FBI secretly redirected the web traffic of SurvivalBlog’s visitors and tracked them

http://survivalblog.com/2012/03/imp...fbis-cookie-caper-and-the-vpn-imperative.html

It has come to my attention that from August of 2011 to November of 2011, the FBI secretly redirected the web traffic of more than 10% of SurvivalBlog’s US visitors through CJIS, their sprawling data center situated on 900 acres, 10 miles from Clarksburg, West Virginia. There, the Feebees surreptitiously collected the IP addresses of my site visitors. In all, 4,906 of 35,494 selected connections ended up going to or through the FBI servers. (Note that this happened several months before we moved our primary server to Sweden.) Furthermore, we discovered that the FBI attached a long-lived cookie that allowed them to track the sites that readers subsequently visited. I suspect that the FBI has done the same to hundreds of other web sites. I find this situation totally abhorrent, and contrary to the letter of 4th Amendment as well as the intent of our Founding Fathers.

I recognize that I am making this announcement at the risk of losing some readers. So be it. But I felt compelled to tell my readers immediately, because it was the honorable and forthright course of action.

So.. Why the heck would the FBI be worrying about "crazy Doomsday preparers"? I hope this wont happen to RPF though.

Someday, not today, people are gonna give the FEDs a taste of their own medicine.

Well don't click the link I posted because then you might get tracked I guess.

They know the collapse is coming. They want to know where to go to get supplies when they run out.

bold claims there, did i miss where he linked to the evidence?

 

[thoughtomator]

just post the link to Twitter with the caption "Naked Beyonce pictures just leaked!" and that will end the usefulness of the IP log

 

[Lishy]

I mean, seriously though.. They should NOT be getting away with this! I don't care about their excuse!

(Out of curiosity though, think SuperAntiSpyware or something similar would remove it? Lol)

Probably not, you can clear your cookies though. I would use CCleaner. You will then however have to re-enter all your passwords/usernames on sites you have them remembered on. It's a good idea to wipe your cookies every now and then, probably twice a month. Not just the feds but any site you visit can and some do put tracking cookies on your machine. Some of them are just used to see what you navigate on their site and then deleted, others...... a little more invasive.

He should have posted proof of it in that blog post.

LOL I almost coughed up my milk. THAT's SO HILARIOUS because it's so true.

 

[Czolgosz]

I clicked the link. FUFBI.

 

[craezie]

wow. I wonder if they have tracked Ron Paul sites. After all, those "crazy doomsday preppers" seem pretty harmless (except the ones that stockpile weapons and form militias I guess). On the other hand, they have SAID that Ron Paul people might be terrorists.

yup, its bullshit nonsense without proof.

evidence and conspiracy theories don't mix.

 

[youngbuck]

Yea, I'd like to see some evidence. If true, the FBI's actions are quite disturbing.

 

[Lishy]

The Pirate Party of Canada is investigating apparently, I can confirm!

A gang of our more conspiracy minded posters is no doubt going to neg-rep you for that comment. They're just fine with half-truths and rumor. Who needs evidence?

personally, I know all this trolling stuff is annoying, ... and scary....however the God I serve knows the number of hairs on my head and His love is real and forever. He told me not to worry, He has overcome this world.

He went to prepare a place for me and all those who believe He was raised from the dead.

Love you all, and hope your Easter is one of power, might and truth., Not much left on this planet, but He will change that when His return comes, which is a promise, and He isnt a man that He should lie.

We will be okay if we are living right and thinking right. Only those who enjoy evil and wickedness should be anxious, frustrated and worried. Their eternity is sealed.

Liberty is for those who know truth.

With evidence it is no longer a theory.
