NSA surveillance on the increase
After Americans learned last year that the National Security Agency was recording all of their phone calls and reading their emails, a great uproar was heard from both conservatives and liberals.
As a result, the Obama Administration pledged greater transparency in its surveillance activities. They didn’t pledge to quit wasting taxpayers’ dollars with their non-stop spying, of course, but they did promise to reveal more of their findings.
In what looks like their first step, they’ve announced that the number of Americans whose phone records were searched under the NSA’s phone data surveillance program increased by 50 percent in 2013, according to a report by the Director of National Intelligence. But as a Fox News story pointed out, this report raises more questions than it answers.
For example, how many Americans got swept up in the process of investigating the phone calls of foreign intelligence targets? And what was done with the phone records of millions of Americans who have never been charged or even suspected of any illegal activities?
What is being done with the emails that we send back and forth to each other? Are they being read? Are they being saved to read later if necessary? Is the NSA really focusing on terrorists and potential terrorists, or is the agency too busy amassing billions of bits of information on every American citizen so that they can eventually use it if they think it’s necessary?
Why do you think the Obama Administration promised greater transparency? Do you think they are sincere about wanting to keep Americans informed, or do you think they were just stalling for time while they continued their assault on our privacy?
Do you also think it ironic that our gov’t spends billions listening to conversations, tracking emails and invading all our privacy to glean any potential threat info’ while at the same time our borders are wide open with thousands of totally unknown individuals swarming across???
this is the most lying and none transparent administration ever and even more lies and coverups periodd and the head of the NSA and his people should be charged with crimes and those that gave the orders too period
This is interesting. The USA has a prophecy program. This program has around 2000 or more people working for it. It collects information. Yeah, your conversations on the phone and E-mails and radios. etc. They do this to learn where the threats to American soil are . This helps the pentagon to zero in on possible terrorists and any action against the government. Don’t think the Government is stupid. You need to fear the Government. They will make you into a criminal and a terrorist and anything they want. Just try doing anything no matter how justified you are. I would not want to see any of you on TV just to prove a point. Look at all those Cops killing some what innocent people. There is vigils and big crowds blocking streets and so forth. What happens???????? Nothing police go in and arrest who they can. They shoot pepper spray into people like you in the eyes. Haa Haa. What did it get them?? You try anything. They will take your guns, your house, your money, your family, and strip you down to nothing. finally once you get the point they will disappear you, your records will be changed into a terrorist and you will be gone. Sounds drastic huh? Just try it and see. People always say. ” If they knew the terrorist was in the Boston Marathon why dident they stop him?” That’s it right there. You just answered the question to why the Government listens in on our conversations. People are their worst enemy. The Prophesy group does just that. in order to try to keep us safe. Please be safe. The solar Panels are great but only if you are going to live off grid. If you get them from one of those company’s that offer great deals on solar panel installs. Your only changing one joker for another. What I mean by that is your going to switch paying the power company to pay the new competitor. If you buy your own, It will cost you $13000.00. For a 5 KW power That is the best idea, but if your an older person like me. The return is a minimum of 10 years. Think of everything that goes around you and be watch full I don’t want to see anybody in a bind due to self righteous thinking. :)

We all know that the National Security Agency is recording our phone calls and reading our emails. Every one should drop some hateful words in their conversations and emails every once in a while to keep things interesting. The only transparency Obama’s Administration has is their lack of having souls. Screw the NSA’s phone data surveillance program, the Director of National Intelligence and Fox News! Millions of Americans are suspected of illegal activities simply for doing what I just did…Not fearing them! The NSA really are the terrorists who are accumulating information on every American citizen so that they can eventually use it to disarm citizens and label them terrorists. Then they can do what ever they want to you. The Obama Administration will continue their assault on our privacy, our freedom and our lively hoods. Our Nation is out of control and our National pride blinds us to the truth of what our leaders are truly doing.

My comments are awaiting modreation. I thought
they were moderate. I am NOT advocating violence
or the overthrow of anything except stupidity and
ignorance.
Washington is mostly hog-wash, manure,excrement,
etc. etc., etc.
I think that the Patriots are a NFL football team!
After the Asian wars and the resulting disgust with
Washington, It is not a supprise that so many have
lost faith in Washington.
Since they collect every conversation from phone and email that means that when you contact your bank they will have your account #, SSN, passcodes and all. Therefore they have access to everyones bank accounts so who is to say THey are not stealing your cash as you sleep?
I am tired. I have prepared–built a five acre livable place and am ready for the . . . what? Is this great event ever going to happen? When, how, why? Will I die fully prepared for what never came to cause my need to live?
How does one wait for the unknown?
They have, amongst so many various pieces of modern technology, they can find you anywhere. Just look up Lidar on youtube or in your search bar. That is why they are now capabale of finding many Great Pyramids in Peru and other places they never knew existed.

If Americans were smart they would band together and set up a spy network of their own, using hackers and whatever is necessary to spy on the NSA.
Just a thought? What if ALL the so-called survivalist and patriotic websites like this one who seem to be asking the right questions are really ALSO fronts for the NSA and the new admin in Washington who want to track anyone and everyone with comments which are in ANY WAY oppositiononal to their “control-all” agenda. This probably not the case but PAtriot Headquarters could also be another filter for the straw of those that spy on actual “true patriots”. Again, probably not, but, what better, sneakier way than to get all those trusting dissidents to tell-all in comments sections like this while signing up with their name and e-mail addresses which give a direct line to your thoughts, given straight to the “thought police”? Food for thought huh?
Point of Fact: saying “probably not” does not negate the public and personal insult. I don’t work for the “thought police” and don’t appreciate the insinuation.
You maybe closer to the truth then you think, the Government helps them ( Money ) while they help the Government ( Information ) …
Unless ALL the people band together nothing is going to happen , and half of the people work for the Government – so herein lays our problem..
What happened to Ross Patrol , He would have took a cut in pay and power to be our next President – with the changes he was going to make – ” THEY ” saw to it that he dropped out .. It wasn’t his life that was on the line but those of Family and Friends ..
Our Government makes up the rules as they go along and changes them if and when they see fit – they OWN half and keep the other half Lied too ..
The comments about twitter and emails is so true, but don’t forget credit and debit cards which record where you spent your money , how much you spent and what you bought-be a can of green beans or a shot gun. Your money trail is T-bone steak to them,
Anger management course? What a joke, anyone can study to answer questions based on what someone else wants to hear. But I think the real secret to getting our lives back to reality, will come when getting control of the jobs we vote PEOPLE in office, to achieve. It’s call Job requirements and how well did this person do their job. If they did NOT meet their commitments they are demoted or fired. No in between, no special privilages, in fact should be harder to get these jobs, not based on how well you talk in a crowd, or how nice a dresser you are, or how poised you are but do you actually meet your job commitments, ALL of your commitments.
Those voting need to remember these people running for a job title are NOT movies stars; are not special and are not better than those they serve. Like you, if they do not meet their job requirements, they should be demoted or fired. Like you their benefits should be the same as the AVERAGE middle class person and like you, when they are out of the job, they are NOT paid. Make them the same as the average American and you’ll soon see how the laws become fair and balanced. If you the voter make someone above you, how to you plan on making sure they do their job correctly?
This is NOT a dream, it can happen if we all decide that it is what “WE THE PEOPLE WANT”. Why is it that ONLY rich people get to run for office? Who made up those laws? You the voter need to really pay attention to how much of your ownership you hand off to others. Own you own vote and help others own their vote as well, by educating those who need it.
Thanks for reading,

If the NSA is listening to my phonecalls, they are wasting their time and the Government’s money.
You woke up this morning somewhere in America. You have been compromised.
This is extremely sad. We live in America and not Nazi Germany so NSA should realize this and start obtaining information that protects and serves Americans. The sad fact is that NSA is another incompetent government agency that violates our constitutional rights and waste tax payer dollars. The Obama administration is by far the worst administration that I have experienced in over 50 years. Hopefully when 2016 comes Americans wake up and elect someone that for a change does some good for the people. There is only one problem with the potential choices no one is worth voting for they do not care about the average American and since Reagan the United States is declining at an alarming rate.
Please keep up the great job your web site is doing. Americans need to know the facts that are occurring and get involved to make our country better for future generations.
The NSA copies and reads our emails, but Lois Lehrner’s and all the IRS emails are gone forever?
That would be hilarious if it were actually a joke and not reality.
This isn’t very informative. If you talk on a phone, mobile, landline or over-IP, you should assume it is being monitored because it is! If you send emails, post on twitter or Facebook, or any social space, assume it will be stored far past its expiration date, and if this surprises you, read the constitution, because those in power do, but they IGNORE it, and the rights to privacy were trampled on by the RICO act in 1970 and every subsequent administration since then has expanded its scope. They didn’t need the badly named Patriot act to spy on us illegally, they’ve been doing it quite well since the 1970’s at least…
