*And, it will bite U.S. on the ass:
(Ahem) Can you say, "You ain't seen nothing, yet."?

AT&T Helped The N.S.A. Spy on Everyone (via the Internet) on a Vast Scale

The N.S.A. Bldg. In Fort Meade, Maryland.
(Sort of looks like a computer chip, doesn't it?)

This Is Documented:

"The N.S.A.’s top-secret budget in 2013 for the AT&T partnership was more than twice that of the next-largest such program, according to the documents. The company installed surveillance equipment in at least 17 of its Internet hubs on American soil, far more than its similarly sized competitor, Verizon. And its engineers were the first to try out new surveillance technologies invented by the eavesdropping agency."

And, This Is B.S.:

“We do not voluntarily provide information to any investigating authorities other than if a person’s life is in danger and time is of the essence,” Brad Burns, an AT&T spokesman, said. He declined to elaborate.*

"Liar! Liar! Pants On Fire!... Hanging On A TELEPHONE WIRE!!"

*Wow! Wasn't the author of little rhyme prescient?

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Snowden, Security & Surveillance (video)

One of the ideas that America was founded upon/was famous for was that we had a system of Checks and Balances. That system was created to insure that no government body acquired too much power.  Everyone had to answer to someone.

But, in recent years, something has gone horribly wrong with America.  And proof is found in what has happened to her founding ideas.

For Example: There are scant few government checks on what America’s sweeping surveillance programs are allowed to do.  And, there is nothing even remotely resembling balance.

John Oliver sits down with Edward Snowden to discuss the NSA, the balance between privacy and security, and dick-pics.
