NSA Wiretapping and Snowden on the run

[Kid McNamara]

he didn't slide in, he flew in normal, took his kid to Disney land / white house, this pic was taken before he was on the governments radar , same year this pic was taken he was actually a elected senate member in Colombia

Didn't he become a senate member in order to exploit the diplomatic loophole in a newly ratified law which would allow for his extradition to the United States?

I believe the United States was looking to scoop him up and he became a senator to avoid this fate.

As an aside during testimony on Capitol Hill today, a National Security Agency representative rather casually indicated that the government looks at data from a universe of far, far more people than previously indicated.

Chris Inglis, the agency's deputy director, was one of several government representatives—including from the FBI and the office of the Director of National Intelligence—testifying before the House Judiciary Committee this morning. Most of the testimony largely echoed previous testimony by the agencies on the topic of the government's surveillance, including a retread of the same offered examples for how the Patriot Act and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act had stopped terror events.

But Inglis' statement was new. Analysts look "two or three hops" from terror suspects when evaluating terror activity, Inglis revealed. Previously, the limit of how surveillance was extended had been described as two hops. This meant that if the NSA were following a phone metadata or web trail from a terror suspect, it could also look at the calls from the people that suspect has spoken with—one hop. And then, the calls that second person had also spoken with—two hops. Terror suspect to person two to person three. Two hops. And now: A third hop.

Think of it this way. Let's say the government suspects you are a terrorist and it has access to your Facebook account. If you're an American citizen, it can't do that currently (with certain exceptions)—but for the sake of argument. So all of your friends, that's one hop. Your friends' friends, whether you know them or not—two hops. Your friends' friends' friends, whoever they happen to be, are that third hop. That's a massive group of people that the NSA apparently considers fair game.

Farrakhan been saying the government was spying on people. Even with proof of the biggest Uncle Tom ever in John Ali, spying on the NOI.

Fake outrage by our politicians about the NSA program, and at the same time they vote to reject efforts to curb NSA wire tapping.

The U.S. government has demanded that major Internet companies divulge users' stored passwords, according to two industry sources familiar with these orders, which represent an escalation in surveillance techniques that has not previously been disclosed.

If the government is able to determine a person's password, which is typically stored in encrypted form, the credential could be used to log in to an account to peruse confidential correspondence or even impersonate the user. Obtaining it also would aid in deciphering encrypted devices in situations where passwords are reused.

House rejects NSA spying restrictions after White House outcry — RT USA

 

[Shogun]

House votes to continue NSA surveillance program

Backing the NSA program were 134 Republicans and 83 Democrats, including House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who typically does not vote, and Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. Rejecting the administration’s last-minute pleas to spare the surveillance operation were 94 Republicans and 111 Democrats.

It is unlikely to be the final word on government intrusion to defend the nation and Americans’ civil liberties.

That's like someone criticizing a person who is trying to fight hunger, by volunteering at the local food pantry, by telling them they aren't really helping cause they need to volunteer at a food pantry in every single continent.
