Google to enlist NSA for "cybersecurity"

Well, there goes my trust in Google. it seems we are going to come to a crossroads regarding the internet as long as Google, Microsoft and other internet companys keep using and allowing the government into their dealings. I just do not buy into their explanation its all for OUR protection. I believe the intel agencys are strongarming these companys for access.

The world's largest Internet search company and the world's most powerful electronic surveillance organization are teaming up in the name of cybersecurity.

Under an agreement that is still being finalized, the National Security Agency would help Google analyze a major corporate espionage attack that the firm said originated in China and targeted its computer networks, according to cybersecurity experts familiar with the matter. The objective is to better defend Google -- and its users -- from future attack.

Google and the NSA declined to comment on the partnership. But sources with knowledge of the arrangement, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the alliance is being designed to allow the two organizations to share critical information without violating Google's policies or laws that protect the privacy of Americans' online communications. The sources said the deal does not mean the NSA will be viewing users' searches or e-mail accounts or that Google will be sharing proprietary data.

Most would agree as would I that the NSA is more than capable of being involved in cyber security. While this move to cyber security appears justified with regard to terrorist hackers it still amazes me that as a nation we have yet to demand, yes I said demand, that the NSA be responsible for identifying corruption and using their technology to rid ourselves of all the crooks, bribes, conspiratorial agendas, Satanist, KKK, eugenics, Communist or just about any one that poses a problem to this nations system of government.

Since the NSA could be used to locate trillions in stolen tax dollars, the NSA would be in a position to locate all the hidden assets and then tie all the dots together and begin to remove the guilty from their dark environments where they think they can wheel and stash away stolen American tax dollars, national secrets, technology and national strategic information vital to other foreign nations.

The point I want to make is that some agency with far reaching intelligence capability should be used to monitor the federal employees of our nation. Anyone doing business with the federal government would also be subject to NSA surveillance as a provision of doing business with the greatest nation on Earth.

End the corruption. Use the NSA or a similar agency, but hold them accountable for ending corruption and bringing criminals to justice. It is more than time for such a use of our intelligence services and a requirement if we are ever to rid ourselves of all internal corruption that exists throughout the system of government. It is the single most needed change that America needs to regain its moral and ethical credibility.

With a Justice Dept. headed by a criminal political puppet, there will be no justice and only cover-ups and obstruction of justice. It is time to introduce truth and justice to all elected officials and begin use our most secret technology to rid ourselves of crooks, criminals and traitors within our system of government.

I agree to but to me, IMHO, its like letting crack dealers watch the evidence room while the cops are out to lunch.
