Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: Freedom on the Rocks - federal tyranny versus terrorism Since 9-11, both the Bush and now Obama administrations, along with Congress, have enacted or expanded laws designed to “protect the homeland.” The Patriot Act, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and recent annual National Defense Authorization Acts enhance America’s safety by authorizing certain domestic spying powers for our national security agencies, such as the FBI, CIA and the National Security Agency, to target potential terrorists. These laws seem to make perfect sense; however, they’ve caused our national security apparatus to collide with our rights as citizens, as guaranteed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. American citizens now are subject to warrantless wiretaps and the indefinite data storage of their calls and emails, warrantless GPS “tagging,” the domestic use of Predators or other spy-in-the-sky drones, and the monitoring of all our finances and consumer behavior through “data fusion centers.” These domestic spying authorizations were designed to target terrorists and those who support them. However, what was intended to be a secret spy permit, very limited in scope to catch an individual or a few bad actors, has now, by the NSA’s own admission, turned into a massive electronic dragnet where hundreds of millions of calls and emails are intercepted daily and recorded for possible later investigative use. In reality, the bulk invasion of our privacy is much worse. Our phone calls, GPS locations, emails, audios, videos, photographs, Google searches, Facebook postings and domestic drone surveillance information all are being recorded and then electronically “fused” (merged and collated) with a master data file that includes our banking records, credit card charges, travel records, store purchases, etc. Still evolving technically, the secret national security purpose is to build, over time, a detailed mathematical 3-D model of every citizen’s psychographic patterns and habits for behavior analysis and prediction purposes. (Seriously “Big Brother” — go rent the sci-fi film “Minority Report.”) How do I know this? Simple, two Israeli firms with deep Mossad connections, Narus (now wholly owned by Boeing) and Verint, drop-dead technical experts in behavior prediction modeling, are working closely with the NSA, DHS, etc. Narus’ own corporate website touts its advanced analytics as “fusing together hundreds of data dimensions for deep, focused insight and control.” As former Booz Allen Hamilton NSA technical consultant, now fugitive whistleblower, Edward Snowden recently said “… they (the NSA) are intent on making every conversation and every form of behavior in the world known to them.” Further, the NSA just now is finishing a massive $2 billion data fusion center in Bluffdale, Utah, where avatars (images used to represent each of us in their virtual world) soon will reside, subject to on-demand, retroactive digital strip searches of every aspect of our lives ... all without our knowledge or permission. Worse, we’re already being digitally censored; when I recently tried to share the already-released anonymous web links to Snowden’s recently revealed NSA documents proving we’re all being bugged, Facebook blocked my post. The Fourth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution states: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” Our rights trashed, America’s freedoms on rocks, the federal government insists all its snooping actions are legal under the Patriot Act, FISA, the NDAA and their extensions. It’s a choice of false alternatives; either submit to electronic tyranny or risk more terror attacks. Sadly, the hidden agenda is control. The dollar bill in our pocket or purse carries our nation’s symbolic “all-seeing eye” on its reverse side; how ironic it’s been replaced by the NSA’s real “all-seeing eye” analyzing our lifestyles and smart phones. Political philosopher Montesquieu said: “There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of law and in the name of justice.” The scandals now in Washington make it clear power is being abused for political purposes; who’s watching the watchers? Wake up, America!

Great article - he ties in the Mossad connection to the NSA's snooping.
Thanks for the article ping.
