MUSCULAR Project

GOOGLE-CLOUD-EXPLOITATION1383148810

Above image is the actual diagram, though simple, of the MUSCULAR project.  Including the sarcastic smiley face.  This project is a partnership between the NSA and the UK’s GCHQ that infiltrates the communication between Google’s and Yahoo’s data centers across the world.  Visit the following link from The Washington Post for all the details, it is pretty compelling.

The good news is that these companies that we rely on everyday are starting to question Congress as well as trying to find ways to encrypt the data stream so that the NSA will not be able to parse through all the communications coming and going from their data centers.

Finally Getting Some Attention

Finally, the NSA and the President are having to answer questions regarding the USA spying operations. And finally, this was headline news on at least one of the nationial media outlets this morning.  What frustrates me is that it wasn’t the USA’s citizens that caused the NSA and the President to answer for their unconstitutional spy, but foreign leaders.  I am sure they are fed up with the USA snooping around in all their emails and their phone calls.  Please visit the link below for more information:

“The latest report, published Monday in the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, said that the National Security Agency had collected information on 60 million calls in that country last December.”

Standing Together, Patriot Act 12th Anniversary

It boggles my mind that this type of information is not headlines news with our local and national media outlets.  Please take the time to read this link from the ACLU:

On October 26, there was a rally in DC organized by the StopWatching.US coalition.  This marked the 12th anniversary of the signing of the Patriot Act into law.  As with anything regarding the government, this law was put into place with good (we would hope) intentions, but look at it now?  Being exploited and abused so that our government can watch everything we do even if it is not related to terrorist activities.

Here is a quote from Snowden that is an excerpt from the above link:

“In the last four months, we’ve learned a lot about our government.

We’ve learned that the U.S. intelligence community secretly built a system of pervasive surveillance. Today, no telephone in America makes a call without leaving a record with the NSA. Today, no internet transaction enters or leaves America without passing through the NSA’s hands. Our representatives in Congress tell us this is not surveillance. They’re wrong.

Now it’s time for the government to learn from us. On Saturday, the ACLU, EFF, and the rest of the StopWatching.Us coalition are going to D.C. Join us in sending the message: Stop Watching Us.”

Lets keep the momentum going!!  Spread the word!  We can make a change at the next Presidential election.

Distractions

Please don’t let the government shutdown circus distract you from the fact that the PRISM program is still going strong.  I assure you, that program is still be funded and running as planned.

I guess my point is, with all the distracting news happening, it is easy to forget what really matters.  We still have three years until the next election.  We must make sure that the candidates, Republican, Democratic or independent, address the need to strengthen our Constitutional Forth Amendment, by putting safe guards on the NSA and the PRISM program.  Stop the unreasonable searches and seizures of innocent Americans.

Just my thought of today –

Thank you Edward Snowden

Thank you Edward Snowden. Believe it or not, he performed a huge service for each and every one of us.

What he has done is open the table to allow the discussion of government surveillance on a scale that has never been seen before.  Which is good, because as the next presidential election year approaches, we will have an opportunity to make the change to this unconstitutional data dragnet.

I also want to thank the media outlets, mostly outside of the United States, for not being afraid to release the information that Edward has provided.  It is very interesting, that here in the States, the only time I see these releases (“Leaks”, as the US national media has coined it) become major headlines is on the weekends.  Which is interesting as I feel that this is done purposely.  They know less viewers are checking up on the news on the weekends.  Less exposure.

I don’t understand why this isn’t headline news!  I was floored when I first heard about this.  Am I the only one?

Be on the look out for links pointing to more specific information regarding the releases made my Edward.

Who Am I?

Hello, my name is Alex.

Welcome to BeatNSA2016.com and please excuse the mess as this site is a work in progress.  As time goes on, it will be cleaned up.  I am so passionate about providing a one stop shop of all the new revelations of the NSA, I wanted to publish posts before finishing the sites.

I am just a normal guy from the Raleigh/Durham area.  I have no political affiliations but have voted for both of the major parties in the past and I am writing this as I watch college football.

Please visit this site often and let your friends know about it.  This is a very specific themed website and you are here for a reason.  I am excited to update it and hearing back from everyone.

Thank you!

Reason For The Blog

I created this site to help expose awareness to how the United State government is tracking you whether you are on the internet, have your cell phone in your pocket, traveling in your vehicle, and among other unknown avenues.  Not only are you being tracked, it is all being recorded for archival retrieval, but being searched in relatively real-time for certain keywords.   All this violates our Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution).

In further posts, I will add reference links, how it was obtained, and what we can do about it to help regulate these illegal searches.

Please feel free to add your comments, everyone’s opinions are unique and can help add interpretations and prospective to this very important topic.

Thank you!
