That's right. The nsa's 'job' is not legitimate. AND, more important, it is a scam. Do you seriously believe that if there were any real terrorists out there, they would plan their actions using gmail accounts, or even the pentagon's fake anonimity network aka Tor? Do you actually believe these alleged 'terrorists' could be THAT stupid? The US government spies on ordinary cattle, aka subjects, not on terrorists. Also, they probably spy on 'foreign' businesses and so serve the interests of american fascist 'free market' firms. > > on the contrary, while both Snowden and Greenwald, if read carefully, > agree with you (at least mostly), virtually everyone who comments on > the Snowden materials, including some very prominent journalists & > bloggers, hackers & activists & technologists, and many others, > strike me as absolutely denying that there is any legitimate case for > not leaving blind spots. i suspect many on this list deny it too, > though I wouldn't pretend to speak for them. > > i wish what you said were true, but I see much evidence to the > contrary: in fact, I sometimes think that this is the point. > > > > Did no one notice trillions are being drained from the US economy > > into some unidentified military project for the last decade or > > more??? > > > > It would seem to indicate that there is a Manhatten-style project > > underway. > > > > do you have any links or additional info about this? beyond the > > vague > sense of large black budgets, I'm not sure exactly what you might be > referring to. -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
