Obama and Oboehner don’t care, so why are we debating his.
It was wrong and is wrong to be collecting all this data.
“My question is does the NSA have a back door to Google and Facebook databases or don’t they. According to Google, they don’t.”
The problem here is that even if the NSA had total access to Google it would be illegal for anyone at Google to tell us about it.
Yet more lies exposed. First it was just 50 or so, then 2,500, and now its over 55,000. Nobody can believe anything these liars say.
Moreover, it's just an educated guess!!!!
Impeachment File on Communist, Benghazi Coward “B. Hussein Obama,” formerly known as Barry Soetoro, currently a Legal Citizen of the Sovereign Nation of Indonesia.
I’m forgiving of the NSA and am willing to send a measured response to the good folks there. We send in the 101st Airborne to round up and jail half the NSA Stasi, and wait to see if the other half gets the message. If not, call out the 1st Marine Division to clean out the rest.
These a-holes are not patriots; they’re traitors attacking our liberties.
As in 'All your T.I.T.S. Are belong to US. er us.'
Actually the Total Information Awareness idea is merely another of mans feeble attempt(s) to 'become as G-D, knowing good and evil.' After all, the internet is the modern equivalent of The Tree of Knowledge.
There is a data collection system in place and it's called The Jeweled Net of Indra and the records are stored at the Akashic Library. Google those!
I'm guessing the Almighty's view of this is much like the 2001 space odyssey monolith monkeys. Or an
... Alpha-Bet org company picnic, bunch of wankers following Britney Spears around with drones waiting for her to get out of her car...
I wonder what Obama’s NSA has on Boehner and McConnel...
What gets me is how Satan can find so many recruits to willfully do his bidding, all the way into the Lake of Fire for eternity at Judgement time. And there is no escaping God’s final judgement.
Since the FBI “source” that provided the Petraeus affair emails was never spelled out, it would be interesting to find out if they were some of those thousands of emails scooped up “accidentally” when a “202” area code was mistaken for a “20” national code.
Given the revelation that the DEA was tipped off by the NSA on some criminal matter and told to lie about the real source of their information, it is not an unreasonable question to ask if the FBI was told to lie about the real source of their information about Petraeus.
I don’t think it is reasonable that someone accidentally mistook the Washington DC area code of 202 for some “20” country code.
Well... That’s an excruciatingly small number. I’ve got a few times that in my own email archives.
I can think of a way this might be happening. I do believe them when they say they are focused on messaging going in and out internationally. That’s the stuff that’s most interesting and most likely to be useful. Domestic message traffic is simply so... So enormous... It’s trying to sip from a fire hose, and a scary gynormous amount of work for a tediously small payoff in useful intel. If it were me I wouldn’t bother, and I’d bet they’ve been through that same calculation themselves.
But now and then even if you’re capturing international traffic you’ll grab some traffic between U.S. citizens who are working on foreign messaging services. Quite a lot of it maybe... So they work their algorithm to ignore situations like that as far as they can imagine them... But always end up with some comms from people that don’t fit in the nice algorithmic boxes. If it is really only 56k items, my compliments to the system designer for a filter screen that really does seem to work.
This must STOP without probable cause. These bastards are so ineffectual that they didn’t have a clue on the Terrorist at Fort HOOD or the Boston bombing !! What a gross blatant violation of the 4th Amendment . The Supreme court WILL kill this snake. In the mean time, find our Congressmen who voted for this gestapo crap and give them a ride back to a non existent JOB!!
Suck up Karl Rove was singing the NSA’s praises because they found it themselves and REPORTED it themselves. Why are people like him so afraid of the NSA? His oppinion is worth absolutely nothing yet he feels he has to constantly defend them.
Here’s the thing....we are paying for them to collect information...where 99.9999999-percent of what they collect is of no value. Billions spent, and maybe in one average day of collection, there might be six emails from seventeen billion that they might say are valuable.
It’s kinda like having forty-four umpires on the field of a baseball game between two teams. Other than the homeplate umpire....there’s rarely more than three rulings per inning. But you’d still pay full-price for the four-four umpires to stand there and pretend they are important.
And there’s one more thing. Every single senator, their staff members, and the campaign managers...are being monitored as well. You would think they’d be shaking in their boots...unless of course, they wrote some law that exempts them. Makes you wonder.
...are being monitored as well.
Perhaps Justice Roberts was the first to find that out.

Obama administration had restrictions on NSA reversed in 2011

The Obama administration secretly won permission from a surveillance court in 2011 to reverse restrictions on the National Security Agency’s use of intercepted phone calls and e-mails, permitting the agency to search deliberately for Americans’ communications in its massive databases, according to interviews with government officials and recently declassified material.
In addition, the court extended the length of time that the NSA is allowed to retain intercepted U.S. communications from five years to six years — and more under special circumstances, according to the documents, which include a recently released 2011 opinion by U.S. District Judge John D. Bates, then chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
