How The NSA Collects Your Internet Data In Four Charts
When it blew the lid open on the NSA domestic spying scandal in conjunction with the Guardian, the Washington Post released the first batch of slides revealing the preliminary details of which Internet firms cooperate in secret with the NSA, unleashing a firestorm of lies and denials by these same private companies (not to mention the administration), whose collaboration with the US government was subsequently revealed to be of symbiotically and mutually beneficial (think massive government contracts and classified data kickbacks in exchange for confidential customer data).
Last night, WaPo released the latest batch of slides given to it by Edward Snowden who appears to have been very busy downloading as much internal NSA info as he could, during his three months at Booz. This time we learn all about the PRISM "tasking" process - or the detail of how the NSA goes about "incidentally" spying on America's citizens (because as much as it is a headline grabber, the NSA spying on the EU, the G-20, and other non-US entities, is after all its job).
From the WaPo:
Acquiring data from a new target
This slide describes what happens when an NSA analyst "tasks" the PRISM system for information about a new surveillance target. The request to add a new target is passed automatically to a supervisor who reviews the "selectors," or search terms. The supervisor must endorse the analyst's "reasonable belief," defined as 51 percent confidence, that the specified target is a foreign national who is overseas at the time of collection.
Analyzing information collected from private companies
After communications information is acquired, the data are processed and analyzed by specialized systems that handle voice, text, video and "digital network information" that includes the locations and unique device signatures of targets.
Each target is assigned a case notation
The PRISM case notation format reflects the availability, confirmed by The Post's reporting, of real-time surveillance as well as stored content.
Searching the PRISM database
On April 5, according to this slide, there were 117,675 active surveillance targets in PRISM's counterterrorism database. The slide does not show how many other Internet users, and among them how many Americans, have their communications collected "incidentally" during surveillance of those targets.

"come on home to the belly of the beast." this was an information dump accident waiting to happen and the damage control has been a disiaster. I know if I were a Congressman (with approval ratinngs the lowest in the History of the Republic) I would want to know "what they know about me." Senator Olympia Snowe who is one of my VERY few post 9/11 heroes defended the right of your real name and real address data to stay secure inside the postal service by saying famously and wonderfully "you have a right to send anonymous love letters through the mail." there are people who still care for our freedoms(and many in the world who yearn for them yes?) in my view. i think Mr Snowden should come home and let that calm voice be heard...and maybe someone in DC will listen first instead of just blithely declaring "he and all the others are enemy combatants."
US has her secret Stasi files. She must obey, otherwise ....
'cepin' we got night vision optics now George.
Steward! Put another turd in the punchbowl please.

If you’re a Congressman or a Senator, and you know NSA is spying on you, because it’s spying on everyone in the Congress, who’s your potential best friend?
Somebody who can go up against the NSA.
And who might that be?
The CIA.
Darkness? What about infra red cameras? No where to run, no where to hide.
I always use my real name as the use of another handle is simply self-delusional.
one of my old aquaintances could be a contractor looking at my handle and laughing his ass off right now at my expense.
"dude, remember xxx? he's on zerohedge posting under the handle troll magnet!"
"you serious?"
rofl
Increase the NSA's budget tenfold. CIA and FBI and everyone else, too. Do it. Hyperinflate if necessary. Deficits don't matter. See what happens.
I can say this because I 1) don't have anything worth taking, and 2) am no use to anyone but myself.
Call it "Operation Overwhelming Farce"
operation duck soup
You are a very dangerous person because you have nothing to lose, you can not be controlled, your name is now on their list of subversives.
Glad to make it to the NSA:s list!!!
It is wonderful that somebody is actually devoted to monitor my life in this lonely planet. I thought nobody would have been interested.
Would it be possible to send some sexy chic to make further investigations at my place??
Janet Napolitano will be there Monday morning, 6am.
With rubber gloves.
Enjoy.
Christ!!! I have a different definition of sexy chic!!!
For a real treat ask her to "take of the gloves."
@ Put_Peter:
I know just how you feel! I never used to think I was special, but knowing that DotGov finds me that interesting is very flattering! I mean, TV with 500+ channels, the internet......and they want to watch ME??!?!?
It'd be great if I could get a contract deal on this. I'd even let them put cameras up at Casa de Croesus. There's a lot of things that my internet browsing, and metadata won't tell them.....that I'd be willing to share for the right price.
I just thanked them with my Facebook status update. Maybe theres a chic coming soon :)
Oh, your very own reality show. Can I have one too?
I was hoping some hot chic from the NSA would come to my house as well. Can't beat that personal touch!
Their idea of hot chicks is somewhat underwhelming. Look at the two honey pot matta hari's Petreaus sold out for. The Lebanese chick with the Irish name and the somewhat preppy chick/beltway social climber (Paula Broadwell aka c**t). Both of them had b**b jobs and they were nothing special.
The Russians at least had Anna Chapman who looked good in makeup but without makeup should could have been any chick in the midwest.
This is a democrat administration, they might send somebody from NSA that is very hot for your body but be the same sex. They have ways of making you suck.
i always use bill gates name.
i do as well savage, depends on the shape of the turd though, some days i have a bill gates, others i have a bama turd, much softer, stinkier, but with more lube involved. dont get me started on a harry reid turd, those bithches have spures and without question a pelosi turd can and does sometimes move backwards and re-enters the colon for even more fun n games.
So if it is your job, dear NSA, to spy on me, since I am located overseas, I may as well save you some hard work on a sunday morning, by outright telling you what I am doing:
I am cogitating!
Cogitation, my lads, is that process by which the wise make space inside their minds for more ideas. And, boys, ideas are normally sold by volume, not by weight. It's best to let them settle, so one can find more room at the top. ;-)
"Wealthy in his healthy way
Never works, he never plays
Sits around and cogitates
He's inventing the original sin now..."
Brutus is not a man to be trusted, he sits in the house behind the house and cogitates.
Where is LINKEDIN!!!
I never see this mentioned with Prism. Is that because it captures the whole bankster-complex and the fact that they are spying on themselves is above top secret??
Fuck I really hate Linksink, or whatever the fuck you call it!!! "Hey look at me, I'm a professional career person wanker..because I'm on fucking Lintkin man!!!??" Horsehit!!!! I got denied an interview because I wasn't on Likinnit, or whatever the fuck its called!!!
It should be more like.. You get an interview because your NOT on liknits, or whatever the fuck its called!!!! Hope someone rams a virus right up their networking BS shite!
edit: I have to rant sometimes and I apologise. Its just that that kind of thing really gets on my tits!
But you don't understand, my dear chub, you are simply not a professional if you don't have a LNKD. Because, you know, only professionals have one. And since you are not a professional, you cannot be interviewed.
I'm sorry you had to experience that.
I refuse to be on that piece of shit website. What is the point of all the redundancy? A resume, an application, and a profile on "Linked In"?
Sorry employers, "Who I know" is none of your goddamned business.
I am retired but give general investment advice to friends and family so i check financial adviser when queried on some registration forms consequently linkedin has me thus listed along with dozens of others as a professional financial adviser. Loading data bases with misleading information works to neutralize their effectiveness.
And they claim they don't record text or email of our communications.
BULLSHIT.
Fuck the government, the fucking useless thugs.
Wityh the CEO's of Google and Facebook on Obama's re-election committee (Eric Schmidt was offered an Ambassadorship by Obama) it cetainly raises some interesting questions regarding the "surpise" loss by Romney. The bookies never flinched however. Their odds were still heavily in favor of Obama even when Romney was leading in the polls.
Who gives a shit? They were both thoroughly vetted by the Dickheads. Romney comes from a crime family almost as renowned as the Bushes. Now if Ron Paul had run in the election third party .......Well, we saw what they did to him in Iowa and Maine. Electoral politics above the local level will not do squat to get the boot off our throats.
There is ONLY ONE WAY to fix this problem.
Is anybody tracking how many US Citizens are being killed a day by the police? My guess, it is far more then the terrorists are killing.
Remember the terris hate us for our freedoms!
Oh, for heaven sake, with electronic voting they can "elect" whomever they want. Really, why bother anymore.
To be frank I still find it quite amusing that the sheeple are actually shocked by these stories. I mean for fucks sake it was pretty bloody clear this was going on from the onset... wasn't it?
Use a decent Linux distro (no - not Ubuntu - apart from being crap it tracks you too), Firefox or one of it's equivelants, ghostery for blocking, startpage or equivelant for searching. No friggen skype (there are open source plug ins instead) and you're pretty much good to go.
And no the ancient "Linux is hard to use" might have been an excuse (even if an extremely poor one - what is your personal life worth to you?) 20 years ago but these days it's easier to use than M$. I put it on an old computer for a relative in her late 70's a few years ago and she prefered it to such a degree that she insisted her new laptop come not with Windoze but linux. No shit.
The "new" Ubuntu is creepy as fuck, makes me sick to my stomach. As of 12.10, I think Sploogebuntu officially calls home.
Try 'Debian' or a derivative thereof, like 'Siduction' ...
Puppy is the only linux I feel absolutely safe using, and for good reason.
http://puppylinux.org/main/Overview%20and%20Getting%20Started.htm
Well, you are right, but - that's not for the faint-hearted ;-) (even less so than Debian)
I'm sticking with Slack for now - which is what I started on in the 90's so it may be a mid life reminiscing thing; I did the whole Gentoo experiment for the speed advantage and choice of setup but after a few years realised it didn't cut it given the extra 'housekeeping' that was required. Zen is bloody good and quick, as is Sidux. For Newbs (of which the above mentioned relative was one) I suggest Mint.
Might wack Puppy on my netbook though - once again merely to bring back memories ;)
Being part of the "Sidux" association I have to inform you that it isn't a distribution of its own anymore. That's why I mentioned "Siduction", which is it's replacement, made by mostly the usual suspects.
Cheers for the info. Sidux in itself was a really nice distro. Any chance of you sharing what happened?
I hate Slashdot.
Oh, wait - this isn't Slashdot?
It's no secret. "Sidux e.V." does still exist, but the focus changed to the distribution of open source software, away from developing it on our own. The developers have gone to "Aptosid" or "Siduction", the former being distributed by the Sidux e.V., but the latter being what to look for if you want to just replace Sidux with minimal effort. As I said, it's being developed by the usual suspects, including some former members of Sidux. Sidux and it's comfort is not completely lost - it just has another name: "Siduction"
(By the way, I regard "Mint" as a fairly good choice, too.)
I have no idea what any of you are talking about.
Don't run with SCISSORS!
NSA I hope you Fucking choke on "my data".
To the Cunts at the NSA making loads of money on the side with this theft. Karma is going to catch up with you and your loved ones.
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
The extreme pride or arrogance (Hubris) of the Americans will surely be followed by Nemesis or devine retribution
I'm not to worried about NSA spying at the moment cause i beleive the majority of the 117,000 on the list are their own snoops.
If I worked for NSA and had to attend classes that used the above graphics and acronyms, and then in a manager led Q&A, feed back and convince him I understood, and, if I had to then return to my desk to look at the PUKE on my many screens, and, if I then felt the pressure of having to "perform" using the above tools, and if I was evaluated for the quality of my use of the above tools, and I was remotely monitored by supervisors in the self same office environment, I'd definitly figure a way to GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE! Quit. Take up leatherwork, car detailing, swap meets, car boots, neighborhood gardening, janitorial, fast food. ANYTHING! Septic tank pumpers get a decent income. Welding?
I give neither explicit nor implicit consent for the government to monitor all of my communications.
If the government is doing so, it must cease and desist immediately.
Think about that.
+1 yet it seems I can't upvote you.
There is something odd with the voting system on this site, because my single up vote gave the post +5!
Methinks that's because some people upvoted him/her while you had the page up, but before you refreshed it again.
An attempt to put this whole thing into perspective.....
The depth of involvement in spying between these large named corporates and the government is not casual or trivial as they would have people believe. The relationships are far too technical for that. They're obviously relationships which are the result of many meetings/discussions (face to face and probably in writing) and executive decisions over a long period. These have resulted in the creation of a spying architecture that is integrated into their own corporate systems and operational activities.
Yet publicly, these same corporations present themselves as pioneers of free market enterprise. Whereas in fact they are corporatists working part-time for the government for mutual benefit. This is exactly what happened in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. It's often overlooked that some of Germany's largest corporations and industrialists worked with the Nazi Party and even funded it.

Hehehe,
Morning all. I find it somewhat ironic that the NSA would devote not just time, person speaking, but money and resources following someone like me. Its mind boggling thinking that the NSA, and the vast resoures behind it would be interested to find out what a bloke from the north east of England would have to say about the affairs of the world through an Anonymous forum on ZH.
What a fucking obcene waste of money boys. I must be the most uninteresting person I know. Monday, go to work, come in from work, have a beer, look on the web, go to ZH, swear like fuck for a while, go to bed, rinse and repeat.
The only thing these fuckers might have on me is I like wearing my wifes clothes when shes not in :-), other than that NSA, you are wasting your time watching Inthemix, and anyhoo, I could give two fucks, fuck off, both you lot, and the horse faced whores who brought you into the world to do such a dispicable job.
Jack in, convince your co-workers you are just a drain on an already stretched society, and do something productive with what remains of your quite clearly wasted lives.
Fucking fools, there is more to life knowing 96 likes his wifes bras and knickers.
;-)
Well, like they say, you dont have anything to worry about, then.
Well until men in bras and knickers are determined to be 'dangerous' to children, or some corporations 'efficiency' but til then, carry on.
Dairy cows don't do much either but the farmer still needs to watch them.
You are livestock as far as the government is concerned.
The terrorists surely know how to encrypt their communications and interact online in a stealthy manner designed to avoid the NSA and other government spies. It's folks like me, who have blissfully assumed they have a modicum of privacy, since they have never done anything in their lives that indicate they want to harm anyone, who will be swept up in this data collection activity. Based on past performance by our government, it will be the American born and bred who criticize this government's overreach, trampling of liberties, destruction of the Constitution, and destruction of our economy by the Fed who number in the 117,675 "active surveillance targets."
It's the folks who haven't felt a need to learn how to use Tor and are clueless when it comes to encrypting anything who will be swept up in this. Surely the NSA is aware of that fact. As usual, it is your law abiding citizen who gets the short end of the stick.
yep... locks are there to keep honest people honest... the crooks don't care and there's little that can be done to stop them
Wondering if it was PRISM which brought down Petraeus?
Actually....the FBI will claim credit to taking down Petreaus, just doing really good detective work.
When in actuality, it was the NSA itself that had the goods on the CIA director.
Even though these as swipe spooks have the intel on these frigging foreign drug dealers spreading death on American soil, can't drone those fuckers, because they have rights, not American citizen rights, but BANKSTER rights.
Those stories about the CIA flooding Crack cocaine into the streets of our cities back in the 80's? Remember? They were just tinhatconspiracy theory stories.
Iran took down carter

Dear Google,
As a shareholder, I DEMAND to know exactly how you are using my property to assist the government.
Sending out a detailed, auditable technical manual of procedures would be helpful.
I would also like the allocation of government information assistance programs impacts to financials you are and have provided in the past. Specifically. Revenue, EBITDA, net contribution earnings. As well as any business performance metrics you have created internally to manage this activity.
They'll spy and spy and spy, but they still won't get the goods on Corzine, Dimon, Blankfein et al. Neither will they get the goods on those who should prosecute them but don't. Neither will they ever explain what happened to the TARP money, let alone everything that came after that. They'll spy and spy and spy and yet the drug trade will continue as it always did, bankers will continue to loan money to idiots who cannot afford to repay ... (... because we all know what will happen if people only buy stuff if they can afford it.)
That's because their all "in" on it.
The Global Criminal Oligarch Cabal Bankster Intelligence Crime Syndicate.
When an innocent man stands trial, he already knows whether or not he is guilty. He doesn't discover whether or not he is guilty. He discovers whether or not the court is competent (or corrupt).
When NSA or anyone else spies on an innocent person, that person discovers whether or not the spies are competent or corrupt.
You don't know what it means for NSA to spy on me. But I know it means that, at the very least, they are incompetent and wasting taxpayer money.
Interesting redactions on that 4th slide: The URL at the top of the page and a three caracter acronym of an agency(? probably IRS - lol) claiming "Top Secret" status.
Widespread spying, private or "public", really means large scale corporate espionage fullstop. Your business will survive until "they" want your customers. Then you will be broke. Goodbye internet if you want to survive.
Interesting to hear from one of the other NSA whistle blowers, Russ Tice, on who it is that the NSA targets:
“They went after–and I know this because I had my hands literally on the paperwork for these sort of things–they went after high-ranking military officers; they went after members of Congress, both Senate and the House, especially on the intelligence committees and on the armed services committees and some of the–and judicial,”
and also
"...the NSA had ordered wiretaps on phones connected to then-Senate candidate Barack Obama back in 2004."
So how does that tie in with only spying on us foreigners? Are these guys all terrorists too? (Well Odrone'a is obviously but how could they have known that he would turn out so evil back in 2004?).
It does look like a massive blackmail operation/power grab by a bunch of unelected generals but I guess there could be an innocent explanation.
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/06/20/bush-era-nsa-whistleblower-makes-most-explosive-allegations-yet-about-true-extent-of-govt-surveillance/
I'd take a bunch of unelected generals over the shit we have in office. If they're blackmailing their illegitimate commander in chief, I say more power to 'em.
Are you from Cairo?
The name of the game is BLACKMAIL!
You're right.
And this pervasive spying is only partly connected to identifying terrorists. That is simply the public explanation for it to keep the sheeple happy and to provide MSM with a suitable excuse for not wailing about it. Much of it is directly related to creating control files (aka 'dirt') on people who are - or want to be - important figures in public life and many other ordinary people. Possessing dirt on people means they can be controlled and managed by the State. Just like it was under the East German Stasi regime.
An example of this was the targeting of Tea Party members by the IRS.
From recent revelations, another large part of it is plain old industrial and diplomatic/political espionage. The latter might be excused because many countries get involved in that, although the techniques used by the US-NSA & UK-GCHQ are possibly more advanced.
Obama could be considered a foreign person because he was born a subject of the U.K. from his Kenyan father.
NSA could use this fact to justify his surveillance, but what about the constitutional requirement that a president be a "natural born" citizen?
P.S.
Dear NSA, Go ahead and add me (a U.S. citizen with no foreign affilations) to your "target list". I don't care if you kill me with a drone strike but please no polonium poisoning!

Considering that:
* General medicine teaches that the average human farts 12-18 times per day
* There are over 100 million iPhones in circulation around the world
* iPhone users will frequently carry the device in their rear pants pocket
* PRISM is, potentially, listening to all iPhones, all of the time
I wonder if NSA has developed "flatulence detection algorithms" that automatically scrub the sound from their recordings out of general decorum and consideration of their employees?
If YES, then there may be ways for terrorists to hide their communications in these sounds.
Sick bastards.
Occasionally I carry a "dumb phone". One of those 15 buck jobs that you can receive calls on or call out on. It takes pictures and recordings too, like big deal. I turn it of and leave it on the table in my room 15 days out 30. I remember the day when you had to be physically in a room where your phone was locate in order to make or receive a call. I like that paradigm. My phone stays in my room more and more. The only reason I carry it is because my wife is a phone addict: yeah, the type that HAS to answer. Me? I'll let it ring. If you don't leave a message, then I have no reason to talk to you.
Are you a slave to your phone. If you are -- you're an idiot. Idiot!
What's that? I couldn't quite make that out?
Divine my ass. :)

EU's super pissed....Snowden for 'predident'!
http://rt.com/news/eu-demand-clarification-us-spying-440/
What a bag of wind.
If he is really outraged he will arrange for Snowden's asylum. Instead he will spread his Bildercheeks wider.
George Stephanopoulos just just talked about the US spying on EU offices. He said it's expected.
It's no longer about morality, individual rights, democracy, security, etc. It's just an endless barage of propaganda to convince us it's all good, no matter what.
When all else fails the US has thousands of nukes.
Too bad her enemies have more than enough too; at least if you don't have a rad-hardened bunker to hang in post-exchange.

The job I want is figuring out names for all these initiatives at NSA. Full time, maybe with a modicum of overtime. Steady work, good pay, minimal pressure, bright future.
hmmm, ONLY 118,000 potential terraists? I wonder how many more have been created since the outing of these azzholes?
I wonder if they have statistics on how many new terraists are created for each drone strike?
Fascist fvcks.
Oh my. What has happen to my country since the 1950 when I was raise as a post WWII Air Force Brat (curious now how the NSA catagorized that). I don't even try to hide my identity -- use to-- don't anymore. "Torak?" I loved that comic book as a kid. Native American stuck in a deep unclimbable valley full or prehistory animals. What a classic. So I'll use the alias here...I'm sure you can figure out who I am. What difference does it make. I don't even care anymore. Why? I'll leave that up to you to figure out.
Dont read, Geeky tech stuff for software geeks like me.
While I was/am drinking coffee this morning, just for fun I went to the DARPA web site and searched for the word PRISM.
That came up with a few hits, a few of those led to thses below. Interesting software used to collect random events and tie them together statistically.

The buzzards in the sky get so dizzy they can't fly just from sniffin' that good ole mountain dew.
Thankfully we have the 4th Amendment which protects us from that.
Unfortunately, the BushObama regimes went and added "footnoted exceptions" to that Amendment which pretty much make it just a damned piece of paper now.

Look on the bright side, you don't have to leave the house to protest now.
And somebody will actually care
complete with cyber tear gas, cyber police beatings, all laid out on a realistic 3D game background of Chicago in the 60's? with cyber arrests, cyber trials, the cyber Seven? .the only thing we haven't done is cyber attack the convention, so the avatar of Humphrey can win the nomination, and the avatar of Nixon can get elected..
Apart from that, I'm both gratified and in awe of Edward Snowden. Yes, I think he has done us a great favor, really sacrificing his life (though I hope it doesn't come to that) to square his conscience. Many people who'd like to blow the whistle don't have a trusted press helper to ensure the whistle is heard. My hat's off to Greenwald as well for the important role he's played here.
Snowden heard tyranny's call A Hero concerned for us all Courageous and brave A nation to save He stood when they told him to crawl! The Limerick Kingbe very afraid, the EUcrats are angry, spiegel internatinal:
"Senior European Union officials are outraged by revelations that the US spied on EU representations in Washington and New York. Some have called for a suspension of talks on the trans-Atlantic free trade agreement."
"The documents also indicate the US intelligence service was responsible for an electronic eavesdropping operation in Brussels"
"The documents show that the NSA is more active in Germany than in any other country in the European Union."
"It would seem that the secret services have gotten out of control. The US should monitor their own secret services rather than their allies."
"It defies belief that our friends in the US see the Europeans as their enemies"
"They have completely lost all balance. George Orwell is nothing by comparison."
"Markus Ferber, accused the US on Sunday of using methods akin to the feared East German secret police, the Stasi"
"The EU must immediately suspend negotiations with the US over a free trade agreement"
"How are you supposed to negotiate when you have to worry that your negotiating positions were intercepted," he asked." (LOL)

Der SPIEGEL announces tomorrow's cover story:
NSA Spied on European Union Offices: "America's NSA intelligence service allegedly targeted the European Union with its spying activities. According to SPIEGEL information, the US placed bugs in the EU representation in Washington and infiltrated its computer network. Cyber attacks were also perpetrated against Brussels in New York and Washington."
German Prosecutors To Review Allegations of US Spying"SPIEGEL has learned that the German Federal Prosecutors' Office is looking into allegations that a US intelligence agency has conducted massive spying against German citizens. A first formal complaint has already been lodged in one city."
'Out of Control': EU Official Questions Trade Negotiations"Senior European Union officials are outraged by revelations that the US spied on EU representations in Washington and New York. Some have called for a suspension of talks on the trans-Atlantic free trade agreement."
Now, this is getting really intersting......

........meanwhile it appears all of the problems facing Americans at home have been solved, so we read this morning:
"CAPE TOWN, South Africa -- President Obama on Sunday will unveil a new initiative to expand access to electricity in sub-Saharan Africa, in a speech that will point to Nelson Mandela's work as evidence of the potential for rapid transformation on the continent.
Obama's initiative, dubbed Power Africa, will attempt to double the number of people with access to electricity in sub-Saharan Africa, White House officials said. The president will announce an initial commitment of $7 billion over five years, federal money that will add to private investment and partnerships in six African countries. The first phase will aim to expand access to 20 million households and businesses, officials said."
$7 billion in Fed funds to Africa.....glad that money is not needed here at home.
There is money to be made everywhere:
“The science-fiction part has become a reality,” he said, “and there’s a growing need for products that offer privacy.”

Blow me NSA and the rest of you spying pricks. Spy on this. You've fucking ruined an entire nation and culture with your incessant bullshit.
http://www.boatingaccidentnews.com/take-me-out-of-this-ball-game/
I have just requested audience with the St Cloud City Council on this matter and have requested that it be added to the agenda of business to conduct for the next meeting. I will stand and speak. Bullshit is bullshit and it needs to be called out. I know how this game works.
Well, they obviously didn't care about the bitch that I threw down the stairs.
Everyone should insert key words into all their messages bomb and converstations. That assainate should scramble president their systems so much liberty that everyone becomes allah a target.

In the mid 70s I was working for a company developing software sold to colleges and universities. This was the era of punch cards, 7 track tapes, green bar paper and 40MB disk drives the size of minivans. Much of the work then was conversion of manual processes to computer. The products consisted of Students, Faculty, Courses, Registration, Facilities etc. We had numerous customers in the US and some internationally.
The faculty and students at a New York institution had concerns about this and even had a small demonstration - citing the unpleasantness of just a few decades earlier and the still lingering stench of burning human flesh, enhanced by the simple tabulating machines of the day.
Their concerns were taken seriously.
We've come a long, long way, babiez.
FEAR agency tracks most dangerous alien
According to the NSA , "You ARE a beautiful and unique snowflake."
Peek-a-boo! I hear, see and know all!
I'm not really Irish.
But the government can't balance a fucking budget or prevent economic fraud.
If you know about it, then you are meant to. This security leak nonsence is the right hand at work while the same fuckers furhter their advance towards Iran with thier left.
Bullshit. Nothing else matters. The NSA story is the only story. All other events pale to this. They are distracting no one, from anything. This is the only thing to be addressed because if it isn't, nothing else matters ever again.
You don't think this will all be out in the open with a declaration of war?
@ Leraconteur:
The NSA spying on people has been going on for a long time....long before Snowden came along. Project Echelon, Operation Carnivore come to mind, and it's even earlier than that.
There's nothing new under the sun, the only difference is, Snowden's case brings it to public attention.
Unless you're suddenly going to change things, expect that it will continue.
My 4 metrics described below if they were adheared to, you wouldn't need to spy on Americans.
1) Follow the Constitution, Bill of Rights, that's what it's there for.
2) It's not criminal to be a Patriot, you say it is though. MIAC Report.
3) Stop every illegal war and send our troops home.
4) Stop defiling everything We the People hold dear to our hearts about America.
See? No more spying needed. Unless... your the real criminals that need to find out when Americans collectivly take a stand and say ENOUGH!
I can see why you would need to know what were talking about. Frightning proposition isn't it PTB?
I am an American citizen being taxed to pay for a system that violates my right to privacy and undermines our system of government by providing opportunities to blackmail its critics. God help us.
Simple .... stop paying taxes
We have choices, whether we choose to exercise them is a whole different story..
1) We can all file our taxes next April 15th stating - Since I do not wish to share my financial information with you, I am pleading the fifth amendment..
Or, everyone declare 11 Million Illegals as deductions or how ever many they give citizenship.
If all else fails, see ya'll at the Fema Camp..
THERE IS NOTHING TO DISTRACT US FROM. This is IT. Nothing else is more important. Nothing else matters if this is not scrutinised, addressed, fixed, remedied and reversed, and all over every MSM site, every blog, every forum, every Reddit page, every comment thread, everywhere, in all languages.
The only thing that matters is that this is stopped, because if it isn't nothing else will matter, ever. The US.Gov will become a turnkey, 1984, totalitarian state, and they will rule, control and rendite everyone and anyone on this planet.
There are no more important matters. This is the only issue.

Will? Is?
How stupid can you be? Doncha get it?
The Snowden disclosures are intentional!!!
Americans don't care, and nothing will change except people will self-censor any expressions of "dissidence."
This is EXACTLY the desired result!
you forgot Operation USB StickEwidget - but that is on the fifth chart.....
You guys know that comments poster Million Dollar Bonus was joking, don't you? I was lmao as I read his post. I thought I'd best point this out as I saw he had 137 down arrows. I know the world is upside down these days, but surely you can take a fucking joke!
