Germany’s BND intelligence service sends “massive amounts” of intercepts to the NSA daily, according to a report based on Edward Snowden’s leaks. It suggests a tight relationship has been developed between the two agencies – which the BND claims is legal.

Documents leaked by former NSA contractor Snowden and obtained by Der Spiegel revealed that the 500 million pieces of phone and email communications metadata collected by the NSA in Germany last December were “apparently” provided with the BND’s approval.

The data was allegedly handed over at two collection sites as part of the operation titled “Germany – Last 30 days.” One of those collection sites has been identified as the Bavarian BND facility at Bad Aibling, which the NSA is said to have officially left back in 2004.

Der Spiegel’s investigation, which cites BND sources, says that the code name of the Bad Aibling facility is mentioned in Snowden’s papers as one of the signals intelligence activity designators (SIGADs) employed by the US spy agency to collect the data.

1. All governments have to protect their owners, the global top 0.1% elite, after all.

Add this to Putin's Freudian slip last month:

&quot Snowden) must stop his activities aimed at inflicting damage to our American partners"

2. Sounds like the New World Order. All eyes

on the citizens. Established systems must be preserved. All movements monitored and recorded (in case the information is needed in the future).
We should all go back to writing letters on paper and sending them through the mail, oh, that's right they are closing the Post Office.

3. What will be interesting to see

is the effect, if any, this subject has on the outcome of Germany's Federal elections next month given their inherent dislike of what has become known as Stasi 2.

4. Yes, it will be interesting, especially since

German citizens are much better informed than US citizens and have a recent history which provides many examples of how the all pervasive state can run amok.
