What Your "Startlingly Intimate, Voyeristic" NSA File Looks Like
ZeroHedge ^ | 7/6/2014 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 07/06/2014 11:43:39 AM PDT by mojito

A few days ago, we asked a simple rhetorical question: "Are you targeted by the NSA?"

The answer, sadly for those reading this, is very likely yes, as it was revealed that as part of the NSA's XKeyscore program "a computer network exploitation system, as described in an NSA presentation, devoted to gathering nearly everything a user does on the internet" all it takes for a user to be flagged by America's superspooks is to go to a website the NSA finds less than "patriotic" and that user becomes a fixture for the NSA's tracking algos.

So assuming one is being tracked by the NSA - or as it is also known for politically correct reasons "intercepted" - as a "person of interest" or worse, just what kind of data does the NSA collect? The latest report by the WaPo titled "In NSA-intercepted data, those not targeted far outnumber the foreigners who are" sheds much needed light on just how extensive the NSA's data collection effort is.

According to WaPo, the files on intercepted Americans "have a startlingly intimate, even voyeuristic quality. They tell stories of love and heartbreak, illicit sexual liaisons, mental-health crises, political and religious conversions, financial anxieties and disappointed hopes. The daily lives of more than 10,000 account holders who were not targeted are catalogued and recorded nevertheless."

Well, of course I’ll finish the story. My wife is here now, and she wants to know how the story ends, too. So here it is.

“And then I realized that this would just be cheap, meaningless sex, and there was somebody out there who was my soul mate and would want me to be untarnished by such tawdry behavior, so I turned and walked away.
I eventually found this wonderful woman who makes it unnecessary to dredge up old relationships because she’s everything I ever dreamed of.
The End”

Right after we were married, I took my wife out to practice with a pistol. She picked up the pistol and said, “Take twenty five paces and then turn sideways to me.”
I did it. She shot all the buttons off my shirt and all I felt was the breeze of the bullets going by.
So you’d finish a story like that, too, if you were married to her.

“What would the Founders do?”

George Washington would in all likelihood be in favor of it.
