== The Chilling Effect of NSA Dragnet Surveillance ==

This wiki (and the blog too) has become affected by the chilling effect of the now inescapable reality that everything we do is being snooped and stored illegally by the government we fund and that is supposed to represent and "protect us" (which should include foremost protecting our freedom and privacy).

I now think three or four times about what I publish publicly, and so this wiki has become self-censored (the primary chilling effect) in that I now put writing into a private form first, and release it to the public Internet after
 +
vetting it. This is very harsh to a technological society that depends on sharing and publicizing ideas. Shame on the criminals in our government! The economic costs of the Global Surveillance State to the People of the United States of America have already grown to be incalculable.

It's not that I have something to hide... what's to hide about Linux, Radio Electronics, and the rest? That's never
 +
the point, and frankly you're an imbecile if you think that's an issue. The problem is that those engaged in dragnet surveillance
 +
will inevitably wind up using what they collect against We the People. It's human nature, and it's the reason that
 +
dragnet surveillance of We the People is an illegal activity for the government to engage in. They've already demonstrated their inability to protect sensitive information or comply with the law.
