"The CIA’s admission that it broke into Senate computers and spied on Intelligence Committee staffers has created a firestorm for the spy agency, with some calling for change at the top. The agency’s admission this week that officials hacked into Senate staffers’ computers comes after months of controversy about the surveillance activities exposed by Edward Snowden. Though the CIA’s hacking is unrelated to the activities of the National Security Agency (NSA), the snooping on Congress could add to the perception that America’s spy agencies are out of control."

Now, if we could move the US Capitol to the Texas/Arizona/Mexican border maybe they'd be a little more excited about border security.

Didn't they know that if any internal US spying were to be done it should be under the auspices of the FBI?

So much for the promise to rebuild trust in the government.
The trust is gone.

The government of the USA was never to have a police force against the people, if people were to be truly free from government oppression.

Elected officials called Sheriff's, were the only law enforcement of the land.
The federal government, through legislation, would effect the states, not the people.
Legislation on the state level was to effect the counties and parish, not the people.
County legislation was to effect the people of the county. That is why Sheriff's were elected on a County level.

Notice all town and cities that have a police force, are incorporated? Yes, a corporation, with hired security to protect the wealthy & elite CEO's.

Our 4th and 5th amendment rights are all but GONE!

That's what happens when government is too big.

There's no over-sight on those agencies. They do whatever they want to do, and there's zero-accountability.

And even that wouldn't be so bad, except those people are fanatics.

I've mentioned that before, but I don't know how to explain or relate it to others. I was warned, but I dismissed it. Then I had some contact with those people at various events in the MDW and they are truly fanatics.

They take the meaning of "patriots-on-steroids" to a whole new level...one that is frightening.

Auspiciously....
