WE SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU YEARS AGO THAT WE SPY ON EVERYTHING YOU DO AND SAY

The Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has begun the process of reconciliation with the global public, saying that the NSA should have been more transparent about its spying activities. But in doing so Clapper has revealed the agenda behind the Snowden revelations.

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Beast, Clapper said the problems facing the U.S. intelligence community over its collection of phone records could have been avoided. “I probably shouldn’t say this, but I will. Had we been transparent about this from the outset right after 9/11—which is the genesis of the 215 program—and said both to the American people and to their elected representatives, we need to cover this gap, we need to make sure this never happens to us again, so here is what we are going to set up, here is how it’s going to work, and why we have to do it, and here are the safeguards… We wouldn’t have had the problem we had,” Clapper said.

“What did us in here, what worked against us was this shocking revelation,” he said, referring to the first disclosures from Snowden. If the program had been publicly introduced in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, most Americans would probably have supported it. “I don’t think it would be of any greater concern to most Americans than fingerprints. Well people kind of accept that because they know about it. But had we been transparent about it and say here’s one more thing we have to do as citizens for the common good, just like we have to go to airports two hours early and take our shoes off, all the other things we do for the common good, this is one more thing.”

In this DFQ the general public have been terrified by the heads of the spying agencies over the return of British Jihadis fighting alongside and being trained by al Qaeda in Syria without telling the general public that the spying agencies have been encouraging Jihadis to go to Syria to fight alongside and be trained by al Qaeda in the first place). In the USA it is also Syria that is being held up as the next big threat to the US homeland.

Is it just coincidence that:
1. the Snowden revelations telling us that we have been spied on for years are printed on the front page of The Guardian for a whole summer;
2. but The Guardian is part of the Rothschild network of influence;
3. the DFQ and the USA are supporting al Qaeda in Syria;
4. al Qaeda in Syria is being cited as a huge threat requiring stronger surveillance powers for the spying agencies;
5. then Clapper sort of apologises for the NSA spying on us all and everything we do and say, saying that the spying agencies should have told us years ago what they were doing.

Anyone else smell something fishy about all this?
