First, I am scheduled for a procedure to remove a cancerous tumor from a kidney, something that just a few years ago would have required the removal of the whole kidney.
Second, the current health care system in the US is a joke. As long as insurance companies are in charge of how much care you can receive, it will remain a joke.
Third, the NSA has been monitoring Cell phone calls since the cell phone was put on the market, it is after all just a sophisticated radio transceiver. The supreme court ruled there is no right to privacy with cell phone use.
Fourth the FBI used to monitor emails with a program that picked out key words, like bomb, assassination, etc.
Fifth, belonging to certain groups in the US gets you on the Justice Department watch list, and this has been going on since Nixon.
Finally, the US postal service photographs every piece of mail that goes through their facilities, partly to check addresses, which would mean that after a shift the data is dumped, which it is not, so go figure.
Yes the system is screwed up. But not in the way Alex Jones and you think. In some ways, it is worse, and in others, it is just stupid enough to be the result of a bunch of elected individuals getting together, I assume getting drunk (since no one sober could come up with some of the shit) and coming up with bullshit regulations that only make sense if you are under the influence of heavy duty pain killers.
