Wall St. Journal Reporter Issues Dire Warning
Veteran reporter: Nobody’s data safe from feds
‘Telecom routinely supply hundreds of thousands of records annually’
WND
A veteran reporter is warning that members of the news media aren’t the only Americans who should be concerned about the privacy of their telephone conversations.
Gregory J. Millman of the Wall Street Journal, who says his telephone records were targeted by the IRS many years ago, writes that the communications of citizens could come to the attention of the government in a number of ways, including by getting a call from someone in whom the government has interest.
The issue has arisen because of the admission by the Department of Justice that it obtained records of Associated Press telephone lines in the House Gallery at the U.S. Capitol over a period of months.
WND reported the Obama administration said it pursued AP’s records because a double agent in the war on terror was compromised by a story. However, the news wire’s reporting on the issue didn’t mention the agent.
It was CIA Director John Brennan, who then was President Obama’s terror adviser, who told members of Congress that the U.S. had “inside control” of the situation. Media then reported on the use of a double agent, according to a profile of the government’s justification for pursuing the reporters’ telephone records published in the Los Angeles Times.

Millman writes that his records were targeted in 1991 when he wrote a story citing an Internal Revenue Service memo.
However, he pointed out that when his records were taken by the IRS, he wasn’t the only one
“That’s how they happened to scoop up the phone records of a home builder, a trade association of corporate finance officers, an old friend who happened to live in Washington, D.C., and the Alicia Patterson Foundation, which supports investigative journalism and which I had called to discuss a fellowship.”

The Country is run by criminals.
Now that the press all know that they are all being spyed on they have two options
1. Ask for more money to keep pumping the same propaganda they have been doing whilst hiding the real news for the past 70 years
2. Join the public who have been moving towards the internet free press for years and die a silent death.
We are all being watched, one key stroke at a time by american software companies all ran by the CIA or did you think that only americans could write software.
A front door lock is a must have today, a hardware firewall that blocks outbound traffic is also a must have today so get one that made well outside the USA if you care about your liberty, freedom or privacy because they ain’t doing all this watching without a reason.
So when do we say enough is enough?
The only intended purpose of the United States government under law was to protect the borders of the country. They know this. Everything else they do is unconstitutional because it falls outside the original intent of our forefathers writings. this is why they hate sovereign citizens. When it comes right down to it, they can do whatever people let them get away with but when it gets pushed they have to back off. Soldiers and anyone else that serves in the military are the people that get really screwed by the government because when you sign up, you are signing a contract for life you will shut your mouth or be prosecuted. If you don’t join the service you can do whatever you damn well please and say whatever you damn well please because you haven’t signed a contract to give up your rights.
Once again we see this admin. overstep and infringe on our rights. What is anyone going to do about it?? We are suppose to be a constituional Republic-not a dictatorship.
‘Telecom routinely supply hundreds of thousands of records annually’ Who read that?
Why in the world are they so surprised? C’mon now This has been going on for years for the average citizen. Did they think they were special???? LOL
They’ve been spying on citizens for years.
Now that they are going after the reporters its
finally becoming a big deal…..
Talk is cheap…. what are they going to do about it?
Isn’t amazing the people you vote in as your privileged leaders, paid by you, retired by you, protected by you
DECIDE TO SCREW YOU!!!! That’s what happens when you do all the above. It’s called spoilt child syndrome and why you should NEVER do it.
