Read the post up-thread by GUEST, guest at 11 Jun 13 - 07:25 PM, then read my post that immediately follows.

When people such as Beardedbruce stop scaremongering and others get tired of running around like headless chickens, try THIS: Spend some time on, say, Amazon, and look for a particular product or book. Or visit a political thread. Or almost ANY web site where they are trying to sell you stuff (including ideas).

Then—Notice the ADS that start appearing on the usual spots here on Mudcat. Or the pop-up ads on just about any web site you visit.

Then—Pay attention to the unsolicited telephone calls you get where someone is trying to sell you something.

As pointed out, businesses and advertisers and political parties have been collecting information on your communication habits for a long time.

All this information is already out there, being gathered, and used to profile you, especially your interests and buying habits, and it is being used to try to sell you stuff.

The genii is out of the bottle and has been for a long time.

Don Firth

P. S. By the way, this is an international phenomenon. Some time back I browse a couple of web sites in the U.K., looking at a particular lute-like musical instrument, and then bought a couple of song books from another British web site.

I'm still getting e-mails from the web sites I visited, and pop-up ads now and then that obviously come from other places in the British Isles interested in selling me similar goods.

The NSA is not going to take any interest in me unless I start communicating with known or suspected terrorists.

And NO, I don't like the idea that people are gathering information about me--but unless I live in a cave and communicate with no one, there is nothing I can do to prevent it.

I'm not the desperate one, Mr. Firth. Skarpi had it pegged correctly when he talked about you watching for the men in black. Your paranoia has led you to support a surveillance police state. And what, exactly, do you think your "enemies" are so keen to take from you, anyway? Your freedoms? Is that why you're so willing to give up your freedoms, to protect your freedoms?

The USA doesn't have enough NSA or FBI agents anywhere to 'spy' on people in Iceland... much less 40-50 other countries

True enough - but the logic of that in the modern world is to set up the machines to do it, which ultimately involves giving them the job of making the decisions, and determining how deep to dig into the metadata. It's the logic underlying drones. It's the logic of the Terminator scenario.

I remember reading 1984 and thinking the image of Big Brother is watching was a powerful one, but of course it would never be possible to have a watching eye judging everything ordinary people did, because of the sheer scale of the operation, and the number of watchers who would be needed. How wrong I was.   

The degree of surveillance is not limited by the technology, but only by decisions made to refrain from doing things that can be done - and the built-in instinct of security agencies is always liable to be to go for more surveillance.

"if NSA is spying and they did watch us here in Iceland ..then we must be under the terrorist hat ? right ..."

No...wrong... that simply breaks the rules of logic as a coherent argument. There is an **equivocation** on the word "watch" in it ...to go along with the equivocation on "spying". "Watch" as a term that means different things in different contexts can't just be tossed into a discussion as if it proves something!

You MUST realize the sense of word describing what the NSA 'may' be collecting... metadata... which simply means data about phone numbers or email contacts (not their content)which 'may' come from or go to a suspected terrorist. Then....*IF* a series of suspicious calls or contacts is noted, there can be a *court order* obtained to monitor the content.
The USA doesn't have enough NSA or FBI agents anywhere to 'spy' on people in Iceland... much less 40-50 other countries. We are talking hundreds of millions of calls, emails..etc. They are looking for METADATA... which 'may' lead them to a reason to 'spy' on a dozen suspicious links.

Is that it, Mr. Firth? Do the men in black have you looking over your shoulder? Or is it men in black helicopters? You support drone bombing in Afghanistan, Yemen, Pakistan and so on, so you would support it in Iceland, yes? You would not "expect anything less of your government," yes? If Obomber sends a drone after Edward Snowden in Iceland, how many civilian deaths would be acceptable to you? As collateral damage, I mean. Is it OK to kill, say, fifty women and children to get Snowden? Twenty-five?

Skarpi, I doubt very seriously that NSA is doing much spying on Iceland. It is not exactly known as a hotbed of terrorism, whereas many areas of the Middle East most certainly are. And there is the possibility of domestic terrorism right there in the U. S., for example, the bombings at the Boston Marathon.

You are seriously overreacting to the idea that the NSA is interested in YOUR personal communications.

ANY country—and that includes Iceland—has the right, indeed, the obligation, to attempt to keep its citizens safe from terrorist attacks.

If Iceland felt itself in serious danger of being the target of terrorist attacks, would you expect anything less of your government?

"It's always interesting—and quite revealing—to know why certain people seem to be obsessed with a particular subject. Read enough of their stuff and the obsession becomes obvious. And it also becomes obvious how it warps their opinions."

Hmmm. Like the thread about the Woolwich incident? It took exactly four posts for it to become yet another "Those poor innocent law abiding Muslims! We sure hope none of this impacts them!" thread. Always the same people who drag it out forever. And then, after about the two thousandth post, one of the Muslim Defense League says, "This anti-Muslim rant has gone on long enough!" No way. Ya think? Bunch of obsessed crazies

Okay, so you do realize we are living in a world full of governments who do despicable things, right? That's why in a world where human rights abuses are rampant, the same obsessed group of anti-Semitic bastards go after Israel every chance they get. Those threads are about two thousand posts long as well.

Now, let's see. If I'm a little obsessed these days over the fact that most of our elected officials are wiping their asses with the Constitution, that's too goddamned bad isn't it?

Here's some more news about how the federal government is "defending" us:

JW Obtains Records Detailing Obama Administration's Warrantless Collection of Citizens' Personal Financial Data

June 27, 2013

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it has obtained records from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) revealing that the agency has spent millions of dollars for the warrantless collection and analysis of Americans' financial transactions. The documents also reveal that CFPB contractors may be required to share the information with "additional government entities."

•An "indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity" contract with Experian worth up to $8,426,650 to track daily consumer habits of select individuals without their awareness or consent.

•A stipulation that "The Contractor may be required to share credit card data collected from the Banks with additional government entities as directed by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR)."

http://www.judicialwatch.org./press-room/press-releases/jw-obtains-records-detailing-obama-administrations-warrantless-collectio

How much unconstitutional surveillance are you Obamaniacs going to tolerate?

Skarpi has a good point about the scope of the NSA's crimes. The orgization is called the NATIONAL Security Agency, so why is it spying overseas? He has a right to be outraged. What's surprising is that more people in the U.S. aren't outraged. Obama and the NSA are pissing on the Fourth Amendment.

And I set up a perfectly good thread for you to indulge your racist asides, Mr. Firth. Please use it. And please stop calling Obama black. He is mixed race. They taught that in your Obama Indoctrination class.

Obviously, Scarpi, Songwronger does not speak for me. His whole intention is to put the President in as bad a light as he can. And at the same time, to denigrate those (such as myself) who don't share his hatred for President Obama.

Mr. Snowden is NOT going to be killed in a "drone attack" in Iceland or anywhere else. And what Songwronger calls "drone murders" is the killing of enemy (terrorist) combatants in Afghanistan. There have been no such attacks in the United States, nor will there be in Iceland or any other country that is not conducting hostile attacks against the United States.

ANY country has the right take whatever actions it needs to, to protect itself and its citizens from military or terrorist attacks.

A whole day and no Obama supporter has given skarpi a cogent answer? Pitiful.

Is Obama going by international laws by spying on the world ??

No. He is violating international law. He is also violating the laws of the United States. He is a criminal. He has to be stopped. Americans try to stop his lawless behavior, but the courts refuse to hear the cases.

what right have NSA to spy on me or the Icelandic nation or UK or Norway ...? who asked USA to be a world wide police ?

The NSA does not have the right. Their actions violate our constitution and our laws. Americans try to stop the lawless behavior, but the courts won't hear the cases. And the bank called Goldman Sachs asked the USA to be the world police. That bank owns the world and needs an army, and the USA is it.

So who is going to take Obama to international court and the NSA ?

As I said, the courts in the US will not challenge Obama, so any challenges need to come from international courts. Good luck. Goldman Sachs owns most of them too.

Obama's cult following has lost touch with reality. They think good is bad and bad is good. Witness Don Firth. He's been completely brainwashed to support whatever the government does. He is a typical Obama supporter.

And if Obama kills Mr. Snowden with a drone attack in Iceland, Mr. Firth will support the action. He already supports drone murders in the Middle East, so why not in Iceland? Do you see the depth of the insanity we're trying to deal with in the US?

Skarpi, the NSA is not "spying on the world."

In order to prevent any further terrorist attacks such as the "9/11" attacks, when radical Muslim terrorists hijacked airliners and flew them into the World Trade Center buildings in New York, and into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense, in which two of the tallest buildings in the world were reduced to rubble, and over 3,000 people were killed, the NSA (National Security Agency) is monitoring communications throughout the world, particularly between known or suspected terrorists and terrorist organizations.

This program was begun before Barack Obama became President of the United States and it has been going on for some time. It has prevented a number of terrorist attacks in which many more thousands of people could have been killed.

People on this thread such as Songwronger, Beardedbruce, and Guest from Sanity hate President Obama and blame him for anything and everything they can think of. The reason for such hatred is open to speculation, but since Obama is a Liberal president and they seem to favor the Conservative view, naturally they object to anything he does—plus the fact that Obama is a black man, and some people, such as they, become very angry at the thought of a black man in a position of authority. (They will deny it, of course.)

Rest assured that NSA is NOT listening in on your private telephone conversations or reading your e-mail. If the records they do collect show that you are regularly communicating with known terrorists or terrorist groups, then yes, they would listen in—for good reasons.

And be aware that the United States is not the only country that is seeking to protect itself and its people from terrorist attacks, as they have every right to do.
