The National Security Agency and FBI have been engaging in a highly classified program that mines data from leading U.S. internet companies, according to a bombshell report in The Washington Post Thursday night.
The program is code-named PRISMand the Post reports that it was established in 2007. According to the report, the nine companies that "participate knowingly" in the program are Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, Apple.
The program has not been disclosed publicly, and is only being disclosed now after whistleblower revealed the program to the Post because of "horror" at its capabilities.
"They quite literally can watch your ideas form as you type," said the whistleblower, described as a career intelligence officer, in a truly harrowing quote.

“...career intelligence officer...”
Yeah, CIA didn’t like the underside of your bus on Benghazi Obama.
“Wonder what they have on Roberts.”
That’s exactly what I thought.
Explains a lot. Except I still think he’s a scuzzball. If our brave men and women can face horror and fear in the face to protect this country, so could he.
Whatever he’s done is probably highly illegal. Likely complete with pics somewhere.
This statement is making more sense.

House Armed Services Committee lawmakers said late Wednesday that they had not seen the Guardian report, and so did not want to comment on it — but a GOP committee aide said the leak of the document is problematic.
“If the story proves accurate, we would have very serious concerns about the magnitude of the leak involved,” the aide said.
Maybe this is why Boehner is always crying?
LOL.
It’s time to go Galt
Why not have a day of online boycott. Like the great smoke out. Only with no online activity.
Or, do Alinsky on one of the companies involved. Single it out, freeze it, personalize it, etc. And boycott it.
I’m not sure if anything makes sense anymore although the Post Office may see an increase in letters. .
Mark my word. Verizon is just the tip of the iceberg
Complete disregard of the rule of law starting with the qualifications to be president
My first thought was that’s how they discovered Petraeus affair!
Doubleplus ungood!
At this point, the government has been revealed to be involved in about every form of despicable and corrupt activity against the people one can imagine. I mean really, what's left?
What’s left is the murder of political opponents.
Coming in three... two...
Rest assured that EVERY single telephone carrier, internet provider, social network, credit card transaction, bank transaction, travel habits, driving habits, eating habits, drinking habits, pissing habits, sh!tting habits, you name it are being recorded as we type.
We are living under a MARXIST/COMMUNIST regime and most don’t even realize it. Sheeple if you will.
Revolt?
Sadly, you might be right. That is certainly the trajectory followed by the old Roman Republic as it slid into an imperial dictatorship.
Could I be early in line to say “We told you so”? Never trust lib commies. Never.
Shortage of food, energy, water!
