(25. Dezember 2009) „Dieser abscheuliche Akt (…) zeigt das gewalttätige und hinterlistige Gesicht der Aufständischen“, erklärte die Nato-geführte Isaf in einer am Freitag in Kabul verbreiteten Erklärung.

(25.12.2009) Nach Angaben des US-Militärs, was offensichtlich bei ihrer weltweiten Internetspionage irgendeinen dsl-upload vom Hindukusch übersehen hat, verlas zu einem unbestimmten Zeitpunkt der vermeintliche “Entführte” (Name: Bowe Bergdahl. Alter: 23. Aufgabe: die Verbreitung von Schrecken) eine vorgefertigte Erklärung, die im US-Machtbereich in der Presse landete, wie im Himmel, so auch in der “Faz”:

“Ich fürchte, ich muss euch sagen, dass uns dieser Krieg aus den Händen geglitten ist. Afghanistan wird das nächste Vietnam, wenn das amerikanische Volk nicht aufsteht, um diesem Wahnsinn ein Ende zu setzen.“

Verstehen Sie?! Sie sind ein Taliban. Los, sprechen Sie dem US-Militär in den Händen der “Taliban” in der Nato-Presse nach:

“Ich bin ein Taliban. Weil ich gegen den Krieg bin.”

U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl at one point during his captivity converted to Islam, fraternized openly with his captors and declared himself a „mujahid,“ or warrior for Islam, according to secret documents prepared on the basis of a purported eyewitness account and obtained by Fox News.

(03. Juni) We encourage you to find tips about choosing strong passwords and adding another layer of protection to your account in our Safety Center. And check out Reset the Net, a broad coalition of organizations, companies and individuals coming together this week to promote stronger security practices on the web; we’re happy to be a participant in that effort.

By Ron Bell, General Counsel (…)

We have accomplished much, but we can’t fight this battle alone. Now is the time for the US Senate to act quickly to end bulk collection. Internet users deserve to enjoy the same protections that apply to other areas of our lives. We urge the Senate to pass legislation that reforms US government surveillance programs and clearly ends bulk collection. The Senate can’t let another year go by without passing this critical legislation.

Users can take actions to protect themselves and call for reform, too. Check out Reset the Net to learn how to make security and privacy a priority in your online activities, and tweet #ResetTheNet to lend your voice to the campaign to end mass government surveillance.

While Congress continues to consider legislative reform, in the marketplace Twitter continues our longstanding policy of providing our users with enhanced security to protect their privacy. For instance, since early 2012, all connections between Twitter users and our servers have been protected by HTTPS. More recently, we implemented TLS forward secrecy to improve the security of our connections, and in early 2013, we implemented DMARC, a way to prevent bad actors from spoofing email to our users. These security measures and practices are important, and other initiatives, such as Reset The Net, highlight the need for improvements across industry and government.

In addition to these efforts, strong legislation is essential to reform. The Congress should pass and the President should sign a strong, meaningful reform bill.

The Internet is what me make it

As a consequence of these findings, we have made the decision to implement Opportunistic Encryption, which means that we will attempt to negotiate a TLS connection to the destination mail server. If that’s not possible, we will fall back to an unencrypted connection.

We have also notified the postmasters of the recipient mail servers that aren’t correctly configured to support TLS so that they can remediate their systems.

18.00 Uhr unserer Zeit: der “Thunderclap” der Kampagne “Reset the Net” ist gestartet. Millionen Aktive und Internet-Portale lassen im Weltinformationsnetz Internet zeitgleich die Kanäle glühen, ob in den Nachrichten-Medien, auf Twitter oder Facebook.

Some 200 websites have joined the #ResetTheNet campaign, urging internet users, developers and content providers to use “NSA-resistant” software, and tools to protect the global net against intrusive government surveillance.

The Reset the Net campaign aims to encourage direct action, urging visitors to install privacy and encryption tools

WordPress.org, Mozilla, Reddit and the American Civil Liberties Union are among the other major entities that have pledged to place a Reset the Net “splash screen” on their sites on June 5 to direct readers to easy-to-use Internet security tools.

there are ways to protect our privacy online. That’s why a coalition of web sites, companies, and rights groups ranging from Amnesty International to Greenpeace USA, has begun a campaign to #ResetTheNet

We’ll have SSL in place for all *.wordpress.com subdomains by the end of the year.

1. We saw an example of the court orders that authorize the NSA to collect virtually every phone call record in the United States—that’s who you call, who calls you, when, for how long, and sometimes where.

today, in conjunction with the Reset the Net campaign in honor of the first anniversary of the very first Ed Snowden revelation, we‘ve officially flipped the switch to make the site fully SSL.

…

June 5, 2014 – Today as part of Reset the Net, tens of thousands of Internet users and the Internet’s largest companies rallied to protect billions. These companies and users interfered directly interfering in the NSA’s runaway surveillance programs by securing websites, apps, and services while supporting the largest ever movement in history to spread encryption tools and collectively improve the security of the web. Reset the Net demands that web services take concrete steps to protect their users from government snooping, while encouraging everyday Internet users to adopt free and open source privacy tools.

Let us know how you’re fighting surveillance in your country, whether it’s on June 5th, or afterwards.

In der größten digitalen Krise seit Beginn des Internets versagt unsere Regierung auf ganzer Linie. Deshalb ist es wichtiger denn je, den Schutz unserer Privatsphäre in die eigene Hand zu nehmen.

Erobert das Internet zurück! So lautet die Parole des heutigen Aktionstags „Reset the Net“. Anlass ist die Veröffentlichung der ersten Berichte von Edward Snowden vor einem Jahr. Jeder – egal ob Unternehmen oder Privatperson – kann ganz einfach mitmachen.

Ich schließe mich dieser Initiative an. Ab nun verwendet dieses Blog HTTPS, die Datenübertragung von dieser Seite ist somit verschlüsselt und Dritte (wie manch ein Geheimdienst, der Glasfaserleitungen anzapft) können nicht mehr so leicht mitlesen, welche Information man online aufruft. Danke an Robert Harm, der die Umstellung für mich durchführte.

Vor einigen Wochen habe ich von meinen – schon etwas armseligen – Versuchen berichtet, mir selbst Emailverschlüsselung beizubringen. Seitdem hatte ich mehr als einmal vor, dem noch etwas hinzuzufügen, aber irgendwie kamen immer andere Dinge dazwischen.

Aber heute ist der Tag, an dem wir uns das Internet zurückholen!

In 1969, the Anti-Defamation League infiltrated and spied on a national gathering of Arab students in the United States, newly released Federal Bureau of Investigation documents show.

Obtained in April after an Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy (IRMEP) freedom of information request, and reviewed by The Electronic Intifada, one declassified file [PDF] contains Anti-Defamation League reports held by the FBI.

The documents reveal how ADL surveillance against the Organization of Arab Students (OAS) in 1969 coalesced into plans for infiltrating the OAS national organization in New York. The files also give an insight into why the entire effort eventually backfired, ultimately leading to raids on ADL offices involved in intelligence-gathering through illegal means, and a lawsuit against ADL in the early 1990s — ultimately settled out of court in 2002.

Israel‘s housing ministry said Thursday it was advancing plans for nearly 1,500 new settlement housing units in the West Bank and east Jerusalem in response to the formation of a Palestinian unity government backed by the Islamic militant group Hamas.

Part 4 of 4

TONY SNOW, HOST: This week, senior correspondent Carl Cameron has reported on a longstanding government espionage investigation. Federal officials this year have arrested or detained nearly 200 Israeli citizens suspected of belonging to an „organized intelligence-gathering operation.“ The Bush administration has deported most of those arrested after Sept. 11, although some are in custody under the new anti-terrorism law.

Cameron also investigates the possibility that an Israeli firm generated billing data that could be used for intelligence purpose, and describes concerns that the federal government‘s own wiretapping system may be vulnerable. Tonight, in part four of the series, we‘ll learn about the probable roots of the probe: a drug case that went bad four years ago in L.A.

HUME: Last time we reported on an Israeli-based company called Amdocs Ltd. that generates the computerized records and billing data for nearly every phone call made in America. As Carl Cameron reported, U.S. investigators digging into the 9/11 terrorist attacks fear that suspects may have been tipped off to what they were doing by information leaking out of Amdocs.
In tonight‘s report, we learn that the concern about phone security extends to another company, founded in Israel, that provides the technology that the U.S. government uses for electronic eavesdropping. Here is Carl Cameron‘s third report.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

CARL CAMERON, FOX NEWS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The company is Comverse Infosys, a subsidiary of an Israeli-run private telecommunications firm, with offices throughout the U.S. It provides wiretapping equipment for law enforcement. Here‘s how wiretapping works in the U.S.

Every time you make a call, it passes through the nation‘s elaborate network of switchers and routers run by the phone companies. Custom computers and software, made by companies like Comverse, are tied into that network to intercept, record and store the wiretapped calls, and at the same time transmit them to investigators.

Part 2 of 4

BRIT HUME, HOST: Last time we reported on the approximately 60 Israelis who had been detained in connection with the Sept. 11 terrorism investigation. Carl Cameron reported that U.S. investigators suspect that some of these Israelis were spying on Arabs in this country, and may have turned up information on the planned terrorist attacks back in September that was not passed on.

Tonight, in the second of four reports on spying by Israelis in the U.S., we learn about an Israeli-based private communications company, for whom a half-dozen of those 60 detained suspects worked. American investigators fear information generated by this firm may have fallen into the wrong hands and had the effect of impeded the Sept. 11 terror inquiry. Here‘s Carl Cameron‘s second report.

BRIT HUME, HOST: It has been more than 16 years since a civilian working for the Navy was charged with passing secrets to Israel. Jonathan Pollard pled guilty to conspiracy to commit espionage and is serving a life sentence. At first, Israeli leaders claimed Pollard was part of a rogue operation, but later took responsibility for his work.

Now Fox News has learned some U.S. investigators believe that there are Israelis again very much engaged in spying in and on the U.S., who may have known things they didn‘t tell us before September 11. Fox News correspondent Carl Cameron has details in the first of a four-part series.
