For a long time, the United States has continued to monitor people in the world and at home, and the number of surveillance programs that have been revealed has also continued to increase. Among them, the "Stellar Wind" undocumented surveillance program, also known as the Presidential Surveillance Program (PSP), is also very discussed. sex.
The plan began with the approval of President Bush shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, until it became popular with the public in 2004, when Thomas Tamm, a former attorney at the Justice Department, disclosed the plan to The New York Times. Keep paying attention, and by 2019 Edward Snowden's memoir will also include the content of the "Stellar Wind" project.
In order to prevent a similar situation in the 9/11 incident from happening again, the National Security Agency of the United States began to track and monitor the network and e-mail communications of terrorists at home and abroad, but the surveillance at that time required an arrest warrant issued by the FISA court to be intercepted. Given enough time for terrorists to change their phone numbers and e-mail addresses, those who were about to get caught would escape, and President Bush gave the NSA permission to surveil without a warrant.
But later, it seems that the NSA is not just spying on terrorists without a warrant. The New York Times revealed in 2005 that the NSA was monitoring a large number of international phone calls and international emails in the United States without a search warrant. Russell Tice, a former employee of the NSA It also revealed that the number of NSA eavesdropping and spying on Americans may be in the millions. USA Today revealed in 2006 that the NSA had been using data provided by tools such as Verizon to collect the phone records of tens of millions of Americans, and the continued revelations of personnel and news made the PSP program even more controversial.
Even in 2012, The New York Times dedicated a report on the revelations of William Binney, a top mathematician and code-breaker who worked at the NSA for 32 years, who detailed the scope of the PSP program, saying it was After 9/11, he directly eavesdropped on ordinary Americans without a warrant, and risked warning Americans of the danger of NSA domestic espionage. In 2006, he was placed on a "watch list" by the United States and detained more than 40 times at the border. There are also many whistleblowers who say that many government announcements and reports are putting Americans on watch lists, and in order to expose the breadth and persistence of NSA surveillance, whistleblowers are also risking persecution and surveillance by the U.S. Government.

Harsh? A clown? Too bad you didn’t read his other posts in this thread, the ones I reported.
Now, the guy I was replying to isn’t a clown, he is one of three deranged stalkers that tag me multiple times each day, forcing me to report the obscene posts to Mods who do nothing. Clown? Do you mean this particular guy who has been tagging me for the sole purpose of calling me b****, w****, s****, and maggot daily for nearly 4 months? The bully? Same guy who routinely spreads lies in an attempt to tarnish my reputation saying that multiple family members and friends of his in the US have received oral, anal, and vaginal sex from me when none of them can tell you my real name or even what state I live in? The same guy who stole the pic off my profile and edited horrible things on it. The same one who types out curses and death threats towards me on this board, both of which others have witnessed multiple times? I have two fairly new friends on this board who do all they can to help defend me (but they shouldn’t have to) against misogynistic bullies who take our their personal woes and angers about “SCAMERICA” on message board users.
It’s sometimes hard for me participate in discourse because this same guy and two others look up all my activity on this board every day and reply with filthy, obsessive, deranged threats.
And when I finally lash out instead of just reporting the post, I’m the person being harsh? Surely you jest.

1stGenAmerican:
Instead of worrying about me sleeping, go sell more of your filthy ass to white male tourists for pennies. Maybe then you can buy at least one pair of pants to cover your stinking, starving mother’s filthy ass you schizophrenic, drug addicted, broke, starving terrorist wannabe. While you were busy trying to bully and harass me on this board, the one that birthed you was GIVING her stinking ass away piece by piece to the lowest ranking members of Boko Haram. Worry about your own empty, extended, fly covered, growling belly instead of trying to be a failed terrorist bully.

In a video trending online, the wife of Shina Rambo Adeleke, Davidos cousin called out her husband for domestic violence and asking her for money.

She was also heard saying Shinas sister smells. Please watch the video to hear from the horses mouth.

So sad. She must have been badly hurt to say such a thing in public space.

people everywhere prefer to marry their own races. Only a few marry from other races. There are more blacks married to blacks in America than blacks to whites. We are in sexual liberation era you will occasionally get white women that wan to have sex with you but dont want relationship. For the ladies there are many Indians and arabs and some whites who fetishize black women for sex only and not dating

Pic below 17% of marriages in usa were interracial as at 2021

It is because you just arrived. You don't understand the dating scene in Western world yet.

Bahrainguy:
Good day everyone I’ll first apologize for my English.

How did you come up with the country:- I know most GCC countries because I’ve work in UAE before covid spoilt everything.

How did you get across to apply your visa:- due to my experiences, any country that gives Nigeria citizens evisas, you can message the local agent for help. But one must be very careful because so many fake agents lurk around.

How did you mean by Evisas and agent:- I mean countries like Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar etc are countries that provides evisa even I heard South Africa have started issuing evisas too.

How can we know the local agent that’s real;- Well the clue I usually use is for example, I’ll search travel agency in Kuwait on google and google will provide many contacts and email lists of travel agencies I look for the one with good review and ask them for guidelines and prices of visas.

Ok so how much did you do your visa after you’ve gotten your agent:- visit visa to any country is a gamble and to get direct employment visas to GCC countries now is very rare I did mine for 1 month 150BD which I paid deposit of only 20BD that was equivalent to 285k at the rate of 1,900naira black market.

Oh how much is BD to Naira:- on website it’s above 1k but on local exchange it’s 1,900-1980


How did you know the valid of the visa;- well one thing about Bahrain is that you can track everything online for yourself no need stress.

How did you book ticket and boarding; I book Ethiopia at 351k and I hold my BTA for 1,500$

Leonid Slutsky (left), the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, and Viktor Bout showing his membership card at a convention of the party convention in Moscow.

The Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout a.k.a 'merchant of death', who returned home last week in a prisoner exchange for the American basketball star Brittney Griner, has joined Russia's Parliament under pro-Kremlin far-right Liberal Democratic party (LDPR).

In a video posted on telegram, LDPR’s leader, Leonid Slutsky, who was standing next to Bout, said: “I want to thank Viktor Anatolievich [Bout] for the decision he has made and welcome him into the ranks of the best political party in today’s Russia.”

Despite its name, the Liberal Democratic party has, since its foundation in 1991, propagandised an ultranationalist and xenophobic ideology, urging Russia to invade the countries of the former Soviet Union.

The party has also served as a springboard for unsavoury characters into Russian politics. In 2007, Andrei Lugovoi, a former KGB agent who is accused by Britain of murdering the Russian dissident Alexander Litvinenko, gained a seat in the Russian Duma for the party.

Bout, whose release has been presented as a major PR win by Moscow, on Monday told Russian media that he had no immediate plans to participate in “any elections”.

Prominent Russian figures close to the Kremlin welcomed Bout’s entry to the LDPR.

“Viktor Bout is not a person, he is an example of firmness,” said Yevgeny Prigozhin, a powerful Russian businessman and close ally of Vladimir Putin behind the Wagner mercenary group.

“Bout will certainly be good at the head of any existing party and any movement,” Prigozhin added in a statement posted by his catering company, Concord.

The moment he landed in Moscow last week, Bout was on a Kremlin-organised media tour in which he has praised Vladimir Putin and backed Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/12/viktor-bout-221212-59.jpg?quality=75&strip=all
Bout, 56, joined LDPR just days after being released from a US federal prison and returned to Russia.

His first interview in Russia was with the state-backed television channel RT and conducted by Maria Butina, who herself spent more than a year in prison in the US for being an unregistered agent of Russia.

“I am proud that I am a Russian person, and our president is Putin,” Bout told Butina, adding that he kept a picture of Putin in his US prison cell.

Commenting on Russia’s war in Ukraine, Bout told RT: “I know that we will win.”

The former Soviet air force pilot, who allegedly has ties to the Russian intelligence services, claimed that he would have volunteered to go to the frontline if he had the “opportunity and necessary skills”.

“Why did we not do it earlier?” Bout said, referring to Putin’s decision to launch the invasion.

Parroting much of Putin’s recent statements that blasted liberalism, he also predicted the end of western civilisation.

“What is happening in the west is simply the suicide of civilisation … And it may be happening in all areas, with drugs and LGBT+ among them,” said Bout.

The point is this is NOT an intercity train station
It is a metro station. which is just like a glorified bus stop
There is no need for over elaboration

In many cities e.g Amsterdam or Manchester. Birmingham
It is just out in the open on the road with a basic shelter and no "station"
