NSA, the only part of our government that listens.
Ha
That is quite clever. Sounds like an internal motto. I love it. 😂
Actually True
never forget this is all to stop non existent terrorism.
Good
I don't back up my data, the NSA does that for me
NRO ... but yes.
They're so thoughtful ❤❤

NSA does Backup - Jesus saves.
Do you have a monthly subscription with them ?
It's almost like the 9-11-01 attacks were allowed by lousy surveillance so that ultra high surveillance could be implemented afterwards.
No way. That could not happen in this great country. Pleasant dreams.....
Yah think. Ah jeez. Did you trip over a book to figure that out
Unfortunately there were many reasons they either allowed it to happen or they designed it to happen. Our government is not our friend. We are simply a number to them and when enough numbers come together, they have to do everything within their power to shrink it. Ultimately, they fear us and the idea that if enough of us come together we would destroy them.
I need money
They made the attack.
Thus proving that 99% of the time, the difference between a hero and a criminal is perception and perspective.
And as always MONEY AND POWER
When corrupt people are involved it seems that way.
That's what the Jewish community preaches.
Nah the difference is in the outcome.
NEITHER OF WHICH AI IS CAPABLE OF!
Ed Snowden tried to tell us about this and for some reason, most people not only didn’t care, they looked at Snowden as a traitor.
I think a lot of those people calling him that were Al or in the govt themselves.
People did support him but they would likely have been effectively suppressed or outright attacked under our noses, based off of the kind of blatant domestic torture protocol being executed against people nowadays, I can only imagine what it was like 10 years ago, and even before that post 911 stuff. They have a very sophisticated program for silencing whistleblowers, holding back information that could move society forward to benefit their corporate constituents.
It’s because the majority of our country has been brainwashed by the news machine to believe what they see on TV news channels
It's not that people didn't care its that it wasn't clear enough for people to understand what is going on...They think he saying they're just spying on us and most people believe that anyways so they think they were told something they already knew...the media and gov. Did a good job and confusing what he was saying they was doing...When people finally did figure out how bad it was we was already going the the "Orange man bad" thing and "Russia collusion" mess...they keep a new problem popping up daily to keep us to distracted to stop and look back and what they have done to us...they can never let up on the pressure because the minute they do people can take a breath and see what's going on...I really hope after they steal this next sElection the people finally have enough and wake up and move on these scum...Im praying for the day!! #1776AGAIN🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
A lot of people who aren't asleep view him as a hero.
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that when kids go missing, they have all the data necessary to find them. They just choose not to.
Worse yet...they are the ones kidnapping. Adrenachrome junkies.
Yikes. That's a good point. 👍👍✝✝
Yep or stop alot of other more serious crimes like Biden and the democrats fleecing America

don't forget these episodes are 8 years old!! Vice really should put the date of all this old CYBERWAR programming in parathesis in the title (2016)
@@mikalzanna2076 totally agree with you 💯
Why would they? more people are likely to click on it if they don't realize its almost a decade old. They're in the business of making money they're not bothered about achieving the greatest possible transparency
I guess it really is time to "Do not recommend" for Vice News because they put out nothing new and only regurgitate the old now.
Great point. Lying by omission. Vice would not want to report on what they would find. It's not their genre.
I was thinking this was brand new
NSA spying on Americans, and China spying on NSA 😂
The Bolloon is all that China needs. And well..... Tick tock... And all the farm land. And police stations in highrise s. Lmao. JB and his cronies sold out to China years ago. Same with Pelosi
What is lost on most is that they don't just track your data, they also run it through advanced A.I. that builds sophisticated in-depth profiles on every citizen. They likely know more about the average person than that person knows about themselves.
So a complete violation of the Fourth Amendment
yes exactly, it's really much worse than "profile" 😢
Satire profile...I trash and cuss everything..and all thing's..
I have an unproven theory that after the Snowden leak that the NSA stepped back, watched the public's reaction, saw that there wasn't much of an outrage and thus carried on as before.
No. After Snowden, encryption became more popular, so they switched over to using keyloggers and relying on built-in microphone hacking. And these might not have even been hacks or malware. They might have just asked the companies that make the products to leave the back door unlocked by allowing them to inject their spyware into driver and OS updates.
@@LemurWhoSpokeyeap it's pretty common for them to install hardware based surveillance even before wireless was common since the past. I'm just glad there's someone like Snowden to inform the public.
You would be right to a certain extent. Some of the information released by Snowden was in the process of being analyzed through certain legal channels, and now with the information regarding these mass-surveillance programs being considered "stolen", none of the people responsible can be prosecuted since the evidence is considered to have been obtained in bad faith. Although as we've seen in the Epstein case, elitists don't ever face justice anyways and the aforementioned legal channels most definitely wouldn't have provided American citizens the same level of detail into what was being done to them with their own tax dollars. So Snowden likely made the best possible decision regardless.
They really prevail.
NSA is distraction. no one’s asking the real question. americans. fully believe in this NSA leaks. lmaooo.
Im 90% sure that that the NSA plays counterstrike with me.
via DHS SS FBI DEA round about way....yes.....yes we do, uncle sams got to know your limits
I am 100% sure they do not.
Hilarious 😂
They most certainly do 😂😂 mine too
That's why I quit CoD. Not because of the kids calling me "my guy" and other racist terms
The crazy part is, none of this matters. There’s nothing anyone can do about it. Can report out all you want, whistleblow all you want, it does not matter. No one can stop it.
no one can but everybody can, it's just that it comes with a price which people are not willing to pay, so nothing changes individualism > collectiveness
Brad YOU ARE A WEAK MAN. I would HATE FOR YOU TO BE MY FATHER!
To both you and BSD, I actually believe it could be stopped. This is how empires have fallen apart before in the past.. for me, reaching a sober and clear intellectual level after going through the early 2000s there’s not much conspiracy anymore but the overwhelming sense of data still grabs me… scientist were able to clone sheep back in the 70s with pretty damn good accuracy. Makes me wonder what we’re doing 50 years later. Also, when you would have a figure who is either a citizen or public idol, and they decide to start preaching this. We can all overthrow mentality and stop paying taxes. I almost guarantee that they first come and talk to you and if you don’t comply, they kill you. If you are a public idol, they have the ability to clone you. And the cloning part is far-fetched but what’s sad is that the data is there. These center were literally built to make sure that the American government can stay in power which can be a tossup I believe in some cases, the American vote still counts, and in some cases it doesn’t, but at the end of the day just like you say BRaDM none of it matters were all part of this collective now and until another January 6 incident arises again we will be stuck with the current system, and if an incident like that was to arise, it has repercussions war would crack off I would rather hope to raise my daughter, even if things are not good right now, there is still peace in America if you’re willing to find it, but if you want to stop the powers that be, there will not be peace not for anyone for quite some time and could lead to nuclear war. They say love makes you do stupid things imagine what power will make other men do.
It's Like Something Out of the Twilight Zone !
The problem is the world don't know the difference between right and wrong.

They probably using your devices as interfaces that record everything. That is why data centers are going up everywhere. Every single keystroke/touch, sound, even the alinement of the device is recorded (like the orinatation of you phone is it level is it face up or face down or upright). Moores law says computing power is double every 18 months or so. Internet speeds now can reach 1Gbps. Yet the system I use is slow andand just as laggy with internet speeds at are compareable to 10-15 years ago. Why? probably because everything I do probably goes through several data centers before actually connecting to the internet. If I was to now delete this reply even that would be recorded in real time. If a change settings shut down and then later on turn it back on my settings are reset to what they where before. I am suppose to manually reconnect to the internet everytime I turn my device on. But it takes like 2 mins to shut down. And the settings are reset to automatic reconnect to the internet. Why? Probably because they want to know what I am doing on the device while its not connected to the internet. Which is not much but changing all my setting back to how I want them. Not what they prefer.
Who's "they"
@@Jeff-sp7bg You're kidding right 🤔🙄
@@Jeff-sp7bg They is the boogeyman that no one can name
It's kind of a double-edged sword. If they can stop terrorist acts, that would be good, but at the same time, they're surveiling people who aren't doing anything, but how do you know unless you look? What sucks is having to react to a terrorist actions rather than stopping it.
This coming off the heels of FISA is too perfect
As a patriotic American i’m so heart broken and saddened to discover the Constitution means nothing anymore . The more i learn the more my heart breaks 😢
When people say Trump or anyone else is a threat to democracy, we should all cheer that on. Democracy is mob rule, two wolves and a lamb deciding on what's for dinner. We are supposed to have a constitutional republic where individual rights are protected, not a democracy. Whenever you hear anyone saying so and so is trying to destroy our democracy they are the enemy. Our government is quickly becoming an Democratic Authoritarian country, and that must be stopped at all costs. I'm a Voluntaryist ,which is basically Anarchy light. If government actually followed the constitution, things would be great. I wouldn't mind having government because we would be free, not the free-range slaves we've turned into. The Constitutional Republic is dead because people got greedy and the people became weak ,dumb, turned from God , care more about virtue signaling than actually having real virtue and for some reason don't care about being free while loving the boot of government on their neck .

It also pays them not to tell where they are
You expect too much. It would require having an actual trace which isn't always there - or hard to find buried under big data. Data may or may not be there and then you'd know where to look or look for it in the first place. Not all missing cases go up the ladder or to that institution I'd wager.

That's ignorant of you to think the Patriot Act started all this. ... Unfortunately, most Americans are as ignorant as you. Go read Executive Order 12333 from 1981. There is literally NO LAW allowing the government to violate the Constitution. All of this surveillance can stop by repealing that one Executive Order. Libertarians, like myself, have been trying like hell to get that one Order repealed. Obama wouldn't do it even though I personally asked him to do it. Biden wouldn't do it because he wants surveillance expanded. If Trump is reelected I'll will pursue him to revoke that EO once and for all.

It's not about living in a vacuum of perfect secrecy. But to make it really costly for them to get you in a dragnet.

And above all: get your threat model straight, otherwise you're just thrashing around.

One thing I like about Indians is that regardless where they go, they don’t forget their culture and unlike other communities women’s strive for higher education without compromising their roles at home ……they’re wife’s and moms at home….
What can happen is they keep all the information of everybody everywhere So if they want to get somebody or set them up, they just go through all this information, find something they think might hurt the person
I feel investors should focus on under-the-radar stocks, considering the current rollercoaster nature of the stock market, Because 35% of my $270k portfolio comprises plummeting stocks that were once revered. I don't know where to go here out of devastation.
The safest approach I feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.
@@CatinaNguyen It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.
@@DavidMansour-ej8gt This is considerable! think you could suggest any professionals/advisors? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation.
@@leahwilliams7489 My CFA ’ is “Victoria Carmen Santaella”, a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
@@DavidMansour-ej8gt Appreciate this recommendation, hopefully, I can get some insight into where the market is headed and strategies to beat the downtrend when I hear back from Victoria Carmen Santaella.
Nice try NSA, but I’m behind 11 proxies. I run KZhead in a headless browser with custom scripts to remove any tracking tags from links. My activity is actually bounced between various VPNs so my actual ip address is never given. To be extra safe, any time I want to watch a video I have the raw html printed on paper then faxed to a local animal shelter where a carrier pigeon flies the paper to the PO Box of one of my assistants who I pay to discreetly analyze for any oddities.
🤔 Sounds like an airtight strategy 😄
its over you used youtube. get a new pigeon
I hope the printer is dot matrix 😂
Silly, I think your printer has a fingerprint though
😂👏🏽 the good ole days. Is it still possible to send an email to a mobile phones text? Not email app.
😂 I was hacked and computer "geniuses" claim they can get past it. It's been 17 years now and not 1 person can get past the hack. I once offered $50,000 to anyone successful. Nobody could do it. They really didn't want me to show you what I recorded.
You're on the "They Know" watchlist now...
I don't care what "they" know and "they" can lick the dirt right off my brown 👁️
This is from 2016, DO NOT BE MISLEAD
LOL "mislead"
The question is... What are they concerned about, us or those that mean to harm us? My opinion is they want to monitor to become aware when people discover their evil intentions. When people discover what kind of atrocities those certain people commit. When available tech leaks and people uncover a view into what's REALLY happening.
I have an app that constantly loads NSFW videos just to load up their servers. They have a great collection now.
I use the NSA as free cloud storage. I just retrieve my data back from an insider I have with them.
Your college comp sci friend joined the NSA?
Yes@@LyricsQuest
😂😂😂
Why didn't you bring up the "SIGNALS" Program and the "FIVE EYES" in this mass Surveillance (which is a massive part of World Surveillance and what and who they go after!!!
Ever heard of TARGETED INDIVIDUALS??
This video is 8 years old.
Does the average employee turn off the Hacked information when they go home?
This country when they say “national security” be ready to give up your rights, your business, your privacy and everything. Big brother is watching you. They can do whatever they want.
The US government read the plot of Deus Ex and thought to themselves, "Yes, this is exactly what we want!"
I’ve read or heard somewhere that even if you turn off your cellphone you can still be tracked.
It can
It's true. Modern cellphones, with removable batteries, even have backup batteries for the tracker/microphone.
by your biological frequencies
Oh yeah, most phones no longer have a removable battery, but they can store power in chips & turn on a mike at any time... but bleep phones Yer tv microwave & anything Bluetooth or smart does the same.. freaking vacuums spy on you.. and other governments too... & As this states or implies private parties can gather info illegal for .gov to grab, but there is no law saying .gov can't then purchase that data
YEP ! plus they can activate the mic and camera...but not if you go 'Sym-less'
Very wonderful how the NSA takes care of us and keeps us safe. All the respect
How, They keep allowing this American Citizens surveillance to continue
Most of the children missing are from department of children services
Actually Democrats
😮 wow 😢
_"Whatta you gonna do about it? Exactly, nothing. Sit down."_ *- NSA*
Pretty much comes down to this. Everyone knows, everyone barks, and nobody can do anything about it anyway.
Hopefully one day it can be abolished.
😅 exactly! I’ll sit down but won’t stfu!😂
You can do things about it, the trouble is that encrypted communication which the government cannot crack is illegal and people or companies trying to challenge that are being blackmailed by the government and put on trials as if they were Trump wanting reelection, that's why you have purpose-built backdoors everywhere, as was the case of phone calls, which were purposely designed so police officers can listen if they received permission from a judge...
Thank you for sharing and I am looking forward for more justice.🥰
while the group goes after terrorists, that's not all that it does. one group.
My biggest fascination is what, if any, contingencies are taken to prevent capture of this security apparatus from organized criminals or any shadow faction that would abuse it for personal gain? When you've got the biggest stick that gives you the authority to tell everyone what to do, the stick itself becomes the prize, right?
That's already happened
Because they work with those shadow fractions
😮Arent they, the NSA & govt servants THE organized criminals, against humanity??
THIS!!! Under rated comment! 🏆💡
They put the back door in the devices before they put them out mass distribution
TOYS are designed and re-designed to ensure "total observation", the Hacks, and pretend crack-softwares are just a Feel-Safe-Game.
anybody in the government, who is not supporting his needs, is not doing his job.
2005 wants its exposé back. Millennials shocked by mass surveillance older than them is cringe. *Ponders own weird eye-tilt while looking over train bridge at dusk*.
A Palantír is a dangerous tool, Saruman.
That's kind of the point, and it's a bit sinister...
Yep, as the Snake entered Eden, and so since 1948.....BC
Drake and Snowden are American Heroes
Free Julian assange!
Yess❤❤❤❤
Tell that to the families of the operatives he killed. To the families of terror victims because the bad guys didn't get caught.
I have said it from day 1. Snowden did not give up a great job and his life in America if it were not serious. I sure miss reporters with integrity and enough balls to do the job (even if it cost them their great jobs also). just saying. no rebels anymore, Hunter S. we miss you.
@@billwendell6886 very easy to label good and bad no? if you are an operative for a government working against another government, your in the game. You should be aware that a slip up will lead you in jail or dead
Dude was in the Chair Force for sure….how do people in our military become so fat??
This video is 8 years old. Imagine the tools they have now a days. Scary stuff
But can they see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch?
I still do!
no, they don't need to sell data, they get a cut of that $800 billion U.S. tax payers gives every year.
Funniest comment I've read so far this year. Thank you.
Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids.
But neither has hearts, stars, horseshoes, clovers and blue moons, pots of gold and rainbows, and the red balloons.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="0">0:00</a> Fun fact not mentioned in the video, this is the NSA repository of all the intercepted data from phone calls, emails, internet and it's located in the Army's Camp Williams in southern Salt Lake County. The aphorism they quoted in the video "If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear" is on a concrete sign located in front of the entrance and all the facility is filled with hard drives containing exabytes of data constantly being drawn from the internet. Between the building and the computer storage it's a multibillion dollar facility that spends $65 million per year on electricity alone.
@@Non-finite-Dimensionality You know it's a NSA classified facility. How many ICBM silos have you toured or CIA black sites or how about the bioweapons labs at Fort Dietrick? As for the facility it's got a page on Wikipedia if you want to read about it.
@@Non-finite-Dimensionality Try Uber
I hope one day this twisted sign & this site becomes a memorial of our lost freedom & exactly where it went. Like Na/zi Germany, we are completely fcked
It houses zetabytes...let that sink in. So if you get on the radar, they would only need to parse the data on you for persuasion and/or prosecution.
@dix_pack_of_sixie Wikipedia says it has 12 exabytes and there are 1024 exabytes in a zettabyte but nothing surprises in storage or Moore's Law and who knows what they can do with $65 million of electricity.
The crazy thing is that even Trump looks at Snowden and Assange as traitors
This is when Americans become too smart for their own trousers. Now look at your government bruh.
Wouldn’t worry about it too much they can only know what you let them know! Some people are able to let them know what they think they know. The bad guys are very well aware that the systems are collecting the information. It’s really quite impossible to know if a lot of the information they collect is even accurate. But it still needs to be collected. Every single electronic transaction on every single computer and phone in the world is recorded. And it’s really pretty amazing. How many people don’t realize this.
All of their sophistication shined liked a bright star when they retreated from Afghanistan.
