The U.S. government has built an apparatus of mass surveillance that is unconstitutional, abridges or endangers all our rights, and must be dismantled.
Under Section 702 of FISA, the NSA, FBI, and other government agencies collect and store private communications from millions of Americans and then query FISA 702 databases for our personal information—all without probable cause and a warrant.
When the state can’t gather our data through brute technological force, it compels private industry to hand it over through intimidation and legal threats, or simply by paying or rewarding private actors to serve as agents of the state.
And the abuses go beyond surveillance to due process. The state wields the Espionage Act as a weapon to silence whistleblowers and journalists.
These assaults on the Fourth and Fifth Amendments chill speech.
I’ll always fight against every scheme to surveil or subdue the people, and I’ll work to pass legislation to expressly bar state-agent relationships that violate our rights.

100 year old veteran breaks down in tears at what America has become
“The things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it’s all gone down the drain”
I know you are busy and you have (rightly) moved on with your life…
But it’s important to look back at the very recent past to see the orchestrated scam that was perpetrated on the hard working people of the world…
Because, they learned and they are planning to do it again.
Today in 1993, after a senseless siege that lasted 51 days, the US government murdered 82 people at Waco.
US Attorney General Janet Reno authorized tanks to flood the compound with tear gas on April 19.
Instead of encouraging evacuation, the decision backfired.
Those inside scrambled to protect their children and fled to enclosed areas.
Federal agents fired rounds into the compound on the same day, starting a massive fire that consumed the entire structure. The state denied firing any munitions, but infrared cameras captured the thermal signatures of many gunshots from the tanks.
As the compound burned, women and children burned alive in agony. After the tragedy, federal agents took pictures in front of corpses that were still smoldering.
This tragedy was the natural result of draconian gun control laws, and reminds us that our hatred of the US government is not misplaced.
We remember the innocent victims of the Waco massacre today.
