The US is spying on YOU!

During a period of over 10 years, a special intelligence unit within the US State Department, has spied on citizens in foreign countries. The unit is known as the “SIMAS unit” and is connected to US embassies all over the world, there task is, officially, to secure US embassies and the staff working there.
It all started in the Norwegian capitol, Oslo where the Norwegian TV-channel TV2, discovered that such a unit, though working independently from the US embassy in Oslo, had spied on Norwegians in a period of more than 10 years.
They had operated from a so-called base office in an office building close to the US Embassy in Oslo. From there they gathered information to a US State Department database, regarding Norwegians that participated in demonstrations, was critical towards the US foreign politics, and other so-called suspicious US critical activities.
The US State Department and the US Embassy in Oslo, claims, that the Norwegian government and authorities, is familiar with the surveillance programme and has accepted it. Though the Norwegian government says that is not the case, though that is strange, because most of the staff that has worked for the SIMAS in Norway, are former or retired Norwegian police officers. Some even from the Norwegian intelligence service, the PST, and had occupied jobs well up in the hierarchy.
A few days later, at the beginning of November 2010, it was made public that the SIMAS also had a similar organisation in Sweden, connected to the US embassy in the Swedish capitol, Stockholm.
Also the Swedish government claims that they have no knowledge of the SIMAS and there activities in Sweden, but strangely enough a press spokesperson from the US embassy in Stockholm admits, more or less, that there exist such an organisation.
