It’s been given an innocent name: “Warrentless Surveillance” while it effectively did away with the 14 requirements

of the Fourth Amendment. . .  which reads:

“The right of the people

to be secure in:

their persons,

houses,

papers,

and effects,

against unreasonable searches and seizures,

shall not be violated, and

no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,

supported by Oath or affirmation, and

particularly describing

the place to be searched, and the

persons or

things to be seized.”

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” Ben Franklin, 1755. That’s 262 years ago.

The illegal use of wiretaps and bugs inside the Trump Tower enabled the Democrats via Obama to generate vast amounts of information – unrelated to any legitimate governmental interest – about the personal and political lives of American citizens including Donald Trump, his family and his associates.

Edward Snowden exposed some of the massive citizen spying by using over one and a half million documents and e-mails. Snowden had to flee from America to reveal the spying. He is under the protection of Vladimir Putin.

Intelligence and law enforcement communities and their allies in Congress appear determined to extend the warrantless surveillance program law, Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act.

“This is a tool that is essential to the safety of this country,” the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, told Congress at a hearing on Wednesday. 

The “potential criminal liability of the National Security Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency for operation SHAMROCK which was the interception of all international cable traffic from 1945 to 1975, and MINARET, the use of watchlists of U.S. dissidents and potential civil disturbers to provide intercept information to law enforcement agencies from 1969 to 1973)” helped persuade president Gerald Ford in 1976 to get around the prohibition of warrantless seek warrantless surveillance legislation, which was ultimately enacted as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act in 1978. 


President Clinton’s Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee that “The Department of Justice believes the president has authority to conduct warrantless physical searches This was used to search the home of CIA spy Aldrich Ames without a warrant. “It is important to understand”, Gorelick continued, “that the rules and methodology for criminal searches are inconsistent with the collection of foreign intelligence and would unduly frustrate the president in carrying out his foreign intelligence responsibilities”. He and Clinton told everyone he can ignore the Fourth Amendment and he was successful.


Government agents search intercepts “to find, extract, review, translate and assess” whether they might contain foreign intelligence — or “evidence of a crime” but they are supposed to get a warrant before they search for that evidence. Government has effectively repealed the Fourth Amendment thereby turning America into a police run state.


Thought Crime prosecutions are next where the government controls not only the speech and actions, but also the thoughts of Americans. General Flynn was the victim of his thoughts, .. ThoughtCrime.


The job of the secret police in the novel Nineteen Eighty-Four was to uncover and punish thoughtcrime. The Thought Police use surveillance to find and eliminate members of society who challenge the government’s authority and ideology.


You think that can’t happen here? So did the people were imprisoned for thoughtcrime during the 20th century totalitarian regimes, such as Stalin’s USSR, Mao’s China, and Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge.
