Even the NSA has no idea what it is collecting, but it sends it to Israel anyways.

THE ISRAELIS ARE READING MY FACSIMILES?????

 

We need a federal law severely restricting what info our Government can give foreign nations.

 

They give everything to GCHQ in the UK too.

 

lol love it! All the liberals and their big government mentality are finally getting the scope of what our government can and will do.

 

No, it was when you were duped into believing there would be hope and change. When Bush was painted a warmongler and traitor and Obama would be our savior.
Yes, I already know your argument; What does this have to do with Obama? It has nothing to do with Obama and it has everything to do with Americans so divided on everything. Its a belief that both sides really think their party is better than the other. While 80% of the Americans are bickering and fighting over ignorance, our politicians on both sides are screwing everyone.

 

Anyway

 

So, anyone else want to point out that that isn't actually the real memorandum?

 

lol pwn3d

Northside?

 

I wonder if people in other countries are pissed the United States has basically all of their information.

 

hat tip to Fred Thompson's twitter..

 

Yep...you might want to stop sending anti-Semitic faxes.

 

So far, we know that the NSA:

-Pays telecommunications providers between $278,000,000-$394,000,000 each year to provide access to all US fiber and cellular networks. Link

-Put backdoors into critical software, and broke the crypto on private communications. Link

-"Persuaded" James Clapper to lie under oath, on camera, to Congress in order to hide the domestic spying programs. Link

-Allowed NSA employees to spy on love interests by having them on the "honor system" as regulation. All of which were given a pass for this FELONY. Link

-Lied to us only weeks ago by saying that said surveillance was never used for economic espionage. Link

-Made over 15,000 false certifications to FISA court to hide the fact that 90% of their searches were illegal. Link Link

-And now shown to have sent collected data on US Supreme Court Justices and elected officials to Israel. Link


What blows me away though... is that despite all this. What matters to the people in this forum is making liberals or conservatives eat crow. It's amazing how often logic and reason are abandoned during these "debates" in favor of "well that's on you for voting for (Insert Party/Coporate lackey here)."

But please, continue the cycle of "I have no need for personal accountability, and will ignore any mention of it, because I'm right and you're wrong." Self serving bull****.

 

Yeah, there's a link to a memorandum which details an agreement between the US and Israeli regarding intelligence sharing...except that the United States never signed this memorandum. Look at the bottom. There's an Israeli signature, but not an American one. Aka, this is a proposed memorandum by the Israelis, this is not the final draft.

 

Also, the document is somehow dated March 2009 according to the Guardian (there's no actual date on the document), but the rules were apparently tightened in July 2009 in response to a Justice Department review of the wire tapping program that revealed that the NSA was improperly acquiring large amounts of data from Americans in addition to other abuses. The Guardian states that the deal this document outlines was only reached in principle in March 2009 and they later report that the Justice Department submitted new procedures in July 2009, so there's a good chance this isn't the final draft.

This article is mostly speculation based on one sentence form a document with questionable relevance.
