Obama Changed Rules Regarding Raw Intelligence, Allowing NSA To Share Raw Data With US's Other 16 Intelligence Agencies (schneier.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Schneier on Security: President Obama has changed the rules regarding raw intelligence, allowing the NSA to share raw data with the U.S.'s other 16 intelligence agencies. The new rules significantly relax longstanding limits on what the N.S.A. may do with the information gathered by its most powerful surveillance operations, which are largely unregulated by American wiretapping laws. These include collecting satellite transmissions, phone calls and emails that cross network switches abroad, and messages between people abroad that cross domestic network switches. The change means that far more officials will be searching through raw data. Essentially, the government is reducing the risk that the N.S.A. will fail to recognize that a piece of information would be valuable to another agency, but increasing the risk that officials will see private information about innocent people. Here are the new procedures. This rule change has been in the works for a while. Here are two blog posts from April discussing the then-proposed changes.
It is not permissible to suggest impeachment for the first black president of the US. That's was/is his "get out of jail card".
The whole, "it started on Reddit (or 4chan, or wherever)" has already been debunked. They guy who claimed to have started the rumor conveniently says he lost his original post with the story, "because he installed a new OS".
And anyway, the story has been out there for quite a while. The Wall Street Journal and the BBC have it from completely different sources. There were even efforts to get FISA warrants to look into the story.
Man up and accept that your Dear Leader likes chicks to piss on him. It's a stain that will not wash out of his presidency. The funny part is that is the least objectionable part of what was in the 35-page dossier that the British Intelligence agent prepared on Trump.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Be a cunt but Obama was elected because he was black. I know people who admitted that they voted for him just to have a black president. Too many SJWs who think that everyone who isn't a white male is somehow virtuous regardless if you can prove them wrong.
