Edward Snowden presents hard evidence of the extent and scope of the NSA's Mass Surveillance.
It is reported in the Guardian on June 6th.
Little that is new is revealed by Snowden in this and subsequent articles, except that the NSA's mass internet data collection program is called Prism.
Every potential terrorist and just about every foreign government knew that the NSA was spying on EVERY American and millions more around the world.
Lots of other people knew too.
Glenn Greenwald's first and subsequent articles report that the NSA is indiscriminately collecting phone call data and massive amounts of internet activity on EVERY American.
The only thing that is new is that the world (and Congress) sits up and takes notice.
The scandal causes major embarrassment to members of the US government.
Predictably the US government and the US media try to attack the messenger not the message.
They fail and the scandal grows as more and more people sit up and take notice.
Previous NSA whistle blowers, William Binney, Thomas Drake and J Kirk Wiebe are completely vindicated. They confirm what Snowden is saying.
James Clapper and Dianne Feinstein are caught lying big time.
Clapper's perjury under oath to Congress carries a maximum sentence of 5 years in jail.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022990011
The NSA Director, General Keith Alexander, is caught lying under oath to Congress 14 times by Hank Johnson.
Each count of perjury carries a maximum sentence of 5 years - 70 years in total.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022998300
James Bamford's previous article on the NSA's massive data center, just completed in Utah, is used by Hank Johnson as evidence.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022998690
The reason the Utah data center is so massive and has the capacity to store the entire contents of the internet thousands of times over is obvious.
It is required to store massive amounts of surveillance data on EVERY American and millions more around the world.
Amy Goodman's article, from 2012, that the NSA has gone rogue is completely vindicated.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2012/apr/26/how-national-security-agency-gone-rogue
The NSA's justification for their Mass Surveillance activities are completely discredited.
They can cite ZERO examples where a terror plot could not of been foiled without the Patriot Act by obtaining a warrant after finding probable cause.
And they do not need to carry out mass surveillance in order to thwart terrorist plots.

Alan Grayson clearly spells out the NSA's Mass Surveillance programs to the American people and to Congress.
He is determined to put a stop to it.
It is revealed that the NSA is getting around the "legal limitations" on spying on millions of Americans via the Five Eyes program with the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
They spy on each other's citizens and swap data.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023052659
It is revealed that GCHQ is tapping into the world's major fiber optic cables to bulk collect internet and phone data on just about everone in the world.
They then pass this information on for the NSA to store at their facility in Utah.

People are very slowly starting to wake up as to the true purpose and implications of the NSA Mass Surveillance programs.
GCHQ revelations: mastery of the internet will mean mastery of everyone | Guardian
http://gu.com/p/3gn8z/tw
The NSA's Mass Surveillance programs are NOT counter terrorism measures for which they are extremely ineffective.
See Boston which was a massive intelligence failure and should of been stopped.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023028453
The true purpose of the NSA's Mass Surveillance programs are to blackmail and intimidate in order to suppress political dissent and to control those in government or political rivals.
When someone upsets the government in some way they will become a "a person of interest", their existing surveillance file (they have one on everyone) will be looked up to see what the NSA has on them.
The scope of the NSA's data collection :-
ALL phone records, including Meta data giving location.
The contents of ALL phone calls
ALL Emails
ALL texts
ALL voicemails
ALL SKYPE conversations
Large amounts of social media activity
ALL internet searches
ALL internet sites visited
Large amounts of electronic financial transactions - bank accounts and purchases etc.
Some of the political enemies, dissidents or rivals that are to be targeted as "persons of interest"
Occupy protesters
Leading climate change protesters
Keystone pipeline protesters
Anti Monsanto organizers
Tea Party activists
Gun rights activists
Troublesome journalists (there are not many of those these days, the vast majority of mainstream journalists are lapdogs for the Establishment)
National politicians - members of Congress
Federal judges
State politicians
Leaders of State Parties
Critics of the NSA
Vocal critics of government policies
Top military personnel
Top government officials
Business people
Lawyers
Civil rights activists
etc. etc.
There are now something like 800,000 people on government watch lists.
Probably at least half of them have nothing whatsoever to do with Islamic Extremism or Terrorism.
They are people the government DOESN'T LIKE and wants to CONTROL.

Your statement is naive. The evidence clearly shows they can get a warrant for whatever they want. They just have to evaluate the data, figure out what they need to investigate further and find a FISA-rubber stamp judge.
Second, they can use the data to tell them what they need to find. Let's say the data indicates that a pain in the political ass NY Governor is seeing a prostitute. All the authorities have to do is figure out a way to catch him. Maybe show up at one of his rendezvous. Easy peasy.

(8,582 posts)First, the much-ballyhooed PRISM program is not a program and not a secret, and anyone who says it is should not be trusted because they dont know what theyre talking about. PRISM is the name for the government computer system that is used to handle the foreign-intelligence data collected under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Some explanation up front: I spent seven years investigating the national-security systems and policies established in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks for my book 500 Days. I learned a fair amount about the data-mining programs of the N.S.A. and wrote about it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Eichenwald
Little that is new is revealed by Snowden in this and subsequent articles, except that the NSA's mass internet data collection program is called Prism.
So Snowden isn't even right about Prism when he calls it a program according to Kurt Eichenwald.

They even had "an opening ceremony" in May.
The capacity of this facility has also been documented.
This isn't the only facility for the NSA to store data.
It is, by far, the largest that I know of.
It is also documented that as part of Five Eyes, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are sharing data with the NSA, by spying on each other's citizens.
They are using the NSA's "cloud" which now includes the facility in Utah in order to do this.
Five Eyes is how they are getting round some of the "legal technicalities" of the NSA collecting massive amounts of surveillance data on EVERY American.

SAN ANTONIO - Over the past six years, the National Security Agency has quietly transformed the former Sony chip fabrication plant on the northwest side into a black-box hub of intelligence gathering and data storage.
Satellite and aerial imagery show that massive air conditioning units and backup generators have been added to the facility, which is now ringed by barbed-wire fencing. City permits and property tax records show that the complex has been dramatically expanded.
~Snip~
Longtime observers of the intelligence agency say they believe the San Antonio plant has a mission similar to the agency's other new facilities in Georgia and Hawaii, where communications intercepted by NSA are translated and then sent to headquarters in Maryland for analysis.
~Snip~
With the facilities in Georgia and Hawaii, as well as with other major construction projects, the NSA included the costs as line items in the Defense Department's budget. But it hasn't done so with the San Antonio location. In a written statement, an NSA spokeswoman said funding for the project followed normal protocol. However, she did not identify the budget item that Congress approved for the expansion

Usually not at the same time to make it harder to prove. But we have along history of doing this.
They see nothing wrong with the wholesale spying that is counter to the 4th Amendment, no matter how lightly or thoroughly the 4th Amendment is read or studied. These reality deniers make no Sense.
Our government is now turning on us, the US citizens, to be treated as this country has been treating people in other countries.

(60,071 posts)I can understand how a person can become disillusioned and angry at their own country. Your job in intel becomes your world, you see nothing but the worst in mankind. It twists you, it makes you a cynic. It drives you a little nuts (PTSD?). I went through that crisis myself, but didn't do what Snowden did. I realized nothing would change if I talked, except for me being housed in some federal prison. My own sense of honor prevented me from going against my own word. I said I would keep my mouth shut about my job and I did. Instead of betraying the oath I took, I just carried on and when my time was up, I put on my civies, threw away my shaving kit, walked out the gate and put that life behind me.
It did radicalize me. I dropped out of society for a couple decades. I started coming back in a bit once married. That street fighting anarchist is still inside me, but the old arthritic bones keeps me away from the barricades. It's a young man's game. Snowden may have done more good by channeling that rage into working for justice in his own home town. We need some angry young men and women to fight against mountaintop removal and fracking. Corporate greed and corporate control of our government is the real enemy. (see last paragraph)
As soon as Snowden went public, everything changed in that community. What info he had that hasn't been released, code words, frequencies, encryption, has changed. His value as an asset to our adversaries has diminished greatly. There is a very short shelf life for intel. That's why torture is of little use. An asset gets captured, and before he spends his first night in captivity, his cohorts have moved on and reworked every part of their system. You can't assume he will keep his yap shut.
The real damage done by Snowden is confirming what was suspected, and that is mitigated by the universal realization that no secure system is secure. Our allies and enemies are spying on us, and we them, and we know they can breach our firewalls. Snowden's revelations were probably met with a big shrug world wide. That doesn't mean the politicians will not use it to their advantage.
Military secrets are just one target, the big target is the international business community. The cold war is now an economic war. al Qaeda's end game was the destruction of our economic and in turn, our military capabilities. "They hate us for our freedom" was total bullshit. They hate us for our economic clout and the effect it has on their culture.
If you remember, at the end of the cold war GHW Bush shifted the focus away from military intel to spying on the international business community. Industrial espionage for the benefit of Corporate America is the real reason for our expanded spy agencies. I'd be willing to bet that much of the data collected is not individuals, but the business communities in our economic rivals. In business we have no allies, just enemies and potential enemies.

(60,071 posts)are not covered by the 4th amendment, so they can spy on us at will. They need no FISC, no warrants. The right believes we have no right to privacy as affirmed in Griswold Vs Connecticut and Roe Vs Wade. That is what is at the crux of their opposition to R v W. Anti abortion advocates are just useful idiots.
If Americans have no right to privacy, we have no right to fight invasions of our privacy by government and business.
