Snowden: NSA Spying On EU Diplomats and Administrators

An anonymous reader writes "According to a report dated 2010 recently provided by [former NSA contractor Edward] Snowden to the German news magazine 'Der Spiegel', the NSA has systematically been spying on institutions of the EU in Washington DC, New York, and Brussels. Methods of spying include bugging, phone taps, and network intrusions and surveillance according to the documents." All part of a grand tradition.

He fucking sees little children while they are sleeping. All of them. Every night. The original surveillance society indoctrination.

You seem to have redacted the Kardashians. No-one of intelligence cares what they have to say.

Actually, the NSA thought about recording all the Kardashians' conversations. Then if the secret police ever needed to "break" a prisoner, they could just make them listen to the recordings.

However, the idea was rejected, because even the US government wasn't willing to go that far.

Dear Sir,

Your slavish devotion to the United States government has been duly noted.

For your obedient behavior, you have been awarded one (1) hour of vacation from your wage slavery, to be taken at any time during the next year. It is suggested, if you wish to earn further such credits, that you use this hour to engage in government-approved speech or other nonsubversive activities.

Well, we do have standards for torture for anyone with an IQ over 70, so makes sense I guess.

Also explains why they are still relevant in any way.

they don't need to record the conversations, they could just play the shows.

That'd probably involve an additional licensing fee, as it's not home/domestic use.

I mean we wouldn't want the government breaking laws, would we?

Good luck with that

We made our bureaucracy so vast it's impossible on spy on all of it.
