For what follows, keep in mind that AT&T is not just an internet service and cell phone service provider.
Pay attention to the segment underlined below that applies to all other providers that join in technical collaboration with AT&T to provide services.
You can see how the Obama administration originated the issue in 2009.
Following the controversy of the Tea Party targeting by the DOJ/IRS, if you have read the CTH articles about the 2009 creation of the Fourth Branch of Government, this letter from Senator Ron Wyden outlines the source of the 2009 origin we have been talking about.
What Obama and Holder did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons of government only targeted one side of the political continuum.
The Patriot Act turned the intel surveillance radar from foreign searches for terrorists to domestic searches for terrorists.
In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus, instructed by Vice President Dick Cheney, was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats.
The electronic surveillance system that was originally created to monitor threats from abroad was retooled to monitor threats inside our country.
What Barack Obama and Eric Holder did with that new construct was refine the internal targeting mechanisms so that only their political opposition became the target of this new national security system.
The problems we face now as a country are directly an outcome of two very distinct points that were merged by Barack Obama.
The post 9/11 monitoring of electronic communication of American citizens; and Obama's team creating a fine-tuning knob that it focused on the politics of the targets.
