The Government’s War on Privacy
In order to “make us safer” the government wants to take away our privacy. It’s a scam, but its going forward anyway at considerable expense.
The FBI is gearing up to create a massive computer database of people’s physical characteristics, all part of an effort the bureau says to better identify criminals and terrorists.
The FBI wants to use eye scans, combined with other data, to help identify suspects.
But it’s an issue that raises major privacy concerns—what one civil liberties expert says should concern all Americans.
The bureau is expected to announce in coming days the awarding of a $1 billion, 10-year contract to help create the database that will compile an array of biometric information—from palm prints to eye scans.
Meanwhile, to show how much he cares about our privacy Bush as made sure no one sits on an oversight committee.
The screws will keep on turning unless we elect someone who will reverse these trends. I seriously doubt Hillary is that person. McCain? Not likely.
Ron Paul is looking better all the time.
Do you know the difference between Ron Paul and Barack Obama? Obama is a sincere fascist. Paul got into the White House he’d find a reason to keep and use the tools provided by the friendly control freaks and ideologues in our ass warding agencies.
It’s easy for a man to maintain his purity when temptation is rare and falling to it is dangerous. It becomes much harder when temptation presents itself with every step, and can be had for a smile.
