Breaking: Russell Tice states “ALL” communications monitored

( – promoted by buhdydharma )

I’m watching Countdown with Keith Olbermann and Russell Tice, former NSA analyst, is giving an exclusive interview…

I’m paraphrasing his most important statements here…

“ALL Americans communications were monitored by the NSA”.

“I found out collection on organizations to include reporters were 24/7 365 days a year and that is when they came after me to fire me when I spoke out”

“I don’t know what happened to the data collected”

“The agency [NSA] tailored their briefings in a way to be deceptive to Congress… they played a shell game of ‘you can’t see this because it’s intelligence'”

“All my communications were tapped so I wrote a handwritten note to an Obama official and have been under surveillance by the FBI”

“All of these things were against the law”

This is the only the most important things I caught he said as I have typed them out.  Keith Olbermann say’s there will be a second interview of Mr. Tice to come in the future.

Here is the link to Countdown’s main site.  The interview is currently listed as video #3.

ADDED:

That also explains why Bush appealed the spy ruling right before he left office.

With a mere 64 minutes left in its last full day in office, the Bush administration asked a federal judge to stay enforcement of a ruling that would keep alive a lawsuit which tests whether the president can bypass the Congress and eavesdrop on Americans without warrants.

  2. I was watching with my jaw dropped down to the floor.

    This might be just the beginning of news that will start to become public now that Bushco is over.

    And yet, there will be no prosecutions? Still?

  5. Because they always get stronger.

  6. Whistleblower Jesselyn Radak recently commented in a diary over at the orange:  

    “…The govt. got hold of records of phone calls between myself and journalist Mike Isikoff, and neither of us knew how they did it.”

    Well, now we know “how they did it”.  We also have an example here on how bush/cheney’s domestic spying was used not for national defense, but for persecution of a whistleblower who spoke out against Administration law breaking.



  7. Remember this?

    ‘Nuff said.

    You can fly around the entire planet at 50,000 ft or you can zoom in to your yard. If for some reason your yard or your neighborhood become an item of interest then they can zoom right in and lay your life bare and all your connections.

    The data is there. The only question is are you or your connections of sufficient interest.
