The big news today is that a random woman has been shot by law enforcers outside of the White House. Miriam Carey, who was fired as a dental assistant for being too rough with patients took her baby for on an extremely dangerous car ride around the White House this past Thursday. Despite multiple news outlets reporting a shooter in DC, she was not armed. The only shooters were the police who killed her. Her body was so badly torn apart by the gunfire, that in the end, the gunmen were not even sure who it was they had killed. At this time it is unknown what will become of her 2-year-old child who was in the back seat.
In Peaceful Resistance news, Blogger Dean Tea tipped off Peace News Now about a little old lady who is standing up to big government. Government agents in Canada are working to punish 89-year-old Audrey Tobias for failing to comply with a law called the Statistics Act. Even though the law was written in 1918 by politicians who’ve long been dead, the Statistics Act makes it a crime to refuse to submit to a government survey, and carries a penalty of 90 days in jail. Audrey refuses to comply with government demands because of American Weapons Producer Lockheed Martin is involved in the census. She says that the Canadian census should be run by Canada and not a private US weapons manufacturer. Because of that, she won’t check the boxes on their form, and she’s willing to take the maximum penalty. She says paying a fine is like admitting guilt, and she doesn’t think she’s doing anything wrong. She’s not the only one. In 2011, 54 other Canadians were targeted by their government for not filling out this piece of paper. Should people lose their freedom for refusing to fill out a census form?

The founder of Lavabit is a total badass. Not only did whistleblower Edward Snowden use Lavabit’s secure email service, but Lavabit’s founder won’t comply with government demands to spy on its users. It’s like this: The FBI wanted certain information about Snowden’s emails. Lavabit told them that while they had the ability to decrypt their customer’s email info and send it to the government, they weren’t going to do that. A government judge threatened to jail the site’s owner, Ladar Levison, if he refused to comply with the government’s demands. Ladar refused. On July 9, government lawyers asked the judge to jail Levison for disobedience. A week later, they demanded a search warrant for the information needed to decrypt communications, such as encryption keys and SSL keys. With the SSL keys, and a wiretap, the FBI could have decrypted all web sessions between the site and it’s 400,000 users. Levison went to court on August 1st to fight the demands, but the judge ruled in favor of the government.
Now here’s why Lavabit’s founder is so awesome: Levison complied the next day by turning over the private SSL keys as an 11 page printout in 4-point type. The government lawyers complained to the judge, quote, “To make use of these keys, the FBI would have to manually input all 2,560 characters.” One wrong keystroke, and it won’t work. The judge ordered Levison to provide an electronic copy. By August 5, Lavabit was still resisting the order, and the judge ordered that Levison would be fined $5,000 a day beginning August 6 until he handed over electronic copies of the keys. Instead, on August 8, Levison closed Lavabit, making any attempt at surveillance moot. He was still under a gag order, so he posted an oblique message saying he’d been left with little choice in the matter. Quote, “I have been forced to make a difficult decision: to become complicit in crimes against the American people or walk away from nearly 10 years of hard work by shutting down Lavabit. After significant soul searching, I have decided to suspend operations.”
