Yeah, the whole server went down, not sure if it's back up yet. All I said after the Project PM link was "gonna go shower," so you didn't miss anything.
As I said, we're working on a couple of things. If you're interested in getting involved in this sort of activism, this is a good place to start:
Check out the wiki in particular; that's where we're compiling info about firms and governments that use fake online personas in conjunction with advanced signals intelligence in such a way that threatens privacy and transparency and even the integrity of the online discourse. This piece by Steve Ragan, one of the journalists with whom I work on these things (I feed info to a number of journalists in an effort to bring attention to various issues, which is one of our main tactics at this point), will give you a good summary:
Luckily, we also have some backchannel communications going on with Congressional aides who are interested in these sorts of issues and as such we're able to influence investigations that arise, such as the one into HBGary/Palantir/etc. What we do is very effective; all it takes is a bit of time and research and we're able to prompt others to examine things that really need to be examined.
Anyway, let me know if you have any questions. The best way you can help is to do a bit of Googling and fill in info on our wiki if you ever have a spare twenty minutes or so; for instance, we could use more info on the board of trustees at In-Q-Tel, the companies with which they work, etc. You can also send the link to our wiki to others you know who might find this issue of concern.
This is the military man you spoke to. shortly after you gave me the link to project PM, something went down with the site we were speaking on and nothing went through and it would not reconnect, this made me suspicious.
anything after you sending me the link to project PM that you may have said did not get through, that all being said I would greatly like to help with project PM just lemme know what i can do.
