Land of the free?
You gotta be joking.
The "uncontrolled yet officially sanctioned privacy-trampling monster" known as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), has once again been reauthorized.
Because, uh, that's what "We the People" wanted... Amirite?
You know, represetative democracy and all that jazz.
Final Nail in America’s Coffin?
When future historians go searching for the final nail in the US coffin, they may well settle on the date April 20, 2024.
On that day Congress passed legislation to fund two and a half wars, hand what’s left of our privacy over to the CIA and NSA, and give the US president the power to shut down whatever part of the Internet he disagrees with.
It was a total victory for the war party.
After the House voted to send another $60 billion to notoriously corrupt Ukraine, Members waved Ukrainian flags on the House Floor and chanted “Ukraine, Ukraine.” While I find it distasteful and disgusting, in some way it seemed fitting. After all, they may as well chant the name of a foreign country because they certainly don’t care about this country!
Along with sending $100 billion that we don’t have to fund more overseas war, Speaker Johnson threw in another version of the Tik Tok ban, which gives Joe Biden and future presidents the power to shut down websites at will by simply declaring them to be “foreign adversary controlled.”
Not to be outdone, the US Senate on that same day passed the extension of Section 702 of the FISA Act, which not only allowed the government to continue spying on us without a warrant, but also contained new language massively expanding how they can spy on us.
You will pay for their wars, die in their wars, be spied upon and if you dare to dissent...
