NSA memo authorized spying on the UN to see what they think about Iraq
To: 2 NSA superiors of Koza; UK intelligence service MI6
From: FRANK KOZA, Def Chief of Staff (Regional Targets)

Importance: HIGH

Top Secret//COMINT//X1

All,

As you've likely heard by now, the Agency is mounting a surge
particularly directed at the UN Security Council (UNSC) members (minus US
and GBR of course) for insights as to how to membership is reacting to the
on-going debate RE: Iraq, plans to vote on any related resolutions, what
related policies/ negotiating positions they may be considering, alliances/
dependencies, etc - the whole gamut of information that could give US
policymakers an edge in obtaining results favorable to US goals or to head
off surprises. In RT, that means a QRC surge effort to revive/ create
efforts against UNSC members Angola, Cameroon, Chile, Bulgaria and Guinea,
as well as extra focus on Pakistan UN matters.

We've also asked ALL RT topi's to emphasize and make sure they pay
attention to existing non-UNSC member UN-related and domestic comms for
anything useful related to the UNSC deliberations/ debates/ votes. We have
a lot of special UN- related diplomatic coverage (various UN delegations)
from countries not sitting on the UNSC right now that could contribute
related perspectives/ insights/ whatever. We recognize that we can't afford
to ignore this possible source.

We'd appreciate your support in getting the word to your analysts who might
have similar, more in-direct access to valuable information from accesses
in your product lines. I suspect that you'll be hearing more along these
lines in formal channels - especially as this effort will probably peak (at
least for this specific focus) in the middle of next week, following the
SecState's presentation to the UNSC.

Thanks for your help

(We need people to go over this with a fine-toothed comb and research it as much as they possibly can)

1. Just like they were spying on the U.N. weapons inspectors too
Any doubts that John Kerry was spied on should be gone by now.

Bush Crime Family Plan

U.S. Attorneys work as "button men" for political reasons
NSA does the spying
The media is manipulated
The military industry complex makes out like "fat rats" and kick backs
money to republican operations

2. Any doubts they are spying on the DEM candidates out there? Smell the coffee folks!
There is about zero chance the DEM campaigns are not under suveillance.

I was informed that ALL US communications are routed overseas to circumvent the US Constitution and laws.

4. Got it off a P2P network
But here's a similar story for it.

I'd delve more into my computer and find more information, but it's going slower than molasses right now.
