It’s important that internal spying takes place there are new capabilities available for people to attack us
Security is very important – It’s important that internal spying takes place – if you are innocently communicating electronically with family and friends you have nothing to worry about – but if you are planning something against the American people, no matter where you are, it is important that there be surveillance on a national level.
The risk to the American people is as high, if not higher, than it was prior to 9/11 and as we have seen with the recent murder of a number of Israeli tourists in Bulgaria, terrorists can reach far and wide. We all know that there are certain buzz words that people use that are red flagged for investigation, with close to 95% of them being deemed innocent but what about the remaining 5% – what happens if there are further attacks here in the States and we find out that everything in the power of the government was not done to prevent them? Who gets the blame??? The CIA, NSA, FBI, everybody really.
Spying on those that offer a clear threat is very important and there is nothing racist about it. The Mosques, meeting places of Muslims and those that pose a religious danger to the well-being of the US need to be kept under surveillance. It is sad that this is a fact, but without keeping up the surveillance we are opening the doors to a lot of trouble.
The Irish communities were kept under surveillance during the troubles in Northern Ireland. Huge amounts of American money found its way back to the Irish terrorists that enabled them to buy weapons from Libya, the former Soviet Union, Iran and other locations where they could go on a cheap shopping spree – American money caused untold death and destruction in Ireland and the UK.
So we all need to wake up, realize the dangers that we now face and come to terms with the fact that our world has changed, that the US is not the US of 20 years ago, even 10 years ago – there are new capabilities available for people to attack us, and ruin the lives of many innocent Americans.
