FBI's New Rules on Investigations

The shorter version: "We can investigate anyone we damn well please for any reason that suits us and there is not a frakking thing that you can do about it."
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is giving significant new powers to its roughly 14,000 agents, allowing them more leeway to search databases, go through household trash or use surveillance teams to scrutinize the lives of people who have attracted their attention.
Civil liberties: They were fun while we had them.

The creepy part is we still call it the United States of America. That reminds me of a snippet of the Donner Party story, wherein a still living baby was hugging to the partially-eaten corpse of its mother.

The Constitution is no longer an impediment to the ruling powers.

I grew up in Berkeley in the 1960's
WE cared about all this shit back then and tried to warn everyone who would listen.
Sad that so few did listen.
Now we All face the result of not listening.
The States Of Amerika, it exists in my lifetime, and so very sad it is for I was raised to be a Patriot that THIS might Not Come To Pass.
My Dad a WW2 vet and what he termed "a Humanist" afterward would weep in his Grave to see what "His" country has become.
