    Mass surveillance was never classified to save lives. It was classified because the government knew if a real court ruled on it, they would declare it unconstitutional. Since 2013, they have.

Here's what GCHQ said in top secret documents: [secrecy is required because...] "agency practices (ie the scale of interception and deletion) could lead to damaging public debate which might lead to legal challenges against the current regime."https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/oct/25/leaked-memos-gchq-mass-surveillance-secret-snowden …

        So why are they storing all this data, aside from discrediting & blackmailing any who oppose them? Well, when you need to create a realistic artificial environment, b/c you destroyed the last real one, metadata comes in handy. Like a game *save point 😐 *shrug. I could be wrong

        You can't keep transferring the collective wealth from the bottom to the top, and not constantly monitor the bottom for signs of revolt to squash.

        if people do not stop the overreach there will be NO CHANCE in the future. There will only be MORE technology built to control the masses, drones, everything. We are at a SERIOUS crossroads.

        There is no "Western Democracy". UK officially monarchy. Australia Canada etc officially under Crown too. US=biggest financial exploitation, R&D and military outpost of Brit monarchy for NWO, with plausible deniability.

        They are using surveillance system to abuse people with HAARP Electromagnetic Frequency. I was attacked by US Military in 2013 & indoctrinated me in Terrorism. They keep 24/7 surveillance on me for non consensual mind control experiments with HAARP Electromagnetic Frequencies

        US agencies are collecting data through Surveillance for mind control and no consensual human experiments. In my case US Military was actually engineering Terrorism, to frame Zimbabwe of Islamic Terrorism & to invade for Strategic Minerals. US Military is engineering Terrorism

        What’s unconstitutional is the gross mishandling of public resources on something stupid like this. All the veterans o the streets and with medical problems and government speeding all that money on finding a needle in a hay stack.

        You misunderstand the purpose. It isn't to find a needle in a hay stack. It's to control the population. "Finding a needle in a haystack" is how it's sold to the public.
