ABC News video--whistleblowers expose massive government violations of privacy


(MR note -- the video herein is 2 years old, made during the Bush administration)

Conservative Examiner h/t HRW

Anthony G. Martin

When the Conservative Examiner presented proof in a 7-part series that the Obama government is engaging in covert activities to rob citizens of their liberties, naysayers dismissed the information as 'inconclusive,' despite the reliability of the unnamed sources for that information.

However, ABC News interviewed a whistleblower who exposes a massive government intrusion into the privacy of all citizens by reading their emails and Instant Messages, listening to their phone calls, monitoring their movements on the Internet, and tracking the 'Patriot movement' as a 'violent threat' to national security, although no one in the Patriot movement has engaged in such violence.

Not only that, but the government is working with a corporation--AT&T--in order to accomplish this privacy violation:



Note that this secret program was exposed in 2008, while George W. Bush was President.

Thus, we know for a fact that the government has been doing exactly what was claimed in the Conservative Examiner series on Obama's 4th Reich. Only the faces have changed. The program is the same and has in fact been kicked up into high gear under the Obama Administration.

In fact, 'People for Freedom' reports that the Pentagon's Cyber Command is currently preparing to wage war against American citizens who insist on liberty and the adherence to the U.S. Constitution. :

Early last week the Air Force assigned approximately 30,000 “digital troops” to “the front lines of cyber warfare,” a number that represents a third of the troops in Afghanistan. “The transformation is part of the service’s larger emphasis on cyberspace operations and merging most computer system operations and network warfare functions under Space Command’s 24th Air Force, based at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas,” reported the Air Force Times on May 19.
But the bombshell that was revealed in this latest expose of secret government operations directly impacts bloggers and citizen journalists who are not 'authorized' by government to report their propaganda:

According to investigative reporter Wayne Madsen, at least some members of the NSA want to deal with pesky bloggers in a more direct and deadly fashion. In August of 2008, Madsen reported that an executive level NSA staff person was on record saying that significant sentiment exists within the NSA to kill troublesome bloggers and journalists.
Added to this disturbing information is the fact that at West Point last week Barack Obama called for a 'new international order:



These various factors add up to one big concerted attack on average American citizens by the present government and its enablers in the mega-corporate world.

The jackboot is on our throats

No foolin'. If you get a fishy email from a "dating service" addressed to you under a name you thought (almost) no one else knew, you too may have a little "friend" keeping an eye on you. Happened to me a couple years back, and may or may not have been linked to someone at NSA.

Let's be careful out there, people.

the caricature that I drew of bho (late 07 early 08) on side bar of my site...-is how I "saw" him then--now I am sure---
as to the 'surveillance' --been studying that for years--even before I read 1984---
spying by the government is an old method of 'shackling' the people---
we just have new and 'improved' methods...
scary - HUH?!!

Wonder who's at the top of their list of "pesky" bloggers and journailists. The one time it happened to me I believe the person I was emailing was the main target, having caused problems in a legal case both against our "mutual acquaintance" and some federal agencies in general. Though how he got hold of the trace instead of it just being random, I have no idea.
