The NSA’s Line In the Sand

NSA Director Keith Alexander
"I will tell you what your rights are" 

Dave Hodges

In a “this is going to hurt me more than it will hurt you” kind of a statement, Keith Alexander, Director of the NSA, said that Americans must be spied upon and absolute secrecy with regard to these spy programs must remain in place to ensure the effectiveness of the programs and the purposes which underlie them. Alexander further asserted that there cannot be any transparency as to NSA spying activities. Funny, I thought that being a Constitutional Republic demanded transparency.

Alexander reasoned that if the NSA lets terrorists know that they are being tracked, that the terrorists will evade detection and “Americans will die.” Is Alexander actually trying to say that if terrorists know that if the NSA is spying upon American citizens that this is going to make the terrorists behave themselves because they are afraid of being spied upon? Did you just have to reread the previous sentence?

I thought Alexander’s line of work was called “intelligence” for a reason. Who writes the press releases for these supposedly well-reasoned intelligence leaders? It would appear that our school children are not the only ones who have been dumbed down.

NSA Chief Lies to Congress

Stephen Lendman

General Keith Alexander is NSA director. He's US Cyber Command head. He's in charge of lawlessly spying. He directs illegal hacking. 

He does both globally. He's a serial lawbreaker. He violates fundamental constitutional law. He testified before Congress. More on that below.

Edward Joseph Snowden revealed what vital to know. He exposed unconstitutional spying. He said more. He accused NSA of lawless hacking. He knows. He was there. He revealed what he saw firsthand.

On June 14, Russia Today headlined "Snowden's asset: NSA hacking exposer knows secrets China wants," saying:

He's currently in Hong Kong. He's a wanted man. Washington wants him extradited, arrested, prosecuted, disappeared or murdered. He fears for his safety.
