GCHQ and its collusion with War Criminals and Terrorist States.

 Edward Snowden's recent revelations in which he alleged that  GCHQ was even worse in its espionage activities against the ordinary citizen than NSA should come as no surprise. Despite their howls of innocence the organisation has some nasty skeletons in its cupboard. One such example was colluding with the war criminal Henry Kissinger in his notorious life long attempts to suppress his dubious activities. During his time as National Security Adviser and Secretary of State to Nixon's and Ford's administrations respectively Kissinger invoked a power of veto to prevent GCHQ from producing intelligence reports containing information about him AND, to its eternal shame, they willingly went along with this.
 So much for the sovereignty of the UK when an American war monger had the power to to force GCHQ to issue redacted intelligence reports to H.M. Government. The primary reason for this was, and continues to be, its massive reliance on the NSA for funding and access to its huge intelligence resources and information. Move on a few years and another example of GCHQ's over arching desire to maintain its relationship with the NSA was the decision, because of an agreement with the then head of the NSA (Bobby Inman) and the Director of GCHQ (Brian Tovey), to ban Trades Unions at GCHQ. The liberties and civil rights of its employees were secondary to GCHQ's desire to placate the Americans - a nation that has killed, wounded or made homeless well over 20 million human beings, mostly civilians, since 1962.
 Add to this GCHQ's regular supply of intelligence to the Israelis, who come only second to the USA for state sponsored terrorism and you have a murky Orwellian organisation that is out of control and shames the citizens of the United Kingdom. Instead it hides its activities behind the stinking veil of, "National Security". But whose "National Security", ours as citizens who pay for its activities, or that of the secret state that manipulates our lives and is not accountable to the people?
