You can make up for it by sending him a nice email Christmas card. All will be forgiven, that’s the Christian way, of cause.

If they listened for years could not possibly connect any dots. And they have learned nothing of value after breaking the law. And if that is not bad enough, the idiots listening have been swapping tapes and getting off on the personal stuff they hear.

And on top of all of that, they are building a facility in Texas to house all the billions of information they have because they have run out of room. I cannot help wondering just why they keep so much? If indeed they claim to dispose of all that irrelevant stuff, why hold onto it? How difficult is it to hear nothing and then burn the tape? Will that warehouse of private information be as well guarded as the government computers that are broken into or lost information that comes out so frequently?

For unscrupulous persons this information is a goldmine of opportunity for business and personal blackmail. Hey, we have had 8 years of lessons in paranoia. And the unthinkable has now become the norm under a Republican administration.

Go ahead and tell me it cannot happen.

Guess how the Bush administration reacted?

It is not the Constitution, it is the lack of integrity of those that swore to uphold and protect it – and those that voted for those scum.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government

Find Democrat. Jail that person.

The claim is senseless: “They collected the telephone numbers of callers and recipients in the United States, and the time and duration of the calls. They also collected and stored the subject lines of e-mails, the times they were sent, and the addresses of both senders and recipients. … All this metadata was then sifted by the NSA, using complex algorithms to detect patterns and links that might indicate terrorist activity”

According to this claim, they took a small amount of information. However, just having the little info they claim here is far from sufficient to establish any kind of patterns of any kind of illegal information. Times of phone calls only? JUST the subject lines of e-mails? Big fat BULLSH!T!!! That is not relevant data for anyhting. They listened in and have recordings of phone calls (and then the program sifts the recordings for a variety of recognizable keywords), they also have the complete e-mails that they scooped up, and in the same manner, the program looks for key words, and flags anything that contains those words or phrases.

NSA: enemies of freedom, deniers of Americans rights.

As is ‘Six Degrees’ shows,anyone can be connected with anyone else in six steps, given sufficient information. All it takes is someone with an agenda to ‘make sense’ of those connections and act upon them, no matter how coincidental they might be.

Hey, NSA;

UP YOURS!
