The White House will halt surveillance of U.S. allies, according to the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, reflecting a major shift in policy.

The move comes in the wake of revelations that the U.S. has been spying on world leaders such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and appears to include any surveillance of allied foreign leaders.

Our allies rarely know or an detect that we are spying on them. They would be suckers to believe Zero.

“White House Will Stop Spying on Allies, Feinstein Says”

You betcha! the White house will no longer spy on allies, however the CIA, NSA, FBI, etc. will continue to spy on everyone.

“Stop spying on allies. Does that include us?”

No, Conservatives, most Republicans, FReepers would never be considered allies by this administration.

Obama: I was kept ignorant as the day I was born. Everything I didn’t know will be kept unknown and now I can get back to unknowing.

You would think Feinswine would be MOST concerned about the NSA spying on American citizens, but.. NOPE!

Snowden is a agent of this regime. His mission is to first enlist the support of the American people (by talking about domestic spying), THEN to get the U.N. to seize control of our NSA by talking about our intelligence gathering capabilities overseas. First you get Americans to agree with you, then you get them to agree to things they really shouldn't agree with, like stopping spying overseas. Watch. This is all a plot to undermine America's superpower status by putting a stop to all overseas spying.. A de facto disabling of the NSA by the NWO crowd who hates America.

The White House didn't know they were spying on anyone, other than on innocent American citizens, that is.

You WERE joking about that, right? Right?

Scary thought. So most of the middle East isn't spied on, but we (not the gov't) citizens are (will continue to be).

Yes, I cannot believe any foreign country is stupid enough to believe either Feinstein or Obama.
