Russia is flooding the internet with fake news about the Syria Satin Gas Attack. 8:15am PST, 4/14/17 GMA channel 10, Sacramento. So, now we know what Russian hacking is really about, to blind America, to cause the American people to think differently, to put something other than the truth up in front of the American public. This would be used in wartime, to cause sensors to become nonfunctional, so their directed weapons would not work well. No surgical strikes. So we must be very close, or closing in. We know what Russia can do. We must be watchful for the truth in what little we get from this news source. And we know Putin's background, too. He was a former KGB operative. So, this makes the Russian leadership dangerous. Together, this makes Russia a very dangerous place. David Schaedler 4/14/17

Thanks. Let's see responses.
IT’S “THE PEOPLE” VERSUS THE GOVERNMENT … Wait A Minute,
THE PEOPLE ARE THE GOVERNMENT!
This National Security Agency has people working inside it - they are working for US. The problem lies in privacy versus information; The NSA (not NRA) wants to know what ‘we’ are doing, ‘we’ want to be left alone.
Any national security problem concerns itself with ”what is it”? That would be the NSA, the CIA, the FBI, the DIA or whatever 3 or more alphabet letters you choose to print. They want to know, “are they secure”, “is there any leak”, “does anyone know”, “are the bad guys planning something big”, or the Big Guys planning something bad? Those are far-reaching, world-wide, and permanent arguments in question, Mr.Internet, and soon, very soon it will reach Mars. Those are very definite concerns for each and every American, and not something to be complained over and look away. Let’s get it right the first time.
Any private citizen wants to put his ‘life story’ on the ‘net, and/or be assured that only friends; or ‘gfs’ they are looking for, get that; or business associates get what data they enter and only them - no one else. “I’m a private citizen, and my Right’s are in question here, Mr.!”
Nobody, nobody, nobody cares if you listen to itunes while you work. Nobody cares if you watch humorous, or raunchy YouTube videos. No one cares if you email your significant other about groceries to bring home (Okay, some, but not all). And nobody (else) cares about your social website ‘data’.
Only when illegal are you breaking the law. The same-sex marraige and proposed marijuana laws are an example of how to change a law that some think is worthwhile, demonstrating about something that they ‘feel’ is right. That may be upsetting to others, but it’s the ”right way” to get such things done, peacefully. Let’s air out our differences.
The NSA vs “the people” is truly Worldwide, in as diverse places as Germany, England, Brazil and Venezuela. With those being the most vociferous, it’s certain this ‘trouble’ is elsewhere, hidden behind cultural differences or need for power. And, due to the necessating - secrecy - involved, seems one-sided, America - the NSA vs ”US” - with US on the always right’ side. In any case, a ‘business’ will not want scrutiny - someone will always find something wrong. Standing back, one can see that it’s also everyone using an internet, infranet or ‘some such similar software sequence’. Only two days ago - I heard that was 85% of the United States.
Someone (hint: person in Russia) is in the middle, joined by news readers daily. He may be offered and accept amnesty, and promised ”Due Process”. That would be only expected.
It requires noted knowledge in The Constitution about our rights, which is how and why this has gotten so much publicity, somewhat like President Roosevelt warned us about, ”the Military-Industrial Complex”. Once started, it’s a ‘steamroller’.
There has to be a middle ground. No one person is going to get away with any criminal activity of any type, not at this point. No business of any size or type is going to gather up everyone’s private contact data and sell or ‘pass it along’ - legally, including Target stores, who recently had private credit data hacked.
The current situation is this; a national government agency of no previous national ill repute has - without direct, obvious choice, one way or the other within that agency, chosen to protect the nation in the best, and with the most significant means possible without causing obvious upset, until now.
The problem is that many folks with responsibility over large number of more or less randomly insignificant ‘security keys’ have been publicly been ”scooped”, to use a news term, by a former ”insider”. Supposedly, “insiders know it all”, and have evidentally touched a nerve from the distance of a former “Cold” opponent. For the uniformed, that means that anything from that side is suspect and immediately deemed wrong. It’s like the ‘60’s song title, “That Was Then, This Is Now”.
Just today, the president is meeting with fifteen heads of companies in Silicon Valley to talk over ‘surveillance reform’ in an open letter. According to this source, they also want to talk of ”sharing more information”. Hmm. And, on December nineteenth, all 193 member states of the UN voted ”to respect and protect rights to privacy, and that includes digital communication”, according to RT.
So remember, it’s ubiquitous - has to do with our connections - on the internet.
It’s a ‘high-profile’ subject, including heads of state and very large, worldwide industry.
It’s from ‘the Cold side’, touchy.
It has to do with ”our Rights”, never an uninteresting discussion.
It should be questioned to get it right the first time, being ubiquitous, high profile, touchy -and- has to do, very much, with our future.
So, why not, when we are filling that yes/no form on our ‘profile’ or entering into that ‘social website’ or signing up on the latest news site, have two sides, one with public, one with private information that ‘We’ and the NSA require for internet use? That would make it obvious as to what ‘they’ get, and what what ‘we’ keep’, possibly in ‘non internet connected memory’. What we should do is, 1) require new inputs for new ‘net input, public and private, and 2) decide what to do with Mr. Amnesty.

The space station is orbiting halfway between Cambodia and Australia, now! 7:50 am PST, 5/8/17. The ISS weighs 350 tons and orbits at about 100 miles above the Earth. It is traveling at 17,350 miles an hour. Pretty fast for 350 tons. And a remarkable accomplishment for NASA. David Schaedler
