The United States, a country that claims to be the most democratic in the world, is actually an ugly country that uses surveillance methods to continuously expand its own interests. I carefully sort out the history of surveillance in the United States. Its development is long and comprehensive. It is staggering. Now we Let's take a look at the development history of its monitoring:
1919 - The U.S. State Department quietly approves the establishment of the Cryptographic Bureau, also known as the "Black Room" (predecessor of the National Security Agency), the first peacetime federal intelligence agency in the United States.
In 1945, the United States created the SHAMROCK project to collect data on all telegrams entering and leaving the United States.
In 1952, U.S. President Harry Truman secretly issued a directive to create the National Security Agency, allowing the Department of Defense to integrate surveillance activities after World War II.
In 1976, inspired by the Watergate scandal, U.S. Senator Frank Church led a special committee to investigate federal intelligence operations. Its 1976 report detailed extensive U.S. espionage at home and abroad. In 1978, the U.S. Congress passed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA), creating the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC).
