ICMag isn't going to sell us out to a government agency.

I can't believe anybody that comes here would think that and still come here.
I don't think brotha RR ment that just several years ago the feds had all internet providers install special equipment to be able to track users easier. feds come in dnld from HD's and gone to review later

now with
C.I.S.P.A. enacted it's all possible

My concerns as well. icmag is encrypted so it would st least take them a good deal of resorces to unencrypt comm. they are soon gonna be storing all internet comm as common practice to be unencrypted later.

I do have a question, mainly because I'm not internet savvy as it is, but are they, they being the ones that wish to due us harm, able to intercept communications between, say the time what I type leaves my computer and reaches your servers? Just curious about that. I'm thinking they could serve a warrant to my ip, and intercept the communications at that point before being routed to you guys.

In the US you should assume that all internet communications and digital phone conversations are recorded by the National Security Agency. But to mix metaphors, you are a needle in a hay stack and a very small fish in a very big pond.

The people who are now searching this data could care less about us. But that data is all recorded for posterity and will be available for future computer searches.

My *comfort comes from being a good guy, with a small grow, I work under the Fed numbers so no one is getting a medal or promotion for busting me, and if your gonna rip me well, if you could time it perfectly and avoid the alarms and get thru the locks, you might get a q , ..... Or a cpl dewalt tools , So their both rippers so I make it not worth it to them the best I can

I do take comfort in the idea of Dutch tolerance and privacy.

On the other hand, all electronic communcations can be assumed to be monitored/collected/filtered by the highest levels of our "protectors".
At this point in time, nearly all communications coming into and out of the US in any form are being recorded - at the points at which they enter/exit. Soon all traffic within the US will be recorded at the new NSA cyber center in Utah. Nothing anyone can do about it.

Just cause it's being recorded doesn't mean it will ever be looked at by a human. 99% will be processed by computer algorithm to locate keywords. Raise enough flags and then you have something to worry about. At this point I doubt "marijuana" is an important keyword for the NSA. Even D.A.R.E. has dropped marijuana from its program!

As others have said b4, snitches are the big thing to worry about in real life.

I have read that there is no legal expectacion of privacy in comunications entering/leaving the us so in effect all international comunications with the us may be monitered and/or recorded. Don't understand why some people are saying that there will soon be no telecommunication privacy when the echolon program has existed since the coldwar. With the normalization of the internet in the 90's came the f8i's carnevor program and presently all information is directly copied at the nodes as seen in a wired magazine expose a few years ago. Not to mention that everytime I load a website I can see that my computer is trying to connect to google due to cookies even though I don't use their services(when I have a choice, I assume that the cookies come from their ad's which are all over the internet given that they have majority control of the online ad market) and I wonder how much information they are gathering, see project censored for information on googles relationship with Le0.

It is not wise to taunt or provoke an adversary: Contrary to the belief here from some, the feds aren't stupid. Stay safe.

Fuck the illegal laws, FUCK the respective gestapos that enforce them and fuck the individuals, states and corporations that profit off my rights getting fucked.

If you are a law enforcement official reading this, FUCK YOU, get your ego and self-righteous ignorance the fuck off my rights. My body is my body and my body only, no entity on this planet has the right to dictate to me what medicines I can and cannot put into my body. Full Fucking stop! End of story.

Drug scheduling is just a classic smokescreen. BPA's, GMO's, heavy metals etc.. those are the real chemical dangers affecting the masses. But those are fine, just don't grow weed kids...see, it is a classic diversion of attention. War makes money and drug law enforcement is civil war, some rich bankers and faceless companies somewhere are just getting richer at our expense and hiding behind a redundant legacy law that has no basis in logic nor scientific fact, law that is in fact illegal under international law and that effectively removes your right to life and liberty.

well now that a 3rd of the states are med and 2 are fully legal you can expect govt officials and citizens from other states legally researching marijuana

also, they might be filtering data, but from what I understand the patriot act allows them to ACT on data for terrorism and if they did it to address traditional crimes it could have legal ramifications if there are enough in the judicial system still trying to preserve citizens constitutional rights to privacy.

even open market places function without much reprise from the feds. not that everything is safe, but the blend of legality and the medium of the internet is still in its teen age years if not its infancy

I used to hide behind FOAF and 'I met this cat' and proxies and tor and all that shit till one day I realized that I had the right to do it all and the right to talk about it. Fuck it, we have no reason to hide nor be ashamed. We have been on this road long enough to realize that we are actually not doing wrong but to the contrary we, like good men should, are not lying down being faced with injustice. We are not being violent but exercising civil disobedience to protest injustice, Mr King, Madiba and Jesus would be proud in my opinion.

C.I.S.P.A.
google it read and you'll understand it
they gonna do it. fortunately, vpn's, tor, etc., make it very resource intensive to decipher.
if one is using a secure encrypted internet connection, in addition to ic mag's encryption, it would be doubly difficult i would presume.
i use encrypted internet connections for all communication i wish to remain private.
