How Secret Partners Expand NSA's Surveillance Dragnet
Advocatus Diaboli (1627651) writes It has already been widely reported that the NSA works closely with eavesdropping agencies in the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia as part of the so-called Five Eyes surveillance alliance. But the latest Snowden documents show that a number of other countries, described by the NSA as "third-party partners," are playing an increasingly important role – by secretly allowing the NSA to install surveillance equipment on their fiber-optic cables. The NSA documents state that under RAMPART-A, foreign partners "provide access to cables and host U.S. equipment." This allows the agency to covertly tap into "congestion points around the world" where it says it can intercept the content of phone calls, faxes, e-mails, internet chats, data from virtual private networks, and calls made using Voice over IP software like Skype.
the powerful of the world use their confiscated wealth (via taxes) to harness technology to spy on everyone else. really how surprising.
move along, there is nothing to see here...
never bring a twinkie to a food fight.
Who are the NSA? Who do they work for? Certainly not the people. They are part of a giant criminal cabal, run by JEWS (quelle surprise), who have infested and taken over every facet of our society. The banks, the media, academia, and the government. With their Holohoax lie they keep their 'goyim' (cattle) under control, aided and abetted by the 'useful idiots' who believe everything they see on TV, and ONLY what they see on TV.
The NSA is the Jews' spy network, so they can make sure their 'cattle' aren't telling each other that they are enslaved, and who by.
