It is Time to Knock off the Bullshit About Surveillance for Terrorism
The worldwide collection of phone calls, emails, text messages and our total loss of privacy is all about taxes – NOT terrorism. With all this power and the demand that encryption be outlawed, not any of this surveillance has stopped one terrorist act. There was the Boston bombers, two kids using cell phones. They didn’t catch that either. Then there was the two guys dressing up as women who attacked the NSA itself. They didn’t know about that. Then Charlie Hebdo, that too was a surprise. Now we have an all out assault on civilians in Paris carried out by 3 suicide squads and again they were clueless.This surveillance does not work because they are really monitoring the people for taxes or they would not be storing everything forever.

They then kept them in jars in case they turned up missing to hunt them down.
