As such, this is a non-story wacko-conspiracy theory being pushed. BECAUSE the DNC isn't being 'targeted'. Hell we all are being 'watched' by the Brits MI-6 (or is it MI-5), the Aussies and I think canada too - all in conjunction with the NSA. And BTW it started under Willard's reign.
In short, Project Echelon monitors every single email, and as I recall cell phone call in the WORLD. Our NSA monitors for our allies and they monitor us. Only certain key words are looked for and if they 'get a hit', our allies inform our FBI of a 'possible threat'.
Back in the early or mid 1990's a woman in Michigan sent an email to a freind about her daughters school play. In the email she used the word 'Hillary' (her daughters name) and BOMB - as in the play was a bomb. A couple days later the FBI showed up at her door, took her into custody for questioning and kept her for a couple days as I recall.
The key word list contains about 500 words as I remember. The list was once available online. For the hell of it I would sometimes copy every key word and send that to a friend. In my closing paragraph, I'd say hello to the NSA & the FBI and ask if they always wear dark sun glasses, even if it's raining. I wasn't concerned because I've been through so many security clearance and FBI background checks my file is about two inches thick anyway.
Do a Google search and get ready for some reading, it's very enlightening and makes the Patriot Act look like your local traffic laws.
