In reply to the discussion: Should the NSA be abolished? [View all]99Forever
(14,524 posts)21. Methinks, you misread my meaning.
The OP is meant to provide cover for spying on ALL of us, and all of the other shitty things this administration is doing. It isn't an honest call to end the NSA or any other of the alphabet soup of police state surveillance agencies, it's a way to make excuses for the myriad of UNCONSTITUTIONAL abuses they are visiting upon us.
Make no mistake, the agents of the MIC are among us and will say and do anything to protect their masters.
