Washington is well known for their deceptive titling of legislation. "Affordable? Care? Act" is anything but. Not affordable, not about care. Well we should also look at the Patriot Act. I full believe that our founding fathers would spin in their graves if they looked at this act. It peels away basic fundamental rights that they fought and died for. Here a group of overpaid, pampered egotists seek to further erode our rights by having unnamed judges secretly sign broad warrants and collect massive amounts of data on our citizens. It may sound innocuous, but knowing who calls whom, when and how long is a violation or our basic rights. I don't always agree with Rand Paul, but on this one, he is spot on.
This is only the surface of the data they are really collecting. It just hasn't surfaced yet, but some day we will find out the extent to which our people are being spied on by our government. Recently, a city in the Phoenix metro area quietly installed cameras inside hollowed out cactus. Cameras all over the city now track and report the movements of vehicles by trapping their license numbers and compiling a database. They have done this on I-17, I-10 and other major route for some time as well as mobile cameras on police vehicles.
Though I have nothing to hide and not aware of any skeletons in the closet, it is unnerving to know that they can track me real-time throughout the city. Why do they need to know where I am going, where I have been or even what I am doing as long as it is legal?
We are now learning more about the fake cell towers that trap and collect our calls. Pretty scary by itself. If that isn't enough, the military, DEA, Homeland Security and other agencies are practicing taking over parts of our country in exercises deemed Jade Helm 15. I see the vehicles, tankers, hmmvs and other equipment barreling down the interstate bound for the exercises. Just a matter of time....
Sadly, our forefathers would be angry beyond belief to see the Constitution trampled on so flagrantly.
God Bless America, please help us in our time of need.
