For all the emails and phone calls intercepted by the NSA etc it has been claimed NOT 1 terrorist plot has been stopped.

Also the potential for industrial espionage is beyond comprehension insofar as the have actually intercepted computers for certain clients before they received them and installed bugs.

Only a fool would trust anything computer or software related coming from America.

"only a fool would trust anything computer or software related coming from America"

And we are not fools?
We gaily accepted our leaders exhortations to fight in the "war against terrorism" even though it was a figment of their imagination and a beat up to draw us into their malignant war making to spread their influence over the world.
We have rolled over and accepted the draconian laws to supposedly keep us safe from terror since then.
There has been no terror act in Australia for many years and the cost of all this anti terror is obscene.
The amount spent on protecting woman against domestic violence is a joke even though hundreds of woman have been killed by men and no one knows how many have been injured or traumatized.
Will the saving of metadata do anything to secure them?

In order to understand what they are really up to with the metadata retention you need to have a look at the top secret info that Edward Snowden exposed. Saying that most likely starts up accusations that he is a traitor and anyone who points to that information is one also by association. I keep looking for evidence that he did great damage to western security but it seems more like empty assertions only. He seems to have been very careful in what he did.

This document:

http://www.look-up.org.uk/2013/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/full-spectrum-cyber-effects-final.pdf

gives an indication of what they have been up to and the metadata
retention obviously gives lots more info on who should be targeted for the 'real world effects' that they now spend 5% of their budget on. 'Destroy, Deny, Degrade, Disrupt, Deceive, Protect' it says.

I am not theorizing, as I have been often on the receiving end of all but Protect. They list Denial of Service - phones, emails, computers, faxes. I've had it all but faxes. For example - many emails going missing, had to give up on having a land-line there was so much interference, including physically cutting the line. I have four computers bought new that wont even turn on, etc etc etc. When you get this and much more daily you realize it is not just bad luck or incompetence it is - Covert Social Control -.

Wait until the Drones are policing the skys in every suburb.

What superb watchdogs they will be.

You blokes are only worried about all your sexting secrets
whereas I, female that I am, have absolutely no sexting or texting
secrets. There's a reason nude bloke magazines don't sell.

They can monitor my online stuff until the cows come home they
will find nothing of note.

However, the drone watchdogs will be an inevitable result of the
technology. Just security cameras in the sky really. (or not).

Big Brother will really be watching us then. Just think of all
the hanky panky and sexual sneaking around that will be seen
by the drones. The surveillance by governments of the people
is just getting started I feel.

Of COURSE the securocrats need increased resources and increased power to surveil and bully the public. Otherwise what would have been the point of governments importing an Islamic Fifth Column to maintain a threat from among those who hate secular democracy?

It’s all very disturbing.

Beware of Disqus which an online magazine uses for posting comments on articles. I had written a disparaging comment about Netanyahu and Disqus will not reset my login even though prompt states an email will be sent and they have no help/contact. Utterly useless. I see a Zionist/Chinese connection when I looked at the founders of Disqus. Think Communist/extreme Fascism planning our NEW WORLD ORDER. Think Rothschild banker and the Cabal.

All my technology is being hacked by them. Seriously, my mobile now vibrates after I saw a flash on it sent electricity like sensation up my arms. I know have a permanent problem with my thumb.

I have been doing extensive research on the NWO, therefore I am now having these problems with my computer and mobile. This is deadly serious. I have previously posted a lot of websites etc on what’s happening in our troubled world.

By the way, most of the Middle Eastern leaders are (false) Jews including the Saudi royals. Libya was previously a prosperous country, so they have intentionally destroyed it, killing Gadaffi. They want world domination and chaos and destruction of the West. Graham unfortunately thought I went too far on the Julian Assange article. So much for free speech which are losing more and more. They are Masters of Deception.

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." -- Louis Brandeis, Supreme Court justice from 1916--1939

"There is little value in ensuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment.” – John F. Kennedy
