[b]Former Top NSA Official: “We Are Now In A Police State”[/b]
Quote
Last year, Binney held his thumb and forefinger close together, and said:

We are, like, that far from a turnkey totalitarian state.

But today, Binney told Washington’s Blog that the U.S. has already become a police state.

Not only that, everyone is a law breaker who can be summarily thrown in jail


washington blog link

Since anyone CAN be thrown in jail.... I think we should lock up Michelle Bachman, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh....lock up Scalia and CLarence Thomas... I could go on... lock up all them lawbreaking tea partiers. Lock up everyone at Fox News. Lock em all up, because as we know it is a totalitarian state and this state has the goods on how every one of these people are guilty of a crime. Hey, I think we should turn the entire state of Texas into an enormous concentration camp... The gas chambers are optional if people do not cooperate.

Is that your dream for eliminating anyone that you either disagree with or hate? Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge, and others felt that way, too.Kim Jong-Un is a more recent example. Wouldn't it be easier to just change the channel? I don't understand the point to your above post, if there were ever one in the first place. This thread is about privacy, government surveillance, the Fourth Amendment, due process, the rule of law, etc. Why don't you start your own thread on people that you would most like to see censored, locked up in concentration camps, or exterminated? Or, possibly combine it with your drone thread where you don't see drones as an issue, yet started a thread on drones?

Hitler et al operated police states

According to your post we. Now have a full fledged police stAte.

I am simply suggesting that our dictator should act like a proper dictator and start. Eliminating annoying political opponents.

The best part of having. Big brother stAte is they take care of such disruptive people.

A federal criminal investigator "investigated" my charges and charged me with USC 1001. I charged him with that and more, but I learned the hard- and expensive way- that it doesn't work that way. I have no intention of retrying lost cases. At the time, I had suspicions that the government tampered with my first set and then second set of lawyers. I was forced to proceed pro se. I'm not into playing lawyer. However, I had no alternative. After I deposed the VP and General Counsel, among corp. others,they testified that never heard of this criminal investigator, who was subsequently promoted. The point is that not only did this CI fabricate the charges, he also fabricated his report charging with criminal violations. My goal is to get some illegal surveillance devices, which 3 experts verified but refused to supply their reports, removed. Does that seem unreasonable? Joe
Ardy, it's been six months and you still haven't answered my question: "My goal is to get some illegal surveillance devices, which 3 experts verified but refused to supply their reports, removed. Does that seem unreasonable?"

I guess it seems reasonable.

Otoh miscarriage of justice and arrogant power structures are the near universal rule of human society I do not see your situation a proof that we live in police state.
