NEW YORK — Heaps of baby photos, fitness selfies, medical records and resumes are among thousands of private communications scooped up and stored by NSA spy programs.
That’s according to new disclosures based on documents Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor, gave to The Washington Post — disclosures that show just how easy it is for Americans’ private conversations to be swept into the spy agency’s traps.
Snowden provided the Post with what it said were 160,000 intercepted conversations, including e-mails, instant messages, photographs, social network posts and other documents. The trove included messages exchanged from 2009 through 2012, and some were hundreds of pages long.

Maybe our country is the great satan.

I just cannot even begin to comprehend all this.
What, what in heaven’s name do they need all this for on a free people?
I talked it over with my family emphasizing I might be exposing them as well.
We all agreed and THAT was part of the decision process.
We’re not free.
NSA has dick all to do with external threats and *real* terrorism. Wonder how many real terrorists have crossed into the US via the southern border in the last few weeks? Welcomed with opened arms by our rulers.
That is clearly much lower on the priority list than Stasi like tracking of AMERICAN CITIZENS.
For anyone that doubts the real intention of the feds here, those questions will be erased in the not too distant future.
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING
I’m safe with the baby photos I don’t think they can go back that far.
to get rid of the "free" part
There is nothing benign and everything malicious in their intent here.
Yet another big reason to stay off of these social networking sites.
The NSA is gathering together the largest amount of evidence in the history of mankind, to be used against citizens who will be charged with crimes not yet defined.
How’s that for paranoid? (But I believe it to be true.)
Ha! That little guy’s got a long middle finger.
The same reason why your government is bringing in millions of illegals...Low wage ignorance, who are happy with token handouts, never question the ruling class, easily controlled, easily manipulated, easily led.....Total complete control. The path to global world government and control.
This is not that complex.
Government no longer needs a middle class America. They have become a threat, heavy luggage, use too many resources and asked way too many questions.
I'd guess 30 percent of middle class America has already been replaced...The rest are dying off etc...
Oh, but it’s all ‘legal’ and we don’t have anything to worry about. A recent report from, uh — Obama’s own hand-picked super-secret investigating agency — says so!
So, relax. All is well...
Now there’s a baby that will succeed. :-)
.
The one like the rest of 45+ Americans have.
Sometimes I think we’re no longer on the winning side.
