I am not sure the NSA has been turned inward at this point.

I was thinking more of the Alberta Separatist referendum (https://globalnews.ca/news/12069878/foreign-influence-watchd...) as well as against leftist politics in South America (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/24/trump-brazil-e...)

Although there is evidence Israel was targeting US elections, including trying to harm Mamdani's chances: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackCore_election_interferenc...

You are thinking of the CIA. The NSA mission is primarily inward focused.

While the NSA may have it's fingers in any of these cases. As far as i understand the agencies roles these would be jobs for the CIA.

>The NSA mission is primarily inward focused.

This is simply false. Only domestic law enforcement agencies like the FBI can conduct domestic investigations. Law enforcement or counter-intelligence agents might be given access to intelligence the NSA collects if they have a warrant, but it is not in the remit of the agency to intentionally collect information on US persons, it’s only allowed incidentally when conducting foreign intelligence collection

Those are definitely a thing - also don't forget about elections in the EU, with the open support for the far-right there as well as the US National Security Strategy officially talking of wanting to undermine the EU.

But the NSA has been turned inward a long time ago. Don't forget Snowden - all it takes is some fun legalisms.

Branding anyone against Israel's actions "a Hamas supporter" is just so vapid. Mamdani has repeatedly condemned Hamas.

Indeed, out of character for Israel:

Israel's pet-peeve isn't justification to violate sovereign democracies.
