The United States Will Hold Peace Talks with…the Taliban

June 18, 2013 at 12:04pm

I really get tired of all the stories that are based on unnamed sources who aren’t authorized to talk to the media. if you are going to get a real story why don’t you find the authorized source so you can properly quote them?

The Feds Asked Apple for Customer Data HOW Many Times This Year?

connect the dots… continued

but it isn’t necessary if all they want to do is search through the raw data for terrorists or other intelligence data, that is military or intelligence collection which now doesn’t require court action since it would never be used for legal proceedings and the telecoms have immunity from giving them access years ago.

The big social media companies are saying they aren’t giving access to their servers… that is probably true, but the nsa doesn’t need access to their servers, that is a red herring. the telephone companies say they only give meta data, that is probably true, they don’t save content of all the calls, no reason for them to do that… another red herring. but go back a couple years to this: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2011/12/31/fed-court-grants-legal-immunity-to-telecoms-in-wiretapping-case/

as I remember this was a result of a leak that the big telecoms gave direct access to their main internet routing points for the installation of taps on the raw internet backbone. this data stream was supposed to only monitor data between the US and overseas points, but would of course also contain most of the domestic traffic. This is the key, access to this backbone data gives the nsa or any other government agency access to all those things that snowden says they can do, and in real time. with their own facility storing the raw data stream they would be able to access content of emails, web access, Skype, and any other voip telephone traffic(which today is just about all of them)… the only thing the phone number meta data would give is a way to narrow down the data, and a legal way to prosecute. the same with court orders to get user data from social network sites, that gives the legal people their court approved access for prosecution…
