Surveilance State Bigger Than We Thought

We hear from government officials all sorts of conflicting information about what agency is collecting what specific personal information from private communications of the nation's citizens.  I do not know for sure what the truth is but I do know that evidence exists that massive surveillance is on-going and the personal data collected has been used for nefarious purposes.  In addition to sworn testimony regarding such activity by the NSA, CIA, FBI and IRS this piece of evidence gives me another reason to believe it may, indeed, be happening.   http://www.humanevents.com/2013/08/05/federal-agents-ordered-to-cover-up-massive-surveilance-database/

And, this item recounts then Senator Obama's warning that there would be government abuse of the Patriot Act.  As this article notes, despite his currently stated words to the contrary (as recent as this week on the "highly reliable" Leno Show), he and his administration are apparently proving the truth of his December 2005 warning.    http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2013/08/02/sen-obama-warned-about-patriot-act-abuses-president-obama-proved-him-right/
