Edward Snowden to Keynote Liberty Forum 2016!

The Free State Project‘s yearly hotel convention, “NH Liberty Forum” is always a great event that attracts hundreds of attendees, including lots of prospective movers. Regardless of who is speaking, the event is worth attending simply to experience the amazing liberty activist community we have here in New Hampshire. However, having great speakers certainly makes the event more attractive and the FSP is going to have a tough time topping this year’s keynote speaker – Edward Snowden.

Yes, THE Edward Snowden, whose revelations about the NSA and their spy counterpart agencies worldwide like the British GCHQ, rocked the world. Of course, he can’t come in person due to the fact that the scumbag feds will arrest him on sight, so he’ll be appearing via remote video link from Moscow.

Edward Snowden Would Rather Play Fallout 4 Than Correct AP Journalists

At least we know Edward Snowden gets a little time for himself — like us, Fallout 4 seems to be his preferred method to relax — and he doesn’t like it when it’s interrupted by bad national security journalism. From his Brotherhood of Steel fortress in the depths of Siberia (read: Moscow), Snowden let loose today’s best quote:

Ever have one of those days where you just wanted to play Fallout 4, but somebody says something so dumb you have to get on Twitter?

— Edward Snowden (@Snowden) December 7, 2015

That “somebody” in this case is the Associated Press investigative editor Ted Bridis, who wrote a story published Sunday about law enforcement access to phone records in the San Bernarndino shooting.

Snowden says Bridis is wrong, wrong, wrong.

The takeaway from the AP story is that investigators lost out on the NSA’s phone record dragnet when one of the NSA’s bulk collection programs expired, which would have allowed them to access five years of phone records on shooters Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik. Now, the AP story implies, they’re stuck obtaining records directly from phone companies under the USA Freedom Act.

“Under the new law, passed in June, investigators still can look for links in phone records but they must obtain a targeted warrant to get them directly from phone companies, which generally keep customer records for 18 months to two years, although some keep them longer.”

But the FBI investigators in the San Bernardino case have access to a lot more than the AP made out here, according to Marcy Wheeler at Emptywheel, who wrote a brutal takedown of the piece after a back-and-forth with Bridis on Twitter. She writes:

“But the real problem with this utterly erroneous article is that it suggests the ‘US government’ can’t get any records from NSA, which in turn suggests the only records of interest the NSA might have came from the Section 215 bulk collection program, which is of course nonsense. Not only does the NSA get far more records than what they got under Section 215 — that dragnet was … just a fraction of what NSA got, and according to NSA’s training, it was significantly redundant with … collection on international calls to the US, which the NSA can collect with fewer limits as to format and share more freely with the FBI — but there are plenty of other places where the FBI can get records.

“So the AP didn’t mention all the ways FBI gets records on its own, and it didn’t mention the larger NSA EO 12333 bulk collection that NSA can share more freely with FBI.”

For example, the New York Times reported back in 2013 that the government had arranged a partnership with AT&T that would give anti-narcotics units access to a colossal AT&T database on the DL — a database that goes back more than 25 years.

Want a secure messaging app on desktop? Signal has announced a private beta

Open Whisper Systems has announced the launch of Signal on desktop, available in closed beta today. The messaging service is a favorite among privacy advocates, including NSA surveillance whistleblower Edward Snowden.

Signal offers end-to-end encryption for text, image, and video messages — both single and group conversations are available. The end-to-end encryption stops snoopers from being able to access or read the conversation.
