Why Spy

     In May of 2013, N.S.A whistle blower Edward Snowden revealed to the whole world that The U.S government regularly spies on the American public. Since then, every week new details seem to emerge. The full extent is still not known, but it is believed that the federal government records and stores emails, phone calls & texts of roughly 70% of the American public. Anyone who believes the government only spies on "bad guys" is very wrong. Many sources are now claiming the N.S.A spies on everyone, whether you are a threat or not. In the eyes if the federal government everything is a threat.
     The fourth amendment of the U.S constitution guarantees protection against warrantless searches, but we are told its for our safety, "to catch terrorists" they say.
As of right now the fourth amendment is dead. Warrantless phone tapping and spying cuts to the very heart of privacy. The N.S.A has admitted to spying on 3 quarters of the worlds smartphones and has implanted their code into all Android and i-phone systems. This enables them to remotely turn on your microphone or camera when your phone is off! They can then listen and track you wherever you go.
This is not limited to phones either. The N.S.A also has the ability to turn on your webcam or microphone on your computer and watch you at home.
     With these recent revelations, the American public feels very uneasy and is questioning the effectiveness of the program. We are left with questions like, how much is enough?  When the federal government watches me in my own home, and I'm not suspected of a crime...... that's enough!
The U.S government has done a great job selling the war on terror to the American public. If they keep the citizens scared under the guise of terrorism, people will do anything...including give up their liberties! -BDB
