The NSA is a lot closer and thus more dangerous.
Does the NSA take people out into the woods and shoot them? No
Does the NSA monitor the citizens of this country? yes
Does the NSA pass that information on to other government agencies? yes
Is that information used to persecute people based on their political or moral beliefs? yes
Is the NSA effectively creating a ‘file’ on every American citizen? Yes
Will that file be used against those citizens in the future? yes
As I said, the trump card is the fact that the NSA is here, not way over there.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Hoax & chains.
I retired from NSA 16 years ago. I spent most of my career on the tip of the spear, overseas. If all this internal spying was going on while I was working, it went on in an invisible organization. While working overseas, we were continually reminded of our responsibilities under the Fourth Amendment. We were warned that any collection, recording or reporting of communications between US Persons would lead to dismissal or prosecution. My hands and those of my colleagues, FRiend, are spotless. In a career of 33 years, I never heard one word of any such organization.
No doubt they keep everything compartmentalized. You weren’t in the illegal dirty-tricks department, and thus were able to work with a clean conscience. I’m sure they were careful to make sure that anyone with integrity or American values was kept away from the dark side of the agency.

Ping.
Article, then check out graphics at # 3, ... also see # 5, # 24.

And yet the NSA has publicly admitted all this is happening.
Perhaps you trust your friends. Power corrupts and our current govt is going down the path to totalitarianism very quickly.
The NSA is doing this. THEY are passing info to the DEA among other organizations and the information is being used in criminal prosecutions. They are using illegally gathered information to obtain convictions and LYING about the source of the information to the judge and juries.
FUNSA
Nothing new. They have been doing this for a long time...
