statcounter.com
if you are interested in whether big brother is watching you- go there. sappho manifesto had a rude awakening when she looked at her stats- seems she has caught the attention of the federal government who was monitoring her site. yes, that's right- one of our own. welcome to america folks- these are the issues we have to focus on. we don't have the luxury of domestic programs right now.

i think that the bigger issue is that they are watching us in the first place. we need more exposure to this because until people actually feel threatened- they will continue to think that it is about terrorism.
I always assume that anything on the net might be watched by some agency whether it be American, foreign or private industry.
When my statcounter throws up an interesting visit - say from "Fort Meade, Maryland" (NSA and other army units) or from "Arlington, Virgina" on the mil net (Pentagon), or a journalist from Russia I get a buzz. But this is often legitimate surfing from PC users who just happen to work in these places.
Genuine surveillance or data mining of a website and of other personal details is highly likely to be undetectable.
The genie is out of the bottle. If anyone where to pressure the US government to stop internet survellance they'd just outsource it to some other entity or country.

sadly, American's will loose their freedoms because they went along with it - by not paying attention. Present company excluded of course. Installed Starcounter - Love it. I had a visit from the U.S. Senate Sgt at Arms. Someone doing a search of Barak Obama!
