By Madison Ruppert: The intelligence agencies of Germany, France, Spain and Sweden have developed mass surveillance techniques in concert with Britain’s GCHQ, which in turn closely works with the NSA, according to a report.
GCHQ, the British eavesdropping agency, has been implicated in some incredible surveillance schemes involving the NSA including the cracking of what was thought to be secure encryption and the sharing of global communications. They also reportedly have unlimited access to telecommunications networks.
Most of the monitoring conducted by the European agencies is reportedly carried out via direct taps into fiber optic cables and through relationships with telecommunications corporations, the Guardian reports.
Indeed, most recently it was reported that the NSA and GCHQ both directly tapped into Google and Yahoo data as it traveled via fiber optic cable between data centers.
