RT * Published on Jul 9, 2014
A German intel staff has been arrested for spying for the US, the second double-agent exposure in a week. RT asks ex-MI5 officer Annie Machon what NSA is looking for in other countries mobile phone records and will Germans push back against their allies.
- You know, the reporter raised an excellent point. What is the NSA after? Why don't they believe their ally isn't hiding something? Is this about the missing gold?
Or are they just after Anglea's ''selfies?''

(27,137 posts)Hmmm, I'm not sure what constitutes ''dirty'' anymore. In politics, this is especially so. Criminality and malfeasance is laughed at so often, no one expects the system to be just. When was the last government official was fired? Four jets supposedly hijacked in American airspace during 911, and no one even got bad performance review?
The exposures of criminality and outright violation of Constitutional protections via lawyer's opinion, have rendered our ''rights'' a moot point(s). Because nothing we've seen up til' now has truly reverberated -- not here. And until they do so here the rest of the world can only try to provoke an outcome to serve as the catalyst.
- Then again, that's why DHS bought 1.6 billion of rounds of ammo. For practice.

(18,998 posts)I mean like if they discovered that Merkil had a lover, or if she liked it kind of kinky...that kind of information opens up all kinds of opportunities.
But your right criminal activity is not frowned on today...in fact is some circles it is admired.
And as a note, I just watched a documentary on 911 and they said that the officers in charge of air defense were all promoted after the attack...so criminals reward those who help them.

(1,648 posts)The world is very quickly becoming very "unbalanced" and social/climate/environment factors, mostly due to our poor sheparding of our resources and their poorly done records of this misuse. Our very American freedoms are being negated by the Supremes and their heart breaking legal decisions. Stand Up and ACT!
