Google, Yahoo paid to comply with NSA's PRISM

So Yahoo and Google have been compensated millions of dollars for their trouble to comply with NSA's PRISM data collection? That is not what these two bastions of internet freedom have said in the past. Funny things happen when money changes hands. That about closes the circle. Google has connections with both NSA and the Obama campaign. Nothing to worry about. Actually Google had no connection the Obama campaign but Google employees just ended up mining data for Obama for America.

“To keep our digital teams agile, we needed to make consistent and comprehensive reporting available to everyone on a near real-time basis,” says Nate Lubin, Director of Digital Marketing for Obama for America. “Throughout the campaign, Google Analytics helped us democratize our web data, and enabled all of our teams to make key decisions quickly.”

True, Google Analytics could have been used by the Romney campaign had it known how to utilize it but Google employees chose sides in the 2012 election and gave the Obama team a real technical boost. There is a disturbing link between Silicon Valley and NSA and Silicon Valley and the Obama campaign/administration. Is it far fetched to reason that at some point this relationship will result in the corruption NSA for the political ends of the Democrat Party? No, not unless you would accept the absurd premise that the IRS could be corrupted into the service of Obama and the Democrats.


On the subject of NSA, the snoop agency has dialed back its assertion that individuals in the agency have never abused their power to individuals in the agency seldom abuse their power. So much for Senator Diane Feinstein's “has never identified an instance in which the NSA has intentionally abused its authority to conduct surveillance for inappropriate purposes.” and Congressman Mike Roger's that there were “zero privacy violations” in the agency’s collection of phone records of Americans.
Bloomberg News reports that agents do go off the reservation;

The incidents, chronicled in a new report by the NSA’s inspector general, provide more evidence that U.S. agencies sometimes have violated legal and administrative restrictions on domestic spying, and may add to the pressure to bolster laws that govern intelligence activities.
The inspector general documented an average of one case per year over 10 years of intentionally inappropriate actions by people with access to the NSA’s vast electronic surveillance systems, according to an official familiar with the findings. The incidents were minor, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss classified intelligence.

So far everything Edward Snowden has said has been proven true and everything NSA, Obama, and congressional intelligence committee members have said have been proven to be half true at best.
