Police State

Feds are prosecuting instructors of how to defeat polygraph tests. On what grounds?

Owner of Lavabit.com, an email encryption service used by NSA whistleblower Snowden, risks arrest for resisting police state aggression.

Two senators slam NSA for under-reporting violations.

"Two US senators on the intelligence committee said on Friday that thousands of annual violations by the National Security Agency on its own restrictions were "the tip of the iceberg.""

Thousands is all they'll admit to in public. This is designed to make people think NSA is not so bad, that good people sometimes make mistakes. Baloney. Because of the nature of government and the NSA, violations of privacy are the rule, not the exception.

The US government protects al Qaeda terrorists.

"[Post 9/11] we have today what the journalist Dana Priest has called two governments: the one its citizens were familiar with, operated more or less in the open: the other a parallel top secret government whose parts had mushroomed in less than a decade into a gigantic, sprawling universe of its own, visible to only a carefully vetted cadre – and its entirety…visible only to God.[1] "

That secret government and many politicians need al Qaeda to scare Americans to keep their jobs. The last thing they want to do is defeat them.
