If you’re just getting back from an extended vacation with no access to the news, “George Washington” at Zero Hedge has a cheat-sheet on spying that you might want to have a look at:
- The government is spying on just about everything we do
- The government has adopted a secret interpretation of the Patriot Act which allows it to pretend that “everything” is relevant … so it spies on everyone
- The government’s mass spying doesn’t keep us safe
- NSA spying did not prevent a terror attack on Wall Street
- There is no real oversight by either Congress or the courts. And see this and this
- Even a Federal judge who was on the secret spying court for 3 years says that it’s a kangaroo court
- Experts say that the spying program is illegal, and is exactly the kind of thing which King George imposed on the American colonists … which led to the Revolutionary War
Lots more at Zero Hedge.
