New study shows NSA phone metadata can reveal EVERYTHING about your life

New research published by Stanford Univeristy Wednesday reveal phone and Internet metadata collected by the NSA can expose far more information about an individual than the agency admits, including, “medical conditions, financial and legal connections, and even whether they own a gun.”

Two of the school’s computer science graduate students were able to uncover the sensitive personal details of individuals from phone data details, like the numbers of callers and recipients, the location of callers, phone serial numbers and the length of conversations — all of which are data the signals intelligence agency collects in bulk both domestically and internationally.

Let’s get off the topic of meatloaf and onto the topic of chili.

To the NSA reading this, you are a travesty upon freedom, and no... you’re not getting any chili.

At one time I thought about getting a cell phone. Then I read that you can be tracked anytime you’re carrying the phone.

That’s when I decided I didn’t need the phone.

That’s a reason why they don’t speak out on the issues. (They forget that Jesus promises He’ll fight their battles for them.)

Saturday night and you’re still hangin’ around
Tired of living in your one horse town
you’d like to find a little hole in the ground,
for awhile..

So you go to the village in your tie dyed jeans
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It’s like some pornographic magazine
And you smile

Candle Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Candle Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push, and you’ll be smilin’

Computer science people are generally a liberal-leaning bunch

How could that possibly be? It's a field where you produce something that either works or doesn't, objectively judge-able, and whether or not it works is based on real facts and rules and logic, not feelings. How could any liberal possibly compete in such a field.

Not only do I not need your meta data to tell you how many you are holding up, I can even tell which one it is!

I see you've hacked into my feed from his supposedly "off" webcam!

Imagine the metadate God has on each of us: words, actions,thoughts, motives....

To paraphrase Lloyn Bentsen "I know God and the NSA is no God!"

First comes surveillance, then after determining you are opposed to the regime, you will be framed.
Show me the man, and I’ll find you the crime, Beria, Stalin’s NKVD chief.
