Analyst's note:  Absolutely must consider this chilling information.  You will want to share this one with your friends.  Exactly how much more data does OUR government need on the American citizen?  Just off the top of my head, and just for starters, they have access to our financial records, our sales records, our marriage and death records, and now our phone records. 

We also see the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Office on Women's Health (OWH) Website For Girls, 10 to 16, Informs Youth About Birth Control, Gay Sex, ‘Mutual Masturbation'.  Who knows, they might even learn when you speak out against this?

Here are related comments sent to me by a friend on this matter of phone records. 

"Most Americans would not see how getting Verizon "meta-data" on all American's phone calls is a problem for privacy. After all, they are NOT getting the content of the message. So what is the big deal?

The "meta-data" is the connection information.  Who is calling whom? for how long? From where to where" who is billed? What names are associated with what numbers?  Now you are beginning to see what can be understood from having this data.  Computers can quickly build a "community" of people with which you communicate.  Government now knows your friends and your friends' friends.  Feds will know which friends are you frequent and those you seldom call.  It will know when you use other phone lines by comparing "communities".

Can this lead to problems?  Sure. Suppose that friendly neighborhood mosque phones you soliciting a donation or to ask you to be quiet on Thursday evenings (after all metadata does not capture content) and suddenly your community includes a terrorist training center. Is it not also possible that the enemy could thus "seed" you into the system?

Remember that some have said everyone is connected within 6 degrees of separation.  It is highly likely that the friend of your brother's in-laws is a criminal or a terror suspect (tens of thousands on those watch lists).  Now your community includes people the Feds consider threats to the state Heaven forbid you might call church friends, or an actual Christian pastor who once spoke about the Constitution reverently ... you are clearly a person of interest now!

So actually from your "community connections" what will map out from this data is clearly of more use to the Feds than anything you might say; especially, if you are aware your lines might be tapped.  No, this wholesale access to all American phone calls will surely give a snapshot of more value than the message you share.  Further, if they should repeat this harvest again later they can spot your new friends.  Better be careful you do not pick up any new foreign friends, or communicate to any other "community" with suspicious ties. Clearly you were recruited!

Now lets get real. Do you think this system of collection is going to be any test for the truly evil "communities"?  Do you think there are no anonymous or single phones? Do you think people never use other phones, especially when they are about questionable communications? Do you think the occasional dangerous communication can not have a masked or anonymous routing? This harvest is most likely useful against the unprotected, unwary, citizen patriot --- not the organized terrorist or traitor-spy professional.

On the second article -- Now FBI wants back door to all software-- the FBI is notoriously behind in the cyber law, cyber crime area.  Its investment in technology is in the main reactionary and very limited. This naive demand that the entire IT industry open its products up so the FBI can play in them -- is laughable. 

No thinking software developer nor hardware engineer will give away their trade secrets and patent information so their work is transparent to all.  Would such a backdoor be hacked?  Dah, within hours if not minutes. 

If the FBI could do it, so will China, Russia, and Billy in the basement next door.  What idiot thought this FBI backdoor was a good idea?  It has to be one of those cyber-ignorant FBI administrators, that is who.  And we expect them to protect America. Double dah."

We just learned that the U.S. mining data from 9 leading Internet firms; companies deny knowledge such that The Washington Post is reporting that 'THEY QUITE LITERALLY CAN WATCH YOUR IDEAS AS YOU TYPE'.  In fact back in September 2012, Wired reports in an article entitled CIA Chief: We'll Spy on You Through Your Dishwasher .... the article starts of by reminding us that "More and more personal and household devices are connecting to the internet, from your television to your car navigation systems to your light switches.[....]"

Shep Smith and Judge Napolitano Explode Over Massive Scale of NSA Surveillance: ‘Under This Logic, They Can Do Anything!'

 

 

In the last 24 hours, it has been revealed that the National Security Agency (NSA) has been indiscriminately monitoring all Verizon phone records for the past seven years.

The stunning revelation sent Fox News host Shep Smith and Judge Andrew Napolitano into a frenzy on Thursday. In fact, Napolitano said it represented the "most extraordinarily broad search warrant ever issued in the history of the federal courts of the United States."

Lawmakers like Sens. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Thursday tried to downplay the bombshell report, arguing that such surveillance has been going on for a long time and as long as you aren't talking to terrorists, you have nothing to worry about.

"Harry Reid says we should just calm down Judge," Smith began.

He went on to mock Reid's position: "This has been going on a long time, they've been able stop some sort of terrorism, this, that or the other thing. So just don't worry about it, just relax everybody."

Napolitano said the "screwy" law allows the executive branch to tell select members of Congress about secret domestic surveillance programs, but prohibits them from telling other members of Congress or the American people.

"Just because Harry Reid knew about this for seven years and it's been going on for seven years does not mean it's constitutionally permissible," Napolitano said. "This is a fishing expedition on the grandest scale we've ever seen in American history."

 

 

 

He went on to say the Constitution requires the government to present evidence to a judge relating particular individuals if it wants to seize personal information like phone records of American citizens.

"Rather than doing that, they got a search warrant for 113 million phones," Napolitano added.

"That we know of!" Smith interjected.

Judge Napolitano then speculated that Director of National Intelligence James Clapper "lied under oath" when he testified that the NSA wasn't collecting any type of data at all on hundreds of millions of Americans.

"Not wittingly," Clapper said in March. "There are cases where they could inadvertently perhaps collect, but not wittingly."

Smith went on to say that only the court order relating to Verizon's records have leaked, meaning that the NSA is likely monitoring other phone companies as well.

"Who are we to think they didn't do this with all of them?" he asked.

The idea that Americans would sacrifice liberty for safety is a "canard," Napolitano chimed in. He said "this is the most extraordinarily broad search warrant ever issued in the history of the federal courts of the United States."

"Under this logic, the government could send people to all of our homes, put them in a bed next to us, have them watch everything. Under this logic, they can do anything!" Smith added.
