    The beauty of the Internet.

    Personally I gave up waiting for the great utopian democracy that is supposed to come from Internet activism.

    Sorry didn't mean to get off topic, but how do we know the NSA and politicians are spying on us, this would be part of the NSA SCANDAL.

    Do you think it might be a good idea to edit your post so you make some sense, and your point is better made?

    You can't delete the entire post - but you can certainly edit it. If you can't then you are doing something wrong. Maybe start again, and pretend that last post never happened.

    There are cameras all over my city. I don't know what purpose they serve, or why they are "necessary." I don't like them. I'm not comfortable with the idea of being watched when I'm not doing anything wrong, and I don't believe that they will enhance the security of my community any. People who are going to do wrong are going to do wrong, regardless of whether or not they are being watched.

    EU enraged as Snowden reveals evidence of mass hacking by US
    By Paul McGeough July 1, 2013, 6:40 a.m.


    Washington’s efforts to contain fallout from the Snowden espionage debacle unravelled dramatically on Sunday as the European Union and individual European governments nations were revealed as targets of industrial-scale American snooping into government and private communications around the globe.



    Suggesting that the leaker, former contract intelligence worker Edward Snowden, has put in place an elaborate country-by-country plan of leaks to cause maximum diplomatic embarrassment for the US, the German magazine Der Spiegel published the first in what is says is a series of reports, causing near-apoplexy in the capitals of the continent.

    According to the Der Spiegel reports, The US National Security Agency has bugged the EU offices in Washington and its mission to the United Nations in New York and has hacked into the EU’s computer network, directing a flood of EU correspondence, documentation and high-level meeting conversations to analysts in the US.

    Also revealed is a huge eavesdropping operation in Brussels, seemingly conducted from a building at the headquarters of NATO, of which 20 or more European countries are members, against on the telecommunications system at the EU headquarters in the same city. According to the reports, every EU member state has rooms at the building, with telephone and internet connections, which are used by EU ministers.

    Singled out for the greatest US attention, in what appeared to be an operation that goes beyond that focused on the EU, is Germany with as many as 500 million communications, by phone and internet, being monitored each month, according to the documents.

    “We can attack the signals of most foreign and third-class partners, and we do it too,” the German magazine quotes from one of the NSA documents.

    The first target of European anger at the revelations could be ambitious negotiations for a trans-Atlantic trade pact worth hundreds of billions of dollars. The first substantive talks on the deal are scheduled to get underway this week.

    But amid angry comparisons of US spying with the work of the hated Stasi in post-WWII East Germany and claims that Washington has reverted to the worst conduct of the Cold War, there were calls for the talks to be postponed, pending Washington explaining itself.

    A taste of the reactions across Europe – German Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger: “If the media reports are correct, then it is reminiscent of methods used by enemies during the Cold War. It defies belief that our friends in the US see the Europeans as enemies.”

    French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius: “These acts, if confirmed, would be completely unacceptable.”

    President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz: “If it’s true, it’s a huge scandal. That would mean a huge burden for relations between the EU and the US. We now demand comprehensive information.”

    Elmar Brok, chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the European Parliament: “The spying has reached dimensions that I didn’t think were possible in a democratic country. Such behavior among allies is intolerable. They have completely lost balance – George Orwell is nothing by comparison.”

    Luxembourg’s Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn: “The US should monitor their own secret services rather than their allies. The US justifies everything as being part of the fight against terrorism – but the EU and its diplomats are not terrorists.”

    Calling for US Secretary of State John Kerry, now in the Middle East, to divert to Europe on his home-bound journey to explain matters, Dutch liberal MP Marietje Schaake was quoted: “The US can only lead by example, and should uphold the freedoms it claims to protect against attacks from the outside. Instead, we see erosions of freedoms, checks and balances, from within.

    But if Washington was being hammered for the latest revelations, it does appear to be making headway in its efforts to dissuade other countries, particularly Ecuador, from giving sanctuary to the leaker Snowden.

    Snowden now appears to be at the mercy of the Russian government. His original plan in fleeing Hong Kong to stay ahead of American efforts to haul him back to a US court on espionage charges, was to transit Moscow, en route to Ecuador via Cuba.

    But after thumbing their nose at Washington, Ecuadorean officials on Sunday sounded more sympathetic, with president Rafael Correa explaining, after what he described as a "friendly and very cordial" phone conversation with US Vice President Joe Biden, that emergency travel documents provided to Snowden had been issued in "serious error" by a London-based Ecuadorian diplomat.

    Combined with Washington’s cancellation of his passport, Snowden seemingly is dependent on the Russians, holed up as he is in the transit area at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo International Airport.

    In an interview on Sunday, the Ecuadorean president implied that the critical decision on Snowden was not his. He told Associated Press: “This is a decision of Russian authorities. He doesn’t have a passport. I don’t know the Russian laws, I don’t know if he can leave the airport, but I understand that he can’t.

    In a massive departure in what previously sounded like taunting the US over Snowden, Correa added: “If he really could have broken North American laws, I’m very respectful of other countries and their laws, and I believe that someone who breaks the law must assume his responsibilities.”
