It needs to be repeated, again and again, until even the least technically astute become fully aware of the implications. In my 80 years of life, I have never before been threatened by my own government. |

You were under threat when a bulldog in a dress was ruling from the shadows, with dirt on everyone so nobody dared call it out. You just didn't do anything that made you worthwhile to remove. Its agency hasn't gotten any cleaner. |

James Bamford, "The Puzzle Palace", great book, outlines how the domestic electronic spying has been going on since such things are possible. Even simply to the rerouting of Western Union telegrams through the spy offices before they were delivered to their intended destination. Every sea cable has been tapped, every internet backbone, every international telephone call, every satellite link, since the start. The only difference now is that they have been caught at it. |
