the NSA can spy on computers that are not connected to the Internet via
traditional Internet networks Huffington Post The Associated Press in c.net have
written about this
the NSA is using secret wireless technology
that allows it to access and alter data on computers
even when the computer is not connected to the Internet in the traditional way
that we would understand what being connected to the Internet is
since 2008 the agency has been using a covert channel
a radio waves that can transmit from hardware installed in the computers
according to NASA documents and experts interviewed by The New York Times
signals can then be sent to briefcase sized relay stations miles away
according to the report putting aside the obvious
cold-war healing a this Louis the
I the claim from the government that they are only doing this
internationally two targets that have been deemed
appropriate for this type of surveillance number one
I don't believe for a second that this technology has never been used
domestically to surveilled people's computers
and number two let's remember that the appropriateness of those targets
was established by the exact same system that wants to use this technology is so
I certainly am not pacified in any way or placated when I hear don't worry
the targets are appropriate well they're appropriate because you've determined
they are for your personal usage
right it seems that every revelation into this is more disturbing than the
next that mean
at what point do you wake up in this just like you notice a aging in your
guest room
I who is that you're staying with you for Robin
a year to to make sure you not doing anything wrong the the other thing that
really angers me
so much about this is that we seem to be
if you believe millions of people who share this this view
or just the facts on the ground we seem unable to create
a decent health care system or reduce poverty in a significant way
but we can access computers all over the world covertly
with the radio waves regardless of whether they're connected to the
internet or not
and the health care system is in shambles the education system is in
shambles
we've got absurd at financial inequality bigger than ever in this country
but the a briefcase receptors for secret NSA
spying on nine internet-connected computers seems to be working fine
it's funny David it brings up or priorities
and a you would think that this program is intended to keep the citizens safe
but clearly
after what you just said our priorities are not with the citizens
so why is this such a priority it's very it's very I
