NSA Said to Collect Millions of Verizon Phone Records

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

A. Bush's fault . can also be "conjure up any conservative any history that even remotely did anything similar to what is going on today. It makes it ok.

Failing reading comprehension once more. This is becoming an ugly habit, man. The votes I quoted are not something of the distant past or of the Bush era. Those votes were held in December 2012. And no, it's not okay which is why I specifically said that Obama should have vetoed that legislation. You do know what a veto is, don't you? That said, we should all be aware how the votes on this fell - this is Republican supported legislation. Republicans could have stopped this easily. They could have let the existing legislation sunset. But Republicans hate liberty, Republicans hate the Constitution and Republicans love searches without warrants on the population. This is why they voted overwhelmingly to keep this ####### legislation alive and well for another half decade.

I really don't think it's even a reading comprehension issue at this point.

I think he's simply not even reading what he's responding to. Or he'll read a sentence or two, assume he knows what it's about, and respond to it then.

Tsk tsk.

At the end of the day something like this should never happen does not matter under Rep or Dem president.

Kind of scary to think his wife has an MA in teaching English seeing as his reading comprehension is so bad! Maybe she knows how dumb he is now and there is friction at home. Taking his passion for guns and hooker heels, I hope Alla is prepared!

P.S. I heard Gary was having a secret meeting with the MOD's today to discus PRO-NRA agendas...

So your conspiracy theories about board moderation are all valid, but anyone else's get laughed at? Got it.

Maybe you do understand what I am trying to tell you after all. Yes you got it.

The same people that wish to revoke your 2nd amendment rights are revoking your 1st and 4th amendment rights. But possibly, since there were no telephones when the Bill of Rights was written back in the 18th century, maybe those rights apply only to newspapers and town criers? Our founding fathers could never have anticipated telephones and internet

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Today, President Obama issued the following letter to all Verizon customers:

Dear Verizon Customers,

Yesterday it came to light that the National Security Agency has been collecting millions of phone records from you each and every day. Since that news was released, many of you have called the White House with questions and concerns about this new program. To save my time and yours, here are answers to three of the F.A.Q.s (Frequently Asked Questions) we’ve been hearing from you:

1. Will I be charged extra for this service?

I’m happy to say that the answer is no. While the harvesting and surveillance of your domestic phone calls were not a part of your original Verizon service contract, the National Security Agency is providing this service entirely free of charge.

2. If I add a phone to my account, will those calls also be monitored?

Once again, the answer is good news. If you want to add a child or any other family member to your Verizon account, their phone calls—whom they called, when, and the duration of the call—will all be monitored by the United States government, at no additional cost.

3. Can the National Security Agency help me understand my Verizon bill?

Unfortunately, no. The National Security Agency has tried, but failed, to understand Verizon’s bills. Pease call Verizon customer service and follow the series of electronic prompts.

I hope I’ve helped clear up some of the confusion about this exciting new program. But if you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to call the White House. Joe Biden is standing by.

God bless America,

President Obama

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_tapping

The most recent case of U.S. wiretapping was the NSA warrantless surveillance controversy discovered in December 2005. It aroused much controversy after then President George W. Bush admitted to violating a specific federal statute (FISA) and the warrant requirement of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The President claimed his authorization was consistent with other federal statutes (AUMF) and other provisions of the Constitution, it was necessary to keep America safe from terrorism and could lead to the capture of notorious terrorists responsible for the September 11 attacks in 2001.

In 2007 a United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court court ruling required the NSA to obtain a warrant when intercepting or eavesdropping on foreign-to-foreign intelligence if it passes through any U.S. networks. The Bush Administration in response passed a stopgap legislation very quickly through congress that temporarily relieves the NSA of this prior ruling. Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell said to Congress that the new ruling could potentially decrease the amount of useful information they collected on groups like al Qaeda by almost two thirds. He also stated that applying for a warrant can run up to 90 pages and can be time consuming and labor intensive.

How any conservative cries foul now is simply breathtaking. Your rights were stripped for 8 years and you just LOVED it!

Hahaha...

Weren't we just talking about the whole surveillance state, data mining and data collecting a week or so back? I was telling you all about some of the software programs they use and now all this comes out.

Thought I'd add this gem to this thread since it's on the same topic. Google, Facebook, Microsoft, others allegedly allow the US government to “watch your ideas form as you type”

This program is called PRISM. It's where the NSA and FBI can watch you and collect your data in real time on the various multi-media platforms you use such as Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, AOL, Skype, YouTube and Apple.
