Default Hey look! the FBI and NSA are data-mining and analyzing your data!

Both the National Security Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are said to have been secretly mining data directly from the servers of at least nine top U.S.-based technology companies, according to The Washington Post.

You really shouldn't be surprised, because:

Also, 20 million a year? Finally a government project that is cost efficient!

I'm nowhere near surprised. I expected this.

Yeah, I have talked openly about my evil schemes both in person and online, yet I'm still barely on a single government watchlist! I wonder what I have to do, besides running into a kindergarten naked to get on more.

Barely? As in sort of, kind of, almost?

Nope, that would be your local law enforcement people that would like to have some words with you.
FBI-worthy stuff would be terrorist activities, colluding with those turban-wearing extremists, a lengthy history of hijacking planes, building bombs, threatening presidents...

It's just for your best. Believe it.

States are manifestations of what usually is called the "mob" or the "organised crime". They steal (expropriation and more and more deleting and reducing of rights of property), murder (declare wars and send soldiers), and blackmail for protection money (taxation). Without need they demand you to do what they tell you to do. Every piece of your private life, has to accept more and more regulation, sniffing, documentation, checking for system-compatability and intellectual obedience. Now this gangster that the state is, has cable.

"Now"...? The US ic monitoring all telecommunication throughout Europe and in almost all the world. The mioracles of modern technology allow that. Automatically. And since a very very long time already.

Having the wrong thought-identity will become a crime. You' ll live to see it. It's all moving towards socialism, planned economy (we already have that, the economy is suffocating with regulations, and the humoristic so-called "money" is a 100% state-planned thing totally disconnected from markets), centralist dictatorship.

We will surpass the Soviet Union in every regard. Well, we asked for it, and political criminals are happy to deliver. For a small price of course. Our freedom, and us allowing to get silenced by having us voting in a meaningless election every couple of years whose only purpose is to have us legitimizing the monumental crime committed against us, and installing a caste of antisocial, unscrupulous parasites who are sucking our blood, live at our costs, and demand us to praise them for their abuse of us.

Yeah!

I'm flattered actually. I didn't think anybody cared.

What is pitiful is that it is completely legal under the patriot act.

We in America have no rights.
We have privileges. Privileges that can be curtailed at the drop of a hat or a fat friggin lie.

If you need proof...
Go to Wikipedia and search for Japanese/Americans 1942. Thousands of citizens, born here, were rounded up and placed in internment camps simply because their parents were born in a country that declared war on us. No accusations, no warrants, no jury trial, no due process. Just, we see you as a threat to the public order and now you're free to walk into this camp we made for you for an indefinite period of time. It's for your own safety.

Our government and its agencies are riddled with paranoid psychopathic liars that are afraid of their own shadows. Considering the way they keep trampling on the constitution, I don't wonder at it.

They can monitor anything they want because I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince them of their errors.

don't forget about the red scare of the 50s where respectable citizens would loose everything because of possible political affiliation.
