Readers of this page are well aware of the revelations during the past six months of spying by the National Security Agency (NSA). Edward Snowden, a former employee of an NSA vendor, risked his life and liberty to inform us of a governmental conspiracy to violate our right to privacy, a right guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment.
The conspiracy he revealed is vast. It involves former President George W. Bush, President Obama and their aides, a dozen or so members of Congress, federal judges, executives and technicians at American computer servers and telecoms, and the thousands of NSA employees and vendors who have manipulated their fellow conspirators. The conspirators all agreed that it would be a crime for any of them to reveal the conspiracy. Snowden violated that agreement in order to uphold his higher oath to defend the Constitution...
Earlier this week, The Washington Post reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is now spying on us. It seems that the FBI, no doubt jealous of the unpunished lawlessness of the NSA, has acquired software that permits it to utilize the tiny cameras in many home computers to observe whoever or whatever may be in front of the computer screen.
The FBI doesnt only look at whoever is using the computer screen; it also captures the words and images on the screen...
The Washington Post also reported this week that local cops, too, are jealous of the NSA and its ability to break the law with impunity. In an effort to catch bad guys, local police in half a dozen American cities have begun to ask local telecom providers for a tower dump. A tower dump consists of digital recordings of all cell phone usage from a given cell tower...

“our boss is recording phone conversations”
Why would someone want to do this?
Yeh remember when people fled other countries to come here?
Go to John Young's Cryptome site, and just start reading. We have been under the magnifying glass for a long time. OUr feral government is more out of control than just about anyone is willing to admit. It's not a democrat thing. It's not a republican thing. These people are serious about removing any tiny shred of privacy you and I may have. Both parties are neck deep in the muck.
I've been on this site a long time, and I have to wonder how much outrage you'd see here if a republican were president. From past history, I'd have to say "not much", and it's a shame. They are using the illusion of opposing parties to strip us of everything we claim to hold dear.

More outrage now than ever. Faith is the Republican party is pretty low. Lowest I have every seen it here.
I’ve been under surveillance before.
About 90% of what they do is just simple intimidation to let you know they are more powerful than you and you can do nothing to stop them.
Probably true. You'd have a much higher proportion of them calling anyone pointing things out 'tinfoilers' or the like. That kind of crap just doesn't fly with me anymore. It just shows off their ignorance. Attributing this to just democrats is similarly stupid and ignorant.
The FBI used to use a system called CARNIVORE, but public outrage demanded that they stop. They didn’t, just divided it into subsystems, far more powerful than CARNIVORE, such as NarusInsight.
They also use CALEA, the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (1994), which creates back doors in communications and Internet companies, allowing federal agencies to monitor all telephone, broadband internet, and VoIP traffic in real-time.
There is also ADVISE (Analysis, Dissemination, Visualization, Insight, and Semantic Enhancement), a massive data mining system run by the DHS.
Then there is the NSA’s PRISM, a government codename for a data collection effort known officially as US-984XN.
There are also what are called 72 (known) Homeland Security “Fusion Centers” in the US. They are used for information sharing at the federal level between agencies.
So “Mi data es Su data”.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
all I know is that a friends son got a job with this bunch after college and after working a year or two, could afford a 5 bedroom house in the Seattle area.
Have you cyber hugged your NSA watcher today?
Yes, the SIS (Secret Intelligence Service) formerly the MI6 has a way of making people disappear. So does the US CIA for that matter.

I’ll give em Peter Falk’s glass one
Our government is filled with corrupt people.
If there’s nothing in their files, they’ll put something in their files.
unplug and tune out time?
He is a paranoid little weirdo. I seriously think he's got mental health problems. Recording phone calls is the tip of the iceburg of his odd behavior.
One of my co-workers grew up in a communist country. He’s got some interesting insight on the situation.
