Obama's Snooping Excludes Mosques


The White House assures that tracking our every phone call and keystroke is to stop terrorists, and yet it won't snoop in mosques, where the terrorists are.

That's right, the government's sweeping surveillance of our most private communications excludes the jihad factories where homegrown terrorists are radicalized.

Since October 2011, mosques have been off-limits to FBI agents. No more surveillance or undercover string operations without high-level approval from a special oversight body at the Justice Department dubbed the Sensitive Operations Review Committee.

man o man.... there is no explaining this

 

[steveox]

Yeah Dog,, Typical liberalism hypocrisy

 

[ThirdTerm]

The local mosque which the Boston bombers attended had produced other terrorists in the past and its affiliates hosted speeches by Islamist preachers and mosques and schools should not be off-limits to investigators and they should infiltrate suspicious mosques and Muslim student groups operating on campus. Young Muslims' radicalisation often takes place in an educational environment in which hate preachers can become their mentors.

Yeah Dog,, Typical liberalism hypocrisy

much worse than that steve. had they said no targetting any religious entity they would be acting constitutionally. but they did not. there has to be a price to be paid.

Tyranny is right around the corner, but don't let that concern you. We must get that traitor Snowden...

We Americans have been warned about this for a long long time...in fact, the Founders warned us, but sadly many Americans are oblivious. Like the proverbial lamb led to slaughter.

Listen to What Insiders Say About Mass Surveillance

Jimmy Carter’s National Security Adviser – a key American foreign policy architect (Zbigniew Brzezinski) – wrote in 1970:

The [future] era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.​

In 1975, the head of the Senate committee investigating illegal spying and harassment by the U.S. government – Senator Frank Church – said about the NSA:

I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision, so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return.​

The NSA has operated outside the law and without supervision by either Congress or the courts. And see this and this.
Indeed, in 1991, a House intelligence committee report found “very limited internal oversight of the Agency [NSA] programs,” as well as no supervision of the agency by either the Defense Department Inspector General’s Office or the congressional watchdog agency, the General Accountability Office (GAO).
The same year, a report prepared by the Defense Department’s inspector general confirmed:

NSA did not have sufficient oversight mechanisms to ensure the Agency efficiently accomplished its mission.​

Senator Church also warned in 1975:

[NSA's] capability at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left, such is the capability to monitor everything: telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn’t matter. There would be no place to hide. [If a dictator ever took over, the N.S.A.] could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back.​

The NSA has, of course, turned its capability around on the American people.
Top NSA whistleblower William Binney – the former head of the National Security Agency’s global digital data gathering program – held his thumb and forefinger close together over a year ago, andsaid:

We are, like, that far from a turnkey totalitarian state​

Another high-level NSA whistleblower – Thomas Drake – has also warned that mass surveillance is leading to tyranny.
And another NSA whistleblower – Russ Tice – agrees.
No wonder whistleblower Edward Snowden says:

[If people don't oppose the surveillance state now] it will be turnkey tyranny.​

You might also want to listen to what a government official who actually worked for a tyrannical government thinks about the American spying program. A lieutenant colonel in Stasi East Germany told McClatchy:

You know, for us, this would have been a dream come true. So much information, on so many people.
The dark side to gathering such a broad, seemingly untargeted, amount of information is obvious.
It is the height of naivete to think that once collected this information won’t be used. This is the nature of secret government organizations.
