finally do get hit. Problem really skilled IT staff get really bored doing nothing but tech support and can become rather mischievous.
Keep them busy, have them fool around with honey pots, collecting evidence and seeking prosecutions for those catch in the act.
Meh, who cares, mountain out of a mole hill. News at eleven corrupt lobbyists and corrupt politician attempt to write constitutional challenged laws that would empower corporations to enslave and attack citizens, the flaw, something to do with search warrants and how they are carried out, you know, no search warrant, no search, no removal, no nothing. Also affects possession laws, with no proof required of right of possession to denies others the active possession. What could possibly go wrong with writing stupid laws, that enable corporations to act as, judge, jury and executioner, with no right of defence for the victim.
People are talking about returning hacks, how about stand your ground laws. A corporate tech expert attacks your network, to defend it, you enter his office and shoot them in the face, it's the law, it's defence of property and there is no denial of the attack and it's intent, so how does it balance out with stand your ground laws and defence of your property.
Stupid bought of politician, puts their name to stupid paper that a stupid lobbyists wrote, paid of by corporations seeking more power over citizens to own and control them and it all ends up in the bin but the lobbyists walks away with tons of money.
More accurately, training, to get the gullible fools used to paying a windows anal probe 10 subscription, stop paying and they brick your electronic devices, make you pay a major fee to re initiate service and then pay subscription a year in advance and then a bond and then any other fees and charges they can invent, including a percentage of all credit card purchases validated on a windows anal probe 10 devices.
You kind of have to accept reddit for what it is, not a place to exchange interesting and challenging thoughts and ideas, just a public digital graffiti wall that pretends it has rules. So really arbitrary as to what graffiti survives, what gets painted over and what get removed, don't expect much from it and you will be rewarded with exactly that, only really for the odd chuckle.
What a public forum, accept that you can not censor it, all you can do is let the courts censor it for you. It all stays up until a court says it is illegal, and what the say is illegal is taken down. It is not the fault of the forum moderators that the court process is so, so, slow, the courts themselves are the only ones who should be liable for the delay in applying the law.
Still kind of seems stupid to waste all that science on tomato plant making better tomatoes, when constructing from scratch you can getter algae to produce storage pods the create the perfect tomato fruit, no seeds, a cross between the flesh carrying the seed and the rest of the fruit, really fast growing, no allergens, lots of vital trace elements built into the fruit, the perfect size, maybe even squarish for a better sandwich slice. All producible in a storage tank, close to demand and at high volumes.
Seriously why waste time fucking with existing vegetables, fruit, grain, meat, what ever, when you can engineer algae to do it all for us. If you think of algae more as the kelp variety https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., if makes it more apparent how every part, the leaf, the stalk, the storage pods, can all be DNA engineered to produce what ever you want, in high volumes with very low allergens, actual super foods. Any flavour, any texture and any range of trace elements, as well as of course sugars and proteins.
Oh yeah, because super hackable drones that can be taken over by anyone at any time are a great idea. I mean no criminal hacker would hack that drone first, in mid air, secure it from hacking and then fly it at the head of the target, leaving the owner of the drone to blame and the incompetent police left looking like idiots. Why, oh, why, does it need to be explained to computer illiterate types why computers should not be super hackable, why back doors are a disaster waiting to happen (take note of two recent major attacks that can all be tied to the wilful criminal negligence and incompetence of the NSA and CIA).
The delusion of power the ignorant think they will have controlling everyone's computer will soon evaporate when someone else hacks control and turns those device on the authorities. The craziness of it all, it will happen, it is guaranteed to happen, uses devices for authoritarian control and those devices will be turned against their masters, a guaranteed probability over time outcome.
The website it is sourced from simply hugely biased the story to M$, who are providing nothing, basically just another company accessing the now royalty free hardware design. M$ will of course shit on about not providing thunderbolt to older versions of windows, as far as they are concerned either pay for the probe or fuck off. Intel will of course make the driver directly accessible but in the end by far the majority of thunderbolt connections will be android, then apple and then windows anal probe 10 in third place and falling further and further behind and good riddance.
That's funny I can imagine the number target for hackery would be robot police officers, there could be no better crime tool. A criminal device with the authority of state, inherently, wildly at risk because it must be wireless and you want to secure anything, I mean seriously secure, you do not connect it wirelessly to anything especially in a metropolitan area where hackers could be hiding anywhere. Of course hack one and you can immediately hack many and well, chaos would be an understatement.
The electoral college is inherently corrupt, it's sole purpose is to steal election, give a temporary faÃade of legality whilst martial law is brought into being because the corrupt establishment lost power to the people and want it back. In the case of current US election the bulk of the corruption as has been amply demonstrated occurs during the primaries when the elections are stacked with corporate stooges. Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Clinton, come on one great big old organised crime gang, front players in the con, with the deep state a composite of the military industrial complex and the banking sector, together with ownership main stream media and the mass insertion of CIA agents into main stream media. All the current bullshit around trump is about destabilising the US government to prevent investigation and prosecution of the Clinton's and their crime crew.
Robot police officers are way off from being deployable, this is just a mobile part of the panopticon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., with the streets of your society as the prison. A suppression device so that the public can continually be spied upon and monitored. The prime reason for continual monitoring, so that any political activist, can be targeted as early as possible when the oppose the establishment.
The only reality there, the Clinton Crime Crew trying to fend off prosecution by targeting Trump with ohh look laughable connections straight out of the Fox New Network propaganda style. American news media is so tainted as to be worthless, you might as well be linking to childrens comics.
All this article points to is the growing Mcarthyism being pursued by the establishment, oppose them and you are a Russian spy, all so boring pathetically apparent. They will continue to run Russia baiting so they can target anyone at any level in main stream media as colluding with Russia, the lies are all so lame.
Readying for the Democrat primaries, establishment the religious patriots and the champions of 'er' the corporations and those that oppose them agents of Russia, owned by Russian oligarchs. So laughably lame.
Who is getting who, the election was between the lessor evil and the lessor evil where a vote for the greater evil could have only gone to Cthulhu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., good thing it was running else it would have won, although how much of greater evil Cthulhu would be compared to the ones that ran for the election would be questionable. It's not like any laws that are put in cannot not be taken out and they will be. Lets be serious, nightmare government, that was that backstabbing bullshit Uncle Tom Obama won, the corporate teleprompter reading government, a more murderous one there could have not been and no excuse of being an imbecile Shrub, the Uncle Tom knew exactly how he was destroying workers and the middle class to favour his benefactors in order to get multi-millions in corporate kickbacks in retirement.
You got the government produced by corporate corruption of the Democrats and defrauded primaries to serve the establishment and deep state and not one hint of prosecution for blatantly cheating in the elections. A the corrupt establishment is still waffling shit about Russia as an act of desperate to fend of investigations and prosecutions of them all under the Clinton Crime Clan.
You know there was an explicit Democrat Campaign email about how they were going bullshit on and on about the Russian government interfering with US elections and ohh look. The US administration is full of corrupt political appointee all pushing their own interests, all looking to get bribes from where ever they can get them and finally, and this is the good bit, all pointing the finger at each other for being corrupt, which is of course quite true.
There is world of difference between Russian oligarchs and the Russia government. A whole bunch of corrupt Americans have taken money from the Russian oligarchy and nothing what so ever to do with the Russian government, look at the way Putin handles oligarchs (even demands the pen back), the exact opposite of the way US presidents crawl after their oligarchs. The seems to confuse Americans, American Oligarchs are the US government and Russian Oligarchs are not, hence collusion with Russian Oligarchs is not collusion with the Russian government, where as collusion with American Oligarchs is collusion with the US government.
The US has committed so many crimes in so many countries corrupting so many democracy in rampant corrupt service of US corporate greed, it no wonder they have become so confused about what is a crime and what is not, what are the laws, and what are not, they spend so much time making things up and having a corrupt supreme court rubber stamp it, with main stream media providing the script, none of them seem to know what is going on any more.
Hey moron, it is not about support, it is about shit programming and after years and years, still failing to fix it properly. People paid for working software not shit programming that would never be fixed, The law should be fix it or open source it, no right to never fix broken programming. Either M$ finally, finally fixes their shit coding or the open the source when the give up trying, so that other people can fix it.
It is entirely corrupt to think you can just abandon bugs and security failures because you are greedy and apparently incompetent programmers. What a fucking lie, support a special favour, fucker it is bug fixing that in car terminology would earn you lemon status, full refunds and bankruptcy. Fixing shitty broken code is not support that is normal sane warranty requirements. You fuckers at M$ keep working on it until it is finally fixed and working properly or open source the code so more competent people can do it.
Well, yeah, that is exactly correct. When I bought my first and still only smart phone a note 3, I wanted all the other things other than mobile phone service. A stylus because manly fingers get in the way, a bigger screen because older eyes, expandable storage (don't have to fuss with stored images and video, just keep adding it), a user removable battery because I am not a gullible fool to be sold a scam, satnav, camera, video recorder and the phone bit well that is just a chip. To be honest I want to make calls but not receive them, I tend to turn off the phone when I am not using it or leave it in another room, with the door closed.
Brain drain does not represent politics, brain drain is a response to the other symptoms of corrupt governance and not just at federal level but across the board down to the tiniest county. What that corruption produces is shitty infrastructure, cheap ugly for profit law enforcement, toxic pollution, fucked up for profit charter schools, exorbitantly expensive medical services, inflated for profit higher education, corrupt banks and insane religiosity making . All of those combine to make the US a less desirably destination than all other 'western countries' the only the US leads in is out of control greed and being a global parasite.
So yeah, the great escape to places like Australia, Canada, the UK, New Zealand (all offering a better quality of life, some much better) and that is without learning a new language (just forgetting an old one, American exceptionalism). Adding in learning new languages and the world opens up, France, Japan and for the much more adventurous Russia (lots of interesting things happening in the Crimea).
America will get the greediest and the rest of the world will get the best. So combinant effect, brain drain of honourable people will still be filled with psychopaths, so yep, collapse is inevitable, just numbers, probabilities over time. It's called trickle down, where the insanely rich American psychopaths piss on the middle class (the poor get the run off), turning them into the poor and then US society collapses.
The NSA can only be used by the American government for political spying, the British conservatives can not use the NSA or 5 eyes collectively for politically based spying. Basically this is just conservative politics law enforcers using their power for political purposes. The real warning, how far will they go to target the most effective political campaigners, a murderous arrest, they had to be safe, targeted law enforcements attacks against the whole family of the targeted political campaigner, fabrication of false evidence (reinforcement chairs become caltrops, empty bottles and a can of lawn mower fuel become a molotov cocktail fabrication facility, water recycling becomes biological weapons production), repeatedly violently targeting the specific individuals at protests, ensuring the unemployability for security reasons including their entire family.
It is crap to defend criminal politically based behaviour by law enforcers because that does lead to assassination by law enforcers during false arrests, that is exactly where politically based law enforcement spying leads. A sure sign of an extremely corrupt government.

I mean no criminal hacker would hack that drone first, in mid air, secure it from hacking and then fly it at the head of the target, leaving the owner of the drone to blame and the incompetent police left looking like idiots. Why, oh, why, does it need to be explained to computer illiterate types why computers should not be super hackable, why back doors are a disaster waiting to happen (take note of two recent major attacks that can all be tied to the wilful criminal negligence and incompetence of the NSA and CIA).
The delusion of power the ignorant think they will have controlling everyone's computer will soon evaporate when someone else hacks control and turns those device on the authorities. The craziness of it all, it will happen, it is guaranteed to happen, uses devices for authoritarian control and those devices will be turned against their masters, a guaranteed probability over time outcome.
The website it is sourced from simply hugely biased the story to M$, who are providing nothing, basically just another company accessing the now royalty free hardware design. M$ will of course shit on about not providing thunderbolt to older versions of windows, as far as they are concerned either pay for the probe or fuck off. Intel will of course make the driver directly accessible but in the end by far the majority of thunderbolt connections will be android, then apple and then windows anal probe 10 in third place and falling further and further behind and good riddance.
That's funny I can imagine the number target for hackery would be robot police officers, there could be no better crime tool. A criminal device with the authority of state, inherently, wildly at risk because it must be wireless and you want to secure anything, I mean seriously secure, you do not connect it wirelessly to anything especially in a metropolitan area where hackers could be hiding anywhere. Of course hack one and you can immediately hack many and well, chaos would be an understatement.
The electoral college is inherently corrupt, it's sole purpose is to steal election, give a temporary faÃade of legality whilst martial law is brought into being because the corrupt establishment lost power to the people and want it back. In the case of current US election the bulk of the corruption as has been amply demonstrated occurs during the primaries when the elections are stacked with corporate stooges. Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Clinton, come on one great big old organised crime gang, front players in the con, with the deep state a composite of the military industrial complex and the banking sector, together with ownership main stream media and the mass insertion of CIA agents into main stream media. All the current bullshit around trump is about destabilising the US government to prevent investigation and prosecution of the Clinton's and their crime crew.
Robot police officers are way off from being deployable, this is just a mobile part of the panopticon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., with the streets of your society as the prison. A suppression device so that the public can continually be spied upon and monitored. The prime reason for continual monitoring, so that any political activist, can be targeted as early as possible when the oppose the establishment.
The only reality there, the Clinton Crime Crew trying to fend off prosecution by targeting Trump with ohh look laughable connections straight out of the Fox New Network propaganda style. American news media is so tainted as to be worthless, you might as well be linking to childrens comics.
All this article points to is the growing Mcarthyism being pursued by the establishment, oppose them and you are a Russian spy, all so boring pathetically apparent. They will continue to run Russia baiting so they can target anyone at any level in main stream media as colluding with Russia, the lies are all so lame.
Readying for the Democrat primaries, establishment the religious patriots and the champions of 'er' the corporations and those that oppose them agents of Russia, owned by Russian oligarchs. So laughably lame.
Who is getting who, the election was between the lessor evil and the lessor evil where a vote for the greater evil could have only gone to Cthulhu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., good thing it was running else it would have won, although how much of greater evil Cthulhu would be compared to the ones that ran for the election would be questionable. It's not like any laws that are put in cannot not be taken out and they will be. Lets be serious, nightmare government, that was that backstabbing bullshit Uncle Tom Obama won, the corporate teleprompter reading government, a more murderous one there could have not been and no excuse of being an imbecile Shrub, the Uncle Tom knew exactly how he was destroying workers and the middle class to favour his benefactors in order to get multi-millions in corporate kickbacks in retirement.
You got the government produced by corporate corruption of the Democrats and defrauded primaries to serve the establishment and deep state and not one hint of prosecution for blatantly cheating in the elections. A the corrupt establishment is still waffling shit about Russia as an act of desperate to fend of investigations and prosecutions of them all under the Clinton Crime Clan.
You know there was an explicit Democrat Campaign email about how they were going bullshit on and on about the Russian government interfering with US elections and ohh look. The US administration is full of corrupt political appointee all pushing their own interests, all looking to get bribes from where ever they can get them and finally, and this is the good bit, all pointing the finger at each other for being corrupt, which is of course quite true.
There is world of difference between Russian oligarchs and the Russia government. A whole bunch of corrupt Americans have taken money from the Russian oligarchy and nothing what so ever to do with the Russian government, look at the way Putin handles oligarchs (even demands the pen back), the exact opposite of the way US presidents crawl after their oligarchs. The seems to confuse Americans, American Oligarchs are the US government and Russian Oligarchs are not, hence collusion with Russian Oligarchs is not collusion with the Russian government, where as collusion with American Oligarchs is collusion with the US government.
The US has committed so many crimes in so many countries corrupting so many democracy in rampant corrupt service of US corporate greed, it no wonder they have become so confused about what is a crime and what is not, what are the laws, and what are not, they spend so much time making things up and having a corrupt supreme court rubber stamp it, with main stream media providing the script, none of them seem to know what is going on any more.
Hey moron, it is not about support, it is about shit programming and after years and years, still failing to fix it properly. People paid for working software not shit programming that would never be fixed, The law should be fix it or open source it, no right to never fix broken programming. Either M$ finally, finally fixes their shit coding or the open the source when the give up trying, so that other people can fix it.
It is entirely corrupt to think you can just abandon bugs and security failures because you are greedy and apparently incompetent programmers. What a fucking lie, support a special favour, fucker it is bug fixing that in car terminology would earn you lemon status, full refunds and bankruptcy. Fixing shitty broken code is not support that is normal sane warranty requirements. You fuckers at M$ keep working on it until it is finally fixed and working properly or open source the code so more competent people can do it.
Well, yeah, that is exactly correct. When I bought my first and still only smart phone a note 3, I wanted all the other things other than mobile phone service. A stylus because manly fingers get in the way, a bigger screen because older eyes, expandable storage (don't have to fuss with stored images and video, just keep adding it), a user removable battery because I am not a gullible fool to be sold a scam, satnav, camera, video recorder and the phone bit well that is just a chip. To be honest I want to make calls but not receive them, I tend to turn off the phone when I am not using it or leave it in another room, with the door closed.
Brain drain does not represent politics, brain drain is a response to the other symptoms of corrupt governance and not just at federal level but across the board down to the tiniest county. What that corruption produces is shitty infrastructure, cheap ugly for profit law enforcement, toxic pollution, fucked up for profit charter schools, exorbitantly expensive medical services, inflated for profit higher education, corrupt banks and insane religiosity making . All of those combine to make the US a less desirably destination than all other 'western countries' the only the US leads in is out of control greed and being a global parasite.
So yeah, the great escape to places like Australia, Canada, the UK, New Zealand (all offering a better quality of life, some much better) and that is without learning a new language (just forgetting an old one, American exceptionalism). Adding in learning new languages and the world opens up, France, Japan and for the much more adventurous Russia (lots of interesting things happening in the Crimea).
America will get the greediest and the rest of the world will get the best. So combinant effect, brain drain of honourable people will still be filled with psychopaths, so yep, collapse is inevitable, just numbers, probabilities over time. It's called trickle down, where the insanely rich American psychopaths piss on the middle class (the poor get the run off), turning them into the poor and then US society collapses.
The NSA can only be used by the American government for political spying, the British conservatives can not use the NSA or 5 eyes collectively for politically based spying. Basically this is just conservative politics law enforcers using their power for political purposes. The real warning, how far will they go to target the most effective political campaigners, a murderous arrest, they had to be safe, targeted law enforcements attacks against the whole family of the targeted political campaigner, fabrication of false evidence (reinforcement chairs become caltrops, empty bottles and a can of lawn mower fuel become a molotov cocktail fabrication facility, water recycling becomes biological weapons production), repeatedly violently targeting the specific individuals at protests, ensuring the unemployability for security reasons including their entire family.
It is crap to defend criminal politically based behaviour by law enforcers because that does lead to assassination by law enforcers during false arrests, that is exactly where politically based law enforcement spying leads. A sure sign of an extremely corrupt government.
