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.

Long Title:

"BUSH-ERA NSA WHISTLEBLOWER MAKES MOST EXPLOSIVE ALLEGATIONS YET ABOUT EXTENT OF GOV’T SURVEILLANCE — AND YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHO HE SAYS THEY SPIED ON"

Who the person he probably voted for?

[FreedomStar3028]

We now know for 100% fact, that what lots on FR and elsewhere have speculated on. That the wholesale destruction of America has been orchestrated by whoever is controlling the NSA and their interests.

All of our officials have been blackmailed into selling us out.

[cripplecreek]

Personally I suspect the NSA has been operating independently for a long time.

And who does this surprise?

Can we call it a "Police State" NOW?
Yes it's a sarcastic and rhetorical question.

[“Here’s the big one,” he said. “. . .I held in my hand was to wiretap a bunch of numbers associated with a 40-something-year-old wannabe senator for Illinois. You wouldn’t happen to know where that guy lives right now would you? It’s a big white house in Washington, D.C. That’s who they went after, and that’s the president of the United States now.”]

One document would be worth a lot more than this melodramatic hype.

As Porky Pig says, “Th-th-th-that’s all folks!”

“Here’s the big one,” he said. “[T]his was in summer of 2004, one of the papers that I held in my hand was to wiretap a bunch of numbers associated with a 40-something-year-old wannabe senator for Illinois.

Let me guess - his dog ate those papers.

Why would he specifically remember the name of somebody, who by his own account, was a total nobody at the time?

Anyway, if he can substantiate any of this, I support locking up anybody who authorized it at any level. I suspect this is just some cotton candy to throw to the leftist loons currently stuck without a "Bush's fault" response to this particular act of lawbreaking by the Obama Administration.

Bush’s fault?

[Iron Munro]

I a government bureaucracy has the capability and resources to do something, there is no question that sooner or later they will do it - regardless of the Constitution, laws, rules or regulations.

All of our officials have been blackmailed into selling us out.

It would explain the Roberts one-eighty on Obamacare.

[Steve_Seattle]

The guy sounds like a liar; this is damage control, trying to push current scandals back to Bush. Of course!!! - the “most explosive” allegation goes back to Bush.

[Steve_Seattle]

My BS detector is flashing with this guy, who is probably an Obama-bot.

[RedHeeler]

Hardly blackmailed. These punks sold out to be bought out, a long time before possession of any seats they hold. Good grief, the children are amazed Santa ain’t real. Truly ain’t real. Oh no, oh no, oh no

[cripplecreek]

Bush’s fault?

I don't think that's what the guy is saying. I think we have an agency that is now operating largely outside government toward goals of the "global community".

[FreedomStar3028]

Some of them sure. But it does explain a LOT of flip flopping politicians lately, doesn’t it?

[MaxMax]

Bush led America to the steps, and Obama is the hangman.
So of course it's all Bush's fault. Bush is making the Dems do it.

[Steve_Seattle]

"I don't think that's what the guy is saying. I think we have an agency that is now operating largely outside government toward goals of the "global community"."

I disagree. No president has been more in tune with the "global community" than Obama. If the NSA were trying to facilitate a global community, Obama would be their guy, not a target.

[cripplecreek]

I’m sure Obama is very useful to them but that doesn’t mean he has control of them. He isn’t that smart or powerful. He’s just greedy and narcissistic which makes him easy to control.
