Hey Barrack, you want anything?
My father tapped phones in Miami circa 1968.
Prediction:
The people who complain the loudest about law enforcement accessing meta-data telephone records will also be the same who think the government needs to do more in the War on Drugs.
Muzzies and Antifa hardest hit.

I could have told you some of that years ago. Problem is that then there were two kinds of people, the ones who would never believe it and the ones who already assumed. Not much of a point in discussing it back then. Everyone should know better now.
I want to see the call records of the clintons and obama’s and members of congress.
From the clintons we would know who the hitmen are that they use and obama on who pulls his strings and congress on who is bribing who.
Hey Barrack, you want anything?
If this is real, why haven’t the people behind “Sharon, from Account Services” been incarcerated?
If you want an election issue to run on, taking out those people would be one.
Why is this capability not being used to track down the Drug Cartel networks in this country? It seems to me that with this capability, the networks would be snuffed out in no time.

Of course. And it didn’t stop with telephones. The government can see anything you have posted on FB and other media, even if you deleted it. They have it in black and white. It’s your words. Saying it was a joke, or that you didn’t mean it, or that it was a mistake won’t work. They have it in clear, digital text. Easy prosecution.
Still think this is the land of the free? It ain’t no mo!
War on drugs is an excuse to set up the system of surveillance. The real purpose is control.
We learned of this back in 1984, after an a federal investigation was conducted to find out why hundreds of churches were getting billed, for thousands of hours of “adult”, “1-900” numbers across the Midwest, simutaneously.
In a single month, the small church (of about 80-100 people), which my family attended had been billed approximately $28,000 dollars by AT&T itself. This happened for a few months. The church building had a line, but no one was there in the building except 3 days a week.
In the end, a federal investigator literally told the pastor and deacons, that by regulation, every phone call and conversation was actually recorded, but they also had to know what they were looking for, and a judge had to sign off on warrants to ATT. The feds were able to go back and confirm the calls were made using the church number, but not made from the church line, as the feds were able to trace the origins of the actual call to AT&T itself. ATT did try to go after the couple hundred churches they initially billed however, until the feds stopped them.
During the federal investigation, it was discovered there was a small group of homosexuals working at AT&T, who had been caught, and admitted to devising a plan to go after churches, to hopefully shut them down.
There plan swept our small Baptist church up, with others across the Midwest, and tried to bill the churches for the “adult”, “1-900” numbers, with bills no church could afford, and which AT&T would try to sue all of the churches for. A few churches had already been shut down over it.
Investigators were able to establish the calls were being dialed very quickly, one after the next, from AT&T itself, using the churches phone numbers, and they were able to discover all of this by going back and having access to all data and any possible human recordings.
The homosexual group at AT&T, thought they could make the churches look really bad, stick them with bills which could not be paid, while simultaneously getting AT&T to legally come go after each church, which AT&T initially did.
For the sake of this article though, phone conversations and data have been recorded for several decades, as we actually experienced.
