The following leaked slide from Edward Snowden was released today by Glenn Greenwald in his new book, No Place to Hide:

If you can't read the slide, it says:

Balancing the SIGINT exchange equally between US and Israeli needs has been a constant challenge in the last decade, it arguably tilted heavily in favor of Israeli security concerns. 9/11 came, and went, with NSA's only true Third Party CT relationship being driven almost totally by the needs of the partner.

That is a stunning statement. It implies that the signals intelligence exchange between the American and Israeli governments has been driven almost entirely by the NSA giving information to the Israelis, instead of Israel giving information to the U.S. ... even though we were the ones attacked on 9/11.

Remember, the raw data on American citizens collected by the NSA is shared with Israel. As the Guardian reported in September:

The National Security Agency routinely shares raw intelligence data with Israel without first sifting it to remove information about US citizens, a top-secret document provided to the Guardian by whistleblower Edward Snowden reveals.

According to the agreement, the intelligence being shared would not be filtered in advance by NSA analysts to remove US communications. “NSA routinely sends ISNU [the Israeli Sigint National Unit] minimized and unminimized raw collection”, it says.

A much stricter rule was set for US government communications found in the raw intelligence. The Israelis were required to “destroy upon recognition” any communication “that is either to or from an official of the US government“. Such communications included those of “officials of the executive branch (including the White House, cabinet departments, and independent agencies), the US House of Representatives and Senate (member and staff) and the US federal court system (including, but not limited to, the supreme court)”.

This not only raises major privacy concerns for American citizens, but it might mean that Israel is spying on the American Congress and other high-level politicians.

We have nothing against Israel, but - as American citizens - we want our intelligence agencies to put the American people and American security first.

To those saying the blame lies with religion. It's now the jews and christians to blame?

Religious believers can become fanatics for cause of state sometimes using them for the "boogy man" such as CIA sponsored Al Queda. Examine the ties to Bin Laden as a CIA operative for example. Many members in the military are beyond outrage of funding Al Queda to destabilize Syria currently. Sometimes, it is a rallying cry for christians to go to war to defeat those Muslim "terrorists" or Hitler's occultism. While I admire the teachings of Christ, I cannot admire pastors or priests that do not condemn wars of conquest and ask for prayer for there leaders waging it!

One can read the new testament in the bible on there one and see Christ's stance on self-defense. As for the torah, the first five books of the bible what is so unclear about "You will not murder" in the ten commandments?

The US was the reserve currency peg, IMF has stated clearly China is and now it is mere semantics of what organization does what in banking. The peg nation is also responsible for policing global trade. Especially energy resources.

Every peg nation becomes empire. That is the reasoning behind the establishment of Israel. It wasn't out of goodness of heart. It was granted power as a strategic power center in the middle east to protect or punish oil producers that didn't play nice. Look at China recently drilling off Vietnam and ramming there boats. Protection of global energy will increasingly become there responsibility.

The AIPAC lobby relates directly to security of mid-east oil. People globally are awakening to this model of what a reserve currency peg nation does. It has been discussed in Central Banking and politics about free floating currencies but that is a wish list and some decent men in banking with half-hearted intent. It is truly hard for any of us to argue against and move against personal interests.

If American leadership like President Woodrow Wilson in 1913 had listened to the founding fathers and saw the trouble of letting a corrupt model in America would still be a free country instead of a police state. Fascism and the concepts of liberty, freedom and justice do not mix! Plus Central Banking like the Federal Reserve gets a skim on YOUR labor. Government loves it, they can extend and pretend on balanced budgets and also personally profit on the bezzle. There is no legitimate purpose for Central Banking.

They used to claim it was for financially stability but there were 11 recessions and two depressions since 1913. Then it was lender of last resort. Private banks lend to anyone with credit and they do. But why should American taxpayers be responsible for defaults of loans to Russia in the 90's or Europe recently or private megacorps like General Electric?!? Why won't Congress authorize auditing the Federal Reserve, our private Central Bank? Its because YOU are being forced by inflation and direct taxation to pay for others failure. That IS NOT CAPITALISM. Wilson did admit he regretted being a corrupt facist dickhead before he died by letting them in.

I do not care what religious denomination any group claims to be. Usery and fraud is forbidden in the torah so denomination is irrelevent because they don't follow it. Stealing my labor to pay off bad bets is criminal. Paying taxes to a private central bank is criminal. There value proposition is to lie for governments. No value but to politicians skimming off the take.

The only ones stupid enough to blame religion for a model of graft and deceit is those that personally benefit from a soft and hidden form of slavery. Plantation owners argued there own interest too regarding slaves.

The central bank model conquered the globe. That is the true glo
