The NSA Has Been Creating Maps of American Citizens' Social Networks...

The NSA has been graphing American’s social networks and plotting them as they do organized crime since at least 2010, according to the latest published Edward Snowden leak.

The highly secretive intelligence agency has been mapping out American citizens’ social connections – identifying associates, determining locations, and logging who they talk to – by taking advantage of loosened rules previously meant to restrict surveillance actions.

As far back as November, 2010, the agency authorized spies to conduct ‘large-scale graph analysis on very large sets of communications metadata without having to check foreignness,’ the New York Times revealed Saturday.

The answer is, muslim jihadists are not their enemies — we are.

Yup. There have been multiple memos within fedgov warning of the threat of internal terrorism from the right wing. To a red diaper doper baby like zero, we are the threat.

I always think of a guy I know who posted on FB that I was a dumb p.o.s. for believing the government used FB to spy on us. About two weeks later the news broke about the NSA. I’d like to know what he has to say today. But not enough to actually talk to the dumb p.o.s.

Redundant.

Most of “corporate America” does the same via your Internet habits and purchasing habits, does the same.

ObamaCare will do the same, starting Oct. 1, 2013, enabling many more government agencies to do the same.

Thus missing out on a good “I told you so” moment.

FR is my social network - sorry for putting Y’all on the map.

If they can find all if that out, why the hell did they send me a census the other day, which I filled out with name and address only.

We have a mujahadeen administration - just wow

[Old Sarge]

Were they ordered to stand down on that info?

I could scream.

I could just scream.

To see intelligence collection of an SCI nature, directed against US citizens, for no other reason that they are against the regime of the illegitimate, bisexual, Marxist Kenyan Muslim Usurper.

Can you hear me screaming?

Most of the 47 % riding in the “free” wagon seek out slavery, and lack of personal choice.

"KNEEL!

Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state?

It's the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation.

The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for power. For identity.

You were made to be ruled.

In the end, you will always kneel!"

Buried DEEP within the article:

First denied permission by the Bush administration, President Obama’s predecessor green lit the operation shortly before leaving office in 2008, according to the Times.

BUSH'S FAULT!

Barry’s campaign used this social networking mapping to lock in commitments to get voters to the polls. I suspect that some part of Barry’s $1 billion campaign war chest went to mapping and defeating “birther” eligibility eruptions after Arpaio tried to surface BC forgery evidence.

I can't help but wonder which does Odinga consider a greater threat: the NBC eligibility issue, or keeping secret his latent homosexuality?

Judging from the trail of bodies who could "finger" him (pun intended), it's the latter.

If they can find all if that out, why the hell did they send me a census the other day, which I filled out with name and address only.

Because the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

No apologies necessary, friend. We all came here willingly.

And despite Big Brother's snooping, we all stay here willingly.

I suspect these people who have exposed their entire life and those of their loved ones on social media will come to regret that very much.

Social media is but one of many areas of privacy that Big Brother's tentacles reach into. The fedgov has lots of other vectors to find and track you.

On LinkedIn, a networking site for business people, you can see who viewed your profile. I was shocked last month when “US Department of Justice, Criminal Investigation” visited my profile.

I are innocent! At least now I know it was nothing personal. They do it to everyone.
