Report: NSA compiling baby photos, medical records and resumes of citizens
FOX 31 ^ | 7/6/2014 | FOX 31

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.

How anyone can think Snowden is a traitor is beyond me.

It’s also being reported today that the FBI is advising local cops NOT to disclose that they’re tapping cell phones.

And all they have to do is publicly prosecute a few hundred “American terrorists” who were caught by the NSA and half the country will say “That’s great! I’m happy they caught them. I’m not worried because I haven’t done anything wrong.” And guess what. That’s exactly what the “American terrorists” believed.

I agree with your name.

Sorry, Mr. Franklin. We couldn’t keep it.

Some very beautiful photos on your page. Couldn't quite go with the meat one, but wonder, where was that waterfall?

This hummingbird loves waterfalls. Think of the ions!

The thing that makes me the most sad is all the people who can’t see what’s happening. Mr. Franklin is rolling over about now.

Talk about blackmail material.
“Give us this information we’ve requested, or the NSA will post those embarrassing naked baby photos on your Facebook feed as you!”

I'm sure they're building an extensive dossier on this one too:

Obama gave a speech where he said that it was ridiculous to think that the NSA is spying on everyone’s conversation. And he is right. They scoop it all up and then have the ability to go back into the ones of the people they target.

That’s not a happy alien.

Even the aliens hate Obama.

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

Oh, they're pretty savvy. They are the ones pushing to raise min wage. Ever see a Mexican protest parade? Those are not easily manipulated flag wavers. They aren't settling for token handouts but putting little Jose Jr.'s name down 357 times on all the handout paperwork so he can be claimed on all the relatives' handouts.

Look at the big picture. It’s government who is pushing this....These labor people are being backed by the government Communist/Socialist in this country, it’s part of the break down...Government demands private employers pay what they want, not market price for labor is. Government controls the wages/prices.

That is what you’re talking about. Government wins/Communist labor unions win. Government is playing them like a fiddle. Government wants total control of everything, give them a few bucks more, and they’re all on board the leftist agenda. Union boses win, the stoop labor rank and file win and government leftist get them and their votes in their pockets.

The Socialist and leftist government want total control of labor, by ginning these people up to go after private employers.

If not already, in the end you’ll have maids unions, Nanny unions, landscapers unions, leaf blower unions, burger flippers unions and on and on.

And they’ll all vote socialist thinking their benefiting themselves, and will be in the very short term.

Pervs collecting all those bare bottomed baby pics on bear skin rugs. Probably to have in the event they want to turn conservative parents over to CPS.
