Another Terrorist Attack And The Answer Is A Loss Of More Freedom

From Real Clear Politics:

ANDREA MITCHELL, MSNBC: Congressman, briefly, do you think that this will lead to more cameras? I know it's controversial, there are privacy issues. Boston does have a lot of cameras. European cities, led by London, have the most. Are Americans going to have to get used to more surveillance on a daily basis?

REP. PETER KING (R-NY): I think we do because I think privacy involves being in a private location. Being out in the street is not an expectation of privacy. Anyone can look at you, can see you, can watch what you're doing. A camera just makes it more sophisticated, but it's no different from your neighbor looking out the window at you or a police officer looking at you walking down the street.
So, I do think we need more cameras. We have to stay ahead of the terrorists and I do know in New York, the Lower Manhattan Security Initiative, which is based on cameras, the outstanding work that results from that. So yes, I do favor more cameras. They're a great law enforcement method and device. And again, it keeps us ahead of the terrorists, who are constantly trying to kill us.
I hope also that members of Congress, both parties, including my own, will realize that the war against terror is not over. And it's foolhardy to be making cuts in Homeland Security, especially to cities, whose police departments need this to train and to be ready to take on terrorism. (Andrea Mitchell Reports, April 16, 2013)

When Sandyhook happened they couldn't wait to come after our guns.Now,with the terrorist attack in Boston,they want to keep us under constant surveillance.

ATF Seeking To Create 'Massive Online Database'

From cnsnews.com:

A recent solicitation from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) reveals that the agency is seeking a "massive" online database capable of pulling up individuals' personal information, connections and associates.

The 'Final Death Sentence For The Fourth Amendment'

From WND commentary:

And now for the first time in American history, according to the Government Accountability Project’s Jesselyn Radack, Attorney General Eric Holder has officially and publicly declared “new guidelines that permit the federal counterterrorism investigators to collect, search and store data about Americans who are not suspected of terrorism, or anything …
“According to the Justice Department, law enforcement and other national security agencies can copy entire databases and sift through the data for suspicious patterns to stop potential terrorist threats” (“Govt. Keeping Data on Americans With No Connection to Terrorism,” whistleblower.org, March 23).
Where in the Constitution do “suspicious patterns” – otherwise undefined and outside the jurisdiction of our courts – allow the government to put large and growing numbers of us into databases for future tracking?
Indeed, Radack writes, this gossamer of “information” is being stored “on Americans who are not even thinking about committing a crime.”
As of this writing, Mitt Romney appears very likely to be the Republicans’ choice to thwart President Barack Obama’s desire for a second term. Have you heard any objection from him on this purge of privacy?
And which government agency will lead in this final death sentence for the Fourth Amendment? Emerging from its customary deep secrecy is our nation’s (and probably the world’s) most immense spy center, the National Security Agency.

At some point we all have to admit that the 'war on terror' has grown to be a bigger threat to our liberties and our way of life than Al-Qaeda ever has been.

Big Brother 'Wants To Spy On You Through Your TV'

From the Daily Mail:

When people download a film from Netflix to a flatscreen, or turn on web radio, they could be alerting unwanted watchers to exactly what they are doing and where they are.
Spies will no longer have to plant bugs in your home - the rise of 'connected' gadgets controlled by apps will mean that people 'bug' their own homes, says CIA director David Petraeus.
The CIA claims it will be able to 'read' these devices via the internet - and perhaps even via radio waves from outside the home.

Why more and more people are not outraged by the constant surveillance that the average American is under daily defies belief.We are watched on the on the road through traffic cams.We are watched in the stores we visit.Many of you would be shocked by the detailed information that the Federal government has compiled on each one of us.They know who our friends are.They no our medical history.They know what our political and religious beliefs are.They know our spending and eating habits.Even your phone calls are monitored by the NSA.Their is very little Big Brother doesn't know about us and most of us could care less.

One of the reasons I think we are so apathetic to the governments prying eyes is television.Through programs like NCIS,Person of Intrest,and any of the CSI shows we have become desensitized to surveillance.What can be so bad about Gibbs using it to catch a 'bad guy' every week?He would never use such things to compile information on a 'good guy' like me?Think again,darlin. 

Big Brother Seeking To Get A Birds Eye View Of You

From The Washington Times:

Look! Up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It’s … a drone, and it’s watching you. That’s what privacy advocates fear from a bill Congress passed this week to make it easier for the government to fly unmanned spy planes in U.S. airspace.
The FAA Reauthorization Act, which President Obama is expected to sign, also orders the Federal Aviation Administration to develop regulations for the testing and licensing of commercial drones by 2015.

This is another step to place us under total surveillance by a Big Brother police state.
