Then there were cameras on every major street and highway.
Then there were full-body scans at airports.
Then came the proliferation of drones over the skies of America.
Barack Obama announced today the next phase of government national surveillance – with a budget of billions.
It’s called “the National Strategy for Biosurveillance.”
But, don’t worry, it’s all for the public good, health and safety, officials say.

Okay. So WHO doesn't think we are headed for a police state on a scale that history has never seen before? The article failed to mention the "stop & frisk" of INNOCENT citizens (700,000 in New York City!! - read THAT again!), 9500 roving Nazi "checkpoints" by the TSA on American highways, the unmarked trucks with backscatter X-ray machines roaming around the country looking into cars and houses, and of course, the secret trials and prisons (the "teeth" in the Patriot Act), the US military practicing crowd control (who do think they are practicing FOR??), warrantless searches and seizures, the list is practically endless. These are FACTS. Not "paranoia". Not "tin-foil hat" conspiracy. Not hyperbole. Facts. Disregarding them, minimizing them, justifying them, excusing them, or rationalizing them (maybe the worst thing), makes you look stupid, naive, brainwashed, part of the problem, ignorant, or someone who just can't wait to get that swatiska out and tell on your neighbors. Hitler, Mao, and Stalin may be dead, but their ideas are seemingly all the rage among our "leaders". Keep cheering --- they LOVE it.
