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

   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...

Little Known Military Thug Squad
“A little known Military Thug Squad is still brutalizing prisoners at Gitmo under Obama” -Jeremy Scahill

Jeremy Scahill reports the Obama administration is continuing to use a notorious military police unit at Guantanamo that regularly brutalizes unarmed prisoners, including gang-beating them, breaking their bones, gouging their eyes and dousing them with chemicals. This force, officially known as the Immediate Reaction Force, has been labeled the “Extreme Repression Force” by Guantanamo prisoners and human rights lawyers.

The American people have to wake up to the reality of the corruption that pervades our government. U.S. citizens will eventually realize that being American doesn't mean having blind faith in anything, be it religion, unregulated markets, or an increasing militaristic authoritarian corporate rule. It is our responsibility to ensure that our institutions, our government and businesses, do not violate the civil liberties of anyone anywhere. Every country that has tortured outside their boarders, eventually tortures within their boarders. Businesses that abuse workers outside their country's boarders, always lead the way to further abuse and lowering working conditions within their own country's boarders. "What goes around, comes around," is not just a saying but, in this case, a lesson from history. If we don't want to do what's right simply because it's right, we should at least do it because it's smart.

We must push to prosecute war crimes.

Winter Soldier on the Hill:
War Veterans Testify Before Congress
War veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan went to Capitol Hill last year to testify before Congress to give an eyewitness account of the horrors of war. “Winter Soldier on the Hill” was similar to the Winter Soldier hearings in March of 2008, when more than 200 service members gathered for four days in Silver Spring, Maryland to give their eyewitness accounts of the injustices occurring in Iraq and Afghanistan (and Detroit 1971 VVAW's testimonies of the atrocities of Vietnam War) was designed to drive home the human cost of war and occupation. “Winter Soldier on the Hill” in 2008 testified to the very people in charge of doing something about it.

“Winter Soldier on the Hill”

With a new administration in power, after we voted for change, concerning war policies, the question is... Did we get what we voted for? Of course, Barack Obama is different from Bush, but is the difference enough concerning the wars in Irag and Afghanistan. Is simply moving the war from one to the other what we voted for? When 25% of the homeless are war veterans, and still with 18 U.S. veterans a day committing suicide, along with the continuation of war crimes, we can't just look away and simply fall inline with our government's war policies.

We must always question and reject destructive policies, and we must recognize the most effect propaganda slogan of all time, "SUPPORT THE TROOPS" because it is used for any war, at anytime, for any reason. It is effective because it turns our attention away from the real questions of whether or not we support our government's policy of war. To say that someone doesn't care about the soldiers because they want to end a war is completely absurd. And, to think that our government only goes to war for just reasons is naive and stems from a selfish perception and desire to want to believe that our own country could never get that bad. But of course, the peace movement is not that naive, but we must engage ourselves in conversation with those who are, without being condescending. They will eventually realize that being American doesn't mean having blind faith in anything, be it religion, unregulated markets, or the increasing militaristic authoritarian corporate rule.
