AT&T Whistleblower: Spy Bill Creates 'Infrastructure for a Police State'
Mark Klein, the retired AT&T engineer who stepped forward with the technical documents at the heart of the anti-wiretapping case against AT&T, is furious at the Senate's vote on Wednesday night to hold a vote on a bill intended to put an end to that lawsuit and more than 30 others.

Klein saw a network monitoring room being built in AT&T's internet switching center that only NSA-approved techs had access to. He squirreled away documents and then presented them to the press and the Electronic Frontier Foundation after news of the government's warrantless wiretapping program broke.

Just a fellow news researcher. I often find it hard not to be buried in the spin. So I figured I would share some articles that wont receive any attention.

YOU WIPE MY BEHIND AND I WILL WIPE YOURS

This is a compromise. The citizens give up democracy in order to get

big brother spying on them. It is a win win situation. The administrations

crooks are free and the congresses oversight is free of obligation to

uphold the Constitution.

Long live our new monarchy. King Corporation wins again.

Hello friends
I have decided to take a break from political writing for a while and have disconnected my email address correlated with Opednews.

Of course it would

Given the statistics of....

nearly 1 million people on no-fly lists, including babies and Joe Smith's because their name matches someone else's on the "Terrorist" d-base, activists, and Democrats in public office such as Ted Kennedy (no Republicans on the no-fly list), it would seem to be obvious that the so-called "War on terror" is really a witchhunt for those who are "either for us or against us", usually the latter.

If the Patriot Act defines "terrorist" in over-broad terms which include activists, wouldn't that seem intentional?

I want to strongly suggest that any activist organization which believes that it cannot focus on ousting Congressmembers, in interest of maintaining the focus on its core mission, is truly defeating itself. And the American public. Because at the rate things are going, free speech will be no more (it's already being punished: See the paragraph above) and these activist entities will themselves be obsolete.

TIME TO OUST CONGRESS!!!

Expose the voting record of YOUR congressperson to the public and urge readers to vote them out of office. Do it as if your life depended on it, because....it could! Wars based on lies, anybody? MOre funding, more billions? Sure thing.

Time to get them out of there and get the masses thinking. With an aware and thinking mass, we will have a different America and this stuff will be no more.

I am neither Republican nor Democrat. I consider myself above all to be an American, above political parties in thinking and in my desire to see this country return to its former greatness. I therefore look at all issues with a critical eye, toss out the political propaganda and make up my own mind. I am opinionated and set in my ways, it takes some powerful convincing to change my mind once its set.

monitoring of Americans

I should be ashamed to admit this, but it doesn't surprise me. In fact, I, and millions of others, saw it coming and did nothing. When did it start? Look back to the 60s and 70s and the suppresion of the First Admendment during the anti-war protests. Our civil liberties have been slowly erroded to the point we have none. The Constitution has been raped and we let it happen. Now, newborn babies will have their DNA taken to be added to a national data base.  If you are stopped by a cop, for any reason, your fingerprints will be taken and added to yet another data base. Monitoring of our phone calls is just another nail in the coffin of freedom. Don't complain, we let it happen.
