WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT? GOV’T TRACKED CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS, SHARED PHONES RECORDS WITH UK

You may want to sit down for this.

It appears that along with online information, the U.S. government has tracked credit card purchases and, in some cases, shared phone data with the U.K., according to The Wall Street Journal and The Daily Beast.

It was revealed earlier this week that the feds have been monitoring Verizon, Sprint Nextel, and AT&T customers and that the National Security Administration had established a massive program, code-named PRISM, that indicates the monitoring of Americans.

Now the Wall Street Journal’s sources claim NSA operations also encompass purchase information from credit-card providers.

Remember the moment when the PRESIDENT OF THE USA (who SWORE an oath, on the Bible) to defend and protect the Constitution, told us we need to start making "choices" between "security" and "privacy". Remember it well. Firstly, it sounds like they already made that choice for us (land of the free, where voting has given us THIS travesty of a government). Secondly, what Constitutional Law professor (thats what he says on his resume) tells the American people that they need to start CHOOSING (!?) between their God-given freedoms and rights and the GOVERNMENT'S desire to complete own your life? These bastards DON'T give us ANY freedoms! God gave us these freedoms and they are not to be parceled out at their whim or fancy! I'm sorry to say that I think it might be too late for this great nation. We have went too far down the road of "if you take care of us, you can do anything you want!!" Jefferson and Franklin and Adams are crying in Heaven....
