Those who apply for a security clearance sign paperwork authorizing the federal government to conduct an investigation of them, giving the feds full access to all of their personal, financial, background, travel and communication info. <br /><br />I'm not defending spying on citizens. But national security investigations of you are conducted with your permission.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-11905709137106954922013-11-15T04:36:25.422-04:002013-11-15T04:36:25.422-04:00Just think, if we honored the intention of the con...Just think, if we honored the intention of the constitution and the bill of rights, nobody would care if they were caught in some Vice because there would not be any laws against Vices.Like our ninth amendment demands the end to ALL intoxicant prohibitions, yet a big portion of "the Government" is set up to make arrests of those that use 'other intoxicants' and others within "the Government" that are bringing the 'other intoxicants' in from Afghanistan and elsewhere to be broken up and sold here. What a scam, and for those with no moral compass to brag about would love that line of work, if they could get it.<br /><br />Then you have those so upset that "the Government" is collecting data,,, that you have been perfectly willing to give 'private businesses' all of your life, freely. Unless they have a lawful reason to report your transaction to the IRS, nobody is allowed to collect your social security number. How many still do? This topic is a huge smoke screen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-66628646918176863642013-09-06T16:11:57.313-03:002013-09-06T16:11:57.313-03:00It seems that we have all been in major denial for...It seems that we have all been in major denial for quite a while. In the states, we have an executive who possesses fabulous rhetorical gifts, making us want to believe things are just fine. Everyone is plugged into apps, phones, pads, you name it, while social media collects every piece of info on everyone. Encryption being busted for banks, medical records, etc is criminal on behalf of the state. And as we found just recently, unfortunately, VPNs and the like are not exempted. Being on the computer makes me very tired, but it seems to be the only way to get real information.

A Judge is called "honorable" for a reason. Our whole government seems as corrupt as an Arpaio office; just put everyone in jail and tear apart families. We're just public citizens, we don't matter cuz we aren't "above" the law like these guys apparently must be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-38576950697251503712013-06-18T11:29:51.538-03:002013-06-18T11:29:51.538-03:00What really is scary about all this is the lack of...What really is scary about all this is the lack of oversight. I can almost guarantee that some FBI agent has helped a friend out with exposing a cheating wife or husband. Maybe make a few bucks on the side to shame/ blackmail a local politician for the gay porn sites he frequents. Oh but be sure this crap is really keeping us safe. The guy on TV promised me “NO ONE IS LISTENING TO MY PHONE CALLS”, ok I feel better now. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

While most of us have little to hide what should concern us is the huge increase of money and resources being spent on these activities. We only have so much money and so many problems. This in many way is the result of government growing, it is the nature of bureaucracy to expand. The use of sun-set legislation is underused or the bar set too low when it comes to extending and renewing government bodies. Politicians and bureaucrats deterred from expanding or funding programs by a few vigilant citizens, wait and find creative ways to reach their objective at a later date. Creating special bonds, attaching fees to needed services or narrow taxes that go on to fund new authorities, commissions, and districts.
