Former National Security Agency analyst Russell Tice, who helped expose the NSA’s warrantless wiretapping in December 2005, has now come forward with even more startling allegations. Tice told MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann on Wednesday that the programs that spied on Americans were not only much broader than previously acknowledged but specifically targeted journalists.
“The National Security Agency had access to all Americans’ communications — faxes, phone calls, and their computer communications,” Tice claimed. “It didn’t matter whether you were in Kansas, in the middle of the country, and you never made foreign communications at all. They monitored all communications.” Tice further explained that “even for the NSA it’s impossible to literally collect all communications. … What was done was sort of an ability to look at the metadata … and ferret that information to determine what communications would ultimately be collected.”
We took an informal poll in my office about this issue. Most agreed that unlimited wiretapping is a good thing as long as its for “National Security”. But then most everyone I work with are drooling idiots. And yes, they do read my posts.

the u.s. government under g.w. learned a lot from red china and emulated their security apparatus a lot.
dictatorships are very efficient. that’s what conservatives mean when they say they want small efficient government: a dictatorship.
you are under surveillance 24/7, so don’t rock the boat.
This discussion reminds me from the Walt Handelsman animated cartoon couple of years back was more accurate than most believed

WHO wants to try an experiment..?
I heard this and am wondering..
that 80% of the USA money, is PAPER/electronic..
what this means, is that only 20% of the USA worth is based on Tender. The rest is BANKS shipping AIR..
IF we ALL went to the bank and with draw our money…we should be able to BREAK this country and the banks, and the insurance corps, and ALL those that TAKE our money.
#35: dont ya just love FIAT money..
computers made the matter much worse..
not to worry though.. there will be a run on the banks in February, -maybe sooner. -you’ll get to see your “experiment” in action.
since the thieves did not get the last $350bil installment from the TARP scam, they are running out of cash to continue to manipulate the huge disconnect between the stock markets and gold price.
-gold tested above $900/oz today, finishing at
$898.. (it really should be at $1300+)
stock up on storable food..a run on the banks will be the least of your problems..
-all part of the plan. 🙁
