Bush-Era NSA Whistleblower Makes Most Explosive Allegations Yet About Extent of Gov’t Surveillance..

The Blaze ^

[quesney]

Russ Tice, a former intelligence analyst and Bush-era NSA whistleblower, claimed Wednesday that the intelligence community has ordered surveillance on a wide range of groups and individuals, including high-ranking military officials, lawmakers and diplomats.

He also made another stunning allegation. He says the NSA had ordered wiretaps on phones connected to then-Senate candidate Barack Obama back in 2004.

“They went after–and I know this because I had my hands literally on the paperwork for these sort of things–they went after high-ranking military officers; they went after members of Congress, both Senate and the House, especially on the intelligence committees and on the armed services committees and some of the–and judicial,” Tice told Peter B. Collins on Boiling Frog Post News.

He went on: “But they went after other ones, too. They went after lawyers and law firms. All kinds of–heaps of lawyers and law firms. They went after judges. One of the judges is now sitting on the Supreme Court that I had his wiretap information in my hand. Two are former FISA court judges. They went after State Department officials. They went after people in the executive service that were part of the White House–their own people.”

it might also explain bolton and cheneys angry response to snowden- calling him a ttraitor for revealign what terrorists ALREADY KNEW- that the US was spyign on them, tappuing phones, listenign in to cell phones, listenign via satellite, viewing via sattelite etc- I said fro mthe beginning I thought bopth their reactiosn were a bit too angry especially hwne very little is known abotu what snowden actually knows- I suspected that perhaps even the republicans were afraid of what snowden might release- and hten I saw fox news all of a sudden make a 180 degree turn to where they mostly were attackign snowdne BEFORE even learnign abotu any facts about hte case- I just felt fox was perhaps ordered to attack snowden and try to deligitimize him discredit him, smear him before any facts were nkown becasue it might reflect badly on the GOP as well as dems

Here is your garble after using spell check. Don't be so lazy, use spell check, because you can't type.

If I had a nickel for every time someone MISUSED the word “neocon” as you have, I’d be rich.

I'm greedy. I want a nickel for every time the word 'ironic' is misused.

Dibs on "should of" or "could of" instead of "should have" or "could have".

“99 % of American Negroes are, in fact, on average 25% white!”

Would that be like a quarter-kracker but 3 quarter-blacker or am I reading too much into this factoid?

[Old Sarge]

Neocons are easy to spot:

Kinda tough, without the Star of David pinned to their clothing...

[LibLieSlayer]

Proof of what I have known in my heart all along. roberts... you should have quit and told America that you were being bribed. You are a traitor and a dishonorable pos.

NeoCon - JOOOOOOSSS!!!

>>An example of a true “neocon” would be Krauthammer.<<

Or Michael Medved.

I call dibs on "loose" and "lose" - it's like hitting the Powerball, and the odds are damn near even!

[WildWeasel]

Yea, I sense an attention whore looking to get publicity. How convenient to come forward now, after Snowden.

[SeminoleCounty]

Correct....except that NeoCons are pro-Communist China...they are the ones pushing Free Trade and shipping American jobs/wealth to them. Real Conservatives do not support Communist China...only NeoCons do

[Alas Babylon!]

Agreed. Sorry, but when I see this guy’s typing I usually just skip over whatever he has to say. Pity, but I’m not his translator.

If decisions were made by the compromised, the Obamacare ruling coming to mind, can the decisions be undone because of the revelation of pressure/blackmail on someone?

But what surprised me is that they got the RINOs to agree with them.

Shouldn't be surprised, RINOs are part of the totalitarian center.

I’ll go you one further....what if they used the NSA to find that perfect candidate that they could mold and shape and do their bidding to destroy this country?

And looking into Obama they saw that ultimate candidate that would not only agree to destroying America and go along with their agenda to bring down the US, but would be the perfect candidate because he was an “unknown” BLACK that they could mold and shape how they wanted (since no one knew him). He could make History becoming the 1st Black President. Maybe they didn’t need incriminating evidence, because he’s always been 100%+ on board with their agenda and they only agreed to hide all of his background. Maybe they used the NSA to find a traitor they could get on board, to take down the US from the inside?

I mean, you know they’ve used the race card most ultimately with this guy for EVERY THING. If you disagree with him, you’re racist. If you voted against him, you’re racist, etc. Many voted for him, solely because he was the 1st Black President and they wanted to make history. Had it been a white guy, it would have affected a lot, and they could never have used the race card, IMO.

I will always believe he was chosen for this by the upper elites...the “shadow govt” if you will. I will NEVER believe he did it on his own merits. I will never believe he came out of the woodwork and rose to his status because he just did. Someone(s) put him there. He was picked and I think he was picked and helped along, because of who he is and what he believes in. And considering the NWO agenda, he’s the PERFECT candidate for what they want. It makes perfect sense to me. HE is THEIR puppet.

A lot of truth, there.

[mmichaels1970]

They went after judges. One of the judges is now sitting on the Supreme Court that I had his wiretap information in my hand.

This is big stuff. Is this the whistleblower Beck claimed was fearing for his life?

On boiling this story down, it certainly seems to fit with the "this can bring down the power structure on both sides" argument we were hearing a week or so ago.

To me, this describes rouge intel departments gathering blackmail info on EVERYBODY who wants a seat of influence. This is insurance that nothing can change. Nothing can be fixed. There is no difference in political party. The country is not under the control of the executive, legislative, or judiciary. It is under the control of intel.

I don't see this as a Bush article, or a "both sides are doing it" article. I see this, if true, as a coups that succeeded a long time ago right under our noses.

Oh, I thought it was one of those tests. If you can read this you are smarter than 75% of the population. :)

[unixfox]

He said MOST of those in government are crooks. I could not agree more.

When I hear these talking bozos sit there and tell me that most of those at the IRS are "good, hard working people" I want to throw up. They are complicit with tyranny at the least. Every single agency in this government is corrupt to the core.

You may find a handful of "good, hard working people" but most are lazy assed, good for nothing leeches.

It might also explain why Obama has made no real attempt to reign in the intelligence agencies, despite his campaign promise to do so.

Remember Obama's Senate campaign? There was lots of trickery to get compromise Ryan. If there was any discussion about bribing a judge to get sealed court records opened, disclosure would cause all kinds of blowback.
