Hi Tim

It occurred to me today that they have spent literally trillions of dollars building these spy organisations….. they built it up over time as new technology became available. Its being going on since I was young….  A long time!  I thought that they would never allow the trillions spent to be wasted and would find ways of keeping it going….. then I thought about the inaction over ISIS and wondered if it’s being allowed as a reason to keep the spying going.  So I have spent a good deal of my day reading the first thread on the spying….. it’s a real eye opener when you read where it is now at this point in time, two years later. Nothing has changed!!   The lies, deceit, innuendoes, threats, denials, distractions/diversions, vying for time …...   So far quite a few good stories have disappeared off the internet.  No surprise there….  If I hadn’t copied some of the story in each link I would not have remembered any of the content.   It has stuck in my mind the comment by Snowden that the spying wasn’t about terrorism…. It was about power, control, economic espionage etc…..

Here are some relevant links I did find still operating….   I have read so much today my eyeballs are falling out….. there were just too many relevant links for me to post…..  although it was good to be able track back and read them.
