I highly doubt Google is filtering stuff out for the NSA.

The simpler explanation is that Google Alerts is 100% broken because it makes Google no money and doesn't do much for their core business interests. For my own alerts, it's been sending me results from 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 in random order, over and over, repeating results, for many moons now. I've switched to using Talkwalker instead.

sometime over the past few weeks google alerts has started filtering
(certain?) NSA codewords from alert matches.

ah well, nice while it lasted...
