        What makes governments dangerous? Power. What does government surveillance do? Increases government power.

        No surprise. What's becoming of our society? Next: a police state. Our freedoms are eroding before our very eyes. We need to take a stand.

        They want to control the internet it isnt about rights but power. Information is power. Information to experts on social engineering?

        Why even bother with this charade? Transparency is out the door along with our constitutional rights & the tail wags the dog.
