NSA is Crazy

Edward Snowden defends decision to question Vladimir Putin on surveillance

In the phone-in, Snowden asked Putin: “Does Russia intercept, store or analyse, in any way, the communications of millions of individuals?”

Putin replied: “Our intelligence efforts are strictly regulated by our law… We don’t have a mass system of such interception and – according with our law –it cannot exist.”

The wording was deliberately modelled, Snowden says, on the query of US senator Ron Wyden to the director of national intelligence, James Clapper, in March last year – almost three months before the NSA disclosures began – to which Clapper blatantly and inaccurately denied that the US government collected data on millions on Americans.

“The question was intended to mirror the now infamous exchange between Senator Ron Wyden and DNI James Clapper… and to invite either an important concession or a clear evasion” from Putin, Snowden writes.

Lavabit held in contempt of court for printing crypto key in tiny font [Updated] | Ars Technica

A federal appeals court on Wednesday upheld a contempt of court ruling against Ladar Levison and his now-defunct encrypted e-mail service provider, Lavabit LLC, for hindering the government’s investigation into the National Security Agency leaks surrounding Edward Snowden.

In the summer of 2013, Lavabit was ordered to provide real-time e-mail monitoring of one particular user of the service, believed to be Snowden, the former NSA contractor turned whistleblower. Instead of adequately complying with the order to turn over the private SSL keys that protected his company’s tens of thousands of users from the government’s prying eyes, Levison chose instead to shut down Lavabit last year after weeks of stonewalling the government.

Ukraine

Dead Ukraine Politician Faced Hostile Pro-Russia Mob Before Being Tortured – Business Insider

Volodymyr Rybak

Rybak had tried to remove the flag of the separatist Donetsk Republic, the website said. “Over my dead body will you take down that flag,” one man in plain clothes yells at Rybak as the politician tries to gain entry to the town hall.

Two uniformed policemen appear in the video, though only one appears to intervene – ineffectually. After several minutes, Rybak appears able to walk away. Ukraine’s Interior Ministry said he was seen being bundled into a car by masked men in camouflage later that day. His body was found on Saturday near Slaviansk.

It said the men were part of Yemen’s Al-Qaeda branch, also called Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

The newspaper identified the Australian as Christopher Harvard of Townsville.
