What is Google’s Relationship with the NSA ? (National Security Agency)
DC Court Says NSA Doesn’t Have to Divulge Info on Secret Relationship with Google
Too Big to Control ... Is Google Working for Big Brother?
Let me preface this article by saying I am not a conspiracy nut, I don’t
believe aliens are being kept in a bunker somewhere, and I don’t believe big
brother is out to get me. With that said, I recently came across a
bit of news from Forbes that was both baffling, and a little
nefarious: a recent ruling in an appeals court in the D.C. Circuit has decided
that the NSA (National Security Agency) is not required to confirm or deny
whether they have an ongoing relationship with the search giant, Google. This
ruling was in response to a Freedom of Information Act inquiry that was filed
by the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), the decision for further
investigation being overturned under the clause that it may further endanger
the efforts of the NSA of protecting the security and interests of the country.
NSA's intelligence gathering WAS limited to foreign communications, although domestic incidents such as the NSA warrantless surveillance controversy have occurred. As of 2001 and the passing of the US Patriot Act all communication by US citizens are monitored especially on US soil. Incoming communications from abroad arrive at a terminal off the California coast and are routed to the 7th floor of the AT&T building in San Francisco. There a mirror copy of everything is routed to the 6th floor for NSA, CIA, FBI. The NSA/CSS is the only agency with enough cryptanalysis and CNO (computer network operation) to put it all this data into context and perspective. And Google has been on board from its inception... why do you think the Chinese are waging war on Google ... because Google offers free speech? No ... it's the greatest spy bot ever built and the Chinese, Cuba, Libya, North Korea, Somali, Uzbekistan Governments know this and their not having it! Between Facebook, Twitter, your updates, photos, Google +, your cell phone text and emails the next question is what don't they know... just saying!
"According to the court documents, “If NSA disclosed
whether there are (or are not) records of a partnership or communications
between Google and NSA regarding Google’s security, that disclosure might
reveal whether NSA investigated the threat, deemed the threat a concern to the
security of U.S. Government information systems, or took any measures in
response to the threat. As such, any information pertaining to the relationship between
Google and NSA would reveal protected information about NSA’s implementation of
its Information Assurance mission.” ARTICLE

"Yet again, it would appear the American public is not at
liberty to get a definite answer to this question. Late last week US federal
judge Richard
J. Leon of Washington D.C. used the controversial “Glomar
response” to rule that the US National Security Agency (NSA) should not be required to reveal or disclose its partnership with
Google Inc. amid a significant mounting of credible reports that the two
organizations are working closely together. The request to disclose this information under the
freedom of information act was brought forward by EPIC (Electronic Privacy
Information Center) which is a public interest research center based in
Washington D.C. established to focus public attention on emerging civil
liberties issues and to protect privacy, the First Amendment, and
constitutional values. The reason EPIC made the FOIA request was because they
were rightfully worried that such an agreement “could reveal that the NSA is
developing technical standards that would enable greater surveillance of
Internet users” including US citizens.
While the rumors of Google being in bed with the NSA have
logically been around for quite some time now, it was really only truly brought
plain into light early last year in January 2010 when Google’s was seamlessly hacked by alleged Chinese backed government operatives,
private security experts and so called Internet outlaws who had a bone to pick
with the Google." ARTICLE FROM Operation Reality
The official title of the USA PATRIOT Act is "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001." To view this law in its entirety, click on the USA PATRIOT Act link below.
USA PATRIOT Act
The purpose of the USA PATRIOT Act is to deter and punish terrorist acts in the United States and around the world, to enhance law enforcement investigatory tools, and other purposes, some of which include:
- To strengthen U.S. measures to prevent, detect and prosecute international money laundering and financing of terrorism;
- To subject to special scrutiny foreign jurisdictions, foreign financial institutions, and classes of international transactions or types of accounts that are susceptible to criminal abuse;
- To require all appropriate elements of the financial services industry to report potential money laundering;
- To strengthen measures to prevent use of the U.S. financial system for personal gain by corrupt foreign officials and facilitate repatriation of stolen assets to the citizens of countries to whom such assets belong.
Section 311: Special Measures for Jurisdictions, Financial Institutions, or International Transactions of Primary Money Laundering Concern
This Section allows for identifying customers using correspondent accounts, including obtaining information comparable to information obtained on domestic customers and prohibiting or imposing conditions on the opening or maintaining in the U.S. of correspondent or payable-through accounts for a foreign banking institution.
California Penal Code
422 PC defines the crime of "criminal threats" (formerly known as
terrorist threats). A "criminal threat" is when you threaten to
kill or physically harm someone and Criminal threats can be charged whether or not
you have the ability to carry out the threat...and even if you don't actually
intend to execute the threat.2
1.
that person is thereby placed in a
state of reasonably sustained fear for his/her safety or for the safety of
his/her immediate family,
2.
the threat is specific and
unequivocal and
3.
you communicate the threat verbally,
in writing, or via an electronically transmitted device.1
Criminal threats can be
charged whether or not you have the ability to carry out the threat...and even
if you don't actually intend to execute the threat.2
So basically if you are labeled a "terrorist" by a government officer that is employed at an agency, they now have the legal means and right to monitor everything you say, do, and every where you go. At this point there is no reasonable exception of privacy required of law enforcement ... and getting label a "terrorist" is easy enough.
I believe that's called "Open Season" on anyone.
