NSA Spying program

ad

Frankly I am discussed that America, land of the "free" has turned into such a Orwellian utopia. We should all be up in arms about this NSA spying scandal but yet again nothing will be done and it will be swept under the rug just like everything else. They might as well burn the constitution. What is it going to take to wake the people up and demand action. We need to hold these people responsable for their unconstitutional actions.

If you feel like I do please go to the link below and tell your representatives.

The way I see it is that they save everything. They being corporate america, banks, and government.
There is too much information for them to process. But they save everything.
As technology advances, and the Government seeks access and control to all data. It will be possible to know everything about you. As soon as you pop up on their radar they will be able to dig up everything about you.

Sad part is, the bulk of the info we hand over freely under the guise of cost savings, and convenience.

Your store memberships show them what you eat and buy,
your ATM or Credit Card adds Location, Travel,
Google searches inform them of your interests, plans, politics etc.
facebook Blogs, posts, etc., your family, friends, and affiliations.
Tax returns, school records, employment history, organizational and club memberships.

And this is before they even need a subpoena to access phone, text, Banking and medical records,

And forget about the gun control argument... has anyone tried to buy ammo lately?

What ammo?!

greenlantern's picture

that's exactly what they depend on. "there's no need to take control of a thing if it can be sufficiently influenced to do your bidding..."

Greg's picture

The point about the ammo was that they don't need to change gun laws to effectively get the same result. Kind of like nabbing a mobster for tax evasion. So too other rights could be curtailed without congressional approval.

Greg's picture

I agree it's probably because of hype... But it did give me pause (in the light of current affairs) how easy it would be to circumvent our rights or the law.

Greg's picture

You and I are on the same page where that is concerned.

Thailand is actually the place to go...

They've been doing it before and they'll keep doing it. I laughed hard when mark suckerberg posted that fb never shared any info and never will..lmao seriously? Why does FB wanna know my location every second or why it uploads my contacts off my phone w.o my consent? Every big corporation is on it guys, no surprise here

It's very simple. It's called "The frog in the kettle", and it's a perfect analogy to describe how this whole fiasco may be a small injustice, but it is in no way an insignificant one. It goes like this.:
.
If you place a frog into a pot of boiling water, it will leap out right away to escape the danger. However, if you place it in a pot of cool, comfortable water, and gradually bring it to a boil, the frog will not become aware of the threat before it's too late.
.
This little story won't change peoples minds on whether or not they think the government is doing some shady stuff, obviously. However, I do think it will give them the subconscious power of smelling government Bull. So that whenever that something finally clicks in their brains, they'll say to themselves "Holy bleep this water IS getting hot."

Nov is dead on with " smart phones, gps, ezpass, onstar etc"! Also I must have missed a big part where The President was getting blamed for this...because I will say with certainty the NSA has and for a long time operates without presidential oversight. So if someone is blaming liberals, conservatives or whatever your political knowledge is inaccurate.

What worries me is I missed the part where people were blaming the politicians lol.

Darktide's picture

This is like one of those no win religious discussions lol. The truth is people would piss and moan if terrorist got through again and people will piss and moan if under National Security we lose privacy. So the moral is there will always be pissing and moaning lol. Everything has a give and take I know people don't want to here that but it is true, we were pissed at the CIA for 911 now we are pissed at the NSA & CIA & DOD because under the Patriot Act there is more government ability to listen in and stop terrorism and for the fun it listen to some of these sick bastards doing phone sex with animals in third world countries. What are you going to do? Blum 3

Darktide's picture

Oh hahaha! Yeah this is not new and for what ever anyone thinks they do know through youtube, or the media is nothing compared to what certain agencies are able to do without restraints.

Greg's picture

What gets me is the lackadaisical attitude the general population and press has about ALL the things going on.

If this was reported outside of our country, you'd think we were in the USSR, Syria, Iran, or Venezuela.

Darktide's picture

" lackadaisical attitude" There is the secret ingredient that makes it all so easy! Some here won't remember but I know you will look at the vigilance of the press during The Watergate scandal. And now rhetoric.

Yea, its the new USSA (United Soviet States Of America)
