Living in the Western world, to some degree or another we have all accepted that a certain amount of the Surveillance State will intrude on our lives; but do you know the real depth of surveillance throughout the US and UK? You might be surprised. recent accusations against the Obama administration and their wire-tapping of Donald Trump may in fact only be accusations, but if we were to consider the sheer scale of day to day surveillance that takes place on almost every citizen, it would be extremely unlikely that he wasnt at some point surveilled.
There are many forms of surveillance that are in use by government agencies, freelance Information agencies (under government contract), and private organizations (such as the DNC), and they all rely on identifying, targeting and gathering techniques to operate successfully. But recent surveillance has gone beyond this; now they gather, target and identify. It seems a subtle difference but the fact that now all information is collected and then sorted shows us that we cant rely on basic privacy laws anymore.

Also let us not forget the IRS targeting under Obama. Let’s get error going!
Yup. That’s where all our money has been going to: a massive police state with one goal: keep the money flowing to the police statists.
Feudalism makes a comeback.
My Samsung turned itself on and started talking to me...
...but it seems confused.
It keeps calling me Dave and I keep telling it "Dave's not here, man!"
They are recording everything, you authorize most of it.
They rarely listen to you and Aunt Mabel.
They only expose means and methods for big fish, and even then...
Do you think our words here are recorded for posterity?
With the data storage and technology today, Everything is recorded and traceable.
Is it worth the effort and do we have the manpower to sift though it? Is the chase worthwhile?
Lot’s of the problem with surveillance is the net is cast to wide.
Obama performed surveillance on Trump.
Now, it’s Trump’s turn to get the dirt on Obama.
And so, there is a rumor (started by me, right here, right now), that part of Obama’s Secret Service detail, are watching Obama’s every step and recording and reporting to, the NSA and FBI and (you guessed it) Trump.
Obama is probably paranoid by now.
Search HAMMER. And you will really be paranoid
And how much does all of this cost US in $$$ ???
The smaller the budget, the less they can do.
Deficits have gone up and down but spending has done nothing but increase year over year.
HAMMER: A tool, used to bang nails into wood?
Or...
something else?
Educate me.
So, Trump was wiretapped over a “ZILLION” times?
How many zeros is that?
And, wasn’t that overkill?
Also, who that writes seriously about a serious matter, uses “Zillion” in their vocabulary?
You forgot that one of them is the ‘bullet man’. The one that puts one in the back of his head should things get extreme.
That comment was a quote from the judge. FISA judge I believe. He would know. Last name is Snow IIRC
Uh-huh. Suuuuuure....
I've been doing that for over 10 years.
