Police State

Cops lobbying to be an even more protected class via hate crime laws.

Justification for the surveillance state.
"Catch these comments from “a speech at Washington and Lee University,” where Hayden
opined on signals intelligence under the Constitution, arguing that what the 4th Amendment forbids changed after September 11, 2001. He noted that “unreasonable search and seizure,” is prohibited under the Constitution, but cast it as a living document, with “reasonableness” determined by “the totality of circumstances in which we find ourselves in history.”
He explained that as the NSA’s leader, tactics he found unreasonable on September 10, 2001 struck him as reasonable the next day, after roughly 3,000 were killed. “I actually started to do different things,” he said. “And I didn’t need to ask ‘mother, may I’ from the Congress or the president or anyone else.
Wow."
Nothing is unreasonable to this guy.

Mathematicians claim to be uncomfortable about the ethics of working with the NSA, but they keep doing it.
"This is perhaps due to the NSA's generous funding of mathematics-related research.
Ya think? Government money corrupts. This article documents how NSA is deeply embedded into universities.

Swedish companies embedding chips under employees' skin. This is ridiculous. Why would anybody stand for this?

Canada gives spy agencies new powers after first ever terrorist attack.

Whistleblowers say TSA abuses authority to cover up wrongdoing. They abuse their authority every time they touch somebody.
