NSA cryptanalyst: We, too, are Americans Summary: ZDNet Exclusive: An NSA mathematician shares his from-the-trenches view of the agency's surveillance activities. "An NSA mathematician, seeking to help shape the ongoing debate about the agency's foreign surveillance activities, has contributed this column to ZDNet Government. The author, Roger Barkan, also appeared in last year's National Geographic Channel special about the National Security Agency. "The rest of this article contains Roger's words only, edited simply for formatting. "Many voices -- from those in the White House to others at my local coffee shop -- have weighed in on NSA's surveillance programs, which have recently been disclosed by the media. "As someone deep in the trenches of NSA, where I work on a daily basis with data acquired from these programs, I, too, feel compelled to raise my voice. Do I, as an American, have any concerns about whether the NSA is illegally or surreptitiously [...]" http://www.zdnet.com/nsa-cryptanalyst-we-too-are-americans-7000020689/?s_cid=e539&ttag=e539 -Ramon

The congress is the most powerful manifestation of that ideal and a congregational inquiry is strongest and most earnest attempt of the people to get facts. In the face of this the head of the NSA, a government agency which like all government agencies is supposed to support the dreams and aspirations of the people, lied *repeatedly* to a congressional inquiry and in so doing showed utter contempt for the basis that the USA was founded on. Further reports by the NSA's own internal auditor found that it repeatedly breach it judicial limits to the tune of three times a day. Clearly the NSA will not even respect the very generous judicial guidelines it is supposed to work within. Despite the massive cost in life the 9/11 attacks posed no lasting threat to the US. People rallied together as proud Americans with a shared experience. New Yorkers spoke to and helped each other even if they were strangers. The American identity was made stronger, not weaker. The attack by the NSA is much different. It is pervasive, and it attacks the free speech that underpins democracy's in all its forms. In the Soviet Union the citizens responded to the oppressive surveillance state by withdrawing from public life and public contribution and instead they focused very narrowly on themselves and their own family. Truth was spoken only between husband and wife at night, and even then with the bed sheets pulled over their faces. The West used to laugh at the Soviet Union because their spy agencies monitored every international call, every foreigner in the country and its own citizens who had contact with them. And now the NSA is even more pervasive than that and its efforts to coerce, subvert and influence are not a benign as people seem to think. How do you make someone do what they think is morally wrong? You bully them and threaten their loved ones, which is something made much easier by mass surveillance. CRYPTO-GRAM, September 15, 2013 details at least 2 draw dropping examples. It has to stop.

Mr. Lincoln:
It is quite a relief that the wise founders balked at the idea of our
country being a Democracy.
But I do have wonderful news for you! Since you a partial to Democracies
I hear that my spot in Venezuela is available.
Just tell the Chavistas that Ramon sent you, with my compliments.

Are there any reports on how many, and how fast they were caught?

In fact, the so-called McCarthism was a misnomer, since Hoover was the
one pulling the strings.
Funny how now we have a MaCarthy reincarnate/wannabe, who (thank God!)
does not have the hand of the FBI up his ass.

Who do they think these governments are fooling. They pass laws or directives to prevent spying on the locals but then just get a neighboring country to do it for them and share the data.
