Secret court approves three more months of NSA phone snooping

The secret court that oversees the nation’s intelligence activities renewed its approval of the National Security Agency’s telephone-records program on Friday, granting the government a new three-month window to collect data on all Americans’ phone calls.

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper’s office announced the court’s ruling in a statement, though officials didn’t make the ruling itself public, saying it was going through declassification procedures.

The decision marks the 36th time the program has been approved by the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

“It is the administration’s view, consistent with the recent holdings of the United States District Courts for the Southern District of New York and Southern District of California, as well as the findings of 15 judges of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on 36 separate occasions over the past seven years, that the telephony metadata collection program is lawful,” Shawn Turner, spokesman for Mr. Clapper, said.

Can the secret court order someone executed?

Anyone can!

(Just make sure to talk to a REAL hit man.)

The conservative right is the new counterculture.

America's descent into normlessness.

Thankfully, I have an unlisted phone number.

I don't care what anyone else says; that is darned funny!

You would squander liberty that 400,000+ men died for in World War II *alone*.

Since this nation of Conservative Patriots has ALLOWED the killing of more than 55,000,000 pre-Americans - what's a little spying among friends?

> ALLOWED the killing of more than 55,000,000 pre-Americans

A gross exaggeration of the aboriginal population (off by a factor of 10). I suggest discarding those Common Core texts you’re using as reference materials. Hint: the chapter on ancient Zimbabwean astronauts going to the moon is bogus too.

Yes, I did. By “pre-Americans” I thought you meant aborigines, not the unborn.

I definitely agree with your point.

So many folks want to fix a SPIRITUAL problem with politics.

It ain'y gonna happen!


 

 

 

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,

then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.

I have a friend that calls me every Sunday at 8:00 am.

About a year ago I noticed the phone (on my end) would start ear piercing screeching every time Obama's name was mentioned...I even tested it by mentioning his name.

We talk about a lot of things and a few weeks ago we were talking about aircraft. I mentioned that while driving down the freeway I noticed a huge plane off in the distance making an approach, which happens to be right over the freeway and that I pulled over to watch it come over the top of me. When I told him it was a C5 the phone went screwy...I think C5 is also an explosive isn't it?

Today he mentioned Obama was coming home from Hawaii...once again there was static on the phone at the mention of his name

The screeching has ended but there is definitely static now.

This all started before what they are doing was known to the public. When I told friends and family about it they said I was nuts...not now they don't.

OH, one more thing. I posted on a thread awhile back that I wouldn't let anything or anyone related to GOOGLE anywhere near my computer...the next day when I opened my not google mail I had 5 spam e-mails about my (non-existent/never existed) google account.
