It was revealed today that the National Security Agency is currently collecting the telephone records of millions of US customers of Verizon. This top secret order was issued in April.

The order, a copy of which has been obtained by the Guardian, requires Verizon on an "ongoing, daily basis" to give the NSA information on all telephone calls in its systems, both within the US and between the US and other countries.

Verizon is the provider for much of the government.

They have broken EVERY Law, every Commandment.

Lucky for them, the US Congress is full of docile
weak perverts easily bought off by anyone.

Probably a good idea to sign off all calls with “O eats sh!t with a dirty fork”, if you are a Verizon customer.

WTF for?

99.9% of these phone calls are my wife and her friends, and she is no threat.

All joking aside, this is BS. What do they need with all of those phone calls, they will have to hire a thousand new people just to scan through them .

Ever wonder how a reporter feels about his phone calls going to Holder? Well now it’s yours. And it’s BS.

And? I’ve met a few NSA people in my travels, and the last thing you need to worry about is NSA wimps. They don’t speak, they don’t know what planet they’re on and they sure as hell aren’t warriors.

I wonder if this could be grounds to break off a contract with Verizon?

I keep reading of all the deadful things this administration is doing and this news means nothing at all, even if everybody knows it, unless we have a strong and determined Republican party. With guts.

I know, it’s a contradiction in terms.

I am starting to become indifferent to it all.

Twitter is already lit up pretty good by this story.

Maybe if all Verizon users talk about how much we want to repeal ObamaCare the President will listen. #nsa

The #NSA tracked phone records from AT&T too, but it was just a list of dropped calls.

Remember that time you tried phone sex? The #NSA does..

Hi @VerizonSupport So I think I fixed the heavy breathing sound..I just wrapped my entire cell phone in tin foil. Thanks though #NSA

Hey NSA, FYI, if I call Yemen at 2:30AM on Saturday morning I’m not a terrorist, I’m drunk.”

WHO here believes this started in APRIL...?

Even if you think it started as recently as FIVE YEARS AGO, you are out of your freaking mind.

LONG, LONG STORY.

This super secret squirrel was released to make you wildly optimistic that they COULD have long ago done this, but didn’t:

A RIDICULOUS NOTION.

Make as many short calls per day as you can afford. Overload that database. Make the Stasi listen to endless drivel.

They don't rely on people anymore. Supercomputers can handle the volume just fine.

ROFL!

I can vouch for that — I am an AT&T customer. Or should I say it’s AT&T that services me...
