The NSA has a massive supercomputer called "The Black Widow" that watches millions of domestic and international phone calls and emails every single day. It is watching your electronic communications constantly and it may be aware that you are reading this article right now. That sounds like a plot from a Bourne movie doesn't it?
But it's not.
It's real.
On October 26th, the Baltimore Sun's national security correspondent, David Wood wrote the following about the constant spying the NSA is doing: "The NSA's colossal Cray supercomputer, code-named the 'Black Widow,' scans millions of domestic and international phone calls and e-mails every hour. . . . The Black Widow, performing hundreds of trillions of calculations per second, searches through and reassembles key words and patterns, across many languages."
Perhaps you were still under the illusion that your phone calls and emails were private.
Perhaps it horrifies you to think that someone out there could be laughing at the intimate things you have said or written to those close to you.
Perhaps you think a whistle blower would have come forward by now to try to stop this.
One whistle blower did.
A former AT&T technician, Mark Klein, discovered a secret AT&T room which the NSA was using to tap into the telecom giant's fiber optic cables.
On National Public Radio on November 7, 2007, Klein said this: "It's not just AT&T's traffic going through these cables, because these cables connected AT&T's network with other networks."
According to Klein, the NSA's equipment "just copies the entire data without any selection going on. So it's a complete copy of the data stream."
The reality is that the NSA looks at everything.
The reality is that the NSA looks at all of YOUR stuff.
After all, you could be a terrorist.
James Bamford, the author of the fascinating new study of the National Security Agency entitled "The Shadow Factory" says that the NSA has "the capacity to make tyranny total in America. Only law ensures that we never fall into that abyss."
So is this the new America?
An America where the government watches everything that you say and do?
It reminds us of the lyrics from that old Alan Parsons Project song entitled "Eye In The Sky".....
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind
in america you'll never be free,

ReplyDeleteFirst of all, it would be impossible to staff enough people to physically monitor every phone call and email. I am more concerned that God sees everything I do.

People, please do your own research.
ReplyDeleteThe FBI has given up on data that was encrypted, when it could have been worth a *few* million.
The NSA is NOT able to decrypt PGP with an acceptable key length.
PGP has no "backdoor," this "Additional Decryption Key" (ADK) was intended for corporate and .gov use, and later removed.
If you feel the internet could become censored, perhaps you should familiarize yourself with TOR, Freenet, Waste, and other handy software, before you _need_ to use them.
WAKE UP AMERICA
ReplyDeleteNot surprised at all, perhaps we could use our vast technology to zap us back to 1776, a time when mans liberty was understood as a birth rite, not a fictional idea used to quell the masses into a deep sleep so that the idiots who consider themselves "special" or "better" than the whole of mankind can do as they will with us.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am disgusted with what Americans have allowed to happen, and whats more, I would love to see the traitors who perpetuate these crimes against us tried in a court of law, found guilty, and sentenced to a fitting punishment.
What's the big deal? Who cares? If you have no bad intentions (of a great magnitude) then what the hell do you have to hide? Don't flatter yourselves by thinking someone cares about what porn you look at or what you gossip about. God and Satan watches YOUR MIND 24/7, and they BOTH have their way with you. The NSA? Not even close.
