Breaking: NSA Eavesdropped on People Whom They Had Personal Grudges (Audio)
Gateway Pundit ^ | June 7, 2013 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 06/07/2013 10:48:51 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Renee Montagne from NPR spoke with liberal columnist and author Glenn Greenwald, the reporter who co-wrote the stories for the British newspaper The Guardian, today on the massive data-mining scandal.

Greenwald dropped this bomb during the interview.

“There are reported examples of the NSA, analysts at the NSA, using mechanisms they have access to. ABC reported several years ago through whistle blowers that they have used it to eavesdrop on people on whom they have personal grudges. There are isolated examples of the Patriot Act being abused. The problem is that the entire system operates behind a wall of extreme secrecy.”

Here’s Greenwald on NPR this morning:

(AUDIO-AT-LINK)

But surely the Obama administration would not eavesdrop on political opponents.

Right?

“It’s no wonder the Boston bombers got through.”

Makes perfect sense to me - terrorism wasn’t the priority in the last 24 to 36 months - the election was.

PRISM probably did catch it, and we’re going to eventually find out we were warned (Soviets told us, we know that) multiple times.

But, the priority for this administration was the eradication of POLITICAL ENEMIES. A purge.

This is why some D Senator, I think Schumer, referred to McCain and Graham as ‘our Republicans’. They are owned.

True. But like a banana republic, the Obama Administration acts like it can do anything to harass political opponents in a way "above the law."

Yes, it is a real quote. I don't have the name of the book right off-hand.

Some people have claimed that it is fabricated, however all you have to do is pay attention to the actions of the people and it becomes self-evident.

This IS the clinton whitehouse. If anyone thinks obaby has even 25% of the brainpower necessary to pull ANY of this off, think again. obaby goes where he’s told, does what he’s told, says what he’s told, and cannot act without a directive.

It’s an old, old human failing. How many incidents do we have in the Bible of people eavesdropping? Of looking over the garden wall to see a fine woman bathing? Etc.

There is nothing new under the sun.

This is a huge DISTRACTION from the real criminal activites of F&F, Benghazi, and spilling private IRS data in order to capture the Presidential election. ASK YOURSELF - WHY DID THE STORY APPEAR IN AN OVERSEAS NEWS MEDIA OUTLET JUST THIS WEEK? NSA has been collecting phone call meta data for a long long time. Bush did it.

I am all in favor of being armed. But I don't think they're coming in jackboots to my house. They can destroy me with drones. They can destroy me electronically, stealing my assets and even making me disappear. Does this mean I am giving up? Of course not, but there are weapons at their disposal that were not dreamed of 50 years ago. Yeah I can completely go off grid but that's just not realistic for most ordinary working folk with a mortgage to pay.

Sadly, at one point in my life I was young and dumb and liberal. Then the scales fell from my eyes. Sometimes I almost envy the sheep who cannot see what the hell is going on.

Enough self-pity for one day! It's what the bastards want. Gonna put my big girl panties back on. Thanks for the post.

I agree. And so does this wise man: “In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956

I just wonder how much of their snooping led to IRS audits.

Or how much of their snooping led to George Soros making a few extra billions.

Nah. They're just idiots.

We don’t know why this was leaked. Was it beause of what he has done in the past or will do in the future? That is what I meant, I was specifically thinking of Israel, given his animus to the State and her People, and to the assumption an Israeli firm may have been the guilty party in the spying.

Recall if you will that two Floridia Democrate vacationing in DC used Radio Shack equipment to monitor the phone calls of Newt Gingrich.

I suggest the monitoring was from rogue partisans inside the NSA and the Florida folks were scape goats.

I mean the NSA supposedly used an Israeli firm to spy on Americans, so there can be plausible deniability for all concerned, the Regime & the ISPs etc.

I believe that Obama has found some way to funnel data from the NSA into his legendary database he used in his campaign.

My problem and worry isn't that the NSA is collecting the info, its Joe that info id bring used.

On the other hand, has the gov just become so omnipotent and all powerful that anyone who takes the reigns are destined to be corrupted?
