Sheldon Richman: The USA Freedom Act Is Inscrutable Because Politicians Know Power Thrives On Complexity
Just as roaches flourish in the dark. In a democracy citizens prevent the government from abusing them by staying informed and exercising their "rights" under the system. They monitor the politicians’ and bureaucrats’ conduct, and when citizens see what they consider misbehavior, they act to stop it either by communicating ... MORE

The NSA's technotyranny. We now have a fourth branch of government.

Ancestry.Com Is Now Sharing Your DNA With The Police
by Joshua Krause. The police state just took a very dark turn. We all know that private corporations tend to side with the government on privacy issues, and they’re more than willing to hand over our information when the government asks for it. Google and Facebook are pretty well-known examples of that, and they’ve been doing it for so long ... MORE
John W. Whitehead: Jesus Died In A Police State
Challenging power can be dangerous. It is fitting at a time when the nation is grappling with moral questions about how best to execute death row prisoners, whether police should be held responsible for shooting unarmed citizens, and to what extent we allow the government to dictate, monitor and control every aspect of our lives,
that we ... MORE

Home Appliances Could Soon Be Controlled By Government
by Daniel Barker. Increasingly, our freedom and autonomy are threatened by those who seek to monitor and control every aspect of our daily lives. George Orwell’s “Big Brother” from the novel 1984 is a pale threat in comparison to the dystopian reality our leaders which have created for us since that book was published more than six ... MORE
John W. Whitehead: Welcome To The Matrix
Enslaved by technology and the Internet of things. If ever Americans sell their birthright, it will be for the promise of expediency and comfort delivered by way of blazingly fast Internet, cell phone signals that never drop a call, thermostats that keep us at the perfect temperature without our having to raise a finger, and ...

David Perera: Smart Grid Powers Up Privacy Worries
"Smart" means they are data-mining instruments. The better to monitor us with. The next Big Data threat to our privacy may come from the electricity we consume in our homes. “Smart” online power meters are tracking energy use — and that data may soon be worth more than the electricity they distribute. The Department of Energy ... MORE

Kevin D. Williamson: Tinker, Tailor, Stalker, Spy
The NSA uses powers to spy on wives and girl friends.

How The NSA Tampers With US-Made Internet Routers
by Glenn Greenwald. For years, the US government loudly warned the world that Chinese routers and other internet devices pose a "threat" because they are built with backdoor surveillance functionality that gives the Chinese government the ability to spy on anyone using them. Yet what the NSA's documents show is that Americans have been ... MORE
Surveillance Sneaking Its Way Into The Cities
by Steven Greenhut. In 1966, the then-Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas warned
about an "alarming trend whereby the
privacy and dignity of our citizens is being whittled
away." Each step is imperceptible, he
wrote, "but when viewed as a whole, there
begins to emerge a… society in which government may intrude into
the secret regions ... MORE
New Cop-Detection Device Warns When They Are Lurking
by John Vibes. The Blu Eye system works by monitoring frequencies that are used by emergency vehicles and then alerts the driver when those frequencies are nearby.

Andrew Napolitano: Chilling Free Speech
What's going on here?
