The NSA and their British butt-monkeys, the GCHQ. the NSA has managed to gain control of the U.S. encryption standards process to ensure that they have the ability to read your shit.
So all the stuff that the banks tell you that your online banking is secure is a lie. The NSA can go and fuck with your shit any time they want.
All the assurances that your medical records are secure are lies, lies, and more lies. DasGov can go surfing around them any time they feel the urge.
On another note, the MTAHNS is now saying that they are open to the idea of new legislation to try to curb the NSA.
First off, I have zero confidence that the NSA would pay attention. Telling spies that they can listen to X but not Y is like telling a cat that she can claw up your chair, but not your sofa.
Second, it is worth repeating everywhere that none of this discussion, absolutely none of it, would be happening without Ed Snowden having blown his whistle. Much of it has been known for years, but not all of what he has revealed.
You can bet your last paycheck that our spooks would very much like to dump his carcass into an abandoned mineshaft. For he has pulled back the curtain on their rotten edifice of lies and backdoors into systems once thought secure.

MTAHNS?
The acronym, defined.
By the way, guys (maybe this is sexist, but I assume it's mostly guys) when you watch Internet porn, it's a fair bet some spook is watching you watch it.
So what? So when they want you to do something nasty, or dangerous, or iffy ("All you have to do for us is, when you're in Paris, is pick up the suitcase and drive it to Zurich" they can say, "That way, we won't have to tell your wife/boss/colleagues what you were watching last Saturday night while the wife was over at her mother's.")
Blackmail is an old espionage recruitment stunt. up there with, if not more powerful than, bribery and threats of physical harm. And then, do it just once and your theirs for life, or until they decide to throw you under a bus.
Happy watching, fellas!
Very crankily yours,
