The Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI, is the domestic intelligence and security service of the United States, which simultaneously serves as the nation’s prime federal law enforcement agency. It is this federal agency in which corruption has been allowed to run ramped and go unchecked for decades. Well not anymore!
Glenn Greenwalds, The Intercept, has just dropped a bombshell on the FBI’s head in that he has released a series of documents exposing massive amounts of “unchecked” power and “loopholes” the agency is using in order to push the limits of the U.S. Constitution by conducting near illegal activities. Here are a “sliver” of examples from, The Intercept:
“… the bureau’s agents can decide that a campus organization is not “legitimate” and therefore not entitled to robust protections for free speech; dig for derogatory information on potential informants without any basis for believing they are implicated in unlawful activity; use a person’s immigration status to pressure them to collaborate and then help deport them when they are no longer useful; conduct invasive “assessments” without any reason for suspecting the targets of wrongdoing; demand that companies provide the bureau with personal data about their users in broadly worded national security letters without actual legal authority to do so; fan out across the internet along with a vast army of informants, infiltrating countless online chat rooms; peer through the walls of private homes; and more.”
But that’s not even the half of it!! No, this corruption board-lines, “playing-god”. Here’s more on this breaking report…

Great job, Lisa. Re: surveillance of American citizens take a close look at Lexis Nexis. They’ve grown exponentially. They’re handling a million pages of data every minute. Insane. An overwhelming amount of info is just setting up chains to implicate a bigger picture.
greed.
