The NSA has a “brand new” technology that enables one billion cell phone calls a day to be redirected into its data hoards and stored, according to the Guardian’s Glenn Greenwald, who said that a new leak of Snowden’s documents was ‘coming soon.’
Calling it part of a “globalized system to destroy all privacy,” and the enduring creation of a climate of fear, Greenwald outlined the capabilities of the NSA to store every single call while having“the capability to listen to them at any time,” while speaking via Skype to the Socialism Conference in Chicago, on Friday.
Greenwald was the first journalist to leak Snowden’s documents, having travelled to Hong Kong to review them prior to exposure.
“What we’re really talking about here is a globalized system that prevents any form of electronic communication from taking place without its being stored and monitored by the National Security Agency,” he said.
While he underlined that the NSA are not necessarily listening in on the full billion calls, he pointed out their capability to do so and the lack of accountability with “virtually no safeguards” which the NSA were being held to.
The Guardian journalist made hints that he was sitting on further details of the NSA’s billion-call backlog, which he’d keep under wraps until the documents full publication, which he said was “coming soon.”
He additionally suggested future exposures to come from Snowden, while lauding the sheer risk the whistleblower took in revealing the NSA’s covert surveillance program.

Alas Babylon! was a cold war era post atomic attack novel by Pat Frank, set in central Florida about 1960.
Quite good, it set the bar for the genre.
Twotone is one of the heroes, a negro so nicknamed because one half his face was darker than the other.
FR’s Alas Babylon! took his name from the book.
Hi Darks,
Nothing to worry about, Just had to threaten Nully with your Coffee to be admitted to his Ping list.
He insists on a MOD threat ,not my style, so it was a Coffee threat.
Only one coffee on the Planet would suffice. LOL+
Hows tricks?
I’ll have to add it to my reading list.
“Unngh”tacular.
Gotta head back out into the night until 0430 in the morning.

- We can call it:
“AREA 69”
- in honor or Barack Hussein Obama II

If you can’t find it (and you should be able to, it’s intermittently still in print and is a frequent flier on school reading lists) I’d be happy to loan you my copy.
Okay Darks,
I’m right with you! :)
Big Brother is listening to you.
Hey, it used to be the butler done it.. now it’s the janitor. :-)
One billion? Jeez, that's more than a million, Dee Dee (or is it?) No wonder they have to outsource the job of listening to them to one billion Chinese and almost one billion Indians.
Perhaps the real conspiracy is an effort to save the postal service by frightening the masses to revert to non-digital communications. It just might work! ;-)
“Greenwald’s a socialist... my guess - the ‘old school’ kind - aka a communist...”
The problem for Communist regimes is many of their useful idiots actually BELIEVE the “power to the people” stuff they cram down everybody’s throat.
When the footsoldiers realize the promised Utopia isn’t Utopia, but rather a tyranny, some of them panic and flip on their masters.
That’s why the gulag comes in handy. Our in our case today, “David Gregory mocks you on TV and you don’t care.”
How do you think they came up with all that info to destroy all conservative challengers to Romney ?
The Saudis invested a ton of money getting Soetoro “elected.”
They want to protect their investment.
Naturally they’re going to impose top-down tyranny, just like we see across the middle east.
It would be an unusual screen name to choose... have you read Alas Babylon:?

Two-Tone Henry - Malachai’s lazy brother, and Missouri’s husband, called “Two-Tone” because his face has two shades of color.
I dislike big brother too...
I doubt I’ll have trouble finding it as we have some excellent used book stores around here. Thanks for the offer!
Yes, Null and Void was just telling me about the book. I’ll have to check it out.
