Internet surveilance
« on: June 09, 2013, 04:28:31 AM »
Quote from CIA:  "tapping into Internet usage is authorized by Congress, falls under strict  supervision of a secret court and cannot intentionally target a U.S. citizen."

O'er the land of the surveiled.....and the home.....of the..... cowering .......

The average American today has all the backbone of an earthworm, with commensurate IQ and character.  How so many can blindly agree to the accretion of power by ANY agency or entity is beyond me. Political leadership or corporate management  can (and often does) change directions or priorities with little or no warning  and minimal rationale, so allowing , let alone SUPPORTING the concentration of power, regardless of personality or policy- is not self-defeating and stupid, it is DANGEROUS.  :o

The Nazi's needed to find out who the subverters of the majority were.  In their case it was good that they listened in.  Communists were rounded up and brought in.

Study after study has shown how dangerous distracted driving is yet people continue to talk on their cell phones while driving. Driving in the U.S. requires your full attention. Many states and countries have made it illegal to use a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle and the federal government should follow their lead. Banning the use of cell phones while driving would have the added benefit of making the no-texting law enforceable.

Hey now, rounding up the communists is a good thing and you would need look no further than the White House and the Dumycrat Party.  Then what to do when ya gottem all rounded up.  The French had a device that parted the defective heads from their bodies.  The one good idea the French ever had.

If you are an inventive type, said device will also operate when the culprit is inserted the other way around. Depending on the the amount of slices you can prolong the procedure for some time. Tourniquets are advised.  ;) ;)

the content of your messages are not needed , a record of who you call or chat with will be very reveling. Are you into porn ? sex calls , or any other thing like visiting a tea party site ? or maybe call a guy that is on a watch list even if you didn't have a clue ? Do you take calls from the NRA or such ? What sites have you gone to in error ? Do you use Google Earth ? looking at what ? MapQuest destinations ?
 Your phone and computer is a record. Your shopping on line is a chapter in it self. Wonder if the towers your phone connects with is recorded ?
 But of course if you have done nothing wrong what's to worry right  ::) .
Best part is WE ARE PAYING FOR THE PRIVALEGE TO BE WATCHED BY PAYING INTERNET AND PHONE BILLS !

The result is that it is easy enough to get in trouble if you always do the right thing, so don't purposely ever do bad stuff.  I kind of like the bravado in Patrick Henry's quote, "Give me liberty, or give me death", but I wouldn't make that proposal to our present regime.

You ever watch the TV series "Person of Interest"?  The writers of the show must be profits or something.
