Tyranny Beyond Anything Yet Known on Earth

Feds are setting up the machinery of a totalitarianism beyond anything yet known on the earth

I read that Apple and Google have begun encrypting the data of customers so that nobody, including Apple and Google, have plaintext access to it.

This of course means “so that the government will not have access to it.” The FBI is terribly upset about this, the first serious resistance against onrushing Orwellianism. God bless Apple and Google. But will they be able to stand up to the feds?

Here is a curious situation indeed. The government has become our enemy, out of control, and we have to depend on computer companies for any safety we may have.

NSA spies on us illegally and in detail, recording telephone conversations, reading email, recording our financial transactions, on and on. TSA makes air travel a nightmare, forcing us to hop about barefoot and confiscating toothpaste. The police kick in our doors at night on no-knock raids and shoot our dogs. In bus stations we are subject to search without probable cause. The feds track us through our cell phones. Laws make it a crime to photograph the police, an out-and-out totalitarian step: Cockroaches do not like light. The feds give police forces across the country weaponry normal to militaries. Whatever the intention, it is the hardware of control of dissent. Think Tian An Men Square in China.

The Federal Government has been at war against the American people since Roosevelt's Proclamation 2039 changed the Trading with the Enemy Act to include "any transactions" and "any person." The original act applied to "other than citizens of the United States."

Roosevelt's Proclamation 2040 in 1933 was to be in force until a further Presidential proclamation ended the national emergency. No president has revoked it. This is why the President can get away with whatever he wants - we're technically still in a state of emergency 80 years later!

I agreed with just about everything except this: Laws make it a crime to photograph the police. I know of no law that makes it illegal to photograph cops, unless you are too close, interfering, etc.

What?? I couldn't hear you.
The cheering masses have drowned out your message.....
I'll check with the NSA to see what you said, I suppose....

Is our government really our government? I think this country has been overtaken and most people just haven't realized it yet. The overtakers seem to be gradually desensitizing us and at some point will officially inform us that we have been seized.
