The WSJ is reporting that in addition to monitoring cell phone records, emails and web activity, the National Security Agency is monitoring credit card transactions. "NSA has established similar relationships with credit-card companies, three former officials said."

#NSACalledToTellMe the FEMA camps are actually nice and you get complementary Hot Face Towels in the lounge just outside the Waterboarding Spa.
Since when did Hussein consider mooseSlimes to be terrorists?

I have been thinking about that. Life just slightly before...
Did they see it coming? A little history research indicates a few did, but failed at stopping it.
America has always been different, we've 'prided' ourselves on that idea. American courage eh? Where is it today?

The control freaks sure had motive. After such a spectacular attack, Americans gave away their freedom on a silver platter.
Did government directly attack us on 9/11. I highly doubt it
Did government ignore or delay actions that would have prevented 9/11? I think it was more incompetence and laziness than trying to purposely cause an attack.
Are government and industry ties to Islamic nations making immigration for potential terrorists easier? Absolutely
Did government use the attacks to their full advantage? Absolutely
9/11 followed a pattern that’s gone on for decades.
Attack or threat of some sort. Ginormous budget increase for agencies designated to detect and stop these attacks. Loss of our civil rights in the name of ‘safety’.
Another attack. Another ginormous budget increase. For our safety, of course.
Further attacks. Further budget increases. Further limitations on our ability to be free and private (except for that ability to kill babies...THAT will remain private forever!)
It doesn’t take an Einstein to figure out that for unscrupulous people at least, attack == greatly increased budget and head count. And infinite power over the little people.
These agencies have no motive to stop these attacks. There is no punishment if the attacks occur. Why should they stop them? Because they’re decent people? Really? How many psychopaths does it take to spoil the agency? We’re finding out.
American courage is alive and well... and it will answer the call if needed. Look at Lee, Cruz and Paul... not a coward amongst them.

2 warnings from Russia and 1 from Saudi.
There were warnings from international intelligence about the shoe and underwear bombers, but they were waved through airport security by Fed officials. That shows the Feds want a pretext to do more surveillance across an ever growing spectrum of what was previously free markets.
Fast and Furious data confiscation...
So get the affinity card, but then register it to somebody that you don’t like.
I've been told that might be fraud or invasion of privacy or something.
This grocery store, which it's now down to only one item I can't buy somewhere else, has gotten even worse. Not only do they not have a "store card" so you can get the sales without the other benefits, they've developed a new big brother policy. They won't let anyone use the self-checkout unless they use the affinity card. That's got to be illegal you'd think.
Maybe I should just get the card for the one item, or else buy my Wheat Chex from Amazon.
Don't you mean 2nd Amendment advocates?
Ixquick search engine has improved considerably. They say they are the “world’s most private search engine” And as you mentioned StartPage, it is their sister search engine that does anonymous searches on Google.
Yes. Thank you.
What is ammo?
