Cybersecurity for the People: 
   How to Protect Your Privacy at a Protest

Cybersecurity for the People: 
   How to Protect Your Privacy at a Protest https://youtube.com/watch?v=6FS0Y7TwArE
Planning on going to a protest? You might not be aware that just by showing up, you can open yourself up to certain privacy risks — police often spy on protesters, and the smartphones they carry, and no matter how peaceful the demonstration, there’s always a chance that you could get detained or arrested, and your devices could get searched.

Prepare your phone before you go to a protest to safely communicate with your friends and document the event, and know what to do if you get detained or arrested.

Whether your private conversations are personal, professional, or political, what you say or type into your phone may be of interest to snooping governments, both foreign and domestic.

Fortunately, privacy is a fundamental human right. Unfortunately, most ways that people communicate with their phones — voice calls, SMS messages, email, Facebook, Skype, Hangouts, etc. — are not as private as you might think.

But it’s possible to make sure that your private conversations are actually private. It starts with installing an app known as Signal, and getting your friends to install it too.

More detailed instructions for using Signal can be found on our website at: https://theintercept.com/2017/05/01/cyber...

● Who To Blame for Trump

#WhoToBlame #2016

Who To Blame for Trump: in order . . .

1. GOP & the donor class - obviously
2. The Corporate Media - for its corporate bias
3. Republican Voters - obviously
4. liberal non-voters - for masking laziness with self-righteousness *
5. conservative non-voters - for having opinions
6. The DNC - for sabotaging their best candidate
7. Centrist Democratic Voters in the primaries - for ignoring the issues, strategy, and what it means to be liberal
8. conservative 3rd party voters - for voting while not believing in it
9. liberal 3rd party voters (in swing states) - for feeling good about doing nothing to stop this tragedy on the one day they could’ve done something
10. ourselves - for not doing enough

#SharedBlame
* If you’re in a non-swing-state, that’s
  understandable. But, a Green Party
  vote, in that case, would make more
  of a statement, than doing nothing.
* If you don't believe in voting, you're
  conservative.

● The Corporation

● The Corporation 
by Mark Achbar, Jennifer Abbott, & Joel Bakan The Corporation - 10th Anniversary Cut from Cinema Politica on Vimeo

This thought provoking, witty, stylish and sweepingly informative film, explores the nature and spectacular rise of the dominant institution of our time. Part film and part movement, The Corporation is transforming audiences and dazzling critics with its insightful and compelling analysis. Taking its status as a legal "person" to the logical conclusion, the film puts the corporation on the psychiatrist's couch to ask "What kind of person is it?" The Corporation includes interviews with 40 corporate insiders and critics - including Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Milton Friedman, Howard Zinn, Vandana Shiva and Michael Moore - plus true confessions, case studies and strategies for change. // Mark Achbar & Jennifer Abbott, Canada, 2003, 145' // Half of all proceeds from the rental of this video go directly to the artist, and half go to support the work of Cinema Politica.

Another great documentary by Mark Achbar, is the film Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, based on the Edward Herman / Noam Chomsky book titled Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media, which also explores the propaganda model of the corporate media.

"The question in brief is whether democracy and freedom are values to be preserved [for the 99%] or threats to be avoided [to the 1%]. In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than values to be treasured; they may well be essential to survival."
-Noam Chomsky
