“What did it tell Congress? It did not have to tell Congress anything. Congress knows who has the phone data of every member of Congress. But what about ‘We, the people?’ Them, too. Then who owns Congress? The NSA spies on the FED. It can blackmail any FED official at any time — just as it can blackmail any member of Congress. Yes, the FED can cut off the government’s money. Maybe Congress will then cut off the NSA’s funding. But it never has in the past. So, the Federal Reserve is not the owner of Congress. It merely holds a long-term sublease through a lease arrangement from the NSA.”
