" The voice of protest, of warning, of appeal is never more needed than when the clamor of fife and drum, echoed by the press and too often by the pulpit, is bidding all men fall in and keep step and obey in silence the tyrannous word of command. Then, more than ever, it is the duty of the good citizen not to be silent:" Charles Eliot Norton

NSA domestic spying is the tip of the iceberg pursuant to the data that is being accumulated by this government on its citizens.

And this extensive information is being gathered by people with strong right wing Republican affiliations.

Greg Palast, Buzzflash, indentifies the culprit CHOICE POINT as well as the alarming concerns.


Excerpt: Worried about Dick Cheney listening in Sunday on your call to Mom? That ain't nothing. You should be more concerned that they are linking this info to your medical records, your bill purchases and your entire personal profile including, not incidentally, your voting registration.

NSA JUST WANTS YOUR TELEPHONE RECORDS; CHOICE POINT WANTS YOUR DNA

http://www.buzzflash.com/contributors/06/05/con06189.html

GREG PALAST BUZZFLASH - The leader in the field of what is called "data mining," is a company, formed in 1997, called, Choice Point which has sucked up over a billion dollars in national security contracts.

Worried about Dick Cheney listening in Sunday on your call to Mom? That ain't nothing. You should be more concerned that they are linking this info to your medical records, your bill purchases and your entire personal profile including, not incidentally, your voting registration.

Five years ago, I discovered that Choice Point had already gathered 16 billion data files on Americans -- and I know they've expanded their ops at an explosive rate.

They are paid to keep an eye on you -- because the FBI can't. For the government to collect this stuff is against the law unless you're suspected of a crime. (The law in question is the Constitution.)

But Choice Point can collect if for "commercial" purchases -- and under the Bush Administration's suspect reading of the Patriot Act ~ our domestic spying apparatchiks can then buy the info from Choice Point.

Choice Point's board has more Republicans than a Palm Beach country club. It was funded, and its board stocked, by such Republican sugar daddies as billionaires Bernie Marcus and Ken Langone -- even after Langone was charged by the Securities Exchange Commission with abuse of inside information. . .

Choice Point, a sickened executive of the company told us in confidence, "hope[s] to build a database of DNA samples from every person in the United States ...linked to all the other information held by CP" from medical to voting records. . .

The company publicly denied they gave DNA to the Feds -- but then told our investigator, pretending to seek work, that Choice Point was "the number one" provider of DNA info to the FBI.
