Befuddle the NSA with the *NEW* Paranoid Browsing Extension for Google Chrome

"A snake eating it's own tail is not nutritious".
A government spying on it's own citizens is equally disturbing and pointless.

Paranoid Browsing is a new Google Chrome plugin designed to thwart nosey government and corporate surveillance scams by disguising your stream of actual web usage in a sea of random websites.  Paranoid Browsing starts at a random site and randomly clicks links at random time intervals resulting a browsing history that will befuddle even the shadiest of spooks.

By opening a new tab and enabling Paranoid Browsing you send those spooks on a wild goose chase down a rabbit hole of random websites.  Yes those are mixed metaphors because Paranoid Browsing is just that awesome.

I plan to let this run in the background from now on and if the long arm of corrupt and unconstitutional government snooping comes knocking at my door I can blame any potentially "terrorist" web activity on their overactive imaginations or merely my usage of the Paranoid Browsing plugin.

I've been playing with the plugin for a few hours now.  I think it needs some work to make it even more effective but it seems like a step in the right direction.

Watch the video and get the plugin below, wouldya?!

Confuse surveillers by randomly browsing the internet.

Advertisers and government agencies attempt to build a profile of you based on your browsing history. Paranoid Browsing confuses that effort by making a background tab which browses the internet at random.

PB was inspired by fictional software described in Cory Doctorow's book Little Brother: "It even throws up a bunch of 'chaff' communications that are supposed to disguise the fact that you're doing anything covert. So while you're receiving a political message one character at a time, [it] is pretending to surf the Web and fill in questionnaires and flirt in chat-rooms. Meanwhile, one in every five hundred characters you receive is your real message, a needle buried in a huge haystack."

PB currently browses the "standard American" set of web pages, but you can easily modify this to look at ponies, go carts or whatever else you want profilers to think you're interested in. Code is available on GitHub and pull requests are appreciated: https://github.com/Xodarap/Paranoid-Browsing

Note: Since Paranoid Browsing clicks on links randomly, you will get some popups. I recommend having a dedicated window for PB.

NDAA Unlawful Detention and the Enemy Expatriation Act: Just two more links in the FEDGOV's Chain of Tyranny

James Corbett reports on the recently passed NDAA authorizing the unlawful detainment of American Citizens.  On the heels of Obama's New Years Eve signing of the NDAA, a complimentary bill is now making it's way through DC: H.R. 3166, the Enemy Expatriation Act which would authorize stripping Americans labeled enemies of their US Citizenship.  H.R. 3166 was introduced in the Fall of 2011, but it is just starting to make the headlines now.


Strange days, ladies and gents, strange days... lots of reliable info in this video.

Memphis Math Teacher Ordered to Destroy His Thriving Urban Garden

Student Beekeepers Awaiting Adam's Supervision

As if the insane war on relocalization and self-sufficiency couldn't get more overt, another debacle is unfolding in Memphis, Tennessee.

Just weeks after a SWAT Team raided RAWESOME Food Coop in Los Angeles, and a Michigan woman faced 93 days in jail for gardening, now a Memphis math teacher has been ordered to dismantle his personal garden.

The teachers name is Adam Guerrero, and the tidy garden is located in the yard of his own home.  He works the land with a team of student volunteers.  They practice vermiculture gardening and keep bees.

Guerrero has been fined under ordinances related to "public health, safety or welfare" for using his spare time to tend a garden and keep bees (beekeeping is legal in Memphis) with the help of volunteer students he has taken under his wing.

As you can see in the photo below, most of Adam's Garden is in the back yard and the small plot in the front where he's growing vegetables looks about like any small urban home.  If there's any safety hazard, it's that trash can sitting near the sidewalk.  I'd say if Adam wheels that unsightly thing around back the front yard no longer constitutes a threat to "public health, safety, or welfare."

What do you think?

Lots of other info about this situation is available in the Treehugger article.
