    With all the surveillance that the NSA does via satellite, surely there is evidence stored to show the source of this. But the NSA can't say because it might reveal the extent of their spying. Guess they would have to leak it to some Australian living in an embassy.

      NSA is almost only signals intelligence (phones, Internet, wireless). National Reconnaissance Office manages satellites for various agency customers. Mostly DoD.

          Ahh..LOL.. that was kind of a passive off-the-cuff slap to government. Yes... unfortunately, there are about 30 3-letter agencies that are significantly invasive in the name of 'protecting you'.

            From a comment I posted to herb7734 the other day
            "I have witnessed like a slow moving domino pattern, the fall of opportunity and freedom for the individual in the US. After spending Trillions supposedly defending those free Americans rights and ideals, only to have them whittled away by our govt.
            The enemy is within. It is in an undeclared Uncivil war against the individuals. The opposition to this take over are all very effectively labeled. Rednecks, Racists , White supremacists, Bigots
            On and on and on. This is effective to eliminate free speech or honest discourse. But really who gives a rats ass what anyone else is doing or what lineage they derive from. let alone spend time to Oppress people , really only a govt can do that.

    Be careful! The link to the Mayak facility takes you right to the site in Russia. It is not secure for your computer to be there.

    But thanks for the news...
