NSA Cracked Into Encrypted UN Video Conferences
McGruber writes "According to documents seen by Germany's Der Spiegel, the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) successfully cracked the encryption code protecting the United Nations' internal videoconferencing system. NSA first breached the UN system in the summer of 2012 and, within three weeks of initially gaining access to the UN system, the NSA had increased the number of such decrypted communications from 12 to 458. On one occasion, according to the report, while the American NSA were attempting to break into UN communications, they discovered the Chinese were attempting to crack the encryption code as well."
In living memory both the Soviet Union and Germany littered their countries with mass graves filled by millions of people that either wanted to vote for the "wrong" political party, were the "wrong" race, went to the "wrong" church, or were even just killed randomly. Those mass murders were performed as government policy by the secret police, police, and military. The people (monsters) that performed the mass murders were rewarded by the government for their actions. The US has done nothing like that, so no, the US doesn't engage in every kind of atrocity as you claim. You really are quite the opportunist when it comes to slandering the US. I hope I live long enough to see you condemn mass murder by the Soviets instead of the tap dance you regularly do around the subject. I'm curious, are you still living around the old inter-German border as you've noted in the past?

The united states DOES do those things. Just not within their own boarders.
They are doing it now in Iraq and Afghanistan, they did it all the time in South America by funding and arming terrorist groups there.
Could you point out where the mass grave are that the US filled by deliberately killing entire towns? Where are the mass graves from the political opposition? You're simply wrong.
No, the US does not do what the Soviets and Germans did. That includes Iraq and Afghanistan. The reverse is true. The US put and end to Saddams filling of mass graves, and exposed them to the world. Some in the world oppose and protest putting an end to Saddam's reign of terror.
10 Years After the Fall of Saddam, How Do Iraqis Look Back on the War?
"Iraq, today, 10 years on from the war, from the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, is not what the Iraqi people hoped for and expected. We hoped for an inclusive democracy, an Iraq that is at peace with itself and at peace with its neighbors," Salih said. "To be blunt, we are far from that."
"But," he added, "it's important to understand where we started from. ... Literally hundreds of thousands of Iraqis were sent to mass graves. Ten years on from the demise of Saddam Hussein, we're still discovering mass graves across Iraq. And Iraqis are better off without Saddam Hussein -- the overwhelming majority of Iraqis are better off without Saddam Hussein."
Many more mass graves have been found since this next item:
Excavating Mass Graves in Iraq: The Bitter Search for Truth in the Desert Sand - 2005
Already some 300 mass graves have been excavated since the end of Saddam's reign of terror. Although exact figures on the number of victims vary depending on who is counting, the Iraqis estimate that at least 500,000 bodies lie in the mass graves. The evidence collected in the pits is not only important to give relatives peace of mind, but also to assemble evidence against Saddam Hussein when he stands trial.
You weren't feeding a troll, your post is a troll.
