Is Obama Lying About Big Brother?
Zero Hedge ^ | 06/07/2013 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 06/08/2013 1:53:09 PM PDT by vietvet67

As of this moment, Obama is making the case that the US government is not eavesdropping on phone calls. Specifically, he said "nobody is listening to your phone calls - they are just looking at phone numbers and duration of calls" and concluded that the NSA was only engaged in "modest encroachments." It was unclear if that clarification was meant to put to rest fears that Big Brother has made personal privacy a thing of the past. He further went on to add that the telephone surveillance program is fully vetted by Congress and supervised by the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA). In other words: Obama is making the case that the NSA's Big Brother supervision is perfectly legal and not only that, there are checks and balances and neither the telephonic snooping nor the internet supervision is anything to be concerned about. There is one problem: Obama is lying.

In 2010 the Obama administration gave U.K. access to the PRISM system. This way they can honestly say they are not spying on American when they have the British do it and visa versa.

With Big Data tools like Palantir, the NSA doesn’t need to go into packets of call data — they correlate the call metadata with credit card purchases, GPS tracking, web forum activity like this one, etc., to find a Person of Interest, then dive in. So much easier.

After the “is 0bama lying?” the rest of the words are superfluous.

And the answer is: Yes.

Is Obama Lying About Big Brother?

Any question that begins "Is Obama Lying...?" only has one answer.

Of course he is! Duh!

He IS Big Brother!

That's the biggest question I have. Who really is "Big Brother"? Is it axel,val/jar,others in the wings,soros? Hard to tell.

One thing I know is that it really can't be zero. He's just not equipped. He's too stupid.

He's a front man/Manchurian. Always has been. And, as we saw the other day take away his script/teleprompter and he just stands there and yells like the five year old he really is.

Big Brother?--Hardly.

“Modest” just as Madonna is modest. Encroachments just like the gulags were encroachments.

Great link well done.

I see the game with the regime as destroying the country its economy, freedom of its people in every area possible though law such as obamcare, surveillance techs, more restrictive laws, enviro restrictions, all being done simultaneously.

They will jump from one issue to the next and if they lose in Congress or court they simply produce an EO have val/jar sing it with zeros auto pen and move on to the next.

Right now we don't hear much about amnesty that is slowly moving through both houses.Currently the Senate. But its huge.

When you don't see anything like that in the press or hear anything about it time to be on high alert.

Exactly! But how many of the general population have figured that out.Much less take it for granted as we do.?

There is so much here on FR that we routinely take for granted that the average LIV does not have a clue!! We have done a less than stellar job of getting out the basics of this regime.

We have to do better.Its all at stake now.

He's the perfect front man for Satan.

When God created the heavens and the earth, He saw that it was good.

When Satan wadded together Zero he exclaimed, "Good enough for government work."
