What do you know about the NSA?

If you say so.

But the truth is there. Cold War Soviet Union was most definitely a threat to the US. Now, we share their space station. Who would have imagined that 20 years ago?

Go bark up another tree. The Russians, while not a trusted ally, are far closer than they were just 20-30 years ago.

The only 'evidence' that cold war Soviet Union was a threat is the words of the professional liars, many of whom spawned by the 3rd Reich, that were toiling for the US government.

Not surprisingly, it's the mercenaries of the US government that have provided deadly blowback, not the people under attack.

I assume you are referring to this: http://www.cato.org/publications/com...versus-reality

So what? That does not represent a fear/phobia/preoccupation with Mother Russia. Many of our interests, are also the political and economic interests of the current power in Russia.

Government printshop boy's not going to like that citation, which is merely the tip of the iceberg regarding commiephobic policy.

Wasn't Russia there first? Why yes, they were.

Afghanistan is in Russia's sphere--not the US. There's no reason for the US to be waging war over there. So what if the people there want to lead secular lives?

Again, our interests to remove the Taliban as an influential force in that region, coincides with the same interests of Russia.

No fear. No phobia. We both want stability in the region, with a political/militry regime that is not hostile to either the US or Russia.

The US has deliberately empowered Islam and assaulted human rights in the region. Why? This is US policy. It's absolutely terrible for the layperson. Too bad so many liars and idiots in the US are constantly shilling for such policy.

Our interests are not entirely the same as Russia's. Russia has had to contend with Islamist neo-nazi movements and has put some of them down.

Since these incidents are underplayed in US media and are portrayed as 'oppressed militants in need of liberation' in domestic media and domestic government, I think we can both make very good guesses with regard to whom is funding these 'oppressed Islamist militants', no?

3 dots, 4 dots, 2 dots, dah.. NSA.. rah, rah, rah (inside joke we used to tell ourselves)

@jrob.. common sense thinking.... Would you be welcome & comfortable if the Islam world had 100,000s of soldiers and bases within the USA or Canada? A lot (not all) in the Moslem world view the USA and Israel as a THREAT to their way of living and beliefs. You have the CIA smuggling in all sorts of weapons in Iran, Syria, and almost everywhere else. How you would act if Iran was smuggling in weapons to white supremacist and other groups who want to overthrow the US government?

I don't know about today, but NSA in the 80s played a very huge part in deterring the Soviet threat to the United States.

Imagine that

Chris Simpson's 'Blowback' is an excellent primer regarding the treasonous policies carried out by US leaders, who are then able to use the media to portray it all as 'patriotic' and 'crucial to our freedom'.

The National Archives in Suitland contain vast warehouses of documentation, though certainly just a small portion of the total.

Care to flesh out your alternative 9/11 theories? You've had 6 months to ponder it.

It's also duly noted how much your beloved media and your beloved leaders are downplaying/supporting the US government's infliction of the Muslim Brotherhood on Egypt--even as tends of thousands of Egyptians revolt against your pet pharoah Morsy.

That NSA trainees trained at Ft. Devens, MA. prior to the closing of the base in the 1980's. I found many of these trainees were on the wacko side.

In 2011, Congress spent around 54.6 billion of US tax paying dollars to classified intelligence operations that most Americans have absolutely no clue about. Congress allocated $53.1 billion in 2010 to secret intelligence operations and that was a steep increase from 2009, when the intelligence community got $49.8 billion.


So what do you know about the NSA? Have you ever viewed the building in Ft.Meade? Have you ever read books on the organization? Do you know the history of the organization that receives billions a year? Do you know what the mission is for the organization? Amazon link below

What part of classified don't you understand?

I'm sure you'll be among the first to complain if there's another terrorist attack.
