If you add this with the scandalous actions of the EPA, IRS, DOJ, Health Department and Homeland Security you have a mosaic of events. Like all mosaics you have to step back to see the "Big Picture". The Picture presented by the Obama Administration is Tyranny with a large dose of Fascism.
Liberals, like insects stuck on Flypaper cannot see the whole mosaic and through their own willful ignorance dismiss anything that condemns the glue on the flypaper.
We can trust Dear Leader.
All these government ABC groups need to be shut down. They are nothing more than weapons being used against innocent Americans. From education to energy to the NSA. We need to root out terrorists in the mosques and neighborhoods where we know they are hibernating. It’s the only thing that works. Warnings from other countries or meddling in phone records and emails doesn’t seem to be doing the trick. We know where they hide. It is time to seek them out the right way, which means tried and true methods we know will work.
Answer: A lot more did know about it, but smart enough to keep their mouths shut! Loose lips sink liberal/Marxist ships.
Someone needs to find out who else knew about the Obama Administration's spying on US citizens, and kept their mouths shut. Conspiracy to violate Civil Rights?
This is the mistake of forming all kinds of government departments like the EPA, etc. Government takes on a life of its own and is run by unaccountable, unelected bureaucrats.
It has an inertia that is unaffected no matter who is put into office or Congress.
Some serious cutting and dismantling needs to be done if we are ever going to regain control of this leviathan again.
The concept of Big Data, the incredible speeds with which it can be amassed and searched, and the sophistication of its associated analytic tools are mindboggling. Most people simply cannot comprehend data management on this scale.
#NSACalledToTellMe to tell me they had copies of my birth certificate, my college transcripts, and the report on the incident from my permanent record where I was sent to the principle’s office for being rowdy in the 4th grade.
Americans still live with the illusion that this is a free country, and that we can trust our government. Fascism is for other people.
Big illusion.
the nsa are like the stasi
Right up there with the other letter groups: KGB, NKVD, SPLC, SS (both of them), POTUS, AGUS, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, CNN, FBI—all of them who helped install or empower dictatorships.
The most secret of all.
New? They’ve been doing this for decades. Nothing new about it.
Brings up thoughts of that movie, Enemy of the State.
Why can't we elect people that understand the english language?
"In life"?
"on ways"???
"that it’s never been done before"?
They have recreated the Stasi on steroids. That should scare the bejesus out of anyone. Well, at least to all who even are aware of the Stasi.
