Your gait. Your handwriting. Who your friends are (and where they are). Your bank records. Your school records, going right back to everything on your "permanent record" right back to kindergarten. Every doctor's visit you've ever made. What you sound like, what you smell like. Where your car is, right now.
Every motherfucking thing that it possible to know about you, the FBI wants in its databases. As the Privacy Blog points out, an FBI minion will be able to type your name into a computer and your entire life will be there for him or her to delve into. You might not remember who the name of your fourth grade gym teacher was, but the FBI will know. You may have forgotten the names of your co-workers at your first job, but the FBI will know.
Why do you think that there is a consistent push for a cashless society? The FBI hates the idea of you paying cash for anything. They want to know where you buy your morning coffee and what you have. There is no detail about your life that is too insignificant for the Ghost of Jedgar Hoover's massive filing cabinets.
Compared to what the FBI wants to accumulate on all Americans, the Soviet Union and East Germany were beacons of individual privacy.
Fuck ISIS. The biggest threat to our freedom comes from those thugs at 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC.

Good thing we're having 8 years of president Hope'n'Change. Imagine the state our rights would be in if the red team had won the last round.
You know how we're gonna fix this? Voting blue team again. And again. And again. And never actually holding blue team players to their professed values and the will of their constituents.
Because think of how bad it would be if the red team won! spooooooooky!
It was a non-artisan post, but hey, you want to go there and think that Team Red will do any better, fine.
Which party had the White House and pushed the USA PATRIOT Act into law? Which president's administration came up with the Total Information Awareness system? Which president authorized the use of torture?
Turn off Fox News, boy. It's rotting your brain.
I hate living in dystopian novels. Always have.
Reblogged; thanks.
