I wonder if you know - "they're always listening!"

[Sparky Kronkite]

Yes - even though here in the States (as in some other countries) we have protectional laws that aid 'us' regular folks from having our privacy abated - 'they' - they big boys who really run the show - can listen or look into any one of us, at any time they want to.

How? How can any of our leaders stand in front of a podium and say "we aren't peeking and prying at our own people? Never."

It's easy - "they" (our leaders, our spys) don't - spy on us. Our friends do. And we do it for them too.

We spy on Brits - 'for' the Brits. And they do the same for us. We spy on Canadians - and they do the same for us. Brits and Canadians both 'spy on our US folks' on US soil. And we do the same for them.

Been that way for years and will be that way for a long time.

"They" can get around just about any human rights issue they want to. Which they do all the time.

A fact of our lives.

The US, Brits, Australians and Kiwis all share the intel from Echelon and all the other random crap the giant electronic Vacum cleaner that is the NSA(No Such Agency) suck up.

By the way I might get an internship with the NSA this summer so I would be one of them.

Better look behind you.

All of our allies spy on us, especially Isreal.

Now, our enemies, we sell the stuff too...

We should just auction off all our secrets (especially area 51, p_p_man's original home) and be done with it. Then the spies could all go home and have a beer or two or three....

Pssssttt.. my Uncle founded the NSA.

Pssssttt.. my Uncle founded the NSA.

So your Uncle was Harry Truman?

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Yes, Echelon and all that crap, but to be clear.

We ask Brits to listen in - spy - on US folks - specifically on a case by case basis - if required.

They do the same with us. Kanuks, Kiwi's - actually anyone who can 'get away with it' - skirt the laws of the country that the spying is being done in.

This intle I'm referring to - 'that intel' does not always make the Eschelon flow.

ZU-message only maybe. Or maybe not. It depends upon the op.

Big Brother is watching ...

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Yes Echelon is the term/word for "the free flow"

of shared intel among our brothers in Freedom around the world. There are 3 tiers of US security/clearence within Echelon - ZU is the top of the top - for the Presidents eyes only.

Op is short for operation.

When is the 'clog echelon' day? i think it was something like October 21st...

A big paragrpah of so-called "flagged" words went round that you could paste in the bottom of your emails to flag it and clog the system.

Anyone else remember or still participate in that?

Any terrorists stupid enough to say "agreed. we are bombing the white house at 3pm on whenever" in an e-mail is one dumb motherfucker

 

[rexfelis]

It makes you wonder... what can you and what can you not really believe?

In my experience, "they" will either be a hell of a lot less than what we think, or they'll be a hell of a lot further.

You'll fuck your security clearance if you keep posting shit like this. Shhhhhh.

 

[freescorfr]

Well, then, we all have a duty to make good fun posts because it will be a right boring job for the listeners otherwise.

I don't express a single point of view here that I'm not prepared to surrender under torture.

Hey, Sparky, how's the new job. God or mammon?

A large mammon burger with fries for Sparky, and two giant security clearances for sch00lteach.

 

[sch00lteacher]

I'm really not joking about Azwed taking a chance with his security clearance. The last thing the NSA wants is for people to know who goes in and out of their buildings.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the things they flag to look at is anything with NSA in it.

Hi guys, how ya doing. Keep up the good work. Good job with those terrorists guys. Maybe I should joke like that... what if my modem suddenly cut off and quit wor

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

This is all common......

old information.

It's everywhere.

No big deal.
