NSA Plus AT&T: Match Made In Hell
BY Herschel Smith

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.
VERIZON is right up there with AT&T. They have long been sleeping with the scum of fedgov as much as AT&T.
Until Traditional Americans rise up against the Deep State/fedgov/stategov/localgov….things will only worsen.
Before 9/11, government spied on the American public. After 9/11, government doubled down on spying on the American public.
I feel so much safer now…

Yes! And very well said!
Here’s a link to an article which claims the goal of our would-be controllers is the creation of a man-made, artificial omniscience through the use of biological, super computers. Yes, I know Veteran’s Today is half or more fiction and disinformation … but, just for grins, put on your temporary tin foil hat and read this article … you may see many dots getting connected….

The wicked have made state their god, and state would be an organ of
Satan. Was not this Nimrods goal as well? Bureaucracy is entrenched
and only God can fix it now.
Of that I have no doubt, especially since right now they’re providing both my Internet and cell service. But their Top Men also want to stay out of Federal prison. Operating a company like AT&T and not cooperating with the NSA is simply not an option.
Not “news” at all…. Read “The Puzzle Palace” by Bill Binney, written Decades before the ‘internet’ became the backbone of Communications. when the Telcos began using Satellite Systems for long-distance connections, it was Ordered by the FCC that all Operational Codes and System Data on the Satellites be handed over to the ‘agency’ for ‘national security reasons’.
Downhill from There.
Gryphon –
My copy of “The Puzzle Palace” – a book about the NSA – was written by James Bamford. Are we talking about the same title? Mine is original and autographed.
