DISAPPEARING CIVIL RIGHTS (part 3)


The Obama administration is systematically dismantling your Fourth Amendment rights:
  • GPS tracking: Police have the ability to tap into your cell phone, smart phone, laptop and navigation device to track your every move, and they can do this without obtaining a warrant. Last year, the Justice Department argued that warrantless tracking is permitted because Americans enjoy no "reasonable expectation of privacy" in their-- or at least their cell phones' -- whereabouts.
  • Department of Homeland Security (DHS): The DHS recently released a series of terrorist-watch videos "See Something, Say Something" that effectively tell Americans to spy on each other. These video clips depict Americans as terror threats, and then advise citizens to report the behaviors of their fellow citizens.
  • Transportation and Security Administration (TSA): Agents at airports across the country have harassed, groped and terrorized innocent Americans - including small children and the elderly - as they attempt to board airplanes. It is not uncommon to hear passengers complain of strip searches and humiliation, all without due cause.
  • Social Media Spies: The Department of Homeland Security makes fake Twitter and Facebook profiles for the specific purpose of scanning these sites for "watch list" words. If you are tagged by DHS, they read your posts and dig into your account to find out who you are. 
  • Court Decisions: The Supreme Court ruled on Kentucky v. King that law enforcement have the authority to stage a search and seizure of Americans' property without obtaining a warrant from a judge. And the Indiana State Supreme Court ruled in Barnes v. State of Indiana that police can enter a resident's private property at any time - without a warrant, without suspicion, without reason - and without knocking and announcing their presence!
Think about this for a moment; While you are putting burgers on the grill ... while your kids are jumping on the trampoline ... while you are standing in the yard talking to a neighbor ... while you are window shopping ... or sitting outside at a café, having lunch ... the eyes of the U.S. government will be upon you.

I am not kidding.  Small drones will begin flying in June, and all types of them will be allowed into the skies by
September 30, 2015.  All courtesy of President Barack Obama.  He signed the "FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012" into law on February 14.  It allows for a broad expansion of drones over the United States. Supposedly In the name of "security?" Hardly!

Quietly, without comments from the mainstream media, without opposition from anyone in Congress,
America is becoming Obama's police state.
