You know the irony of this entire NSA spying drama? Edward Snowden is taking refuge in Hong Kong! Now that is really funny. America “the land of the free” isn’t where a person who chooses freedom and fairness and justice rushes to to be protected anymore. No! Where else, a Communist country. Thank you so much Mao Tse-tung! That is rich. Don’t you think?

 

Which gave Tubularsock another good idea! Manning’s lawyer David Coombs should petition the court to move the trial to a new venue, Hong Kong. The argument for doing this is because the military community he is now being tried in lacks the ability to provide a fair trial. (Just a thought.) But alas, Judge Lind would then have to dismount her kangaroo.

 

And then on top of that the Senate Intelligence Committee, an oxymoron if there ever was one, is defending the NSA program because they have been “briefed” on it’s activities and no illegal activity is taking place. Of course, Diane Feinstein has never known much about what Congressional oversight really meant. Remember she also did not know how the military counted the bodies at a drone strike. She “over-sighted” that as well.

 

And the defenders of this police-state activity of collecting one hundred zillion pieces of information a second on everyone and their grandmother says the spying has stopped two (that is two) terrorist plots. Yet later it was discovered that regular police work had really been used to stop these two plots.

 

But even if the plots had been stopped by the NSA ……. a zillion to two?

Hmmm, there may be a better way.

 

But here’s the the bottom line …….. in Timbuktu (of course) al Qaeda is training their terrorists in the operation of surface-to-air missiles. This was discovered not by NSA and its zillion-giga-bites but by a written outline left behind in a stack of garbage. The terrorists already know what Diane Feinstein and the Senate Intelligence Committee still haven’t figured out ……… using a cell phone may be lethal.

 

But I just can’t stop until I move this bit of helpful information on to you.

 

The entire enchilada of “legal” and “illegal” domestic spying rests on the fact that the government has adopted a secret interpretation of section 215 of the Patriot Act.

 

And it goes like this: The government isn’t collecting the information on its citizens. Private companies are collecting the information and then turning it over to the government. Some how that slips around the letter of the law!

 

There are two known foreign companies that have taken over the role of “processing” data  (aka: vacuuming up information on Americans).

 

The Israeli companies by the names of  Narus which processes all of the information tapped from AT &T  and gives it to NSA and Verint  which processes information tapped from Verizon and gives it to the NSA. (“gives it to NSA” for a huge $$$$ amount, rest assured)

 

BOTH OF THESE ISRAELI COMPANIES HAVE EXTENSIVE LINKS TO THE ISRAELI INTELLIGENCE SERVICE.

 

And it is so much more involved than this. If you get a chance you may want to read

James Bamford’s book The Shadow Factory.  Just say’en.

 

And just to sink the nail into your hand so as to have the pain of understanding of what is going on and how it may even affect YOUR life, try this:

 

“I, sitting at my desk, certainly had the authorities to wiretap anyone, from you or your accountant to a federal judge or even a president,” Snowden said. “Even if you’re not doing anything wrong, you’re being watched and recorded. You simply have to eventually fall under suspicion from somebody, even by a wrong call, and then they can use the system to go back in time and scrutinize every decision you’ve ever made, every friend you’ve ever discussed something with.” *** From an interview with Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras, published on The Guardian web site.

 

 

Oh, have a nice day …………
