Chairman Zero has a new bill coming next year according to the NY Times that would require ‘all services that enable communications‘ to technically comply with a wiretap order. This bullshit is out of freakin’ hand and I don’t want to hear one damn word about how great the liberty-usurping Patriot Act is or how it has protected us after 9.11. It’s been nothing but a ‘do-whatever-they-damn-well-please’ act for the federal government.
U.S. Is Working to Ease Wiretaps on the Internet
WASHINGTON — Federal law enforcement and national security officials are preparing to seek sweeping new regulations for the Internet, arguing that their ability to wiretap criminal and terrorism suspects is “going dark” as people increasingly communicate online instead of by telephone.
Essentially, officials want Congress to require all services that enable communications — including encrypted e-mail transmitters like BlackBerry, social networking Web sites like Facebook and software that allows direct “peer to peer” messaging like Skype — to be technically capable of complying if served with a wiretap order. The mandate would include being able to intercept and unscramble encrypted messages.
Let’s just keep nudging the internet into a corner and very soon it isn’t going to matter anymore. Remember, the first target in a war is the lines of communication, and if you don’t think we are in a war for our liberties, I apologize for trying to tear you away from ‘American Idol’.
James X. Dempsey, vice president of the Center for Democracy and Technology, an Internet policy group, said the proposal had “huge implications” and challenged “fundamental elements of the Internet revolution” — including its decentralized design.
“They are really asking for the authority to redesign services that take advantage of the unique, and now pervasive, architecture of the Internet,” he said. “They basically want to turn back the clock and make Internet services function the way that the telephone system used to function.”
But law enforcement officials contend that imposing such a mandate is reasonable and necessary to prevent the erosion of their investigative powers.
“We’re talking about lawfully authorized intercepts,” said Valerie E. Caproni, general counsel for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. “We’re not talking expanding authority. We’re talking about preserving our ability to execute our existing authority in order to protect the public safety and national security.”
Their ‘existing authority’ is over the top right now, but, oh damn, the FBI is falling behind so the rest of you have to slow down and accept the handicap so they can catch up. Who are the dumb f***in’ moos?
this is utter bullshit and I cannot believe that this is even happening, although I have been saying this same thing for the past year and a half, why aren’t these criminals not going up on charges of treason!!!
What’s sad is that it’s already a one world government police state. People just don’t realize it yet.
I was listening to Alex Jones on Friday; he interviewed PA Rep. Daryl Metcalfe. According to Metcalfe Tea Party activists had made the “Pennsylvania terror threat list generated by an Israeli company. Now we learn that Second Amendment as well as anti-tax activists were also snooped by the state with the assistance of he Institute of Terrorism Research and Response.”
Can you imagine?! We now have foreign entities spying on us and reporting us to the UN.
Well yes, I can imagine. Remember awhile back when he signed the EO that gave Interpol and other foreign law enforcement agencies immunity while inside our borders? I’ll have to go find the post about it for you guys to refresh your memories.

There are no words to adequately describe this and all the other perfidies that this malevolent idiot has tried to perpetrate. What matters now is this:
EVERY AMERICAN WITH A PULSE MUST GET OUT AND OVERWHELM THE VOTING BOOTHS THIS NOVEMBER TO INSURE THE RESTORATION OF SOME CHECKS AND BALANCES HERE.
Anger is born out of righteous fear, and believe me when I say that I am angry about what has been foisted upon this great nation by a league of misguided losers with their own agenda; I am TERRIFIED of what these bottom feeders are doing, but I STILL BELIEVE that Americans can turn this around by standing up for what is right: our Constitution, our system of voting, and our code of honor, the last of which has been vanishing at a rapid rate over the past several years. It is NOT too late to restore honor and integrity to our country and fight for what is right. After all…there are MORE OF US THAN THERE ARE OF *THEM*!
Here’s the headline in The Sacramento Bee: “Feds seek to expand online spying”, “New Wiretap Push Stirs Up Privacy Issues”.
I wonder what all the liberals in Sacramento will think when they read this? I’ll answer my own questions, “Probably not think at all.” My gosh, it’s right in front of their faces…
…and they are drinking fluoridated water. What do you expect?
Your quote from Plato says it all how often do I hear people say ” I dont vote, it does’nt matter ” I guess the fluoride is working..lol..but serioulsy when only about a quarter of the population votes in primaries what does that tell you? They know more about “snookie” than the constitution, pretty fucking sad. Makes me think all the Patriots that fought for our Freedoms in died in vain. When we have so few of our greatest generation left, I wonder how they feel about. Thanks for letting me vent.

Welcome….and who is ‘snookie’? I know I’m just a stupid moo…
Those giggling people having orgasms at Obama’s town hall meetings, and back yard meetings, apparently don’t realize what Chairman Zero really wants to do to the American people. He wants to own you, lock stock and barrel. He wants total control. Tell your stupid liberal friends that this guy will destroy their lives and the big question is, will he do it with smiling, laughing useful idiots at these little meetings? Liberals are idiots and voting for this freakshow and his cast of commies is pure poison. Stop this man. Vote in November to stop this man’s party. Take away his majority. Then, we have 2 years to peck away at the Chairman and throw this destroyer OUT. He is the most dangerous man in the world. One world order, that’s what this guy is for. Throw this freak out.
