The Saga Continues: NSA Responds To Tucker - My Reaction

Okay guys, this is a big one.
Really big. So the NSA has responded to Tucker Carlson's allegations that they've been spying on him.
Now... Hey Siri, what's the non-denial denial?
Because this is case in point exhibit A of a non-denial denial.
This is the NSA's response.
Also, bear in mind, nothing instills confidence in American public that is rightfully skeptical of these agencies, right?
They've seen the abuse from the FBI, DAJ, CIA, and all of them over the last couple of years.
NSA is no different.
Just look what they did with Snowden and all the others over the years.
Like, let's stop pretending these guys are above board.
But nothing adds to the confidence that we as the American public should have in these agencies than turning off people's ability to reply to the comment and response by a government agency, which is exactly what they did in this tweet.
They turned off people's ability to reply and comment On a government agency.
So, again, it's already starting off, but read it carefully.
Listen to it carefully, and listen for the nuance, because what they're trying To get you to believe is not actually what any of this says.
So here we go. The agency has been, quote, monitoring our electric communications and is planning to leak them in an attempt to take this show off the air, close quote.
This allegation is untrue.
Tucker Carlson has never been an intelligence target of the agency, and the NSA has never had any plans to take his program off the air.
NSA has a foreign intelligence mission.
We target foreign powers to generate insight on foreign activities that could harm the United States, with limited exceptions, e.g.
an emergency. NSA may not target a U.S. citizen without a court order that explicitly authorizes the targeting, right?
Like a FISA warrant. Because FISA hasn't been abused over the last few years, right?
The FBI didn't abuse it and lie about it in the Russia-Russia hoax, folks, right?
So this is the perfect example of a non-response.
They try to lead you there. Now, they could be targeting someone else and still getting Tucker's communications.
They could not specifically be targeting Tucker, but still be monitoring those communications.
But none of it says that, right?
It's bizarre that they don't allow replies.
But it's also the same deceit that they've used for years.
They can spy on U.S. citizens' communications without targeting the American.
Third, the NSA has extremely broad authority to collect communications, right?
Glenn Greenwald did all sorts of stuff about this.
This is a guy that was definitely a liberal leader on the left, who's sort of, I think, seen some of the light about what's going on with these agencies and has called them out on it, okay?
So, first and foremost, if you've been watching, I believed Tucker before I believed the NSA. The NSA definitely wasn't spying on Tucker, and yet they said that, right?
He's never been an intelligence target.
Doesn't say they weren't looking at the communications.
Let's be clear, okay? This is not normal, folks.
Remember, they did this to Snowden.
It's got broad authority to collect Americans' communications, and it often does without specifically targeting that person.
You don't have to be a genius to do this.
Back in 2013, using the NSA's top secret documents, Glenn Greenwald reported in detail how the NSA collects, stores, and monitors Americans' communications without a warrant and without targeting the American.
Which is all the NSA denies that it did in this statement.
They just said, they weren't targeting. Doesn't mean they didn't read it.
Again, not bolstered by the fact that they turned off replies.
Also not bolstered by the fact that the Pentagon just suspended a pro-Trump security official for, quote, unauthorized disclosure of classified information from the NSA. Presumably means that she or they or whoever leaked NSA activities to someone who wasn't supposed to talk about it, right? Definitely a non-denial denial.
This stuff goes on and on.
It doesn't stop.
These are the same people that have told you that white supremacy is the biggest threat and, of course, conservatives are a key to espousing white supremacy rhetoric and all this nonsense.
But this is what happens when the left takes over an institution.
They did not deny it.
They can't. That's what he says.
And honestly, if you've been watching, I tend to believe him.
Certainly much more than I do any of these broken and corrupted agencies.
Have a good one guys. Hope you're paying attention.
