We need a Constitutional Amendment that rewards whistle blowers with a generous pension for life, and holds accountable those who would side step them. It is the only way to clean the corrupt swamp.
A most basic problem is that only a handful in Congress actually put citizens rights and the Constitution as front and center. Maybe because many are afraid knowing what has been recorded and they can be blackmailed. We need true Constitutional zealots and not swamp rats and donors to big wigs. We now have a worthless media that works for insiders.
This is like J. Edgar Hoover times a million.
Won't happen because most of those in Congress are already dirty or soon will be or they wouldn't have gotten there. Cynical me.
We need code writers to work their magic quietly. If the government stores every bit of data on everyone, attach the most wicked malware imaginable to every one of your emails, set to populate all server system files only when it is compressed and then reopened. Put the most juicy subject lines in to get their attention but the entire email itself is in the body of the attachment. If they want to look at my harvest my data, give them cancer.
You better add lifetime witness protection to your proposal or they might run in front of a train or drown in the bathtub or whatever passes for “Arkanside” these days.
