Like the spaceship in Independence Day. fo shizzleI imagine it's one of those things that they don't tell a President about for reasons of "plausible deniability".

you make my eye twitch.The reason for this is manifold:
Yeah how is that choke point working in China? Any attempt by a government over a modernized population to censor the internet is futile, temporary and a waste of time.balkenization of the internet most certainly could happen, not that "internet" would go away but countries would setup choke points so they can control the flow of information, Iran and china for example engage in various degrees of effort to do that.
yer so edgyYou're fucking bothered?
They should all be fucking hanged for spying on citizens of the United States. Start calling for their deaths and stop feeling "bothered".
A "top secret" classified NSA document from the year 2010 shows that a unit known as the "Special Collection Service" (SCS) is operational in Berlin, among other locations. It is an elite corps run in concert by the US intelligence agencies NSA and CIA.
The secret list reveals that its agents are active worldwide in around 80 locations, 19 of which are in Europe -- cities such as Paris, Madrid, Rome, Prague and Geneva. The SCS maintains two bases in Germany, one in Berlin and another in Frankfurt. That alone is unusual. But in addition, both German bases are equipped at the highest level and staffed with active personnel.
The SCS teams predominantly work undercover in shielded areas of the American Embassy and Consulate, where they are officially accredited as diplomats and as such enjoy special privileges. Under diplomatic protection, they are able to look and listen unhindered. They just can't get caught.
Wiretapping from an embassy is illegal in nearly every country. But that is precisely the task of the SCS, as is evidenced by another secret document. According to the document, the SCS operates its own sophisticated listening devices with which they can intercept virtually every popular method of communication: cellular signals, wireless networks and satellite communication.
For people like us who are decently tech savy and have a desire to see other parts of the web, then yes, government censorship would be futile. However, it would still mean more hoops to jump through, less secure connections, and a slower connection. But for your average Joe he'll be stuck with whatever the government deems proper. As I say, I hope this won't come to pass. But there are those amongst the ruling class who sure as hell would like to see it happen.Yeah how is that choke point working in China?

It's so obvious that, that was a lie, that all the congressman "were briefed" what was going on in the nsa, now that there are leaks they say "oh even the president didn't know" how could congress know if the president didn't, it's clear they weren't sharing everything they where doing. Hypocrite Dianne feinstein says "well this is unacceptable", why wasn't it "unacceptable" 2 weeks ago?[/URL]
Nothing wrong with total surveillance on our own citizens..but other countries' leaders? An outrage!
You'd think everyone got briefed on our surveillance capabilities 4 months ago when they all said they reviewed it and it was A-OK.
