"The Washington Post has published a remarkable report showing that the National Security Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have been monitoring the central servers of major Internet companies — Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube and Apple — and “extracting audio, video, photographs, e-mails, documents and connection logs that enable analysts to track a person’s movements and contacts over time.”
Why did a government source leak information of this program, dubbed “PRISM,” to the Post? What follows is perhaps the most chilling paragraph I’ve read to date about U.S. government surveillance:
“Firsthand experience with these systems, and horror at their capabilities, is what drove a career intelligence officer to provide PowerPoint slides about PRISM and supporting materials to The Washington Post in order to expose what he believes to be a gross intrusion on privacy. “They quite literally can watch your ideas form as you type,” the officer said.”
It's back to pen and paper for those that don't want the Obama minions to shuffle through all your electronic communications.
More on this outrage.
One word summary of this whole debacle: Kaboom!
Phew! I'm going to make some Sangria. Now that I've said that here, maybe some government types can drop by and help me drink it.

This is one really well crafted piece of propaganda. It is another in a long string of efforts to provoke the "white terrorist" to violent action,and deflect from yet another scandal and cover up, and of coarse the "conservative right" will swallow it whole.
ReplyDeleteWhat?
DeleteAre you saying I'm a "White Terrorist"? Which other scandal is this supposed to be deflecting attention from?
And it's always a good idea to proof read your comment before posting, of course! :-)
