Power, Money and Crushing Dissent Are Real Motives
The NSA not only spied on the
leaders of Germany, Brazil and Mexico,
but on at least 35 world
leaders.
The Guardian
reports:
One unnamed US official handed over 200 numbers, including
those of the 35 world leaders, none of whom is named. These were immediately
“tasked” for monitoring by the NSA.
That’s just one incident we know
about. The NSA also spies on the European Union,
the European
Parliament, the G20 summit
and other allies.
The NSA asked
government agencies to share their Rolodexes, so the NSA would have phone
numbers for top foreign political and military leaders.
A confidential government memo admits that
the spying didn’t help prevent terrorism:
The memo acknowledges that
eavesdropping on the numbers had produced “little reportable intelligence”.
Because the leaders of allies such
as Germany, Brazil, Mexico, the EU and G-20 have no ties to Al Qaeda
terrorists, the spying was obviously done for other purposes.
The NSA conducts widespread
industrial espionage on our allies. That has nothing to do with
terrorism, either.
Indeed, there is no evidence that mass surveillance has prevented a single
terrorist attack. On the contrary, top counter-terror experts say
that mass spying actually hurts U.S. counter-terror efforts
(more here and here).
If NSA spying were really focused on
terrorism, our allies and companies wouldn’t be
fighting back so hard against it.
And even the argument that 9/11
changed everything holds no water. Spying started before 9/11 … and various excuses have been used to spy on Americans over the
years. Even NSA’s industrial espionage has been going on
for many decades. And
the NSA was already spying on American Senators more than 40 years ago.
Governments who spy on their own
population always do it to crush dissent. (Why do you think that
the NSA is doing exactly the same thing which King George did to the American colonists … which led to the
Revolutionary War?)
Of course, if even half of
what a NSA whistleblower Russel Tice says – that the NSA is spying on – and blackmailing – top American
government officials and military officers (and see this) – then things
are really out of whack.

“We Ought to Come Up with a Way of Stopping It” SEE VIDEO
Things would sure be a lot easier
for NSA boss Keith Alexander if we had a dictatorship. Alexander said:
I think it’s wrong that that
newspaper reporters have all these documents, the 50,000—whatever they have and
are selling them and giving them out as if these—you know it just doesn’t make
sense.
We ought to come up with a way of
stopping it. I don’t know how to do that.
That’s more of the courts and the policymakers but, from my perspective, it’s
wrong to allow this to go on ….
There’s a little thing called the
“Constitution” … but Alexander doesn’t believe in it. http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2013/10/americans-have-lost-virtually-all-of-our-constitutional-rights.html
