The NSA Leaks


Happy Face

The US National Security Agency is considering offering an amnesty to fugitive intelligence contractor Edward Snowden if he agrees to stop leaking secret documents, an NSA official says.

 

The man in charge of assessing the leaks' damage, Richard Ledgett, said he could be open to an amnesty deal.

 

In an earlier interview with the Reuters news agency, Mr Ledgett said he was deeply worried about highly classified documents not yet public that are among the 1.7 million files Mr Snowden is believed to have accessed.

Sounds like we still don't know the half of it and they're running scared trying to contain it.

 

Was reading over the weekend that the NSA have spent months trying to piece together what Snowden has accessed in his time there, but they have failed miserably.....which gives you no sort of rosy feeling whatsoever about the claims they make about a system of checks being in place that would restrict anyone from abusing the access available to them.

There were also the previous reports of staff making queries into the personal data of women they wanted to stalk...

Really bad when THEY don't know what he's got

 

actually it suggests they are very good at hoovering up zillions of messages but they really have so few people they can't check more than about 0.0001% of them

A European parliament committee has invited Edward Snowden to testify via video link in its investigation of US surveillance practices.

The justice and civil liberties committee voted 36-2 with one abstention on Thursday to seek testimony from the former NSA contractor, who has exposed the reach of the US secret surveillance apparatus.

No date has been proposed and it was not immediately clear if Snowden would accept the invitation.

The investigation is aimed at drafting policy recommendations to better protect the privacy of European citizens and improve IT security in EU institutions.

Snowden has been granted temporary asylum in Moscow following his revelations, which have prompted a global debate over the limits of surveillance and the value of privacy.

CIA Boss: "I want to know everything this Limey, 'Happy Face' does, who he talks to, where he drinks, what forums does he go on and what website is his favourite."

 

CIA operative: "We didn't find Al Quada websites but there was a subscription to 'Stattos-R-us.com'.

 

CIA Boss: "Any other interesting facts on 'Toontastic'?"

 

CIA Operative: "There was a subscription to 'Chickswithdicks.com' but that was from a Scandinavian poster codenamed 'Aeris'. Unfortunately he seems to have gone to ground, Sir."

:lol:

 

For anyone else that wants to be surveiled, this new site is excellent...

 

https://firstlook.org/theintercept/

 

First Look will be doing lots of separate web magazines targeted at different areas, They've got Glenn Greenwald doing all his NSA reporting at that Intercept page which is also where Jeremy Scahill (Dirty Wars) will report.

 

They've signed up Matt Taibi to do another one concentrating on Financial skullduggery.

 

These have been my favourite reporters for years and they're all being head hunted by Pierre Omidyar (multi billionaire ebay founder) to create a news outlet worthy of the name without political affiliation....

I'd hate to see the size of the file the CIA have on Happy Face by now.

Anyone who quotes Salon and suchlike is flagged and then later found drinking warm gin and shedding a tear for the love of the leader...

This has played out perfectly.

 

The Double Life of Dianne Feinstein

 

Head of the intelligence committee that is supposed to oversee the NSA.

 

She failed to investigate the NSA with any aggression but has gone out of her way to be the NSA's most prominent defender. The day after Edward Snowden revealed himself as a whistleblower last June, she was among the first to brand him a traitor. In the face of revelation after revelation, she praised the professionalism of the NSA. She defended mass data collection as a necessity, arguing that the NSA had to have access to the whole "haystack" to find the one needle.

 

 

But it turns out she's been spied on too. :lol: so she's raging mad....

 

This week she accused the CIA of breaking into the committee's computers, a breach of the constitution, the executive branch tampering with the elected branch. She described it as "a defining moment for the oversight of our intelligence community".

 

It's a thing of beauty how perfectly it's illustrated the differences the elites see between their rights and those of citizens.

" The National Security Agency and FBI have covertly monitored the emails of prominent Muslim-Americans—including a political candidate and several civil rights activists, academics, and lawyers—under secretive procedures intended to target terrorists and foreign spies."
