Ramblings of an old Doc

 

 

This is nothing but an end run around the Fourth Amendment and Habaeus Corpus.

c|net has discovered this marked departure from Leahy’s prior approach:

“Leahy's rewritten bill would allow more than 22 agencies -- including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Federal Communications Commission -- to access Americans' e-mail, Google Docs files, Facebook wall posts, and Twitter direct messages without a search warrant. It also would give the FBI and Homeland Security more authority, in some circumstances, to gain full access to Internet accounts without notifying either the owner or a judge.

The list of agencies that would receive civil subpoena authority for the contents of electronic communications also includes the Federal Reserve, the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Maritime Commission, the Postal Regulatory Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, and the Mine Enforcement Safety and Health Review Commission.” – c|net

This is beyond the pale. True, the bill does state police must get warrants in some cases, the new bill empowers the Federal agencies to trample your privacy with impunity… and agencies which have no legitimate excuse, if there were any.

The FBI and other law enforcement agencies already must obtain warrants for e-mail in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, thanks to a ruling by the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2010.

While the 1980’s current legislation does need revamping, this isn’t it.

You need your voices to be heard, folks. If you’re quiet, you’ll deserve what you get.

Had you read those http://www.in5d.com/anonymous-judge-blows-the-whistle.html#.UKuMhSgQTmI.facebook

When I read those, most of them seem make sence to me and might be very truth...hmmm.

Land of the Free?  Seems like it's getting less and less so everytime a politician thinks, farts, opens his/her mouth.

Okay, maybe I was wrong to put "thinks" in there... so sue me. [where's the raspberry smiley when you need one?]

I know Australian politicians are all lying assholes and not worth a pinch of piss... but your lot.... worse... by far... like damned demonic worse.

I read recently that when a person emigrates from the US, cutting all business and employment ties and resettles [say] in Australia, it's law that he/she STILL HAS TO PAY TAXES IN THE US.  Like f**k!!  I mean, how ludicrous is that... having to support life here AND one there?   I know of one such family, been here for 40 years paying taxes, and now the US gov't is hitting them for 4 decades of back taxes on income derived here.  Worse still, our effwit, lying, cheating, backstabbing politicians are doing nothing to help them....because they're f**king puppets of the US gov't?

Even more ludicrous, one of them was just 6 when she arrived here.... but according to them, she owes taxes to the US govt for a period of 19 years employment [on Australian soil... AND AS AN AUSTRALIAN CITIZEN] prior to getting married. 

It's insane, totally insane!!

I really feel like 'shopping' them all into WWII uniforms... Axis variety.

Can anyone tell me the difference between this and the Gestapo?

Okay, but is it going to have a computer read it or an intern? I want to start some military comedy. It would be great free publicity to start out a few emails with bomb or death to America. Then I can put in some of my material and ask for feedback from the guys spying on me. 

 

I think I just took viral marketing to a whole new level. A national security level.

Freedom ends not with a bang, but with a whimper of security and safety.

When they put the SS on their sleeves then its time to exit this house. And I agree with starkers........when it comes to corruption the US has no equal. That and charging those who decided to get the hell out of this cesspool for back taxes! On money they made over there! That......is downright criminal!

Before "The Government" worries about everybody's email they might want to pay attention to their own.  It would be a lot more efficient.  "Thousands of pages" of flirtatious email? Really?

Well, if they vote this law in, it's our own damn fault for voting them in. Find me a good and honest politician anywhere in this country and I'll give you $5.00. I won't have to worry about that though, as no one could prove they're good and honest.

 

Also, a US Citizen living and earning an income abroad would have to make a heck of a lot of money over there, over $95K a year, to need to worry about taxes. They do have to file every year though just like the rest of us.

You guys have lost a lot of civil liberties since the Patriot Act started making its mucky grabs. It really is a diverging point in history compared to other, more free cultures. Maybe you'll recover eventually. I shudder to think what another successful terrorist act would do to you though.

I believe too many people in amercian though they had a power to vote but a trap...those USA Goverment encourage people vote so they believe in lie and be a sheep, those vote are nothing....it's had been select who would be before even Major "people" vote, so those vote are fake and scam since I'm living in amercain all my life, Best is not play those game (not vote any two crap or evil since it's evil, is evil, nothing good, so no point, in fact divion and conquer, divion and conquer, they set up two race for president but it's all act and game to them paid doing this...worst than a hollywood movies because they mess people's live rather than that. I mean how is that hard to be kindness, and doing good to people yet those goverment keep doing evil and wicked to major people all time....if peope angry, and goverment opp sorry, blame that guy and keep doing evil to people in new way, still.....

Make your voices heard in Washington, people.

on Nov 20, 2012

I don't know why you are upset. Various agencies have been monitoring your email, facebook and twitter comments all along. The only problem is that they would not be able to use what they find in court. However, this does provide them with leads that can be used to acquire warrants. This proposal would allow them to use anything they find against you even without a warrant.

Drop your pants and bend over...

(Thank to free handout...I guess..)
