EE.UU. también espió al Vaticano y al Papa Francisco.
(CNNMéxico) — Los servicios de inteligencia de Estados Unidos espiaron las comunicaciones telefónicas del Vaticano y del Papa, según el semanario italiano Panorama, en su edición que publicará este jueves.
Entre los 46 millones de llamadas telefónicas interceptadas en Italia "hay también [comunicaciones] desde y hacia el Vaticano", escribió Panorama, que no cita fuentes, en un artículo enviado por anticipación este miércoles a diversos medios.
Entre las conversaciones escuchadas estaban, según la revista, las que se producían en la Domus Internationalis Paolo VI de Roma, la residencia donde se alojó el entonces arzobispo de Buenos Aires, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, antes de que comenzase el cónclave que le eligió papa el 13 de marzo de 2013.
La publicación recuerda que el nombre del ahora papa Francisco ya había surgido en los documentos filtrados por el portal WikiLeaks de Julian Assange, el cual reveló despachos de los servicios secretos estadounidenses en los que se hablaba de Bergoglio como uno de los papables en el cónclave de 2005.
Además, entre los espiados se encontraría el presidente del Instituto para las Obras de Religión (IOR), conocido como el Banco del Vaticano, el alemán Ernst von Freyberg, que fue nombrado en febrero de 2013 por Benedicto XVI tras los escándalos que salpicaron a su predecesor.

NBC/WSJ Poll: Obama Approval Rating at All-Time Low. Wednesday, 30 Oct 2013 07:33 PM By Greg Richter
President Barack Obama's approval numbers have hit a record low, according to a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll.
Only 42 percent approve of Obama's job performance, according the poll. That's down 5 points from early October. And 51 percent disapprove of his performance, which is tied for his all-time high disapproval.
And for the first time in the poll's history, Obama's personal approval ratings were lower than his disapproval ratings. The poll showed that 41 percent approve of him on a personal level and 45 percent disapprove.
"Personally and politically, the public's assessment is two thumbs down," Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart told NBC. Hart and Republican pollster Bill McInturff conducted the survey.
Editor’s Note: New 'Obamacare Survival Guide' Reveals Dangers Ahead for Your Healthcare
The pollsters told NBC that no single issue is responsible for the declines. Rather, a combination of the NSA spying scandal, questions over his "red line" comment on attacking Syria, the government shutdown, and problems with the Obamacare website rollout all played a roll.
In fact, the poll showed the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, also slipping in approval along with the Republican Party and Congress as a whole.
Thirty-seven percent now view the healthcare law as a good idea, with 47 percent opposing it. The previous poll showed 38 percent in favor and 43 against.
The White House and congressional Democrats had been touting the law's growing popularity as critics blasted the troubled rollout.
But in a separate question, 40 percent say they are now less confident about Obamacare after learning more about it. Only 9 percent are more confident. Exactly half said there has been no change in their thinking.

amenper: No Estoy contra Obama
Cuando leyeron este encabezamiento, sé que deben de haber sonreído y pueden haber creído que es una broma. Pero es la realidad, no estoy específicamente contra Obama, estoy visceralmente opuesto al socialismo. Como Obama es el peón del socialismo en los Estados Unidos, por eso lo critico.
Pero realmente Obama no es el único, ni siquiera pienso que es el principal componente para el camino del socialismo dentro de la democracia americana.
La pieza central del gobierno de Obama, es el Seguro de Salud Socialista Universal, no es nada nuevo, solamente la presentación es diferente, algo así como el socialismo era la dictadura del proletariado y ahora el socialismo del siglo XXI es la dictadura disfrazada de democracia representativa.
Cuando los Clinton tomaron el poder, Hillary estaba embriagada de poder, una embriaguez justificada, ya que el oscuro gobernador de Arkansas había hecho el milagro de derrotar a sus contendientes demócratas en las primarias y después ganar las elecciones ante el presidente titular. Se creían capaces de todo.
amenper: La estupidez tiene sus límites .
No hay manera que pueda creer que este nivel de incompetencia sea posible. Tengo que creer que esto es hecho por diseño con una agenda oculta para retrasar la aplicación de Obamacare.
Ellos no están preparados en estos momentos y esto es sólo una manera de tomar tiempo para comenzar cuando sientan que es apropiado.
WASHINGTON, 29 de Oct (Reuters) - Centro de datos del gobierno estadounidense anunciaron que de nuevo el Obamacare 'experimentaba una interrupción' el martes por la tarde.
Fue la segunda parada en tres días.
El operador de centro de datos, Verizon, dijo que estaba haciendo mantenimiento en el sistema.
"Acceso salud CT fue informado por CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services) y que el centro de servicios de datos Federal está experimentando una interrupción," dijo un comunicado del departamento de estado de Connecticut.
Un fallo similar el domingo detuvo la inscripción en línea en el sitio CuidadoDeSalud.gov federal así como sitios similares del estado.
Una portavoz del Departamento de salud y servicios humanos de los Estados Unidos (HSS) declinó comentar el desarrollo y refiere a llamadas a Verizon.
Terremark Verizon opera el centro de servicios de datos que une los mercados de seguros de salud en línea con numerosas agencias federales y puede verificar la identidad de la gente, la ciudadanía y otros hechos.
"Ahora estamos en el mantenimiento de infraestructura de la empresa, que se debe completar durante la noche. Prevemos que la infraestructura consolidada ayudará a eliminar tiempos muertos de aplicación,"dijo un comunicado de Jeff Nelson, Vicepresidente de comunicaciones corporativas globales de Verizon Enterprise Solutions.
Dijo que el mantenimiento se había realizado a petición de un funcionario de HHS, pero no mencionó nombre a la persona.
Hillary que es socialista sin lugar a dudas, y que es tolerada por el resbaloso Willy, siempre y cuando le permita sus resbalones extramaritales, trató de imponer la medicina socializada, que según el librito comunista debe de ser el primer paso hacia la socialización total en un régimen democrático.
Pero Hillary no tuvo la habilidad para presentar el plan de una manera que pudiera implementarse. Quizás porque en su embriaguez fue muy directa, o porque el pueblo en ese momento rechazaba todo lo que oliera a socialismo. Hay que oír lo que dijo Hillary en aquella época y copio textualmente:
"Si a los americanos se permiten demasiada discreción sobre cómo gastan sus dólares de atención de la salud", la señora Clinton dijo: "creemos que las personas se centrará en ahorrar dinero y no conseguirán el cuidado para sus hijos y a sí mismos que necesitan...
"El dinero tiene que ir al gobierno federal porque el gobierno federal gastará ese dinero mejor".
Fue demasiado sincera, los actuales implementadores del Obamacare son más discretos y ponen a su peón Obama a decir cosas como que todo el mundo tendrá derecho a mantener su seguro si quiere tenerlo. Lo cual no es mentira, es simplemente un sofisma, si quieres mantener el seguro que tienes puedes conservarlo, lo único es que vas a tener que pagar tres veces lo que te cuesta ahora si quieres tener la misma cobertura.
Esto es importante, "con todos los problemas técnicos del Obamacare, al menos una parte está trabajando muy bien en la agenda".
La ley está desmantelando sistemáticamente el mercado de seguros individuales, como sus arquitectos previnieron desde el principio. Los millones de estadounidenses que reciben avisos de terminación porque su cobertura actual no se ajusta a las reglas del Departamento de salud y servicios humanos pueden no darse cuenta es por diseño, los liberales afirman que el nuevo seguro debería costar más, porque es mejor, al menos según lo definido por el paternalismo liberal.
Como tengo el Medicare, mi callo no ha sido pisado todavía, ya me llegará el momento como a los más jóvenes ahora, sin embargo mi seguro de "long term health care" ya me avisó, no iba a subir la prima, pero que los beneficios cambiaban por el aumento de los costos, y que si quería mantener los beneficios originales, teníamos que pagar $200.00 más trimestrales por mi esposa y yo. (¿así que no me subieron las primas?, vaya sofisma) Pues como puedo pagarlo y después de haber estado pagando el seguro por más de veinte años, no quise perder los beneficios a esta edad, y estoy pagando la nueva prima, pero si no hubiera podido pagarlo, me jodía o quizás hubiera podido esperar a ver si el Obamacare me ofrecía algo..
Algo parecido es lo que está pasando a los millones de personas con sus pólizas de salud individuales.
Pero la verdadera razón por la que quieren que las pólizas existente cuesten más es para conducir tantas personas como sea posible fuera de este mercado y en los intercambios subsidiados del Obamacare . Esto es lo que dijo Hillary y esta es la esencia de la socialización de la medicina.
Por eso es que hay veces que pienso que quizás también las fallas del Website pudieran ser por diseño. Obamacare se está despretigiando ahora, pero cuando se arregle la Web, la gente se olvidará del incidente, y entonces será el momento indicado para vender las pólizas del Obamacare.
El momento para que las personas compren los seguros del Obamacare no es ahora, pero cuando la mayor canditad de personas pierdan o le sean demasiado costosas las pólizas privadas que tienen ahora.
La prensa política está informando esto como un sorprendente descubrimiento, y suponemos que es así si usted creía las promesas del señor Obama.
Pero el propósito ha estado ahí para cualquiera que quisiera mirar.. No es un accidente. Es el resultado de la demanda liberal que todos tienen que tener esencialmente la misma cobertura y que el gobierno debe dictaminar qué esa cobertura es y cuánto cuesta.
Este control político es el sistema nervioso central de Obamacare, y es el primer paso hacia el socialismo, del control total del ciudadano, y es por eso tanta gente no puede mantener el seguro les gusta.
Nada es nuevo, es lo mismo que propuso Hillary en 1994, pero más elaborado.
Por eso no hay que leer la ley que hicieron tan confusa y grande para que nadie la leyera.
No hay que leerla si uno tiene el entendimiento por la experiencia de los que es la medicina socializada y por la experiencia de haber vivido el intento de implementarla con el Hillarycare.
Hillary es la madre de la medicina socializada en los Estados Unidos, el hijo le abortó.
Obamacare, está tratando de que este hijo no le aborte ahora.

Microsoft, Amazon: Obama Turned Down Our Help on Obamacare Site
Tuesday, 29 Oct 2013 07:11 PM
The Obama administration appears to have passed up offers from Amazon and Microsoft to help fix the federal government's troubled healthcare enrollment website, according to documents released on Tuesday by a Republican-led congressional investigating committee.
An Oct. 7 inquiry from Amazon's subsidiary Amazon Web Services Inc. was turned down by two senior officials at the Department of Health and Human Services, which is overseeing implementation of President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law, according to copies of emails provided by the House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
Microsoft also contacted HHS and the White House with offers of "technical expertise and assistance," but the company has not provided any such services, a Microsoft representative said in an Oct. 25 letter to the committee. The letter did not say whether the administration had responded to Microsoft's offers.
Editor’s Note: New 'Obamacare Survival Guide' Reveals Dangers Ahead for Your Healthcare
Representative Darrell Issa, the Republican chairman of the committee and a dogged critic of the Obama administration, last week wrote to eight technology companies asking whether they had been involved in what the administration had called a "tech surge" aimed at fixing the website, Healthcare.gov.
The oversight committee released some of the companies' responses.
Republicans have long been opposed to the 2010 Affordable Care Act, known as "Obamacare," and have started their own congressional probe into the role of the White House in the Oct. 1 rollout of the website. It is a critical tool of the reforms, meant to help the uninsured get medical coverage, but it has been riddled with snags.
The Obama administration said earlier this month it was bringing in high-tech experts to sort out the website, but it has given few details of who may be involved, other than to announce last week that Quality Software Services Inc, or QSSI, will serve as a general contractor to oversee repairs.
"We wrote to these companies because the administration said there was a tech surge underway but was hazy on the details," said Caitlin Carroll, an Issa spokeswoman.
The responses "raise even more questions about who at HHS is doing what to solve the problems" with the website, she said. There was no immediate comment from HHS.
Issa has subpoenaed QSSI, which is a unit of health insurer UnitedHealth Group and also has a technology contract related to the website, for documents related to the project.
"SOME CHALLENGES"
An Amazon representative wrote to the committee on Oct. 28 to describe the company's contacts with the administration about the website.
Amazon sent the panel copies of emails, showing an employee of Amazon Web Services Inc (AWS) emailed two HHS officials on Oct. 7 saying, "I hear there are some challenges with Healthcare.gov. Is there anything we can do to help?"
HHS' Chief Technology Officer Bryan Sivak replied to Amazon by email on Oct. 8: "I wish there was. I actually wish there was something I could do to help."
Editor’s Note: New 'Obamacare Survival Guide' Reveals Dangers Ahead for Your Healthcare
HHS' Chief Information Officer Frank Baitman replied to Amazon on Oct. 7, "Thanks for the offer! Unfortunately, as you know, I haven't been involved with Healthcare.gov. I'm still trying to figure out how I can help, and may very well reach out for assistance should the opportunity present itself."
Issa has written to Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Verizon Enterprise Solutions, Oracle, Expedia , Apple, and Kayak, Carroll said.

George Will: Let Obamacare Crash and Burn. Tuesday, 29 Oct 2013 06:58 PM By Bill Hoffmann
Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist George Will says President Barack Obama has, by his actions, confirmed the Republican view that the Affordable Care Act is unworkable.
"It seems to me the president has been emphatic that the Obamacare can be implemented as written. Republicans have said it can't, and then the president confirmed the Republican view by his starkly and unambiguously illegal delay of the employer mandate," Will told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.
"That employer mandate starting date was written into the law. The law cannot be changed by presidents unilaterally. It just can't be done," he said Tuesday.
Editor’s Note: New 'Obamacare Survival Guide' Reveals Dangers Ahead for Your Healthcare
Story continues below video.
But now that the Affordable Care Act is law, Will said, he agrees with Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy and others that the best way forward may be to let the Affordable Care Act crash on its own.
"The first thing I'd say is . . . he's embraced it, he wants to go forward. Let it. The quickest way to refute all the arguments for Obamacare is to experience Obamacare," Will said.
"My general feeling is stand back, be quiet, and, if anything, make the president ask — beg, really — Congress to rescue him from his own handiwork."
Will also weighed in on the name of the Washington Redskins professional football team and whether it should be changed after charges it is racist toward American Indians.
"First, there's an empirical question: is it a fact that a substantial number of Native Americans are offended by this? We know they're not offended, really, by the Florida State Seminoles, by the tomahawk chop of the Atlanta Braves, by the name of the Cleveland Indians . . . go down the list," said Will, a Fox News commentator.

"There are all kinds of names deriving from the Native American heritage. So, first, empirically, prove to me that a substantial number of Native Americans are offended by this and I will reconsider it.
"There are all kinds of various white liberals purporting to speak for Native Americans. Let's hear from the Native Americans," Will said.

Ann Coulter to Newsmax: Troubled Obamacare Ripe for Defunding
Tuesday, 29 Oct 2013 06:45 PM By Bill Hoffmann
Ann Coulter has a message for Republican lawmakers smarting over the continuing and troubled rollout of the Affordable Care Act: Now's the time to band together and try to defund it again.
"The Democrats absolutely have to pass a delay now," the noted conservative commentator told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.
Urgent: Should the House Have Agreed to Debt Deal? Vote Here
Story continues below video.
Coulter said she agreed with a recent column by Newsmax Media CEO and founder Christopher Ruddy that Republicans should not try to delay the Affordable Care Act's implementation, so that voters can see what a disaster it is.
"So this is the time for Republicans to come roaring back and have the House pass a bill completely defunding it — not agreeing to a delay," she said.
Coulter, author of the new book, "Never Trust a Liberal Over 3 – Especially a Republican," is furious with Democrats who are blasting Republicans for their criticism of the healthcare law's bungled website.
"Democrats have the audacity to say, 'Oh you're upset about the website failing when you want it to fail anyway,'" she said.
"No, we said this would happen and it's happening — and as much as it's like Christmas every day, with every aspect of this law becoming a disaster — [the] people who supported it and supported Obama discovered, 'Oops, we were lied to.'
"Not by the Republicans. We warned you America. But it's not enough that it's just a disaster."
Editor’s Note: New 'Obamacare Survival Guide' Reveals Dangers Ahead for Your Healthcare
Coulter said Republicans must begin to concentrate on winning back the Senate and on reinvigorating the federal government.
"Government programs don't fall on their own. We have to elect representatives who will specifically repeal these monstrosities," she said.
"Duh, that's why I keep saying, let's look at Arkansas, West Virginia, Louisiana, Alaska, Montana, Minnesota. We can win back the Senate if Republicans set their minds to it and stop the internal fight."

Samitier: CBS Uncovers the Cover-Up
Dear Conservative Friend,
President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton can no longer hide via the mainstream media about their stonewalling of the tragic Benghazi over-run by terrorists over one year ago!
This past Sunday, CBS News “60 Minutes” did a tell-all program about the Benghazi debacle.
The bottom line: the White House and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton absolutely “whitewashed” the entire terrorist attack!
Sadly, as admitted by former Deputy Ambassador Greg Hicks, he was told that very hour of the attack that NO reinforcements were coming!
Sixty Minutes absolutely blew the lid off the can of Benghazi. It was almost hard to imagine what the report indicated.
These new revelations underscored the point we have already made several times: IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION COVER-UP!
The interviews last Sunday for sure pointed that that travesty!
We must notify every Member of the United States Congress that the Benghazi attack was an al-Qaeda attack that the Obama administration originally tried to hide. OVER ONE YEAR LATER, the families of four slain governmental employees, including Ambassador Stevens, must be told the TRUTH!
No more cover-ups. No more LIES! No more “fudging.”
It was an outright attack and the United States was totally UNPREPARED!
Worse yet, we did NOT back up our security forces at all!!
The 60 Minutes opening was as follows: “When Chris Stevens was killed in Benghazi, Libya, on the anniversary of September 11th last year, it was only the sixth time that the United States had lost an ambassador to its enemies. The events of that night have been overshadowed by misinformation, confusion and intense partisanship. But for those who lived through it, there's nothing confusing about what happened, and they share a sense of profound frustration because they say they saw it coming.
“Tonight, you will hear for the first time from a security officer who witnessed the attack. He calls himself, Morgan Jones, a pseudonym he's using for his own safety. A former British soldier, he's been helping to keep U.S. diplomats and military leaders safe for the last decade. On a night he describes as sheer hell, Morgan Jones snuck into a Benghazi hospital that was under the control of al Qaeda terrorists, desperate to find out if one of his close friends from the U.S. Special Mission was the American he'd been told was there.”
It turned out to be Ambassador Stevens!
This was the first time in 33 years that a United States Ambassador died as a result of terrorism!
Yet, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said: “What difference does it make?” when challenged in an earlier congressional hearing, it actually pointed to an all-out cover-up of the terrorist attack.
According to Obama and Clinton, during the elections, Benghazi was “just another phony scandal.” Tell that to the family of the four slain government employees who gave their all for the country!
60 Minutes tweeted this past weekend: “Contrary to earlier White House statements, Benghazi was a planned, sophisticated attack by al-Qaeda against the barely protected American compound. A security official says the attack in Benghazi was no surprise because al-Qaeda had posted their plots against the United Kingdom and the United States online.
Please urge every Member of the United States Congress that the Benghazi attack was an al-Qaeda attack that the Obama administration originally tried to hide. OVER ONE YEAR LATER, the families of four slain governmental employees, including Ambassador Stevens, must be told the TRUTH!
Within the 60 Minutes Sunday expose, here was a very damaging discussion between Lara Logan and Greg Hicks:
Lara Logan: You have this conversation with the defense attaché. You ask him what military assets are on their way. And he says–
Greg Hicks: Effectively, they’re not. And I– for a moment, I just felt lost. I just couldn’t believe the answer. And then I made the call to the Annex chief, and I told him, ‘Listen, you’ve got to tell those guys there may not be any help coming.’
Lara Logan: That’s a tough thing to understand. Why?
Greg Hicks: It just is. We–, for us, for the people that go out onto the edge, to represent our country, we believe that if we get in trouble, they’re coming to get us. That our back is covered. To hear that it’s not, it’s a terrible, terrible experience.
Who gave the stand-down order? Where was the commander-in-chief during the seven hours of the attacks? These are among the many lingering questions that the Obama administration refuses to answer. It is still stonewalling, but the stones are beginning to crumble.
Join the conversation on Facebook!
Greg Hicks, the 22-year Foreign Service veteran, who earlier testified before Congress, that he was “in the process of trying to frame a third request for additional security assets. But it was not allowed to go forward.”
YES! Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her minions did not permit the request for more security to go forward. You see the results. And yet she has the gall to try to run for the presidency of the United States in 2016! Can you believe that?
According to the 60 Minutes dialogue, basically, the Obama administration willfully ABANDONED the rescue of American employees, especially an American ambassador!
Inexcusable!
The scathing report by CBS must put Obama and Clinton “on the ropes.”
As the al-Qaeda contingency announced at the beginning of the terrorist raid: “WE ARE HERE TO KILL AMERICANS!”
Where was security? Who called for the military response stand-down?
These are much more important than just questions!
And to think the Obama administration dismissed this as a “phony scandal.”
In earlier days, that admission by a commander-in-chief would be cause for “treason and sedition!”
By the way, where was the “Commander-in-Chief” during those seven hours?
Who knows? Basically, NO ONE!
The Obama Administration knew all along that Benghazi was a terror attack!
This 60 Minutes expose is considered an “inconvenient truth” for President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
This scathing report will come back to haunt Hillary Clinton!
AND WE TRULY HOPE IT DOES!
In an interview last week, former Vice-President Dick Cheney said of Hillary Clinton: “She clearly wasn’t hands on, and now she doesn’t want to be hands on. And she’s doing everything she can to avoid responsibility for what clearly fell into her bailiwick. And what I always recall is her testimony saying, ‘What difference does it make?’ And the fact of the matter is it makes a huge difference!”
FAX Congress NOW! Urge every Member of the United States Congress that the Benghazi attack was an al-Qaeda attack that the Obama administration originally tried to hide. OVER ONE YEAR LATER, the families of four slain governmental employees, including Ambassador Stevens, must be told the TRUTH!
Agreeing that the Benghazi event was a supposed “phony scandal,” the left-wing Media Matters, funded by George Soros (surprise!!), have released a book entitled “THE BENGHAZI HOAX!” How tragic! What a slap in the face to the family of Ambassador Stevens!
President Obama and his minions also continue to BLOCK those Benghazi survivors from testifying before the United States Congress.
In a direct response to this surprising, tell-all expose by CBS News, United States Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) demanded: “I am tired of hearing form people on television, and reading about (Benghazi) in books. I will now block ALL appointments from the White House until the Obama administration makes the Benghazi survivors available for testimony before Congress!”
U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham took it one step further: “ To Speaker Boehner: Please, for God’s sake, form a joint committee to get away from the blame game and find out exactly what happened!”
Of course, we have been saying this to you for over ONE YEAR!
Bombed out American Embassy as it appeared weeks after terrorist bombing!
Please help get to the truth of the Benghazi debacle NOW. Please fax today!
All we want is the outright TRUTH!
Please tell every Member of the United States Congress to form a “Joint Committee” to FINALLY get to the bottom of this Benghazi debacle!
Sincerely,
Joe Otto

Report: NSA Spied on Google, Yahoo Accounts. Wednesday, 30 Oct 2013 08:26 PM By Cathy Burke
The National Security Agency secretly has been collecting information from hundreds of millions of Google and Yahoo user accounts daily around the world — many of them belonging to Americans, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.
The bombshell report detailing how the NSA broke into the main communications links connecting the Silicon Valley giants' data centers around the world was based on documents from ex-NSA leaker Edward Snowden and interviews with officials, the Post reported.
"It's an arms race," Eric Grosse, vice president for security engineering at Google, told the Post last month, before revelation of the infiltration. He said the company was rushing to encrypt the links between its data centers.
"We see these government agencies as among the most skilled players in this game," Grosse said.
Yahoo has not announced plans to encrypt its data-center links.
The Post account comes in the wake of months of reports, also based on Snowden's leaks, that have shown the spy agency has routinely tracked patterns in emails and phone calls of Americans.
The Post said a top-secret report dated Jan. 9 noted the NSA's acquisitions directorate sends the enormous cache of records from Yahoo and Google internal networks to data warehouses at the agency's Fort Meade headquarters.
In the 30 days before that, the report said, collectors had processed and sent back 181,280,466 new records — including "metadata" that would indicate who sent or received emails and when, as well as content such as text, audio and video, the Post reported.
The NSA's principal tool to exploit the data links is a project called MUSCULAR, operated jointly with the agency's British counterpart, the Government Communications Headquarters, the Post reported.
The NSA and the GCHQ are copying entire data flows through fiber-optic cables carrying information between Google and Yahoo data centers, the Post said.
The Post noted the NSA, under a separate program, already has access to Google and Yahoo user accounts through a court-approved process.
The NSA is capable of high-tech spying, but hasn't been known to routinely use it against U.S. companies, the Post noted.
In a statement, the NSA said it is "focused on discovering and developing intelligence about valid foreign intelligence targets only."
"NSA applies Attorney General-approved processes to protect the privacy of U.S. persons — minimizing the likelihood of their information in our targeting, collection, processing, exploitation, retention, and dissemination," it told the Post.
Google's chief legal officer, David Drummond, said in a statement the company has "long been concerned about the possibility of this kind of snooping" and has not provided the government with access to its systems.
"We are outraged at the lengths to which the government seems to have gone to intercept data from our private fiber networks, and it underscores the need for urgent reform," he said.
At Yahoo, a spokeswoman said, "We have strict controls in place to protect the security of our data centers, and we have not given access to our data centers to the NSA or to any other government agency."
The NSA already gathers huge volumes of online communications records by legally compelling U.S. technology companies, including Yahoo and Google, to turn over any data that matches court-approved search terms, under a program called Prism.
That program — first disclosed by the Post and The Guardian newspaper in Britain — is authorized under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and overseen by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the Post reported.
But outside the United States, statutory restrictions on surveillance seldom apply and the FISC has no jurisdiction.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has acknowledged Congress conducts little oversight of intelligence-gathering under an executive order that defines the basic powers and responsibilities of the intelligence agencies.
In its statement, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence denied it was using executive authority to "get around the limitations" imposed by FISA.
To obtain free access to data center traffic, the NSA had to circumvent gold-standard security measures.
Google "goes to great lengths to protect the data and intellectual property in these centers," The Post reported, quoting one of its blog posts.
Google and Yahoo also pay for premium data links, designed to be faster, more reliable and more secure, it noted.
It's not clear how much data from Americans is collected and how much is retained.

Urgent: Should Obamacare Be Repealed? Vote Here Now!
Tea Party Republican Jim Wheeler Would Vote for Slavery?
By Michael Minkoff / 31 October 2013
Outrage is mounting against Nevada Republican Jim Wheeler after he reiterated in an interviewthat he would “vote for slavery” if that’s what his constituency wanted him to do. Wheeler responded later to the inevitable outcry with an explanation that his comments were to prove a point—that he is elected to represent his constituency, no questions asked. He further explained that he is not personally in favor of slavery, but of course, in the eyes of leftists worldwide, every white man in a cowboy hat is for re-instituting slavery, so no “reasonable” person has been willing to let his gaff slide. According to the outrage-fueled media, Wheeler just aired his true feelings about slavery. He apparently said what all Tea Party Republicans would say if they were honest.
Beyond the most obvious point here—that Wheeler should have avoided making such a stupid public statement—the fact is that no one on the left side of the aisle in reality actually disagrees with him. Most of them have voted for slavery due to popular demand. In fact, most of them have voted for slavery even when most everyone in their constituency, and the country, told them notto. The plain fact is that we have more slavery now than we ever had in 1861, and the reason for this slavery, ironically enough, is that the American majority—the liberal constituency, in other words—has clamored for it. American parasites asked for slavery, and their representatives dutifully complied. Let me explain.
Just what is slavery? Let’s not think of slavery strictly in the connotative context of race and American history—that form of slavery died, though leftists love to dig up its bones and burn it in effigy when it suits their purposes. But no, let’s let that dog lie for now. Let’s think about what slavery actually is: a nearly absolute restriction of one’s ability to make choices for one’s own life, usually in return for security. What then is cradle to grave civil welfare, also known as socialism, but—slavery? In other words, what is the current American system but a system of slavery? Does the exchange of a private master for a civil one make slavery any less immoral? Most of us are slaves even now—especially the majority of voters for the leftist machine. They do the heavy lifting for the totalitarian government, and in return, the civil government takes care of them.
Slavery is the governmental norm now. Most of us aren’t allowed to make choices for ourselves in most areas of our lives, whether it’s healthcare, parenting, employment, etc., because our slave masters in Washington make those choices for us. They know what’s good for us, and we exchanged freedom for security. That’s slavery. We voted for it, so we got it. Not all of us have voted for it, of course. But the self-sufficient American minority still has to suffer under the system nonetheless. And let’s make no bones about it: The current system is worse in many ways than the antebellum American institution of slavery.
Whereas antebellum slaveholders had a private interest in the happiness and health of their slaves, civil slaveholders in the new slavery system have neither the paternal fondness, financial incentive, managerial competence, or personal involvement to make sure their slaves are truly taken care of. So, in many ways, the current system of slavery is more onerous and even less just than the old one. Does that mean I want the old system back? Of course not! I don’t wanteither form of slavery. But I’m also not going to sit here pretending that what we’ve got now is somehow better. The new institution of slavery is not morally superior to the old one just because it isn’t willing to call itself what it is.
I cry foul. Wheeler is none too smart for saying what he said, no doubt. And, on a side note, his job actually isn’t to do whatever his constituency wants. His job is to uphold the laws of the landbased on the interpretation of those laws which he shares with the people that voted for him. He cannot break the law of the land even if everyone in his district asks him to. In both its former and current instantiations, slavery is illegal and unconstitutional. If Wheeler voted for slavery, he would be breaking his oath of office. And his colleagues already are breaking their oaths of office by upholding the current socialistic system. Slavery may be what the majority of Americans really want. Slavery is certainly what they’ve gotten. But that doesn’t make it right.
But how do we get rid of it? A nearly total collapse of American civilization was necessary to rid us of the former slavery; I can’t imagine the current slavery will end any differently.

Justice and State departments blocking access to survivors of Benghazi attack
By Catherine Herridge
Published October 31, 2013FoxNews.comFacebook1173 Twitter498 LinkedIn2The Justice and State departments are now citing a year-old FBI investigation and a future criminal prosecution to block access to survivors of last year’s Benghazi terror attack.
In an Oct. 28 letter to Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.,the State Department’s Assistant Secretary for Legislative Affairs, Julia Frifield, refers to "significant risks" and "serious concerns about having the survivors of the attack submit to additional interviews."
Graham has been asking since last year for the FBI’s transcripts of interviews with State Department and CIA survivors who were evacuated to Germany after the Sep.11 attack on the U.S. consulate.
He and other Republicans believe the transcripts will show the survivors told the FBI it was a terrorist attack and made no mention of a video or anti-U.S. demonstration at the consulate.
This intelligence was likely available to the president, his national security team and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, who five days after the assault blamed it on an anti-U.S. demonstration and inflammatory video.
"You can't hide behind a criminal investigation," Graham told reporters during a news conference on Capitol Hill. "That's not a good reason to deny the Congress witness statements 48 hours after the attack."
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and its Republican Chairman, Darell Issa, recently interviewed – against the Justice Department’s wishes -- two State Department security agents who have firsthand knowledge of the attack, leading one Democratic lawmaker to predict the move would create inconsistencies and complicate a trial.
"As a prosecutor, you never want your witnesses to be interviewed by multiple sources. It just lends itself to the possibility of unintentional conflicts within their statements," Rep.Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a member of the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News.
"It concerns me that that was not a higher priority for the chairman, to make sure that we could bring these people to justice, than to carry on this political exercise."
But waiting for a criminal prosecution and appeal to be wrapped up, according to Republicans, doesn't pass the sniff test.
"So we are going to wait three years when we had a terrorist attack, which is very different than your average criminal case that Senator Graham talked about, to get the truth and think about what we know to prevent future terrorist attacks?" asked Sen.Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H.
Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., renewed his call for a select committee, lawmakers also cited the reporting of Fox News, followed by CBS’ “60 Minutes,” that the main Benghazi suspects have strong ties to Al Qaeda senior leadership.
At the same time, another Republican turned the tables on the media and its apparent lack of curiosity about Ambassador Chris Stevens' final days.
"Does it bother you whether or not you know why Chris Stevens was in Benghazi?" asked Trey Gowdy, R-S.C. "Do you know why we were the last flag flying in Benghazi after the British had left and the Red Cross had been bombed? Do you know why requests for additional security were denied?"
Rep. Mike McCaul, R-Tex.,chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security and a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry with 84 congressional signatures asking why his department was not offering a reward for tips leading to the Benghazi suspects.
The “Rewards for Justice” program, described on the State Department’s own website as a valuable tool in counter-terrorism cases, offers millions of dollars for information about suspects who are not accused of murdering Americans.
Yet there is no reward for information leading to those who murdered Stevens, Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, and former Navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.
Kerry's staff refuses to discuss it. "I don't have anything new for you on the Al Qaeda suspects from Benghazi," State Department spokesman Jen Psaki told Fox News. .

CRASHES, CANCELLED POLICIES FRACTURE DEMS
As millions of Americans receive notices that their insurance policies are being cancelled because of new ObamaCare regulations, Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., will offer her own bill that will allow Americans to keep their existing plans. When news broke this week that the president for years led voters to believe they could keep their coverage under his insurance overhaul despite knowing otherwise, Republicans pounced offering legislation to block the Obama rules banning low-post, bare-bones coverage. Landrieu, facing a tough re-election fight in a Republican state, is jumping the line with a bill of her own. “The promise was made and it should be kept,” Landrieu told the New Orleans Times-Picayune. “And it was our understanding when we voted for that, that people when they have insurance, could keep what they had. So, I’m going to be working on that fix.” Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., is also preparing his own legislation that would delay by a full year the imposition of ObamaCare fines for those who don’t buy insurance.

Crash drives Obama to new low - President Obama went to Boston to rally his supporters on behalf of his embattled law, but a new WSJ/NBC News poll shows that the failed launch of his signature law is proving a major drag with the public at large. His job approval rating skidded to 42 percent, the lowest-ever rating in the poll. That’s an 11-point drop from his job approval rating following his re-election and 5 points since last month. Disapproval for the health law shot up to 47 percent, 10 points ahead of approval, double the gap from earlier this month.
Scary stuff - It was a dire WSJ/NBC News poll that drove Republicans to the exits on the partial federal shutdown three weeks ago. Now it’s the Democrats turn for a fright. The president’s tanking poll numbers and the surge in concern over the beleaguered ObamaCare rollout will push more moderate Democrats to conclude that their best path is away from the president and his law. Shutdowns are temporary. ObamaCare is forever.
DEADLINE FOR DEMS ON OBAMACARE EXEMPTIONS
Will top Democrats in Congress choose to exempt their staffs from ObamaCare? Today is the deadline for lawmakers to decide whether to grant a hugely valuable exemption to the staffs of congressional committees. House Republicans have all opted to submit themselves and their staffs to the costly provisions of the law. But as today’s deadline approached, Senate Democrats appeared split on the issue. The choice could become a big issue in next year’s elections. With Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and some Republicans pushing a constitutional amendment forbidding Congress from exempting itself from any laws it passes, the stakes are high. As Washington Examiner reports, an embarrassing moment in the testimony of Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, in which she repeatedly and wrongly claimed it would be “illegal” for her to enroll, exemptions are proving to be a hot topic. Chief Congressional CorrespondentMike Emanuel has the story.

TOP HOSPITALS OPT OUT OF OBAMACARE
Despite claims by the Obama administration that insurances companies will be competing for consumer dollars under ObamaCare, a new survey by watchdog.org shows many of America’s top hospitals will accept insurance from only one or two companies. U.S. News and World Report has more.
SECURITY QUESTIONS STILL SHADOW HEALTH SITE
During Wednesday’s hearing on ObamaCare’s Web site, Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., pointed to a Sept. 27 memo to Medicare administrator Marilyn Tavenner from her staff warning of “inherent security risks” stemming from inadequate testing. “You accepted a risk on behalf of every user .?.?. that put their personal financial information at risk because you did not even have the most basic end-to-end test on security of this system,” Rogers said.“It was a theoretical problem that was immediately fixed,” Sebelius responded, acknowledging there was a security flaw that did open the door to hackers. Spokeswoman for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Julie Bataille, said the site was still undergoing security testing, but maintained consumer information remains safe. WaPo has more.
“I’ll tell you, one of the things we’re very concerned about is the security of information that individuals post on that website, knowing that in fact they’re changing the lines or changing some of the information that’s out there literally every single day.” – Rep.

Is the president an unwitting dupe to a secret rats’ nest of uncontrolled government spies and killers? Or is he a megalomaniacal, totalitarian secret micromanager who lies regularly, consistently and systematically about the role of government in our lives?”
ADMINISTRATION BLOCKS ACCESS TO BENGHAZI SURVIVORS
The State Department has again denied a request from lawmakers to interview survivors of the Sept. 11, 2012 raid by Islamists on a U.S. outpost in Benghazi, Libya. In letter to Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., the agency refers to “significant risks” and “serious concerns about having the survivors of the attack submit to additional interviews.” Graham has been asking since last year for the FBI’s transcripts of interviews with State Department and CIA survivors. He and other Republicans are warning the White House they will blockade Federal Reserve nominee Janet Yellen if the administration does not provide the details.

CRUZ STAYING OUT OF GOP PRIMARY FRAY
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told his Republican colleagues during a closed-door lunch that he would not intervene in 2014 GOP primary fights or fundraise for the Senate Conservative Fund, according to the Dallas Morning News. The controversial outside group, founded by former Sen.Jim DeMint, R-S.C., recently announced its support of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s challenger, Matt Bevin, and has gone after Sens. Lindsey Graham R-S.C.,Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., and Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., in attack ads. “The senator has made clear for a while that he’s not going to get involved in incumbent primaries….The senator is simply clarifying what has been true all along,” Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier told the paper.

CUCCINELLI GETS LATE BOOST FROM GOP BIGS
Conservative stars will converge on Virginia to stump for Republican Ken Cuccinelli in the closing days of the commonwealth’s gubernatorial race. Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wis., will rally supporters Saturday in Spotsylvania and Prince William counties. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., will headline two events in Northern Virginia Monday. Libertarian firebrand former Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, will also speak at rally Monday in Richmond.

YOU HAVE A SEAT ON THE PANEL
On Wednesday’s “Special Report with Bret Baier” All-Star Panel, Bing Pulse saw Republicans, Democrats, independents and women all agree with Charles Krauthammer’s assertion that the ability for consumers to keep their existing insurance is an “extremely important element” of ObamaCare and that it was key to its passage. Krauthammer’s remark also drew the highest viewer response, with 43,000 votes per minute. Viewers across the political spectrum disagreed with Juan Williams when he called the 5 percent of Americans losing their insurance under ObamaCare a small amount of people.
Viewer interaction was high during discussion of Health and Human Services SecretaryKathleen Sebelius’ Congressional testimony. Williams drew strong and intense disagreement when he called the hearing “pure theater” and dismissed security concerns raised by Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., with Democrats disagreeing more than Republicans. Bing Pulse measured 260,000 viewer votes during the discussion.

CLUNKER FOR CLUNKERS
It turns out the Obama administration’s “Cash for Clunkers” program was a clunker as a job creator, energy saver and emissions reducer according to a study by the liberal Brookings Institute. The 2009 $3 billion government sponsored car-buying voucher program cost $1.4 million for each job created, dropped gas consumption by only “about 2 to 8 days worth of current usage,” and resulted in minimal “emissions reduction.”

My hope is that you will step up as a parent and ration candy this Halloween and not allow your child to continue these unhealthy eating habits.”
AND NOW A WORD FROM CHARLES…
“I would say that what’s really at stake here, is that if this thing really goes south, if ObamaCare truly self-destructs, I don’t know that it’s certain but I would say right now it is more than likely, it would really set back American liberalism for a decade at least…That’s why I think the liberals are running scared…It’s not just one election, it’s the whole ideology that the government knows best.” --Charles Krauthammer on “The Kelly File.” Watch Here.
