Freedoms Lost

January 20, 2012 By The Editors

John W. Whitehead lays out a terrifying list of freedoms that Americans lost in 2011. It’s a New Year’s countdown of constitutional infringement by the American government. This trend was begun by the Bush administration, but has been extended and expanded under Obama. Here are a few of the intrusions Whitehead points out in his article.

NSA Headquarters

The increase in U.S. security agencies surveillance:

Several years ago, government officials acknowledged that the nefarious intelligence gathering entity known as the National Security Agency (NSA) had exceeded its legal authority by eavesdropping on Americans’ private email messages and phone calls. However, these reports barely scratch the surface of what we are coming to recognize as a “security/industrial complex”—a marriage of government, military and corporate interests aimed at keeping Americans under constant surveillance.

Internet surveillance:

In late July 2011, the House Judiciary Committee passed the cleverly titled “Protecting Children from Internet Pornographers Act of 2011,” which laid the groundwork for all internet traffic to be easily monitored by government officials.

So-called Fusion Centers, which are:

data collecting agencies spread throughout the country, aided by the National Security Agency—which constantly monitor our communications, everything from our internet activity and web searches to text messages, phone calls and emails.

Pat-downs and strip searches:

Under the direction of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), American travelers have been subjected to all manner of searches ranging from whole-body scanners and enhanced pat-downs at airports to bag searches in train stations.

The list goes on and on. Read Whitehead’s article for the scary details.
