How to protect your computer from spying by the IRS and Eric H.
Holder, Jr.
These days it seems that you need to protect yourself from more than
commercial vendors, namely spying by the IRS and Eric H. Holder, Jr.
Snowden, the man who recently exposed the NSA activities, says he can
from his desktop listen to your telephone and read your email.
But it would have been illegal for him to do so. People are always
able to do illegal things. The question is what preventive measures
should be taken. Snowden was an IT tech who was just supposed to
keep the system running, so of course he had the ability to tap data
flows. But there should have been some administrative oversight to
keep him from doing that beyond what was necessary for his work (and
maybe there was).
The question is should it be legal for the government to collect
this data. The Supreme Court has said it's Constitutional and polls
say it's favor 62% to 34% by the public, so...
The US government is doing the dictator trick (NDAA 12, NDAA 13).
Those are not just non-constitutional they are anti-constitutional.
The human rights applies to all humans, or they lost their meaning.
The private life has to be respected for all humans.
It seems clear to me that prohibition has succeeded in putting bandits
into power, which makes legal or illegal things only for special
interest.
Health should be separated from the state, like religion. Free
competition has to be allowed among all art of helping others, and
nobody can pretend for you what is good to you.
Some people do money on fears and catastrophes. The war on drug is a
golden mine for bandits and terrorists.
After the NDAA 12 I am afraid that the war on terror begins to look to
me suspiciously like the war on drug.
The notion legal/illegal must be relativized when the evidences add
that the government don't play with the rules.

To do so, at least to a partial extent, start here:
1.) See this link:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703467304575383203092034876.html
2.) Switch your default browser to Mozilla Firefox, as most of the
free add-ons only works on it.
3.) Download and install the freeware Firefox add-on from
http://www.privacychoice.org/trackerblock/update
This so far from a cursory search has not blocked me anywhere.
