Thanks for the invite to this critical sub-group and last bastion of the free society. Since we are already in the Orwellian era, can we have any meaningful discussion on a list of this nature? Will our strategies not be foiled by those listening and constantly monitoring us? The fact is the listening has been going on a long time our paranoia is starting too late.

Subject: NSA Paranoia Stakeholders Proup - NPSG?

Hello,

Welcome to the NSA Paranoia Stakeholders Group.

Let me start out by sharing my paranoia about the NSA.

We know the NSA is into the phone companies tracking every phone call. 
We also know they are into Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc. And we know 
they are storing photos of every letter to post office processes. And 
that's just what they have admitted to. The Guardian has stated that 
there's a lot more to come about what else they are into and what is to 
come is described as shocking, for those who are not shocked already.

I think we have assume that ICANN is a target. That they have already 
been compromised, is in the process of being compromised, or will soon 
be compromised. If I were chief of the NSA and ICANN weren't a target, 
I'd fire someone.

I see total control of the Internet and the NSA spying is the first step 
to establishing an Orwellian society. I for one think a world wide 
Orwellian society is a bad idea.

So - shouldn't we have a plan?
