This is same FBI that partnered up with mobster Whitey Bulger brother of the state senate president Billy Bulger in Boston? Yeah I’ll trust them.....why they’re from the government

It is sad, really sad, but we must fight this on all fronts, resist in every LEGAL way possible, write letters, teach the younger folks the value of freedom etc. There is still some hope left as long as we are aware of what their intention is.

Does this also include Supreme Court justices a bit more liberal than the past two appointees? Heck, they're ripping holes in the Bill of Rights every time they meet. I'm getting tired of the mantra we need more conservative judges when programs as cited in this post become the law of the land.

What are you talking about? Your response to my post makes no sense to me.

Hillary wants this on her desk as soon as she takes office.

I'm glad you still remember Waco. So many don't, anymore.

WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGHTH

Everyone keep repeating this until our new world makes sense.

Nice, too bad the govt doesn’t see it that way...

[stuartcr]

The problem with fighting to the death for a cause, is that the guy next to you may not, then you’ll be dead for nothing...

[stuartcr]

It’s easier this way...

[stuartcr]

You’re right, it’s impossible to rally the troops, when all you know about them, is their log in name...

[freedomlover]

He missed the environment. Should have said something about being “green” donchaknow.

Other than amateur radio, all other means of mass communication, can pretty much be controlled by the govt., and even that would get shut down pretty quickly.

Kimberly Del Greco, the FBI's Biometric Services section chief, said adding to the database is "important to protect the borders to keep the terrorists out, protect our citizens, our neighbors, our children so they can have good jobs, and have a safe country to live in."

I'm sorry, but as long as FedGov resists every effort to secure our borders, these claims ring hollow. They sound like they want a first-class survellance state to me.

This stuff sounded very tinfoil several years ago. It's not so tinfoil now that the FBI is days away from announcing the contracts and companies that will be handling it.

Yeah. When I and others were screaming about this ten years ago, back when there was a chance to build up some opposition to this kind of thing, we were derided as "tinfoilers" or worse. Now that it's all coming to fruition, people are looking around asking what the hell happened. Well, I'll tell you what happened. You allowed it. You've bought the propaganda line from FedGov for so long that you have no idea that it is just nothing but pure crap and propaganda designed to lull you to sleep so you can be easily tagged, numbered and managed like the property they believe you are.

I haven't had any real hope that this republic could stay free for years.

Y'all be sure and laugh real hard at everything Ron Paul has to say too. I'm sure it will make you feel all warm inside for a while.

I hear ya. Thank you.

Nobody replied to the Alamo’s request for help...nobody responded to defend Waco or Ruby Ridge, either...they were ‘fringed’.

Grass-roots guerilla coordination and passive opposition will not impede the active pursuit of power and control that the bureaucrats are paid to seek daily.

Only when they overreach, as at San Jacinto will they be opposed.

Alex Jones cannot warn us off from the upcoming disaster...only the size of the inevitable calamity will focus the inactivists’ attention.

People are also probably wondering "why is this happening under a Republican".

All those people that ignored the Bush administration's moves towards this for years are probably thinking "What the?? This is days away from being started up!!! What if Hillary gets in office??"

Awww, who am I kidding, they will go back to watching their American Idol and bitching about this or that celebrity.

Hell, I could start a thread about something Tom Cruise said about Bush, and it'll get 10 times as many responses as this thread. I see it all the time - people are more concerned about celebrities or their TV shows than they are about what their government is doing. At times, I think people deserve the government they are going to have in the next 10 or 20 years.

Yup. The vast majority deserve the hellish police state they are going to get.

Those of us who resist will be called "terrorists".

Won't bother me a bit.
