Comments about revelations that U.S. has supersecret agency with power and legal authority to gather electronic communications worldwide.
“Everything said about the national surveillance program being only used for surveillance of foreign terrorism is vast disinformation to make the public think that the constitution and the Bill of Rights still matters to this government. Section 215 of the Patriot Act gives the government the power to spy on all of the communications of all U S citizens no matter what form of communication you use. When the patriot Act was first voted upon an amendment stating that it could not apply to any U S citizen was introduced to protect the rights of our citizens; it was voted down by congress. This amendment was introduced a second time and again voted down by Congress. Not one member of congress can say that they did not vote for the act or say that they did not know what this could do to the rights of U S citizens with the acceptations of a brave few who stood against and voted against the Patriot Act.”
“As this information of mass spying on U S citizens by our own government unfolds in the next few weeks it will be easy to see that we have let the present, past, and future governments take the protection of the 4th amendment away from us by the use of fear and unnecessary war.”
“It is time that we stand up by what ever legal means that are at our disposal and put an end to this soon to be police state. That is what the Occupy Movement was about, calling out all of the corporate injustices weighted upon the people.”
“The Guardian has been a truth telling paper for many years when many corporate news agencies tell the surface of the news the Guardian tries to report the full story. Such as the so-called charges against Julian Assange for what the corporate news calls sexual misconduct. The Guardian followed the story from both sides then published the actual complaint filed by the two ladies against Assange, which turns out to be a request for him to be checked for sexual diseases.”
“Violating the 4th amendment at will by our government will do more to suppress descent of the government than to find terrorists. This program takes and stores all of our communications without a probable cause warrant.”
“They may have the technology but it would appear that no one has or cares to administrate oversight.”
