From that site regarding Brazil making a truce with the USA - keep in mind this quote:
The NSA really needs to focus on Mexico and Europe, not using up as much as 40% of Brazil's national aggregate bandwidth just to eavesdrop on everything.
Of course, the White House knew about 9/11 threats before it happened. Bush wasn't surprised when he heard the news of WTC being struck. I think the NSA knew about the Paris attacks before they happened, but it was France who simply underestimated the whole thing - mainly focusing on protecting the president first and foremost.
Quote:People can call themselves whatever they want to sound good. As the quote falsely attributed to Upton Sinclair says, "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." But does making all these movies (this is hardly the first privacy advocacy movie) amount to anything other than the sheep from Animal Farm baaing "Privacy good, NSA b-a-a-a-a-a-a-d"?
BTW, Brazil has recently ended its objections to the NSA: http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/06/16/braz...ack-obama/ Who wants to bet the reason for this is because Brazil has set up its own version of the NSA?
Another example of the mainstream media's Big Lie against the NSA came to mind. Remember when the Equation Group was found? It had similarities to Stuxnet. Did the media say it could be the NSA and Israel working together again, or just Israel? Nope. The NSA took sole blame with no conclusive evidence whatsoever that they were even partially responsible.

Quote:“The American government’s posture did change. The [U.S.] president made it clear in his last conversation with Rousseff in Panama that if he wanted to know something about Brazil or the president, he will call her and not use other means,” he said.Friendly diplomatic shit, that's all...
