This is for all you Yankies out there on SBI. Maybe some of you didn;'t know of this news before, but I found this from a link from Wikileaks.org. One of the supporters of that same site.
Check it out:'
The date on this article is Jan. 2010.
Survelience by the state in cooperation with a telecom agency. Maybe the telecom agency was legally enforced to do so or they were asked. Let's have a looksie, shall we??A federal judge has dismissed Jewel v. NSA, a case from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) on behalf of AT&T customers challenging the National Security Agency's mass surveillance of millions of ordinary Americans' phone calls and emails.
The US isn't the only one susceptible to this......Setting limits on Executive power is one of the most important elements of America's system of government, and judicial oversight is a critical part of that."
Think of this on a local scale in your own country happening...which, by the way could.
Both theoretically and practically considering the global climate regarding hyper-security and false pretenses of exactly that same issue.
Is this dangerous stuff or what??.....Judge Vaughn Walker held that the privacy harm to millions of Americans from the illegal spying dragnet was not a "particularized injury" but instead a "generalized grievance" because almost everyone in the United States has a phone and Internet service.......the FBI has been unlawfully obtaining Americans' phone records......
Yes, it is dangerous.
It's dangerous to your own privacy.
Privacy is treaded upon in many, many countries around the world already.
Canada does it.
A number of the Euro states do it.
A great number of the Arab states, like Jordan do it as well.
There's of course other states like Saudi Arabia which is closely aligned with the US in it's made-for-TV search for non-existant terrorists.
The terrorists do exist.
Dont' get me wrong.
But they exist only in so far as a collusive effort by top-level people subtly encroaching on a course destined to create a controlled chaos.
As for this story and what's been going on in the world over the last number of decades. My bet is this is all connected.
Let's continue with this illegal wiretapping story, shall we...
I hope that the Yanks are successful in that endeavor as it could hold a precedence for future illegal activity that could very well be made legal. 'Jewel v. NSA is aimed at ending the NSA's dragnet surveillance of millions of ordinary Americans and holding accountable the government officials who illegally authorized it. Evidence in the case includes undisputed documents provided by former AT&T telecommunications technician Mark Klein showing AT&T has routed copies of Internet traffic to a secret room in San Francisco controlled by the NSA....
Yes. That's right. .....made to be legal.
And if it can happen down there, this sort of activity can happen anywhere your dreams could take you.
Right in your own backyard, folks.
