How The NSA Spies On You

[redrubies]

the same as google, collects and organises data. It would be easier for you to look through every website listed in google, than it would be for the NSA to assign a person to monitor another citizen. If an average nsa worker does 8 hours a day, and has an hour for lunch, it would take them say 1 hour to make a decision on all your data, then they move onto the next person. They probably get griefed by their manager, about not meeting their productivity targets too.

That NSA worker then leaves work, and buys a car, gets a mortgage and has children. There is no "all seeing single eye"

Its merely another corporation drowning in excess amounts of data.

If the amount of people who complained about NSA actually bothered to speak to their neighbours, and find out what they do for a living, and report any terrorists directly to the government then they wouldn't need to collect everyones data.

Most people are always complaining about the proverbial "big brother " when the reality is that only younger brothers and sisters actually a right to complain about their big brother.

Pay no attention. Some people are armchair quarterbacks. Every country has them. The worst ones are on facebook posting status after status of government complaints, but they do nothing to help stop the problem. One of these days, I am going to ask them how they have time to work.

Note: When I say "US" here, I don't mean all people of america. We have to accept that there are simply a lot of corporate people with corporate interests. There hasn't been a single war which wasn't about some sort of control or profit. Most of the time it was for the preservation of the petro dollar (for example, africa, syria, etc.)

Wars are started by old men who see a profit somewhere, then enflame the young with nationalistic patriotism, pride, and hatred for the enemy and then send them off to war. The young fight and die for a cause they didn't have or initially believe in. Naturally the old men reap a profit and then after some time allow the wars to come to a close. After a few years, they start all over again.

The winners here are the old men, various investors, and the military industrial complex.

The losers are everyone else.

wars kill off the fittest, leaving the rest to pass on their genes, thus weakening society.

You want people to start turning each other in??
That is the WORST solution I've heard to this yet.

In fact, it's worse than the NSA mining data cuz it means creating suspects out of innocent people all over the place.

No disrespect, but it's not like this is kind of outdated? I mean, how nsa spies on us? I'm pretty sure any person can figure that out!

It's like USSR's system, people just said "He's a spy!" and damn, the guy was never seen again, ah well - the good ole' days are over!

 

[Feathars]

but what do they want with poor little us lol

 

[auxiliarus]

if "free energy" ever becomes available (ha!) many wars will be prevented. and many groups will lose their influence.

Aha, in my place, a lot of people bought sun converting energy system to their house, they only pay for water now.

I don't think he meant it that way. I think he meant it more like this. http://www.dhs.gov/if-you-see-something-say-something™-campaign These campaign signs are on all the trains and also in NYC. It's the "If you see something, say something" campaign.

it was like that in the u.s. during the 50s "red scare" period.

1. she's a witch! - 300 years ago.
2. he's a communist! - 60 years ago.
3. they're terrorists! - today.
4. he's an alien! - sometime in the near future, guaranteed.

The fact that they have a default set-up through all current communications technology to flick a switch, as it were, and collect/track all your info without probable cause or due process, is the all seeing eye. Whenever they want, they can monitor you with no legal or constitutional process, and the goal is not to track "terrorists" but to control the entire population, though fear of the surveillance apparatus, and the guns behind them.

Amen. I see you understand as well what is going on and the path they have led us down.

A more technologically advanced 1984 is our future.
