... and understood everything... I learn something else! This is a continuation of what J. Edgar Hoover was doing with the FBI, only exponentially.

This is what he said that was most important: They've been collecting all this data on each and every one of us. If they ever want it, they can stick your name, etc., in their computer, and print the story of your effing life out. From cradle to present day and indeed to your grave.

You know, Drake and Binney, Ellsberg and Chris Hedges have been on DemocracyNow many times over the last year or two, well say ever since they let Drake out of prison for whistle-blowing. DemocracyNow.org archives are your friend! Go look them up and see what they were saying "pre-Snowden" when you have some time...
