The CIA isn’t legally allowed to monitor US citizens. When the agency was formed in 1947, President Truman ensured that it was stated clearly that the agency couldn’t operate on US soil.
However, you must know that despite this law, the CIA has been caught several times spying on Americans under the guise of fighting terrorism. And besides, the NSA is monitoring everything you do anyway. Source: The Fact Site

Interesting Fact , Glad to read the post on CIA.
I thought so too. I’m guessing they are still spying on us. 🙂
Seems like G o o g l e isn’t the only one…MOL…Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day and week ahead to you, Zane and your awwdorable kitties too🐾😽💞
You’re right about that. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. Double Pawkisses to you both and a big hug to Granny. 🙂
Gostei de ver a foto e saber mais sobre a CIA !
beijos, linda quarta-feira! chica
I enjoyed seeing the photo and learning more about the CIA!
Kisses, have a lovely Wednesday! chica
It’s good to know what different agencies are doing or doing what they aren’t supposed to do. Happy rest of the week, Chica. 🙂
Mom spies on everything we do, so I guess no living creature has much privacy.
We spy on our kitties too. It’s a good thing. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
Not surprising that a govt agency would be doing something they aren’t supposed to do.
I’m not surprised either. Happy day and rest of the week, Ann. 🙂
Not surprising, is it? Alana ramblinwitham
Not one bit. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Alana. 🙂
Nothing surprises us. We think EVERYTHING watches us.
You’re right about that. It’s the way of things. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
The key is in the misleading name: Central “INTELLIGENCE????” Agency.
I think the term “oxymoron” was coined with reference to government agencies!😂
❤️&🙏, c.a.
I agree with you. Very misleading name. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. I enjoyed todays video. Such fun. 🙂
Shocking I say!!! LOL!
Exactly. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties. ♫♪Happy Anniversary♪♫ to you both. 🙂
Hope they all are enjoying all of my cat photos!
I hear you. We are about as interesting to them as you are. Happy day and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
It sure seems like our government more and more does whatever it wants.
They always have, but now we’re finding about what they are doing. 🙂
Interesting, but I’m not surprised.
Hope you have a great day and rest of the week!
I’m not surprised either. I remember my dad saying years and years ago that we would be frightened half to death if we knew all the things our government does. 🙂
I don’t mind being monitored as long as it keeps our country safe. At least we are not like China. Thanks for hosting. Have a nice day. XO
You’re right about that. Security is a good thing, but often it goes to far. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂
I don’t know about the CIA but we’re giving out all our information to everyone everytime we go online. And they’re legally allowed to take and use it. 🤣😎🙃
You are spot on about that. It’s frightening. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
We’re all being watched.
Yes we are. Almost everything we do. 🙂
Sounds about right to me…always watch what you say!
I tell my television what I want them to hear. Just saying. 🙂
There’s no one intelligent enough in the UK government to run such an agency here, thank goodness!
You made me laugh out loud, Keith. Same here, but we have that agency anyway. 🙂
And these days, it seems like all the big tech companies are monitoring everything we all do.
They are indeed. We’re being watched by so many. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
I wonder who is so naive to believe what they are saying…
Happy WW, dear Sandee! A fine week ahead!
Hugs and love!❤️😘
I’m not and know we’re being watched and listened to by many agencies. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Suzana. Love and hugs. 🙂
I love you my Only Forever. I love our Kitties too. Your Loving Husband.
I love you my wonderful Husband. I love our kitties too. 🙂
Oh, get a room, you two. ~giggle~ You’re the best. ~squee~ Hugs, well wishes, and try to stay off the grid. lol
No surprise there! 😆 It is a spy agency. We are enjoying the new CIA TV series, starring Tom Ellis of Lucifer fame. Happy Wednesday, Sandee! Thanks for hosting WW. 🌹
I’ll check that show out. Sounds like a good show to watch. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Debbie. You’re most welcome for my hosting. I love doing my three hops. Hugs. 🙂
Very few citizens in the USA fly under the radar and end up not being monitored by some agency. Orwell’s “1984” didn’t arrive as predicted, but it is definitely here now. Thanks for linking us up. XOCK, angels Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid & Sawyer, Lisbeth, Calista Jo, Cooper Murphy, Kizmet, Audrey, Raleigh, Gibbs & Tali
You’re right it’s here now. It’s been going on for a very long time, but now we know about it. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. Scritches to the kitties, a smooch to Cooper Murphy and a big hug to you. 🙂
Great information, Sandee. I have seen a few TV shows about this agency, but I did not know it went that far back to 1947! Thank you for the always interesting information.
Happy Wordless Wednesday. Much peace to you, dear friend.
I didn’t either and found it interesting it went back that far. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. Love and hugs to you my wonderful friend. 🙂
I spy with my little eye…
Happy WW, Sandee.
Thank you for hosting!
Yes indeed. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. You’re most welcome for the hosting. A fun hop. 🙂
Morning Sandee and thank you for the informative post.
I suspect all the alphabet agencies in our states and federal government are watching
Hugs x 4
Cecilia
No doubt in my mind. It’s the way of things. They have been doing it for years and years, but now we know about it. Happy Wordless Wednesday. Love and hugs to you and Kit and lots of scritches to the kitties. 🙂
Internet spying… unfortunately, it’s everywhere.
Thank you, Sandee, for the weekly linkup party. Happy #WW.
My entries: #45+46
Hope you will join ES #WW https://esmesalon.com/wordlesswednesday/ NOW OPEN
It sure is everywhere. Happy Wordless Wednesday, my friend. Thank you for all we do. 🙂
I never knew this fact about the CIA! So interesting. I guess rules change depending on circumstances of national security.
I didn’t either, but I’m not surprised. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
No surprise there ~ good info ~ thanks ~ ^_^
Hugs and love to you from me and Ziggy ~ xo
I don’t think any of us are surprised. Love and hugs to you and Ziggy. 🙂
You gotta know, if they are spies, they’re gonna do whatever they think they need to. This just goes to show, behave yourself and then it doesn’t matter what they know about you, it’s not bad! Never do anything you’d be ashamed to have mentioned aloud at your funeral.
You and Mr. Zane have a blessed rest of your week. Give those two fuzzy overlords each an extra treat from me, please.
You’re right about that. I agree. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, my wonderful friend. Love and hugs. 🙂
Interesting info, Sandee! 📚
It’s always eye‑opening to read about how these agencies were meant to operate versus what happens in practice.
Thanks for sharing such a thought‑provoking tidbit for Wordless Wednesday! 🌼
It always seem to go outside the legal perimeter. Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
Unfortunately, I think with all the new and even newer gadgets and gizmos we have now, it makes it very easy for having no real privacy anymore, anywhere. Monitoring can be a good thing, and a not-so-good thing. Let’s hope it truly used for the former and to crack down on the horrific world terror happenings. Thanks for hosting the WW blog hop, Sandee!
I agree with you on monitoring horrific world terror happenings. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
It really isn’t that surprising, is it? We always get the feeling somebody’s watching us. And apparently, we’re right to feel that way. 😀
Not surprising at all. We are being watched. Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂
They probably just say “Nothing to see there”. Pretty much the phone, the TV and most things we use in today’s world. I always ask Alexa if she’s listening when I’m not even talking to her, but she denies it. hahaha
Happy Wednesday 🙂
You crack me up. Happy Wednesday and rest of the week. 🙂
If you have a mobile and are on any version of SM or messaging (what’s app etc), I’d just assume someone is watching some where…what can you do?
I agree with you. Happy Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Lydia. 🙂
Ha! I just wrote a post about our digital footprints and data collecting. We’ve truly made it so easy for the CIA and anyone else inclined to know what we’re up by blasting it out ourselves. I’m so over it all but am not quite ready to throw the towel in…plus this online world of ours can be pretty cool, too!
There is always a good and bad side of everything. I love this online world as you do. 🙂
I have mixed feelings about all spy agencies, especially in these current turbulent times. It’s a bit unsettling but I think transparency is particularly necessary. Thanks for shedding a light on this topic.
It’s always been this way with spy agencies, but now it’s out of the bag and we know about what they do. Love and hugs to you and lots of scritches to handsome Wilson. 🙂
Our gov is doing exactly what it wants, and it will not stop at spying….we have to stop it.
This has been going on for decades. Not just this administration. Happy day and rest of the week. 🙂
I don’t like the thought of being spied on either visually or on our computers or phones, but I think it is happening. … and on that thought … I wish that your day has been a good one <3
It’s happening and has been happening for a very long time. Happy day and rest of the week, Barbara. 🙂
I fear the cat intelligence area
That’s scary too. Happy day and weekend. 🙂
It may be harsh but…CIA. Just another scumbag government agency.
There are so many agencies that started out okay, but they seem to turn into something awful down the road. 🙂
And I don’t think the letter I has the correct meaning. ~sigh~ Hugs and best wishes, my dear.
You’re right about that. Happy weekend. Hugs. 🙂
Yep, big brother and all that. And don’t get dad started on what today’s government is vs. what it used to (should) be. The job dad just left included about 15 cameras around the property, so privacy wasn’t even a thing if you ask me.
The government is the same as it’s been for a long time. One side is against the other when they are in power and then the other side is against the other when they are in power. It’s been this way for a very long time. 🙂
