A lot of people concerned about NSA because of Edward Snowden may not be familiar with the Church Committee, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_Committee.
The Church Committee was a US Senate Committee that looked into illeagal spying by the NSA, FBI, & CIA back in 1975.
I was reminded of it when I read this Gawker article http://gawker.com/after-30-years-of-silence-the-original-nsa-whistleblow-1454865018 on Perry Fellwock (aka Winslow Peck), a former NSA employee turned Whistleblower back in 1971 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry_Fellwock.

Nerd News: TorGuard VPN with Chutzpah
Amusing and interesting article on Ars (though 4chan party van meme is used incorrectly) http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/11/how-one-site-beat-back-botnets-spammers-and-the-4chan-party-van/ about TorGuard, a VPN provider, http://torguard.net/.
Full disclosure: I have not received any monetary or other compensation from TorGuard, though I am certainly interested in such, since I really admire their Chutzpah!
