ATTENTION: Operation Prism in Action
Friends and Associates:
This is a very important alert for you to NOT click on any PDF link that appears to be from a trusted contact/friend, etc.
I
have confirmed that recent emails with (one line statements) asserting
that "you must open to read important confidential information" or
something similar, along with the sender's name, which may include
his/her home address and phone number (to add validity) to the hack
job....is an attack.
I have
been informed....the attacker (government or other) collects your
entire contact list, when you click on the link....and then uses that
contact list to send you and everyone you know, a similar email.
"Operation Prism" (exposed by Edward Snowden) does exactly that ! The program builds a complete list of all those connected.
It
is my duty....to express my opinions and comments under my 1st
amendment rights. I will NOT be intimidated by this rogue government,
operating under complete fear and paranoia of the population.
ALL
OF YOU have a few or many very important / high profile contacts...both
in the media, military, and controversial organizations. NONE of which
(I hope) are U.S. al Qaeda / ISIS related.
IF
YOU ever get an email from me, with NO COMMENTARY and ONLY a link with
maybe a one sentence line...BEWARE. Ignore it, but inform me (or others)
that you might receive the same from.
NOTE: I check ALL email links that I provide in my eBlasts.
We ARE making a difference and influencing the campaign, if not the tyranny being shoved down our throats.
Don't let the NSA or whomever, screw with your mind, slow you down, shut you up, or destroy your computer.
Beware of how bad they want your contacts and proceed with caution.
God Bless America and damn the communists / traitors !

PRISM is a clandestine[1] surveillance program under which the United States National Security Agency (NSA) collects internet communications from at least nine major US internet companies.[2][3][4]
Since 2001 the United States government has increased its scope for
such surveillance, and so this program was launched in 2007.
PRISM is a government code name for a data-collection effort known officially by the SIGAD US-984XN.[5][6] The PRISM program collects stored internet communications based on demands made to internet companies such as Google Inc. under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to turn over any data that match court-approved search terms.[7] The NSA can use these PRISM requests to target communications that were encrypted when they traveled across the internet backbone, to focus on stored data that telecommunication filtering systems discarded earlier,[8][9] and to get data that is easier to handle, among other things.[10]
PRISM began in 2007 in the wake of the passage of the Protect America Act under the Bush Administration.[11][12] The program is operated under the supervision of the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA Court, or FISC) pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).[13] Its existence was leaked six years later by NSA contractor Edward Snowden,
who warned that the extent of mass data collection was far greater than
the public knew and included what he characterized as "dangerous" and
"criminal" activities.[14] The disclosures were published by The Guardian and The Washington Post on June 6, 2013. Subsequent documents have demonstrated a financial arrangement between NSA's Special Source Operations division (SSO) and PRISM partners in the millions of dollars.[15]
Documents
indicate that PRISM is "the number one source of raw intelligence used
for NSA analytic reports", and it accounts for 91% of the NSA's internet
traffic acquired under FISA section 702 authority."[16][17]
The leaked information came to light one day after the revelation that
the FISA Court had been ordering a subsidiary of telecommunications
company Verizon Communications to turn over to the NSA logs tracking all of its customers' telephone calls.[18][19]
U.S. government officials have disputed some aspects of the Guardian and Washington Post stories and have defended the program by asserting it cannot be used on domestic targets without a warrant, that it has helped to prevent acts of terrorism, and that it receives independent oversight from the federal government's executive, judicial and legislative branches.[20][21] On June 19, 2013, U.S.
President Barack Obama,
during a visit to Germany, stated that the NSA's data gathering
practices constitute "a circumscribed, narrow system directed at us
being able to protect our people."[22
