The Morning Roar: New NSA Files Provided By Snowden, China & South Korea Agree To Trade In National Currencies, Newly Released 9/11 FBI Files Raise More Questions
Happy Monday! What better way to start your week than with The Morning Roar!New NSA Files Provided by SnowdenOrdinary American and non-American users of digital communications have had their data intercepted by the National Security Agency (NSA) from U.S. digital networks at a much higher frequency than legally targeted foreigners.The Washington Post reports the results of a month-long investigation into a large cache of conversations intercepted by the NSA and provided to the Post by Snowden.
Nine of 10 account holders found in a large cache of intercepted conversations, which former NSA contractor Edward Snowden provided in full to The Post, were not the intended surveillance targets but were caught in a net the agency had cast for somebody else.Many of them were Americans. Nearly half of the surveillance files, a strikingly high proportion, contained names, e-mail addresses or other details that the NSA marked as belonging to U.S. citizens or residents. NSA analysts masked, or “minimized,” more than 65,000 such references to protect Americans’ privacy, but The Post found nearly 900 additional e-mail addresses, unmasked in the files, that could be strongly linked to U.S. citizens or U.S.residents.The surveillance files highlight a policy dilemma that has been aired only abstractly in public. There are discoveries of considerable intelligence value in the intercepted messages — and collateral harm to privacy on a scale that the Obama administration has not been willing to address.
The act of the NSA intercepting and storing the communications of American citizens is criminal. Data has been collected as part of the “net cast" by the agency for foreign investigations. These communications have been intercepted and stored without the knowledge or approval of the individuals affected. This behavior should be categorized as a criminal act by the NSA.Many that have opposed the NSA’s gathering of communications without consent, including the author of the Washington Post article cited above, have missed the mark with their criticism. They have primarily opposed the storing of the data, but have generally not opposed the collection methods. Placing the emphasis on how long data is stored is misguided and opens the door for legislators to pass laws regulating these processes. This is dangerous because it acts to appease those that disagreed with a symptom of the NSA machine (the length of time data is stored) rather than the actual disease (the act of intercepting private communications.)Most rational people have assumed for many years that the NSA is gathering almost every communication made by everyday Americans. Now we have the proof to back-up the claim is available.China & South Korea Agree To Trade In National Currencies The Petro-dollar system took another punch to the gut over the weekend. Voiceofrussia.com reports on the latest move by the Chinese to promote greater use of its currency overseas.
China's central bank has authorised the Bank of Communications, the country's fifth largest lender, to undertake yuan clearing business in the South Korean capital, the People's Bank of China (PBoC) said in a statement.The announcement came as Chinese President Xi Jinping wrapped up a state visit to South Korea on Friday. China is seeking to make the yuan - also known as the renminbi - used more internationally in keeping with the country's status as the world's second biggest economy behind the United States.A joint communique endorsed Thursday by Xi and his South Korean counterpart Park Geun-Hye also pledged to strengthen efforts to launch direct trading between the yuan and the won.
The reign of the petro-dollar is coming to an end. The only questions that remain to be answered are to what length will the elites go to extend the dollar’s place as reserve currency of the world and what boogeyman will be the scapegoat when the symptoms associated with the dollar’s demise begin to wreak havoc in every American household?Newly Released 9/11 FBI Files From FL Investigation Raise More QuestionsIt is a sad sign of the world in which we live when people who seek truth are labeled nut jobs and wackos. This is exactly what occurs with individuals the mainstream media refers to as “truthers”. They are given this label derogatorily because they question the official story endorsed by the authorities. In the world today calling someone a “truther” is akin to calling someone insane.The truther label is taken to the extreme when it comes to the horrible events that occurred on September 11, 2001. Anyone that questions the government’s version of events, in any manner at all, immediately has the “truther” or “conspiracy theorist” label attached to any questions they raise, quickly excommunicating them from the discussion.Last week, truthers and conspiracy theorists were vindicated to some degree when a Freedom of Information Act suit against the government revealed more information on the involvement of Saudis that abruptly left their FL home two weeks prior to the 9/11 terrorist attacks and new information about a mysterious antagonist from Jerusalem.Benswann.com reports:
Benswann.com has followed this story for months now and on Monday, the FBI released 11 heavily censored pages, which also include information on an “antagonist” to the United States.From an FBI report dated April 2002:It says the Tampa FBI office “has determined that (blank) is an antagonist of the United States of America. (Blank) resides in Jerusalem. (Blank) allegedly has held regular and recurring meetings at his residence to denounce and criticize the United States of America and its policies. (Blank) is allegedly an international businessman with great wealth.”In November 2001, (blank) visited the United States for the first time. He traveled to Sarasota, Florida, opened a bank account and made initial queries into the purchase of property in south central Florida. (Blank) intends to establish a Muslim compound in Central Florida. (Blank) revealed that (blank) is fearful of (blank) and fears that (blank) intends to begin offensive operations against the United States if he is able to purchase property and establish a Muslim compound in Central Florida.”Unfortunately, those blanks won’t be uncensored until 2039, which makes you wonder who the government is trying to protect?
These revelations raise many more questions, than they do provide answers. In order to learn the full truth behind what happened on that fateful September day in 2001, it is of paramount importance to stop with the mindless ridiculing of individuals that are asking legitimate questions about circumstances surrounding the tragic event.It is not untruthful to say the government is hiding information surround 9/11 when we now have evidence proving that this is the case."Truth is treason in the empire of lies."- Ron PaulRead The Morning Roar every weekday Monday-Friday!The Lions of Liberty are on Twitter, Facebook & Google+Receive access to ALL of our EXCLUSIVE bonus audio content – including “Conspiracy Corner”, “Degenerate Gamblers” and the “League of Liberty Podcast” by joining the Lions of Liberty Pride and supporting us on Patreon!
