I think if Stalin himself came out of the grave and assumed control of the U.S. executive, the AmeriKan MSM wouldn't report it.
God praise the blogs!!!
"Comcast Is Hiring an Internet Snoop for the Feds
"Wanna tap e-mail, voice and Web traffic for the government? Well, here's your chance. Comcast, the country's second-largest Internet provider, is looking for an engineer to handle "reconnaissance" and "analysis" of "subscriber intelligence" for the company's "National Security Operations."
.... But the person in this job won't just be snooping for the government. He or she will also "perfor[m] diagnosis on data, voice, and video services to detect and respond to fraudulent activity such as theft of service and speed enhancement...."
We have Comcast, too! Pffffffft!
Take a look, monitor.
"Phone spies: Town halls using anti-terror powers to bug residents' calls and emails
"Town hall snoopers used controversial anti-terror powers to delve into the phone and email records of thousands of people last year. They wanted to check for evidence of dog smuggling and storing petrol without permission - and even to trace a suspected bogus faith healer.
In one case they were inquiring into unburied animal carcasses....
Many of those spied upon will have no idea they have been subjected to surveillance, as those who are innocent have no right to know."
I wonder if they got my message?

Police to Seal Off D.C. Neighborhoods

Yeah, thank God we got DemocraPs looking out for us, huh?
"ACLU Says No Deal on an Unconstitutional FISA Compromise (6/5/2008)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: (202) 675-2312 or media@dcaclu.org
Washington, DC – As news continues to trickle down from Capitol Hill regarding a deal on surveillance legislation, the American Civil Liberties Union once again voiced its fervent opposition to any attempt to undercut the Fourth Amendment or allow the telecommunications companies to gain blanket immunity for illegal spying. Before the Memorial Day recess the ranking member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Senator Christopher Bond (R-MO) floated what he claims is a compromise on surveillance legislation that will allow for sham court proceedings, virtually guaranteeing immunity to telecommunications companies. The ACLU strongly opposes this unconstitutional proposal.
"Congress should remember that the majority of Americans are against unwarranted and warrantless surveillance," said Caroline Fredrickson, director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. "They are against slamming the courthouse doors and letting the phone companies off the hook for selling out their privacy. If that’s where most Americans stand, who exactly is Congress representing?"
In a troubling recent report, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Silvestre Reyes (D-TX) was quoted as saying he was "fine" with Senator Bond's surveillance proposal and immunity provision, and wanted to "get on with" FISA legislation. If true, it is a disappointing turn from someone who once said, "As someone who has been briefed on our most sensitive intelligence programs, I can see no argument why the future security of our country depends on whether past actions of telecommunications companies are immunized."

--MORE--"
And if you think it won't happen to you, guess again:
"Student arrested for marijuana possession, threatened by cops to inform, gets killed in sting"
Sig Heil!
