"I want to say what GCSB Does-Most Of Work Is NOT Spying For New Zealand, It's Spying For The USA"

Nicky Hager
Kia ora ka tou, congratulations on being here tonight, I’m really glad to be here too.

I’m really the last speaker – so what a lot of things that needed to be said have been said already and I’m going to give a bit more context about the GCSB and what the issues are about – I’m going to give you some context – because some things that needed to be said have been said already – I’m going to give some context about this GCSB and what the bigger, wider, issues.

So setting aside for a moment the issue of spying on New Zealanders – I want to say what the GCSB does most of the time – because it mostly spies on other countries. It mostly spies on other countries, and a large part of its work is not spying for New Zealand, it’s spying for the United States, and all that work that it does, is never ever seen by New Zealanders, and it is in effect like an outpost of the NSA in the South Pacific – even though they would never like people to say this.

1. "It's spyng for the USA? -- what does THAT mean

sounds like a scare tactic with no facts... and yes I read the entire article.

Let me summarize the article. We have been "spying" on all kinds of countries since the cold war... but now we "spy" a lot more, and even on the United States.

Zero facts on anything that is concrete in terms of criminal activity. It's so secret we can't tell you, or tell you any facts either.

Hey everyone... Facebook is SPYING on you! Sounds scary, doesn't it.
