before the once honest nation of New Zealand
on 3 News; John Key on television; proclaims
'I'll Resign If GCSB Conducts Mass Surveillance'
newsflash Monday March 9 2015
Sir Bruce Ferguson former director of the GCSB 2006
to 2011 informed media the GCSB moved in 2009
to an everything scoop 'full take collection'
meaning spy New Zealand intelligence agencies
Government Communications Security Bureau
(GCSB) 'collect all' digital information
emanating from the South Pacific from everyone
from all countries all nationalities all occupations
John Key was lying through his teeth confirmed
the Five Eyes partnership Australia, Canada, UK, US
and New Zealand’s signals intelligence agencies
spy on all data on all citizens all the time? plus
New Zealand’s GCSB is gathering communications
previously illegally from Pacific island nations?
What source these revelations what reliability?
The source was documents stolen by Edward Snowden
a technician at the NSA National Security Agency
the Snowden leak source was part of an
internal file between the Five Eyes partners
outlining NZ GCSB current capabilities
collection method kiwi analogy whitebaiting: put
a net in the water catch whatever comes into the net
the process qualifies as 'mass surveillance' Sir Bruce said
drum roll 3 News; John Key on television; proclaims
'I'll Resign If GCSB Conducts Mass Surveillance'
He's lying, they did he's still here, but he knew they did,
still peeping Johnny, peeping through key holes,
but at least he is not drunk, drunk at interviews
on power arrogance and turps, but when it comes
to integrity, Johnny cannot see the wood for the trees
caught red handed; John Key caught; with his pants down
refused to comment about the GCSB conducting''mass
surveillance'' told media ''it isn’t that simple'' to say that
the GCSB conducts mass surveillance on New Zealanders
offered red herrings on platter Nicky Hager Edward Snowden
'they’re opposed to intelligence agencies'
really they had worked for them I thought?
'they’re anti-American' but we have strayed
from the case which as proclaimed on 3 NEWS was
'I'll Resign If GCSB Conducts Mass Surveillance'
he was lying, he knew, he's still here, going nowhere!
Mr Yeah – Nah smiles
lying through hidden teeth
into dupe television lens
