Spying: The Big Picture
If you’ve been too busy to keep up with the spying scandal, here’s an overview:
The government is spying on
virtually everything we do
The government’s mass spying
doesn’t
keep us safe
NSA spying did
not
prevent a terror attack on Wall Street
There is
no meaningful oversight
of the spying programs by either Congress or the courts
We can
keep everyone safe without violating the Constitution
… more cheaply and efficiently than the current system
The top counter-terrorism Czar under Clinton and Bush says that
revealing NSA spying programs does
not
harm national security
Whistleblowers on illegal spying have
no “legal” way to get the information out
A high-level intelligence source says
“we hack everyone everywhere”
Some people
make a lot of money
off of mass spying
Spying started
before 9/11
… and may have
stemmed from an emergency program only meant to be activated in the case of a nuclear war
Governments and big corporations are doing everything they can
to destroy anonymity
Mass spying
creates an easy mark for hackers
Polls show that the public
doesn’t believe the NSA
Surveillance can be used to
frame you if someone in government happens to take a dislike to you
An NSA whistleblower says that
the NSA is spying on – and blackmailing – top government officials and military officers
(and
see this
)
High-level US government officials have
warned for 40 years that mass surveillance would lead to tyranny in America
Government spying has
always focused on crushing dissent …
not
on keeping us safe
While the Obama administration is spying on everyone in the country – it is at the same time the
most secretive
administration
ever
(
background
). That’s despite Obama saying he’s running
the most
transparent
administration ever
Top constitutional experts say that Obama is
worse than Nixon
… and the
Stasi East Germans
