***This is a podcast for Godzilla Government:: http: www.zillamod.wordpress.com::*** People are turning on their computers to seek out Occupy Together gatherings to help represent their own interests in the economic breakdown. #OccupyTogether, organized by GlobalRevolution.es, is helping many find ways to talk back to Wall St and the US government by inviting the voices of those harmed by the economic downturn.  They are not happy with D.C. They are not happy with Wall Street's financial institutions. In this report, many gievances are cited for too much corporate involvement with the government sector and too much government involved with the private sector.   We attended Occupy Seattle to hear the stories and the voices of those in attendance.  We also asked a few people right around the corner their opinion of current events and the protests.  UPDATES: 10/5 -  A breakthrough report in Bankster accountability from Steve Vogel at the Washington Post: "Suit alleges banks and mortgage companies cheated veterans and U.S. taxpayers" Kevin Zeese, a man not afraid to name names, reports from October 2011 event, when unions *officially* join the #OccupyTogether movement. Internet patriarch, Lawrence Lessig, comments on the American Spring: "The arrest of hundreds of tired and unwashed kids, denied the freedom of a bullhorn, and the right to protest on public streets, may well be the first real green-shoots of this, the American spring. And if nurtured right, it could well begin real change." Counter weights: Anonymous call to action: Some refute claims to erase NYSE on October 10th as a "fake planted operation by law enforcement and cyber crime agencies." "Occupy the Fed," says conservative alt-media talk host, Alex Jones on 11-22-2011. Federal Reserve chair, Ben Bernanke says, "I can't blame them."

HR 2885, the Legal Worforce Act bill would mandate all US workers submit SSN#s and record identity information in a web-based cloud system administered by USCIS (DHS).    Orly Taitz road tested E-Verify with what is believed to be President Obama's SSN#. Dr. Taitz claims that President Obama has presented fraudulent identity documents and demands accountability from the White House.   She presents the case that E-Verify can deidentify the United States President if his SSN# is fraudulent.   We ask her about the integrity of the E-Verify technology and her end goal in deidentifying the US President.  We follow Orly's statements with our own brand of analysis of The Legal Workforce Act. We analyze the nature of President Obama identity submissions to the Birther movement (overidentification), and stoke a call to action. SPOILER ALERT: You can make Numbers USA very angry by feeding your family.

Adrian Wyllie, the Chair for the Libertarian Party of Florida, has become a burr in the side of the Pinellas County criminal justice system. His offense? Driving without a Real ID certified license in the State of Florida.  After over 2 months public provocation, the sheriffs department issued a citation.   Wyllie had his day in court- the results should surprise anyone.  We are joined in a discussion with Mr. Wyllie over these current events.  The legal battle over Real ID certified licenses in the State of Florida will continue to be challenged in a recently sponsored Tallahassee based legislation, HB 109 (R-Larry Ahern).   SOURCES: Adrian Wyllie protests by not renewing his Florida license  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOTOenwxsQI CSPAN Homeland Security & Terrorism Threats Forum, as mentioned http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/TerrorismThrea Renditions of efforts to implement State-to-Federal drivers license information sharing databases.

LAS VEGAS- The (r)evolution of privacy in technology was tweeted tonight at the Develop 4 Privacy awards at the DEFCON 19 hacker conference in Las Vegas. 3rd Place went to Obscuracam (Guardian Project), 2nd place to tiqr (https://tiqr.org/), an open source authenticator, and the 1st prize award to Gibberbot (Guardian Project). The winning applications were developed using the principles of Privacy by Design. One of the winning developers, Harlo Holmes, Guardian Project's mobile app developer for the Android platform, spoke with us about Obscuracam, Gibberbot and her DEFCON experience. Holmes, a Facebook early adopter, talks about what the winning apps do to protect privacy, social networks and the societal goals at the Guardian Project. Privacy by Design policies and best practices are fast becoming the most resilient way to reinforce privacy values for technologies in the marketplace. "The Develop for Privacy challenge is a great way to raise awareness for principles of privacy by design at a developer and code level. Far too many developers think about putting their user in control of their data after the fact. By encouraging privacy from the start, we're raising awareness of how to design for privacy," said Andrew Lewman of the Tor Project. Contestants' apps were judged based on effectiveness, the quality of user documentation, source code, originality, portability, and performance. The DEFCON event judges were veteran privacy scholars and analysts who awarded priority to the protection of daily online chats & instant messaging and the first place win to Gibberbot. “This app demonstrates that advances in consumer technology don’t need to come at the expense of privacy, said Nicole Ozer, with event sponsor, ACLU of Northern California and the Demand Your dotRights campaign. “We’re hopeful that companies will start to bake in better privacy protections so that users don’t have to choose between using smartphones and keeping control of their private information.” Winning developers won't walk away with a lot of prizes, but their technologies will be among the most recognised and supported examples of Privacy by Design in the industry. In fact, their apps will an open source download for most users. Harlo Holmes, who was given a jacket by presenters, described her win for privacy as,"priceless".

BTC - A new house bill sponsored by Rep. Bishop (R-UT) would allow a DHS policy waiver of 36 federal laws to construct US border fences to become law.  The National Security and Federal Lands Protection bill would change border definitions, expanding the reach of federal border enforcement 100 miles inland from coast to coast.   From the bill: (c) CLARIFICATION RELATING TO WAIVER AUTHORITY.—(1) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding any other  provision of law (including any termination date re-lating to the waiver referred to in this subsection),the waiver by the Secretary of Homeland Securityon April 1, 2008, under section 102(c)(1) of the Ille-gal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsi-bility Act of 1996 (8 U.S.C. 1103 note; Public Law104–208) of the laws described in paragraph (2)with respect to certain sections of the internationalborder between the United States and Mexico andbetween the United States and Canada shall be con-sidered to apply to all sections of the internationalland and maritime borders of the United Stateswithin 100 miles of the international land and mari-time borders of the United States for the activitiesof the Secretary of Homeland Security described insubsection (b), including the construction of infra-structure, to achieve the operational control de-scribed in subsection (a).      We discuss events at the bill’s Introduction hearing and the US border with Scott Nicol with No Border Wall Fence Coalition.

We deserve better.  The armed service members in this country deserve better.  However- the sad truth is that Pvt. Bradley Manning is experiencing the US institution of torture and rendition consistent with being classified as a "terrorist".  This is what the United States military has been reduced to: extorting us towards crushing debt to pay for torture, rape and incarceration of our own citizens when THEY TELL THE TRUTH.   Be reminded, we may demand a different standard than, "shut up, lay down and take it without making any noise". Daniel Ellsberg, a pioneer in the art of the leak led to a revolution in public awareness.  This was before news organizations were infiltrated by retired military plants. It's all we can do to to just stay dedicated to blowing the whistle, until the people comes down like rain on the worst form of endurable governance in our name in US history yet.  If the Obama Administration has mishandled the affairs of Brad Manning it may lead to Nixon's fate of impeachment.  Try to stay sane.  DO SOMETHING!

THIS WEEK ON WAKING UP ORWELL DIY GOVERNMENT: Help Nevada fight for their rights for a free identity http://www.aclunv.org/category/issue/privacy/realid-redux In this weeks news: Gizmodo's controversial status, their many legal assists and details on "iPhonegate", pay-to-say in Wisconsin, Red-light scameras fold and how to deal with Facebook and the EPIC amount of privacy violations due to Instant Personalization. This week we are joined by Public Safety reporter for the Arizona Republic, JJ Hensley. We asked Hensley about detention of US citizens since the passage of SB 1070, the now infamous Arizona law requiring citizens to show their "papers" to law enforcement on demand. SB 1070 was recently condemned by President Obama for being "poorly conceived" due to it's racial profiling impacts on natives and legal residents of Arizona.

Waking Up Orwell's 2 hour Immigration & Police State special. Interview start times are in bold. 1st hour -  News magazine coverage of this week's chronicle of dystopia followed by instructions on how to assert your rights over a police interaction with Scott Morgan of FlexYourRights. org. (42:44) 2nd Hour - Alex Norwrasteh, an analyst for Competetive Enterprise Institute (01:06:28) covers the nasty business of Immigration and Arizona's police state bill, SB 1070.  He also exposes the anti-immigrant movement as a pan-partisan strategy initiated and sustained by the type of Global Green who are in favor of eugenics.  Why?  To depopulate North America.  How it plays out shocked me and I know it will surprise anyone who listens.   It will change the way you see Republicans, Progressives and the way you've interpreted social darwinism in the past.

For Tax Day only, we are switching from our regular formatted programming to bring you a special talk with Evan Ratliff, a co-editor for WIRED Magazine who created an assignment to disappear with strategic aims to not be found. WIRED's sponsored contest had escalating tiers of money for the digital bounty hunter who could track down and catch Ratliff in his remote locations. Evan was in and out of disguises for the duration of his extended assignment. He toured with a band, became a granola hippie and even adopted a disguise as balding stereotype in a suit to evade getting "caught" for prize money. He shares a very unique story of how he did his best to evade being actively identified by those who tracked him down with arcane and creative digital clues. Relax, as much as you can, in this moderately paranoid yet entertaining tale of public evasion. ABOUT EVAN RATLIFF Evan Ratliff is a freelance journalist whose writing appears in Wired magazine, The New Yorker, the New York Times Sunday Magazine, Outside, Discover, Men’s Journal, New York, and many other publications. A contributing editor for Wired, he is the co-author of Safe: The Race to Protect Ourselves in a Newly Dangerous World (HarperCollins, 2005), about innovation and counterterrorism. A former fellow at both the International Reporting Project and the Japan Foreign Press Center, he has reported from Russia, Cameroon, Bangladesh, Brazil, and elsewhere on science and technology, the environment, terrorism, politics, and transnational crime.
