    The Government has Secret Listening Posts in Every Major City

    TITANPOINTE.

    New York City has skyscrapers of all shapes and sizes. But why does this 500 foo
    t tall, 29-story building have no windows, no lights and no markings at all?

    Because it's a top-secret NSA spy station built to withstand nuclear war.

    Officially, this is an AT&T telecommunications building. But thanks to leaked do
    cuments, we now know that 33 Thomas Street is actually a top secret NSA mass sur
    veillance hub.

    It's code name is: TitanPointe. And right now, as we speak, TitanPointe is liste
    ning.

    The gray, granite tower is located at 33 Thomas Street in Lower Manhattan. Local
    s know the building as the "Long Lines Building" and it's been a source of myste
    ry for years. What jumps out is that the building has no windows and no exterior
    lighting. During the day, it fades into the background of the New York City sky
    line. And at night, it becomes an invisible shadow.

    Thanks to NSA documents leaked by Edward Snowden, we now know that creating an i
    nvisible building wasn't an accident. It was absolutely by design.

    33 Thomas Street operates under NSA codename TITANPOINTE. And Titanpointe is a c
    ore location used for a controversial, and possibly illegal, NSA-sponsored mass
    surveillance program. According to leaked documents, this program has targeted t
    he communications of the UN, the World Bank, the IMF. It's been used to spy on a
    t least 38 countries, including US allies like France, Germany and Japan.

    It's common knowledge that AT&T is very cooperative with the NSA. Using an AT&T
    cell phone? Eh, you might want to rethink that.

    Let's find out why.
