bipolarber -> Police to spy on us? (8/17/2008 12:48:03 PM)
(From the Washington Post) by Spencer S. Hsu and Carrie Johnson (c/o them) WASHINGTON- "The justice department has proposed a new domestic spying measure that would make it easier for state and local police to collect intelligence about Americans, share the sensative data with federal agencies, and retain it for at least 10 years. The proposed changes would revise the federal government's rules for for police intelligence gathering for the first time since 1993 and would apply to any of the nations 18,000 state and local police agencies that receive roughly $1.8 billion each year in federal grants. Quietly unveiled late last month, the proposal is part of a flurry of domestic intelligence changes issued and planned by the Bush administration in it's waning months." Wow. And here we thought they meant it when they said that wiretapping was just on overseas calls. Well, it just seems to support everything I've said about Bush and the GOP... they're out to turn the US into "1984."

How can this happen with a Democratic majority in Congress and in control of all oversight committees! I think there should be a 100% recall and/or move for impeachment!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/15/AR2008081503497.html Hmmm...if the police are no longer policing, because they have been shifted to intelligence gathering for the benefit of various federal agencies not concerned with local crime, and the military is turned into a police force tasked with rounding up and hauling off those singled out by said agencies, who does that leave to actually be the police and the military? Blackwater? Yeah, what could go wrong with that picture? Who can tell us why this isn't being fought tooth and nail by those freedom loving liberal leaders and pundits? Hillary? Barack? Nancy? Bueller? Anybody???

Big brother is just around the corner. Soon we will all be tagged with an electronic chip that tells them everything about what you are doing, where you are doing, who you are doing it with, when you are doing it and how long it took you to do it. If you don't want this...now is the time to speak up and vote those morons we have in Washington out and get some new morons!
