    Now you know not to search on Google regarding planned acts of terrorism against the establishment tyranny. But what the heck are you doing searching on Google anyway?

    We know that police and courts don’t believe in fourth amendment protections, especially when it comes to people they really want to convict. The problem is, when they justify illegally obtained evidence for child molesters and serial killers, then it’s easy to justify the same for illegal parkers in non-white neighborhoods, or persons protesting against law enforcement overreach.

    And that’s why the state of the US engages in the same indictments that are listed in the US Declaration of Independence.

      planned acts of terrorism

      Like the British guy who booked a flight to the US and tweeted something like “gonna destroy America”, and his thoughtless comment about bar hopping turned into an extra uncomfortable TSA screening. If only he had stuck to threatening vandalism, perhaps “painting the town red”

      I’m a computer engineer with over 30 years of experience. If I’d want to be a terrorist, they can Monitor google, and they wouldn’t find me. They can decrypt WhatsApp and a few others and they’d still not find me. They wouldn’t be able to find anyone halfway capable.

      What they WOULD find is a lot of people just going about their day.

      Makes you wonder who they’re trying to target with all this shit.

      Banning encryption won’t stop child porn, not even a little bit

      Monitoring google won’t stop terrorism (or child porn) not even a little bit

      Can we please Please PLEASE make a law that requires politicians to know what they’re taking about? If a politician votes about banning encryption, he either know what it does and why it works or if he doesn’t know, he.doesnt get to vote.
