Homosexual activists understand the power of words.
Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".
The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.
The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.
What I got out of this is that a happy go lucky guy is being harassed by the FBI and he isn't taking offense to it but rather embracing it. I think the reason he chose to speak on TED is to publicly and indirectly call the FBI out for being douche-bags and that they are tracking and innocent man.
I would have rather seen a video about how someone fought the ridiculous powers that be, rather than embracing and passively condoning it. Thumbs up for trolling them a bit- but I feel even that could have been done more effectively.
When and why did the "free world" become its own enemies? Wasn't there a time when we pointed at other countries and their "papieren, bitte" attitude? And now it's ok for us to adopt similar policies.
i laughed at how stupid american protocols are with terrorism when i saw the list of who had visited his website...the pentagon? executive office of the president? CIA? FBI? i mean come on..
Lets get us all on every watchlist, It will create a lot of jobs! Name all your facebook images after wanted terrorists + use allah akbar as a sig in every txt!!
I've heard a suggestion to avoid being tagged for photos is to just tag yourself as a plant and such. That skews the results to junk on search engines.
I think he underestimates the computing power that could sift through that data. This is funny though and is a good poke at the Patriot Act and TSA type stuff.
I'm not from the US, so I'm always baffled how much authority, surveillance and control are growing over common people. Don't people get a sense of paranoia or unconformity from Big Brother? Or are they getting used to it without awareness?
Ppl here are f%%#5cking idiots! The guy was UNLAWFULLY jailed under suspicion of terrorism without evidence! It makes look Americans as despicable creatures using your taxes!
@hedleypanama He wasn't jailed. The FBI questioned him, figured out that he's harmless and left him alone. They did precisely what they should have done, and there's nothing unlawful about the FBI's actions in this case.
@shiftyjake yes, he was! the was detainee for questionning (jailed): do you know why? because he is a Muslim name and additionally, have a funny skin color... they had 0 evidence and they questionned him anyway, in the same fashion they do with little preteen girls like this: watch?v=-3sH1GaO_nw
My teacher was also questionned because he is a PhD in virology attending to a conference!
@hedleypanama Do you know what "jailed" means? It's what happens when you're put in an actual jail. As in a locked cell, one phone call, orange jump suit. It didn't happen. Being pulled out of line at the airport and then asked to come to a building to answer more questions is not the same thing. I used to get pulled out of line at airports, too, to have my bags searched b/c I was a frequent flier in the early 2000's, and that isn't jailing, either.
@hedleypanama That the FBI singled him out only because he wasn't white is clearly factually untrue because not all non-white people are singled out this way. The description says he got on a list by mistake. Maybe someone misspelled a name or he has the same name as someone else. The FBI screwed up. If you're implying that they believe that all terrorist threats come from Muslims, that is also false as the FBI's investigation in Mar, 2010 of a Christian terrorist group in MIchigan proves.
@hedleypanama In conclusion, the FBI is supposed to ask questions. It's what we pay them to do. You should start getting worried if they arrest and prosecute people for attending conferences, not just because they asked annoying or stressful questions. Remember, the FBI isn't the CIA. They only operate within the US and they don't water board or assassinate people. They're just federal cops.
LOL, Coming Australia and working for the government. It became very clear the Australia government is the total oppsoite. They don't know jack about anybody and only keep tabs on you after you've been sentenced. I find that more scary.
@Neojhun - well' I'm sure if your fearful enough, the government will be happy to monitor your every move, your every action, your purchases, your video rentals and where you drive. Maybe when your government is constantly looking over your shoulder, you'll feel much safer. Do you need a government camera in your bathroom to be sure you're wiping your butt and flossing properly?
@47f0 well if your giving them that information than you have nothing to hide therefor any information they get is value less because everyone have access to it. if someone is watching me thats kind of creepy, who cares if there watching you as long as if everyone else see you innocent they can't touch you. The FBI only has value when it has access to information that other people don't have, if everyone has access to that then they aren't worth it.
@Tethloach1 - Cool. So you don't mind if I follow you around, 24/7 just watching you? And, BTW, you get to pay your tax dollars for the privilege of me stalking you. There are fundamental, and, as far as I can tell, intractable problems with a government empowered to constantly violate a reasonable expectation of privacy. The reason we limit the power of government is so government can't remove our power to control the government.
@47f0 If your following me 24/7 then you better have some good evidence to do so or else your just wasting your time. Government - guns pointed at those who disagree, police protect the law of the people put in power not the citizens. When did i agree to the government taking my tax dollars its as if they own me because i didn't have a say they just take my money without my consent thats called rape when regular people do it or theft, its a crime just like slavery was a crime, ask people 1st.
His argument is that there's so much information they can't process it all. Well, that's a funny thing about technology, isn't it? When you provide a massive amount of personal information and it's in the interest of those with lots of money to process it all, SOMEONE somewhere is going to discover a way to process ALL of it. What a ridiculous argument.
@bearswilleatme - At some point, you'll be right. However, currently you have to drag humans into the analysis, which ties up expensive resources. But, yeah, if you subscribe to the googletechtalks YT channel, there's some amazing software coming that's going to automate the analysis portion of intelligence gathering. In the meantime - why not make it costly for them to weaken and violate the Fourth Amendment?
It's historically ignorant hipster epiphany nonsense. If we don't get this stuff under control to the point that neither government nor business can monitor our daily lives without damn good reason, our freedoms are more than lost. They will be dead and buried. He seems to be selling the philosophy of Zuckerberg, who would love nothing more than to make a few more billion off of the human species by getting them to reveal every last detail of their lives to marketers. Kiss my fucking ass. NO.
I simply don't agree with his logic. I should have the right NOT to tell Big Brother when I took a shit on April 14th 2004. This guy is accepting the fact that everything is just going to be monitored because that's just the way it is. No. We the people decide such things, provided we lose our ignorance and apathy. Nobody asked us if we wanted cameras on every street corner or if we wanted to have our crotch felt up. It just happened, and it's up to us to say we're not going to put up with it.
@bearswilleatme - Here's the logic. Since the government is clearly determined to scratch off the Fourth Amendment, we should all make it as expensive as possible to do so. If we clog the intelligence-gathering plumbing with a mountain of bogus and trivial data, they'll have to rethink their wet dreams of universal surveillance .
It shows how much wastage the FBI and other agencies have. They cannot seem to go after the right bad-guys and they are just tracking a person "in-case-he-turns-bad"?. This is appalling waste of tax-payer money. It is lunacy at its best, no wonder they did not catch a single terrorist after 911.
@fteoOpty64 Um... no. Yeah, interrogating this guy was a fuck up, but he was never actually arrested, was he? I'd rather have an innocent guy temporarily inconvenienced than a guilty guy go blow something up. And, yes, the FBI has arrested would-be terrorists (like Rezwan Ferdaus in Sept, 2011) before they went through with their plans, which is exactly what you want them to do. Seeing has how there have been no attacks in the US since 9/11, I call it money well spent.
They themselves are bad guys(their floor cleaners are better people) you ought to pay more attention to agent service scum & their institutionalized morally corrupt.. Not actors on TV and film who go through scripted narratives that make it easier for them to rationalize their degeneracy into concepts for the brainwashed masses to feel protected by, while they protect the rackets and corrupt methods they need to abuse to keep society.
ok... too long.... science, give me moar!!! Artsy stuff 5 min of this was ok.... 15... ZzZzZzz i watched 11 and i'm commenting cuz i'm already loosing interest
amazing that the "accident" of the FBI did not result in a lawsuit for invasion of privacy, which ultimately caused Hasan to alter his life in such drastic measures (obviously, in part for self-protection and defense). his "record" / "artwork" is the full compilation / evidence of privacy invasion (he was not invading his OWN privacy - there was a cause and he himself was Not the cause).
Art, I don't know... a record, a history of the banality of everyday life anyone can understand. Ultimately, I do not find it very interesting, but I have never been singled out by the full might and weight of a paranoid government, which may help one relish these trivialities.
this is really old stuff from the bush era. that's why all the year dates are removed. basically he's a reverse-voyeur with OCD. so what? lol this isn't art. twitter does the same thing. is he still giving this talk because people stopped paying attention to him? lol

Did I get this right? : Guy was mistakenly considered a terrorist threat. FBI follows what he is doing. Guy felt offended and overreacted by recording useless information. Guy calls this art.
If the FBI, CIA, NSA, and DHS had any credibility left to save, they blew it targeting this guy. Why did it take more than 6 months to get them (mostly) off his back? His name and enjoyment of foreign travel? Clearly something has gone horribly wrong and we're tumbling deep into fascism here, marrying our too-big-to-fail corps to our government with a propaganda machine to tell us it's for our own good and these totalitarian police state measures to enforce the will of the wealthy elites.
The idea that you can devalue the information by giving them all of it is nonsense. The FBI will just find better ways of combing through all the junk and it makes people who would rather not share everything look more suspicious.
@syntheticsteve 1 of 2 None of any of this matters.... anyone can be framed at any time for any crime. Anyone who keeps to themselves and closes the blinds at their apartment is a terrorist. Hasan behaves almost like a Buddhist in that he refuses to generate negative emotion despite the FBI's unwarranted harassment. He decided to entertain the idea (voluntarily surrendering his rights) and unwittingly demonstrated that "anti-terrorism" is a joke. His message is good.
And people who don't share everything will be labeled as non-complient. This is why a revolution is brewing my friend. Because they think we're stupid. They hire goons and thugs and give them badges and weapons. Our country is run by puppets who are professional conmen, while the true masters are deciding our future. Who cares about looking suspicious?! Educate yourself and defend yourself. Passiveness and willful ignorance are the viruses killing this country.
@cmadodge "And people who don't share everything will be labeled as non-compliant" - you're absolutely correct and it's a crime that people are FORCED to compromise their rights to privacy.
and it was obama who is quoted as saying something to the effect, "if you aren't telling the truth, you must have something to hide" and i consider that to me among the most UN-intelligent ideas to "profess", let alone believe or subscribe to.
@Hackiesacker007 Because the FBI can have it their way or yours, anyway it is, they'll have it! So it might be yours while being the biggest troll on the internet there is! =D
the mundane nature of all these photos is a feature of the talk, not a bug. He cleverly points out that the FBI's commodity is its access to information that nobody else can get. so sharing mundane life information is a way of devaluing the FBI's currency, while taking control over your own information...even if on the individual level it is only symbolic, now that hundreds of millions of people are doing it perhaps it will force the FBI to change the way it does business.
If he shows everything he does, that does in no way make the FBI less valuable or anything. He's just making it easier for them, only now other people can 'spy' on him too.
@SandmonkeyRabbit - Hardly. He's tying up resources used to 'spy' on citizens. It depends on whether you want to live in an Orwellian nation where your every move is documented and tracked, where your every purchase is analyzed, where you're using a little too much water for your pool, so you must be growing pot, where you hit a website that makes you an automatic suspect, where your toll pass shows "unusual" movement... But hey, whatever. It's just your rights at stake.
@47f0 Don't get me wrong, i don't like this lack of interest for privacy from people, but as he is posting everything on his website, it'll cost the FBI hardly any more resources, maybe even fewer. That's my whole point.
@SandmonkeyRabbit - Well, the point is, it's trivial for the government to gather this information - putting a human analyst on it is the real cost, whether the "intelligence" is gathered covertly, or volunteered. For years now, all my emails have contained a sig with randomly-generated "hot-button" words. "Nuclear kiddie porn anthrax Allah terror cocaine weapons uranium..." you get the idea. The concept is to make it prohibitively expensive for the government to violate the Fourth Amendment.
take pitures of everything you and everywhere you go makes it so the FBI can't get any useful information on you? Sounds like Asians are FBI proof then.
With enough $, you could have another person creating all of this info. The info sent can be generated easily enough so you could create blocks of time. This is George Orwells 1984 dream played out, control down to the nth degree.
Hasan KNOWS his "shit"! If you don't understand his "rant", you ARE stupid and you're going to get hacked &/or busted unless you WISE UP!!! BTW, FBI is an acronym for fuck-puppets!!!
jajaja, WOW, I think I can understand the FBI agents, because: What the hell was doing this guy in all those places around the world? Or is just that am I feeling a little envy?
@racpembertondual Shouldn't the FBI have figured out it was your own shadow government who did it. Or are you still breast feeding on the 911 commission report?
so u think that your website is trawled by human agents? it's checked and indexed by filters dude. no need to reinvent insecurity agencies from ground up. all your hard work probably took 0.01 seconds to process.
You shouldn't have to give up your right to privacy to prove that you're not guilty of a crime. He may have found an interesting way to deal with being on the end of FBI suspicion, but it says a lot about the kind of country we have become that this happens at all. Studies show that increased surveillance doesn't prevent more attacks. They want us to believe it's about keeping us safer, but all we have done post 9/11 is allow our civil liberties to be stripped from us.
@StarryEchoes "Studies show." I'm just curious (this isn't a comment to debate with you or anything) -- how can someone do a study on that? Wouldn't it be more like an ex post facto observation? If you have any study links and want to message/reply them to me, I would appreciate it. :)
@IRGUYProductions Their moto is "Ideas worth spreading" and I'm sure that telling stories about your life expresses the ideas you believe in pretty well.
Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have successfuly framed themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.

If the FBI, CIA, NSA, and DHS had any credibility left to save, they blew it targeting this guy. Why did it take more than 6 months to get them (mostly) off his back? His name and enjoyment of foreign travel? Clearly something has gone horribly wrong and we're tumbling deep into fascism here, marrying our too-big-to-fail corps to our government with a propaganda machine to tell us it's for our own good and these totalitarian police state measures to enforce the will of the wealthy elites.

The idea that you can devalue the information by giving them all of it is nonsense. The FBI will just find better ways of combing through all the junk and it makes people who would rather not share everything look more suspicious.
syntheticsteve 4 months ago
@syntheticsteve 1 of 2 None of any of this matters.... anyone can be framed at any time for any crime. Anyone who keeps to themselves and closes the blinds at their apartment is a terrorist. Hasan behaves almost like a Buddhist in that he refuses to generate negative emotion despite the FBI's unwarranted harassment. He decided to entertain the idea (voluntarily surrendering his rights) and unwittingly demonstrated that "anti-terrorism" is a joke. His message is good.

And people who don't share everything will be labeled as non-complient. This is why a revolution is brewing my friend. Because they think we're stupid. They hire goons and thugs and give them badges and weapons. Our country is run by puppets who are professional conmen, while the true masters are deciding our future. Who cares about looking suspicious?! Educate yourself and defend yourself. Passiveness and willful ignorance are the viruses killing this country.

@cmadodge "And people who don't share everything will be labeled as non-compliant" - you're absolutely correct and it's a crime that people are FORCED to compromise their rights to privacy.
and it was obama who is quoted as saying something to the effect, "if you aren't telling the truth, you must have something to hide" and i consider that to me among the most UN-intelligent ideas to "profess", let alone believe or subscribe to.

the mundane nature of all these photos is a feature of the talk, not a bug. He cleverly points out that the FBI's commodity is its access to information that nobody else can get. so sharing mundane life information is a way of devaluing the FBI's currency, while taking control over your own information...even if on the individual level it is only symbolic, now that hundreds of millions of people are doing it perhaps it will force the FBI to change the way it does business.

SandmonkeyRabbit 4 months ago
@SandmonkeyRabbit - Hardly. He's tying up resources used to 'spy' on citizens. It depends on whether you want to live in an Orwellian nation where your every move is documented and tracked, where your every purchase is analyzed, where you're using a little too much water for your pool, so you must be growing pot, where you hit a website that makes you an automatic suspect, where your toll pass shows "unusual" movement... But hey, whatever. It's just your rights at stake.
47f0 4 months ago
@47f0 Don't get me wrong, i don't like this lack of interest for privacy from people, but as he is posting everything on his website, it'll cost the FBI hardly any more resources, maybe even fewer. That's my whole point.
SandmonkeyRabbit 3 months ago
@SandmonkeyRabbit - Well, the point is, it's trivial for the government to gather this information - putting a human analyst on it is the real cost, whether the "intelligence" is gathered covertly, or volunteered. For years now, all my emails have contained a sig with randomly-generated "hot-button" words. "Nuclear kiddie porn anthrax Allah terror cocaine weapons uranium..." you get the idea. The concept is to make it prohibitively expensive for the government to violate the Fourth Amendment.

You shouldn't have to give up your right to privacy to prove that you're not guilty of a crime. He may have found an interesting way to deal with being on the end of FBI suspicion, but it says a lot about the kind of country we have become that this happens at all. Studies show that increased surveillance doesn't prevent more attacks. They want us to believe it's about keeping us safer, but all we have done post 9/11 is allow our civil liberties to be stripped from us.

Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.
A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.
Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have successfuly framed themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
