Basically every email is collected for later use. No wonder Bill Clinton boast he only sent two email as President.

To some, Geroge Orwell’s “1984” wasn’t a cautionary tale, but a handbook.

Obama is the worst president in the history of the USA. He needs to resign. Wished I could say more.

FR progress. A few years ago, guys like this were called traitors on here. Maybe Obama is good for something.

Shep Smith had a good one the other day. “Why aren't the people worried that we will become another Greece worried that we're becoming another East Germany?”

I believe that the government collects every email written. Here’s why.

The government consists of bureaucrats who are constantly looking for a reason to maintain their little kingdoms inside the divisions and departments of the state. Collecting every email sounds like the sort of ditch digging make-work that the state used to do with an updated technological twist. It sounds more impressive than it is, in other words. I would imagine that there are trillions, maybe more, of emails sitting in some computer somewhere. How does the state sift out what it needs from that? And those who are actually involved in some kind of nefarious activity aren’t going to put in their address line, “Cocaine shipment at the docks with tonight’s freighter.” How does the state sift through code words, idiom, nuance, and hint that people use to communicate?

So it sounds like government appropriations in a supersized effort to look like something important is happening, when actually it’s a huge cluster chasing stupidity with money down the toilet. In that way it makes sense.

And if really bad guys wanted to get around this, they’d write notes on paper.

Like Clinton did, no doubt.

Now you know why the General and his cupcake used the “Draft” cutout and never sent emails to each other.

The combination of voyeurism and the obsessive compulsion to collect the personal information of everyone at all times indicates two things.

1) Extreme boredom. There is not enough of a real threat to keep them occupied, so they deal in imaginary threats, then theoretical threats, then just voluminous mountains of utterly useless data. Why? Because it is there, and needs to be spied on.

2) Inefficiency. This indicts not just the intelligence community, but the entire government. They cannot deal with the major issues and real threats, so they focus on minutiae and data worth little more than randomly generated nonsense.

The East German Stasi was somewhat like this, keeping enormous dossiers on its citizens, filled with information like toilet paper consumption, routes to and from work, when they would eat lunch, etc. And even though they had coerced half the nation to inform on the other half, it still amounted to nothing.

The bottom line is that the United States 16 major intelligence agencies, its 100+ federal police agencies, and its other horribly bloated bureaucracy are unsustainable and need to be seriously pruned. Not just because they are overgrown and inefficient, but because the US needs some amount of what they are supposed to be doing, which they are not because they are messing around with trivia.

If no-one noticed the host is with the channel RT, which is Russia Today. It seems to get the news, that the US refuses to report on, one has to go overseas. I first saw RT on Dish Network at work, and there is only 1 admitted liberal there, by a hardcore prepper.

News and they have some smoking hot hosts.

You can be assurd, everybody on this website is under surveillance. We are enemies of the State; a terrorist group with a terrorist website.

This started in the 1990s, but I don’t think PREZBILL was at fault, just a monster that was created and has grown. Every e-mail, phone call, transaction, everything is recorded by NSA.....no one is watching you unless a codeword is triggered....of course it could be political.....PREZBO is not doing this, he is just the recipient....

all info stored, no matter the post. . . Basically every email is collected for later use.

This might have me very concerned. Then I reflect on the people collecting it. Will the Feds to be just as effective at using all this information as they are at running the U.S. Postal Service, Amtrak, and the State Department?

What was that expression: "He who knows everything, knows nothing."

Well if they’re accessing these let me state that every democrat holding office in the country today is a bed-wetting nitwit with a mother fixation and graced with the brains God gave grapes. That goes for the moron-in-chief, his brain-damaged second in command and all the munchkins in congress. Every stinking male democrat in office is “equipped” shall we say like a salmon and every female, not that there’s much difference, is ugly enough to scare a blind dog of a meat truck.

Store that.
