Decline of the United States - Public Disclosures
Posted: Sun Jun 30, 2013 12:50 pm
Since World War II the United States has been collecting virtually every electronic communications in every country in the world.
The NSA was the agency task with collecting this foreign electronic data. Such data includes telegraphs, telegrams, teletype machines, telephone calls, radio transmission all of which existed even before World War II. The internet and cell phones came along later, but they were just one more form of electronic data collection.
Beginning in the 1990s and accelerating after 911, the NSA was turned loose to collect information on the American Citizens in the same "grab everything and sort it out later" method.
The "Meta Data" the we are hearing about recently is the additional intelligence data "needed to sort it out later".
As the articles below indicate, the countries of the world ( including average citizens of those countries ) are, thanks to the traitor Snowden, waking up to what the United States has been doing, and how it has been doing it, since World War II.
This case is similar to the betrayal by the father and son traitors in the U.S. Navy in the 1970s ( if I recall the time frame correctly ) who made the Soviet Union aware that the United States could hear the propellers on their submarines from hundreds ( often thousands ) of miles away. Once they knew someone was able to listen, the Soviets fixed the problem on their newer submarines. Before the actions of the Navy traitors the Soviet Union did not have a clue anyone was able to hear such things.
This case is much larger, it has made every country in the world aware what the U.S. has been doing since World War II, and key potential enemy countries, such as China and Russia have also learned the sources and methods information Snowden is aware of.
The U.S. military enjoyed a tremendous advantage in any military action from this foreign intelligence.
As the articles below indicate, the collection of this intelligence is no longer secret.
