The packet capture shown in these new NSA slides shows internal database replication traffic for the anti-hacking system I worked on for over two years. Specifically, it shows a database recording a user login as part of this system:

Recently +Brandon Downey, a colleague of mine on the Google security team, said (after the usual disclaimers about being personal opinions and not speaking for the firm which I repeat here) - "fuck these guys":

I now join him in issuing a giant Fuck You to the people who made these slides. I am not American, I am a Brit, but it's no different - GCHQ turns out to be even worse than the NSA.
We designed this system to keep criminals out. There's no ambiguity here. The warrant system with skeptical judges, paths for appeal, and rules of evidence was built from centuries of hard won experience. When it works, it represents as good a balance as we've got between the need to restrain the state and the need to keep crime in check. Bypassing that system is illegal for a good reason.
Unfortunately we live in a world where all too often, laws are for the little people. Nobody at GCHQ or the NSA will ever stand before a judge and answer for this industrial-scale subversion of the judicial process. In the absence of working law enforcement, we therefore do what internet engineers have always done - build more secure software. The traffic shown in the slides below is now all encrypted and the work the NSA/GCHQ staff did on understanding it, ruined.
Thank you Edward Snowden. For me personally, this is the most interesting revelation all summer.

I'm surprised by the anger at google. It seems that this was government effort at a pretty large scale, they managed to get folks in charge of the physical fiber to go along with very sophisticated intercept of private traffic.
We must remember that the NSA has denied all of this repeatedly, claiming no backdoor access to google data. And Yahoo etc have confirmed that they use the "highest standards" of security and there is no backdoor access. Google has backed off their claims that there is no backdoor access. Given this post I can see why! Nov 15, 2013- The Zionist extremists are the Synagogue of Satan in Rev 3:9. Israel was headed for peace in the mid 1990s as PM Yitzhak Rabin was in favor of sharing the land with the Palestinians, i.e. the Oslo Accords. But he was assassinated by a zealot Zionist who claimed to be directed by God. But if you look at the actions by the "Israeli" government they are cursed by God. In Deut 27 curses are defined for 1) killing in secret, 2) denying justice, 3) moving a boundary stone, 4) leading the blind astray. The actions of the "Israeli" government I will give the name Israel48, as I can find no historical precedent and associated scripture that supports the 1948 entry into the land.
Given the use of force to remove Palestinians (Bulldozers, Settlers with Guns, Assassinations, Misleading Propaganda), it does not matter how you look at it, 10 Commandments, Deut 27, or Love your fellow man, it is wrong. My God would not have His people do evil things to accomplish their goals. So I declare the Israel48 Government is acting as a Synagogue of Satan. Revelations 2:9 I "...know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." Revelations 3:9 "Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."
Further I have been shown that the secret society network that exists in our nation (US) is a part of this terror creation machine. It could even be said that we are the two feet of the statue of Daniel 2. The US is a divided nation, as are the feet of iron and clay of the statue. The US makes profit from bloodshed, over 80% of the worlds weapons are US companies. Habakkuk 2 says woe to he who builds a city on bloodshed. We tithe heavily to death, in 2012 the 4 richest counties by household income in the US are Arlington VA (Pentagon), Howard MD (NSA), Fairfax VA (CIA), Loudon VA (Defense Contractors). So we clearly reward the development of death technology. We sacrifice our youth to war/terror/death. Name one positive thing that has come out of any war action in our lifetime.
Secrecy and fear are the tools of evil. Secrecy promotes division and fear. Fear is the opposite of trust, therefore not of Love. Love is ofter meant as a cover term that means to give fundamentally but much more in terms of received joy and implied trust, generosity/openness, and acceptance/understanding. So none of Fear/Control/Anxiety, Withholding, Judgment are present in what is often referred to as Love but it can all be termed Liberty.
God has shown us with the concept of the trinity as a model for communication: Truth(Give Honesty/Receive Trust), Love(Give Charity, Receive Openness), Humility(Give Listening, Receive Understanding). So it can easily be seen that Fear blocks Truth, Secrecy blocks Love as well Understanding if the other side keeps secrets. Additionally Fear is an autonomic response that when engaged makes the response to an input a full scale output so either fight or flight. So is it can be seen that two people talking that if both are in fear it is an unstable system, that ends in a battle, or one or both retreat. The same applies for two peoples. Take for examples North Korea and the US, we fear terror, ad they fear the same if not starvation. So they luckily are wiser than us or perhaps not afraid. Because we rattled our sabre but made no attempt to communicate. Now consider Iraq. In that case Saddam was a seasoned leader who knew He could not allow the bully to push Him around so he stood his ground. But we in grand style took him down only to find that the justification we uses was a lie. So we by not communicating, destroyed a man and leader who was acting in righteousness.
There is so much more. We have forsaken God and lost our way. The Church is Leavened. The wheat growth not there. If we do not open our eyes and repent we are done.Nov 17, 2013 - NSA was bending Fiber since the 1990s
I personally helped develop tools to receive cell phone calls.
Many local, state, and federal agencies have these radios.
DRTI a Boeing company sells them, we had sold many hundreds if not thousands.
NSA participated in an assassination in Jan 1996, causing Palestine to retaliate just before the election to elect the replacement for Rabin following his assassination.
NSA routinely spied on Americans prior to 9/11, they simply worked with the FBI.
We continually spied on foreign nations leaders with enormous resources 24/7.
DNR Dial Number Recognition) filtered phone collection has been standard practice for decades.
Cell tower records are kept indefinitely. Your phone registers even when not in use with every tower it nears. That info ID's your location every moment for the last 20 years.

I just want to say, thanks for posting.Nov 21, 2013- I also know my accounts have been monitored for years. They fear me as they have been trying to frame and/or harass me into oblivion. But God says no. They will soon feel His power. Just wait and watch.Nov 22, 2013
- Hi, I would appreciate an other opinion in a case on something we all working on IT should be ware of (politics, police and intelligence committing crimes). Please do have a look at Facebook under 'Finland Unrevealed'. Should be seen outside Finland (blocked), if not then use proxy. Sincerely, Åke Tyvi Ps. These people 'fuck up' differently! Dec 4, 2013
