1984 by George Orwell [Eric Arthur Blair] In 1981, President Ronald Reagan signed Executive Order 12333, which mandates the duties and Foreign Intelligence collection abilities of the 17 Intelligence Agencies in the United States. Presidents Ronald Reagan/GWB/Obama CBS 60 Minutes: NSA Infomercial/NSA Propaganda NSA James Clapper On March 12, 2013, during a United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing, Oregon Senator Ron Wyden quoted the keynote speech at the 2012 DEF CON by the Director of the NSA, Keith B. Alexander. Alexander had stated that Our job is foreign intelligence and that Those who would want to weave the story that we have millions or hundreds of millions of dossiers on people, is absolutely false…From my perspective, this is absolute nonsense. Senator Wyden then asked Director Clapper, Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans? He responded, No, sir. Senator Wyden asked It does not. and Clapper said Not wittingly. There are cases where they could inadvertently perhaps collect, but not wittingly. Notably, while making these statements, he hid his face behind his hand and rubbed his forehead, appearing uncomfortable. On June 6, 2013 Director Clapper released a statement admitting the NSA collects telephony metadata on millions of Americans telephone calls. This metadata information included originating and terminating telephone number, telephone calling card number, IMEI number, time and duration of phone calls, but did not include the name, address or financial information of any subscriber. On Sunday June 7, 2013, in an interview with Andrea Mitchell on NBC, Clapper said that he had chosen I thought was the most truthful or least most untruthful manner when he testified.
