breakingtheset · Published on May 20, 2014

Abby Martin highlights a new report by The Intercept showing that the NSA is collecting and recording virtually every single phone call made on the island nation of the Bahamas and how this dangerous technology is usurping the rights of global citizens.

over and caged into approximate slavery. And when the cage closes garish signs and loud chants by thousands or even hundreds of thousands will be of no help. The masses will be simply be silenced by cops with tanks or drones the size of vultures. This is what is coming. We are witnessing what we might have gone to a movie to see in 1968.

The uber rich must constantly keep all of us under the microscope just in case we go after them and take our national wealth back. As has been done throughout history, when the majority of citizens suffer too much abuse by the 1%, the majority goes after the wealth stockpiled by the uber rich. After all, it isn't really their wealth. They got it through our governments. Our government takes from us and gives it to the 1% in the form of bailouts, selective taxation and get out of jail with NO pay back schemes.

The NSA is merely providing information to the uber rich so that their military and police have what they need to bring any radicals in line. The US is NO DIFFERENT FROM THE POLICE STATE OF COMMUNIST CHINA THAT THEY ADMIRE SO MUCH.
