A
guide to NSA's domestic spying through the years
Infrequently
asked questions
How many
politicians, including presidents, have been blackmailed by NSA,
CIA or the FBI. How would we know? Just wondering.
Community courts work
NSA spied on foreign officials
at G20 summit
NSA head not only wants to right
to ingore the law, but lawsuits as well
Why
the FISA Court is a scam
NSA told Congress it doesn't need
court authorization to listen to your phone calls
Your loss of constitutional rights thanks to NSA is a huge pork
barrel for private industry
Al
Gore on NSA spying: This in my view violates the constitution..
. . It is not acceptable to have a secret interpretation of a
law that goes far beyond any reasonable reading of either the
law or the constitution and then classify as top secret what
the actual law is.
William Binney, a former NSA
official who claims to have designed the prototype of the program
that allows the NSA to sweep up almost infinite amounts of information,
told the New Yorker’s Jane Mayer in 2011 that he regretted
his input. “I should apologize to the American people,”
he said. “It’s violated everyone’s rights. It
can be used to eavesdrop on the whole world.”
Nancy Gertner - As a former
Article III judge, I can tell you that your faith in the FISA
Court is dramatically misplaced. Two reasons: One … The
Fourth Amendment frameworks have been substantially diluted in
the ordinary police case. One can only imagine what the dilution
is in a national security setting. Two, the people who make it
on the FISA court, who are appointed to the FISA court, are not
judges like me. Enough said.

The FISA court fraud
In its total 34 year history
the FISA court has rejected a grand total of 11 government applications,
while approving more than 20,000.
- Supreme Court hides state and
local public records to out of staters
-
- Young people do care about their
privacy
-
- Bloomberg says Constitution will
have to change because of Boston
-
- IRS backs off warrantless searches
of emails
-
- Before the Freedom
of Information Act,
I used to say at meetings, ‘The illegal we do immediately;
the unconstitutional takes a little longer.’ [laughter]
But since the Freedom of Information Act, I’m afraid to
say things like that.” - Henry Kissinger in Wikileaks
