One of the easiest ways to feel strong, and to hide from the world, is the sunglasses/headphones combo. By covering your eyes and ears, it sends the world’s largest “don’t talk to me” signal, while keeping any issue far away.

No matter what the issue, unless you die, you’ll have another go at things. Even in love, taking a bow, then coming back later is always an option. Follow your heart.

Brown was accused of being the mastermind behind a robbery attempt. In the “plot,” an armored truck was to be stopped and robbed at gunpoint. In practice, the driver was killed.

While prosecutors could not obtain Brown’s phone records (which would be needed to directly link him to a crime), they used the phone records of other suspects. Brown received multiple calls from one suspect, but otherwise has not been proven to actually have known about the plot. The supposed NSA records would be needed to prove his innocence, as their content would theoretically show that his calls were unrelated.

Specifically, the Guardian leaks documents which suggested that, using the PATRIOT Act and FISA, the government had effectively created a record of every Verizon call, text, and message. The court order has been used to underscore the sheer scale and volume of intelligence gathering schemes that undermine the Constitution, such as PRISM.

The controversial act gives the Executive Branch certain powers to pursue “enemies” and perceived terror threats. These measures tread the line of legality, often stepping over it with secret court approval. While originally intended to allow small, rare intrusions into the law, the measure has now been used to justify PRISM, the capture of Verizon data, and more – all on U.S. citizens.

This, in more common terms, is called a “backdoor.” Destroying the active system, or even modifying it in a noticeable way, is not the goal of a malicious hacker. If that were to occur, the intrusion would be easily detected and closed. Instead, the goal is to allow easy repeat access, keeping a “door” into the system open, while remaining private.

Fort Meade serves as the nerve center for NSA and military information technology procedures. Housing not only the NSA center, but also the Defense Information School and the headquarters of United States Cyber Command, the complex is vital to U.S. espionage and intelligence efforts.

If you missed all three cases:

• PRISM was revealed by the Guardian and Washington Post as a massive, NSA-led online data espionage program. Devised to uncover “foreign” threats, the program has faced harsh criticism for its apparent “wide net” approach to monitoring online communications. The result is potential rights violations on the entire U.S. population.

• It was also revealed that the NSA, in line with the PATRIOT Act and FISA, secured the records of Verizon users in an attempt to achieve the same security goal. While the NSA argues that the “legitimacy” of the emergency powers, combined with the snooping only on targets, reduces the privacy violations, critics point again to the “wide net” approach.

• Edward Snowden, an NSA contractor, revealed himself as the leaker of the NSA PRISM documents, shortly before exiling himself to Hong Kong. While being hailed as a hero by many, he is expected to face charges and possibly “rendering” by a CIA secret camp.
