Running out of Americans to illegally spy on the NSA turned its attention to the European Union and the United Nations to hotbeds of anti-american sentiment. After all if you can't hate on your friends who who's left to hate?
This like the Bush administration illegally tapping phones and conducting searches of private residences and businesses without the proper warrants. I'm sure the U.S. government will justify all of this as an anti-terrorist operation.
The UN headquarters were being wiretapped by American intelligence agency NSA, according to German news magazine Der Spiegel. If confirmed, it would be against a long-standing agreement between the US and the UN.
Germany's Der Spiegel claims to have analyzed secret NSA documents that show that, last summer, the US intelligence agency managed to get access to the video conferencing system used at the United Nations headquarters in New York, leading to "a dramatic improvement of data on video conferencing and our ability to decode that data," according to the document.
The NSA also allegedly caught Chinese intelligence spying on the UN and started analyzing the material China was wiretapping.
The alleged spying activities are illegal. The US has a long-standing agreement with the UN stipulating that the US refrain from covert operations with regards to the UN's activities.
Der Spiegel also claims that the NSA documents it has analyzed show that the NSA spied on the EU even after its move to its new UN embassy in September 2012.
This like the Bush administration illegally tapping phones and conducting searches of private residences and businesses without the proper warrants. I'm sure the U.S. government will justify all of this as an anti-terrorist operation.
