The NSA claims access to 75% of the internet. This must be the amount of it that they CAN data mine. Those huge awesome computers play mix-n-match and connect-the-dots… grinding away on which IP address is contacting which IP address. The data passes through gates and wickets. Some relationships and frequencies attract the machine’s attention.  These addresses are funneled to a new series of deeper mining… key words… key places… key routing… key suspects. If these (and how many other levels?) are productive, the actual communications are forwarded to human analysts for (probable cause) scrutiny.

The NSA only has time to scrutinize approximately 0.00004% of traffic (that’s 4/1,000,000)… and your sleazy emails don’t interest them. No matter how much porn you look at… download… they don’t have time for you. No matter how many times you engage in Tea Party language …or rant about the death of our nation… or disparage the Pretender-in-Chief… the NSA does not have time to fool with you.  It’s not likely they would notice a drug deal or a bank robbery going down. That’s NOT what NSA (and their world partners) is(are) are seeking to discover.

Let me ask you, have YOU ever been interviewed by the media? I’ll bet you found it amazing what THEY heard you say and how THEY presented it.  NSA has NO chance, in this yellow journalism environment, of ever getting its explanation accurately presented. To add to NSA’s burden, they have to calm the public without giving away the farm.

Worry about something else… the ObamaCare data hub comes immediately to mind.

“So is the gubment the winning team to cheer, or is the gubment gassing children in the middle east to further its agenda?”

I’m confused about your position. I would recommend against cheering for the government in favor of cheering for our Republic (and its founding document).  The only “gubment gassing children in the middle east” is accomplished using chemical weapons (AKA WMD) removed from Iraq prior to its being appropriately conquered by the Coalition.

“The URL includes a hacked email from a defense contractor.  How would we know what to consider to believe without this Bradley Manning type of info?”

“Chelsea” Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden are the types who would spit on a Burger to punish their employer (and/or customer).

We are learning that NSA was partnering with other national intelligence agencies to enhance global coverage and mutual defense against terrorism. (I would not be surprised to see Russian agencies involved.)  So the whole accusation(s) against NSA goes appropriately to “motive.” Where, in this whole “spying on Americans” falderal, do you see our intelligence agencies even interested in any of our own personal sordid communications?

Under ObamaCare, HHS in cooperation with the IRS, Social Security, Medicare et al, is operating a “Data Hub” which will be manned by un-vetted, low education, “navigators.” These navigators will search the database on behalf of “qualified clients” to share information which “improves benefits” to citizens.

YOUR medical records, financial information, and personal data ARE ALREADY being collected in this yet to be secured data base. Ask your doctor next time you see him or her. What do you think the IRS is doing with your info? Why should the Census be interested in your race and income?

Will you have ANY control over who gets your personal information? You should have less faith in the motive and security of the HHS Data Hub than you do in Facebook or Gmail or Google. How difficult will it be for hackers to gain access to a system operated by low income-low information-unknown employees working with a system created by a government contractor who had no experience with such a data system.

NSA is following a mandate to secure our nation while protecting our constitutional rights as best they can without exposing their methods to our enemies. Can you say that for the ObamaCare Data Hub. Which of these two activities is getting a “pass” by the media?

Sleep well my friend. We will ALL pay the price for smugness.

Just wait until one of those “navigators” gets angry at his (or her) employer.

Yes cheer for the republic.

Cheer for the presidency but not the president likewise.

The Iraq chemical weapon precursors came from Texas.

These guys took oaths.   Secret and constitution.
The smell got so bad that constitution trumped secret.
Their lives are screwed now.
A sacrifice worthy of Jesus.
They are heroes.

           You and I are the terrorists.  Read the definition.

           Cognizant ex military #1 on the list.

           Government is force, not reason.

             I agree that IRS TSA type morons with guns handling our data is a problem.

             It's a done deal.  Data is being moved and morons are being hired under

             a federal hiring freeze under a frozen debt limit under an organization

             that actively condemns Tea Party speech.

             Wasn't Learner supposed to run this section of the IRS?

             Just the tip of the iceberg.

               Trading freedom for security gets you neither.

               There are no terrorists to fight.

               "Terrorists" convince you to trade.

                The media convinces you terrorists are under your bed.

Sleep well my friend. We will ALL pay the price for smugness.     Ditto

It is true Saddam Hussein used chemicals weapons. The Reagan administration and the U.S. Department Commerce made sure Iraq received all the biological and chemical weapons it required. Phillips Petroleum, Unilever, Alcolac, Allied Signal, the American Type Culture Collection, and Teledyne sold the materials with the blessing of the United States government. I wrote about this in late 2002 as the Bush administration ran its Iraq weapons of mass destruction scam as a pretext to invade the country, an endeavor that eventually killed more than a million Iraqis (piled atop more than a million previously killed under sanctions) and that ultimately resulted in the execution of the CIA dupe Saddam Hussein.

Now we learn that the CIA helped Saddam Hussein attack Iran with chemical weapons in the 1980s during the Iran-Iraq war. 20,000 Iranian troops were killed by mustard gas and nerve agents including sarin and 100,000 were wounded.
