Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
It’s shocking because no one could have predicted it.

Multiple branches of the US military have bought access to “petabytes” of American citizens’ private online data via a tool called Augury, giving them access to an almost omniscient set of data points, Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) claimed in a letter to the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) on Wednesday.
The alleged data trove includes an individual’s email communications, browsing history, and other behavioral information, all on demand and without a warrant,
The senator asked the OIG to investigate the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department’s purchase and use of any such records. He cited a report his office received from a military whistleblower regarding the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) buying and using netflow data from data broker Team Cymru.
Netflow data includes proprietary information normally available only to internet service providers, and is likely being provided without the informed consent of those providers – let alone judicial authorization.
Wyden’s own investigation of the whistleblower’s claim appeared to reveal that US Cyber Command, the Army, FBI, and Secret Service had also purchased the company’s data sets. An investigation by Motherboard found they paid a total of $3.5 million to use Team Cymru’s tool Augury, which allegedly can access 93% of internet traffic. It uses a technology called packet capture data (PCAP), which one cybersecurity technology professional referred to as “everything… there’s nothing else to capture except the smell of electricity.”
It was always obvious that domestic spying organizations would be capturing all of this information to use against the population. We have all these records of them doing this already. They were supposed to stop doing it after the Edward Snowden reveals, then they just said they were going to keep doing it.
However, it is quite interesting that the military would be buying the data of US citizens. The FBI doing it is one thing. But why would the military use that data, unless the military is preparing to get involved in domestic operations against the US population?
