We’re not going to win the whole enchilada. This is a step forward.
I’m done with this terrorism excuse frankly. We are supposed to let the NSA, FBI, CIA and now LE just eavesdrop any time they feel the hell like it and tolerate it in the name of terrorism for a President and government that won’t even say the word “terrorist” if it in any way can be connected with Islam or any Muslim? Not no, but HELL no.
We’re told this is all to make us safer and to get criminals off the street. Yet they strike up the F&F program to put “assault weapons” in the hands of Mexican criminals to cast some kind of blame on gun rights proponents? We have our FBI publishing warning briefings that potential problems are veterans and conservatives?
They set up a FISA court to rubber stamp blanket secret surveillance of so-called communication between Citizens and foreigners to stop “terrorism”? Then when they get the agency heads in front of a panel, they say “we only capture the metadata”.....then later on they say “we only go back into the data when we’ve sifted through the data and something catches our eye.” WHAT DATA? It is whole damned conversation they’ve captured from EVERYBODY in addition to that metadata they have also extorted from the carriers because its easier. They didn’t build that Megamemory Death Star in Utah to hold ‘metadata’...
These people are capturing and storing every bit of electronic communication each citizen sends out and receives. They lie about it and will keep lying. To endorse this in the name of patriotism and freedom in the face of the entire premise of the US Constitution is treason IMO.
Yep. The present government overreach got imposed on us bit by bit, Those who think we are going to roll it back any other way short of a bloody revolution are naive or bloodthirsty.
