Does it scare anyone else that foreign governments are now releasing intelligence on us and our structures in foreign lands? I am completely against what the government is doing, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the governments of the world might do the work we want to do ourselves. Will we one day be welcoming Russian tanks in our town squares or British armored vehicles in our cities as our liberators? Ironic, no?

Here in the USA, cameras are set up along the interstate highways, usually near large signs giving important information, changes in speed, exits, etc, so they usually go unseen. When the SHTF, local patriots might want to disable them at the first opportunity. Nice solar panels supplying the electricity... ummmm.

Well,

1. Why are you against the NSA doing signal intelligence on foreign leaders. That is there job. I would be shocked and dismayed if they did not.

2. Is there anyone in the world surprised that US, Russian, Chinese, UK, French etc embassies are places where their spies set up machinery to listen in on others? I would be shocked it this were not the case.

3. Is there any evidence at all that this has anything to do with Google and whatever they are building?

It is one thing to be upset that the NSA spies on American citizens. It is another to be upset that they spy on Merkel’s cell phone. You should be upset if they don’t.

They are doing us a favor. They are showing Obama that he is not reapected and ceased to be a player.

Internationally, Obama was

Let's pray it doesn't come to that...

At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?-- Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!--All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

The British have armored vehicles?

I thought they downsized their military to insignifcance.
