Re: Spy Agency Mined Vast Data Trove

["GroundZero Security" <fd () g-0 org>]

the usa still controls the internet and they dont give a fuck if we
feel that our privacy is invaded since we are all foreign countries to them
and anything outside the usa should be sniffed as they could be potential terrorists.
remember only usa is the "free world" lol (in their opinion)
they want total control and noone can do anything against their actions.

even nato is powerless against usa thats why noone ever says something if they
fuck up. the us. gov  knows that exactly. they dont have to execuse themselfs for things
not even to their own people. if they are forced to give out information they lie their way out.
manipulation is something the us gov is specialized in.

with google earth you can even find a nsa echelon base in germany. i wonder what its doing there.
i bet they use it to sniff our country aswell and our neighboors, since its not there for the fun of it.
what if my country would start to spy on usa isp's ? that could cause serious political problems,
but of course for usa everything is ok, as we have seen in the past.

oh and for your law question, usa doesnt care about international laws. if you have problems you
will have to ask a us. court and i doubt that will help you much complaining about some agency
especially when you are from some foreign country.
