Obama's Snooping Scandal: Made in Silicon Valley? [ Google has partnered with the DNC on apps ]
breitbart.com ^ | June 7 2013 | by Wynton Hall

On Thursday, Americans learned that since 2007 the National Security Agency (NSA) has operated a top-secret program called PRISM that vacuums up the actual contents--not just so-called metadata, as with the National Security Agency’s phone record collections--of emails, video and voice chat, photos, Skype calls, web chats, videos, file transfers, and social networking communications.

PRISM circumnavigates the need for court orders and allows the NSA to directly tap and mine data from America’s biggest technology companies like Google, Apple, Facebook, and others.

This is how they won the election, along with all the coverups.

Wouldn’t be surprised if the DNC wasn’t getting the same technology and data feeds

Wired magazine had a big article on Prism not too long ago.

Corporatism at its worst. And these are the companies that the OWS tards never attack (all the while using their products of course).

When you have capitalism in combination with a big government, you almost always get a hybrid socialist-corporatist kleptocracy. Bloated industries decide to get a leg-up on the competition by partnering with political forces. In exchange for regulating opponents out of existence, the government ruling class gets big-money promotion. The traditional labor unions may be dying, but this is the modern incarnation. Google is the new teacher’s union, and it’s teaching Lenin’s 96 year old crap.

Assume that every form of communication, including this one, is compromised.

Not surprised.

I watched in mounting horror and dismay as google systematically “disappeared” over half a million hits on image searches for “Obama birth certificate” in mid July, 2008.

“Don’t be evil” my fundament.

Yep, and as an added bonus, the U.S. population would decline by 60-70% in three months time.

FACEBOOK denies involvement:
"Facebook is not and has never been part of any program to give the US or any other government direct access to our servers. We have never received a blanket request or court order from any government agency asking for information or metadata in bulk, like the one Verizon reportedly received. And if we did, we would fight it aggressively. We hadn’t even heard of PRISM before yesterday."

GOOGLE denies involvement:
"First, we have not joined any program that would give the U.S. government—or any other government—direct access to our servers. Indeed, the U.S. government does not have direct access or a “back door” to the information stored in our data centers. We had not heard of a program called PRISM until yesterday."

Notice both are VERY SIMILAR?
