“Watching middle-class conservatives vote for politicians who've proudly pledged to screw them and their children over fills me with the same exasperated contempt I feel for rabbits who zigzag wildly back and forth in front of my tires instead of just getting off the goddamn road.”
― Tim Kreider, We Learn Nothing
Citizens Have Rights – Don’t They?
Obama wants
to look like a man of the people, saying he supports NSA reform. While at the
same time, his administration keeps pushing policies in support of mass
surveillance.
Reporters
revealed that Obama bureaucrats are putting pressure on local law enforcement
agencies. They want these agencies keep quiet about the tech they use to gather
information.
Obama is speaking out of both sides of his mouth. On one hand, he “welcomes” a discourse on government surveillance. While on the other, he is hushing any local public officials who might talk about the actual, practical aspects of such programs.
Obama is speaking out of both sides of his mouth. On one hand, he “welcomes” a discourse on government surveillance. While on the other, he is hushing any local public officials who might talk about the actual, practical aspects of such programs.
Obama's
people have even gone so far as to meddle in public records requests. In
several cases, police departments have withheld documents – documents they
would normally release under public records laws.
Have You Heard of Stingray?
Stingray
is just one of the technologies that the Obama administration is trying to keep
a lid on. Let's take a look at what it really is.
This
bit of snooping technology mimics a cell phone tower. When it does, your phone
shares a wealth of information with the fake tower, called a Stingray. The
Stingray collects this information without the help of cell phone service
providers.
You
don’t even have to make a call or send a message for it to figure out that your
phone is in the vicinity, and that it belongs to you!
Not
a lot of other details are available about Stingray technology. In part because
of federal pressure to conceal how the technology is used and how it works.
An
AP request for more information about which police departments use Stingray
technology fell on deaf ears. No information has been given.
As
usual, government officials are hiding behind the all-too-familiar “security”
excuse. They argue that keeping the technology secret is the only way to
protect against terrorists and criminals.
Citizens
have the right to know when and how the government is collecting data on them.
And never mind the real question at hand here, which is "Does the
government have the right to gather such information about its citizens without
a warrant?"
Be Part of the Push Back
The
NSA surveillance scandal has turned into a full-fledged debacle. The NSA is
plowing ahead with its massive data-gathering programs despite public outcry.
And Obama's administration has called for only small changes to the program.
In
the meantime, in response to public outcry, the House of Representatives passed
a reform bill, though it was watered-down.
Senator
Rand Paul joined with two other senators in a statement protesting the House
version of the bill. They stated it did not offer “meaningful reform.” To
contact your Congressman and let him know how you feel about meaningful NSA
reform, visit this site to get his/her information.
Senator
Paul is not the only one disappointed in the House's version of the bill.
Several tech giants including Apple, Microsoft, and Google joined together in
calling for the Senate to do more to put an end to bulk data gathering by the
NSA.
Many
citizens are taking matters into their own hands. They are attempting to start
a movement among Internet users to use stronger encryption and better
passwords— anything that will make the NSA’s efforts to data gather more
difficult…FRANKLY, We’re tired of an out-of-control BIG NOSY BROTHER government
