The Intercept:
The secrets are hidden behind fortified walls in cities across the United States, inside towering, windowless skyscrapers and fortress-like concrete structures that were built to withstand earthquakes and even nuclear attack. Thousands of people pass by the buildings each day and rarely give them a second glance, because their function is not publicly known. They are an integral part of one of the world’s largest telecommunications networks – and they are also linked to a controversial National Security Agency surveillance program.
Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. In each of these cities, The Intercept has identified an AT&T facility containing networking equipment that transports large quantities of internet traffic across the United States and the world. A body of evidence – including classified NSA documents, public records, and interviews with several former AT&T employees – indicates that the buildings are central to an NSA spying initiative that has for years monitored billions of emails, phone calls, and online chats passing across U.S. territory.
The NSA considers AT&T to be one of its most trusted partners and has lauded the company’s “extreme willingness to help.”
My oldest son Josh says “They didn’t even mention 33 Thomas St. in NYC. AT&T is a government entity.”
Yes, like Google and many other companies. It wouldn’t be a problem if [a] the FedGov didn’t spy on its own people, and /or [b] FedGov couldn’t find willing corporate partners in this endeavor.
When men reject God, they must created a god in their own image, but assign him attributes of the only true God in order to have a replacement. Thus, all of their philosophy is based on theft.
In this case they are erecting a totem of omniscience, helped and assisted by mankind because their god is dead. The state is usurping the true authority of God, because only He can be or should be omniscient. This is evil in all of its manifestations and applications, and those who do it or help them walk in wickedness.
FedGov is wicked. AT&T is wicked.
