The internet is the next warfront. The DoD knows that.

General Alexander, the head of the Cyber Command, says we must be there first. He wants the DoD to dominate cyber space.

Yeah..the military is in charge now and doing whatever the hell they want.
We create and unleash Stuxnet and they cry when retaliations are made against US computer systems.

Limbaugh, O'Reilly and Fox News in general were obsessed with discrediting Tice back when .

Most who frequent this forum know for sure that life was perfect until the moment Obama was elected.

Speculation is not fact. Maybe the U.S. did. Maybe not.

In any event, the military has been doing what it wants, since forever.

“Be lawyered up to the max and find a place where it’s going to be that much more difficult for the United States to make arrangements for his return,” said Drake in a recent interview with Reuters defense correspondent Andrea Shalal-Esa.

Spying on foreign politicians at 2009 G-20 London Summit

As revealed by Edward Snowden in The Guardian, the GCHQ have been spying on foreign politicians visiting the 2009 G-20 London Summit by eavesdropping phonecalls, emails and monitoring their computers, in some cases even ongoing after the summit via keyloggers that had been installed during the summit.[33] Some of the gained informations have been passed on to British politicians.
2013 Tempora data collection

Main article: Tempora
Documents leaked by former CIA worker Edward Snowden in 2013 suggest that the UK data-gathering centre GCHQ operates a clandestine security electronic surveillance program named "Tempora" and has had access to the US internet monitoring programme PRISM since at least June 2010. PRISM is said to give the National Security Agency and FBI easy access to the systems of nine of the world's top internet companies, including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo and Skype.

By May 2012 300 GCHQ analysts and 250 NSA analysts had been assigned to sift through the flood of data.[3] About 850,000 people have security clearance to access the data.

The government has done a wonderful job of making snowden, the evil man. Fear gets things done. No one knew this better than the bush administration and Obama and this congress are a continuation of that game plan to make government larger, while diminishing freedom and individual liberty. Tell the American people that the spying is needed to keep them safe. Make the man who brought up the violation of the 4th amendment and gave up everything to show the people the evil of their government, out to be a traitor.

The government has found something to get much better control of the people...fear.
